Exodus 29
1 Sed et hoc facies, ut mihi in sacerdotio consecrentur. Tolle vitulum de armento, et arietes duos immaculatos,
Now this is how you are to proceed to dedicate them to serve me as priests. Take a young bull and two rams with no defects.
2 panesque azymos, et crustulam absque fermento, quae conspersa sit oleo, lagana quoque azyma oleo lita: de simila triticea cuncta facies.
Then using the best wheat flour, make the following without yeast: bread, cakes mixed with olive oil, and wafers sprinkled with olive oil.
3 Et posita in canistro offeres: vitulum autem et duos arietes.
Put them all in a basket, and bring them as an offering, along with the bull and the two rams.
4 Et Aaron, ac filios eius applicabis ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii. Cumque laveris patrem cum filiis suis aqua,
Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and wash them with water.
5 indues Aaron vestimentis suis, id est, linea et tunica, et superhumerali et rationali, quod constringes balteo.
Take the clothes and put them on Aaron: the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastpiece. Tie the ephod on him with its waistband.
6 Et pones tiaram in capite eius, et laminam sanctam super tiaram,
Wrap the turban on his head and attach the holy crown to the turban.
7 et oleum unctionis fundes super caput eius: atque hoc ritu consecrabitur.
Then use the anointing oil to anoint him by pouring it over his head.
8 Filios quoque illius applicabis, et indues tunicis lineis, cingesque balteo,
Then have his sons come and put the tunics on them.
9 Aaron scilicet et liberos eius, et impones eis mitras: eruntque sacerdotes mihi religione perpetua. Postquam initiaveris manus eorum,
Tie the sashes around Aaron and his sons and put headdresses on them. The priesthood belongs to them forever. This is how you are to ordain Aaron and his sons.
10 applicabis et vitulum coram tabernaculo testimonii. Imponentque Aaron et filii eius manus super caput illius,
Take the bull to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons are to place their hands on its head.
11 et mactabis eum in conspectu Domini, iuxta ostium tabernaculi testimonii.
Then slaughter the bull in the Lord's presence at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
12 Sumptumque de sanguine vituli, pones super cornua altaris digito tuo, reliquum autem sanguinem fundes iuxta basim eius.
Take some of the bull's blood and smear it on the horns of the altar with your finger. Then pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
13 Sumes et adipem totum qui operit intestina, et reticulum iecoris, ac duos renes, et adipem qui super eos est, et offeres incensum super altare:
Take all the fat that covers the intestines, the best parts of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and burn them on the altar.
14 carnes vero vituli et corium et fimum combures foris extra castra, eo quod pro peccato sit.
But burn the bull's meat, its hide, and its excrement outside the camp—it is an offering for sin.
15 Unum quoque arietem sumes, super cuius caput ponent Aaron et filii eius manus.
Next have Aaron and his sons place their hands on the head of one of the rams.
16 Quem cum mactaveris, tolles de sanguine eius, et fundes circa altare.
Slaughter the ram, take its blood, and splash it all around the altar.
17 ipsum autem arietem secabis in frustra. lotaque intestina eius ac pedes pones super concisas carnes, et super caput illius.
Cut the ram in pieces, wash the intestines and legs, and put them with the other pieces and the head.
18 Et offeres totum arietem in incensum super altare: oblatio est Domino, odor suavissimus victimae Domini.
Then burn all of the ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord to be accepted by him.
19 Tolles quoque arietem alterum, super cuius caput Aaron et filii eius ponent manus.
Then have Aaron and his sons place their hands the head of the other ram.
20 Quem cum immolaveris, sumes de sanguine eius, et pones super extremum auriculae dextrae Aaron et filiorum eius, et super pollices manus eorum ac pedis dextri, fundesque sanguinem super altare per circuitum.
Slaughter the ram, and put some of its blood on the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Splash the rest of its blood all around the altar.
21 Cumque tuleris de sanguine qui est super altare, et de oleo unctionis, asperges Aaron et vestes eius, filios et vestimenta eorum. Consecratisque ipsis et vestibus,
Take some of the blood from the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes, and on his sons and their clothes. Then he and his clothes will be made holy, likewise his sons and their clothes.
22 tolles adipem de ariete, et caudam et arvinam, quae operit vitalia, ac reticulum iecoris, et duos renes, atque adipem, qui super eos est, armumque dextrum, eo quod sit aries consecrationis:
Take the fat from the ram, including the fat of its broad tail, the fat covering the intestines, the best parts of the liver, the two kidneys with their fat, as well as the right thigh (because this is a ram for ordination).
23 tortamque panis unius, crustulam conspersam oleo, laganum de canistro azymorum, quod positum est in conspectu Domini:
Also take one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with olive oil, and one wafer from the basket of bread made without yeast that is in the Lord's presence.
24 ponesque omnia super manus Aaron et filiorum eius, et sanctificabis eos elevans coram Domino.
Give all of them to Aaron and his sons to wave before the Lord as a wave offering.
25 Suscipiesque universa de manibus eorum: et incendes super altare in holocaustum, odorem suavissimum in conspectu Domini, quia oblatio eius est.
Then take the different breads back and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering to the Lord to be accepted by him.
26 Sumes quoque pectusculum de ariete, quo initiatus est Aaron, sanctificabisque illud elevatum coram Domino, et cedet in partem tuam.
Take the breast of the ram of Aaron's ordination and wave it before the Lord as a wave offering. This is the part you can keep.
27 Sanctificabisque et pectusculum consecratum, et armum quem de ariete separasti,
Set apart for Aaron and his sons the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the offering that is lifted up, both taken from the ram of ordination.
28 quo initiatus est Aaron et filii eius, cedentque in partem Aaron et filiorum eius iure perpetuo a filiis Israel: quia primitiva sunt et initia de victimis eorum pacificis quae offerunt Domino.
From now on whenever the Israelites lift up peace offerings to the Lord, these parts will belong to Aaron and his sons forever as a regular share from the Israelites.
29 Vestem autem sanctam, qua utetur Aaron, habebunt filii eius post eum, ut ungantur in ea, et consecrantur manus eorum.
The holy garments that Aaron has will be passed down to his descendants, so they can wear them when they're anointed and ordained.
30 Septem diebus utetur illa qui pontifex pro eo fuerit constitutus de filiis eius, et qui ingredietur tabernaculum testimonii ut ministret in Sanctuario.
The descendant who succeeds him as priest and enters the Tent of Meeting to serve in the Holy Place must wear them for the seven days of his ordination.
31 Arietem autem consecrationis tolles, et coques carnes eius in loco sancto:
Take the ram of ordination and boil its meat in a holy place.
32 quibus vescetur Aaron et filii eius. Panes quoque, qui sunt in canistro, in vestibulo tabernaculi testimonii comedent,
Aaron and his sons are to eat the ram's meat, and the bread that is in the basket, at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
33 ut sit placabile sacrificium, et sanctificentur offerentium manus. Alienigena non vescetur ex eis, quia sancti sunt.
They are to eat the meat and the bread that were part of the offerings that symbolized the forgiveness required for their ordination and dedication. No one else may eat them, because they are holy.
34 Quod si remanserit de carnibus consecratis, sive de panibus usque mane, combures reliquias igni: non comedentur, quia sanctificata sunt.
If any of the meat of ordination or any bread remains until the morning, burn what's left. It must not be eaten, because it's holy.
35 Omnia, quae praecepi tibi, facies super Aaron et filiis eius. Septem diebus consecrabis manus eorum:
This is the process you are to follow for Aaron and his sons, observing all the instructions I have given you. It will take seven days to ordain them.
36 et vitulum pro peccato offeres per singulos dies ad expiandum. Mundabisque altare cum immolaveris expiationis hostiam, et unges illud in sanctificationem.
Every day you are to sacrifice a bull as a sin offering for forgiveness. When you do this the altar needs to be purified. Anoint it to make it holy.
37 Septem diebus expiabis altare, et sanctificabis, et erit Sanctum sanctorum. omnis, qui tetigerit illud, sanctificabitur.
For seven days you shall purify the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become completely holy, and everything that touches the altar will become holy.
38 Hoc est quod facies in altari: Agnos anniculos duos per singulos dies iugiter,
You are to offer two lambs that are a year old on the altar, daily and continually.
39 unum agnum mane, et alterum vespere,
In the morning offer one lamb, and offer the other one in the evening before it gets dark.
40 decimam partem similae conspersae oleo tuso, quod habeat mensuram quartam partem hin, et vinum ad libandum eiusdem mensurae in agno uno.
With the first lamb also offer a tenth of an ephah of best quality flour, mixed with a quarter of a hin of olive oil, and a drink offering of a quarter of a hin of wine.
41 Alterum vero agnum offeres ad vesperam iuxta ritum matutinae oblationis, et iuxta ea quae diximus, in odorem suavitatis:
Then offer the second lamb in the evening, with the same grain and drink offerings as in the morning, a burnt offering to the Lord and accepted by him.
42 sacrificium est Domino, oblatione perpetua in generationes vestras, ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino, ubi constituam ut loquar ad te.
These burnt offerings will be made continually for all generations at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting in the Lord's presence. I will meet you there to speak with you.
43 Ibique praecipiam filiis Israel, et sanctificabitur altare in gloria mea.
I will meet with the Israelites there, and that place will be made holy by my glory.
44 Sanctificabo et tabernaculum testimonii cum altari, et Aaron cum filiis suis, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
In this way I will dedicate the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and I will dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.
45 Et habitabo in medio filiorum Israel, eroque eis Deus,
Then I will live with the Israelites and be their God.
46 et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum, qui eduxi eos de Terra Aegypti, ut manerem inter illos, ego Dominus Deus ipsorum.
They will know that I am the Lord their God, who led them out of Egypt, so that I could live with them. I am the Lord their God.
