“This is what you must do to dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests: Select one young bull and two rams that do not have any defects.

In the future, whenever the Israeli people present to me, Yahweh, offerings to maintain fellowship with me, the ribs and the thigh [of animals that they sacrifice] will be for Aaron and his male descendants [to eat].

They must eat the meat of the ram that was sacrificed to forgive them for [their sins] when they were dedicated to do this work. They are the only ones who are permitted to eat this meat. [Those who are not priests are not allowed to eat it], because it is dedicated to me.

If any of this meat or some of the bread is not eaten that night, no one is permitted to eat any of it the next day. It must be completely burned, because it is sacred/dedicated to me.
35 Este es el proceso que debes seguir para Aarón y sus hijos, observando todas las instrucciones que les he dado. La ordenación durará siete días.
“Those are the rituals that you(sg) must perform during those seven days when you dedicate Aaron and his sons for this work. You must do everything that I have commanded you.
36 Cada día debes sacrificar un toro como ofrenda para el perdón por el pecado. Al hacer esto, el altar necesita ser purificado. Úngelo para hacerlo sagrado.
Each of those seven days you must also sacrifice a young bull as an offering to me, in order that I may forgive sins. Also, you must make another offering (to make the altar pure in my sight/in order that I will consider the altar to be pure).

39 Por la mañana ofrece un cordero y por la tarde, antes de que oscurezca, ofrece el otro.
One lamb must be sacrificed in the morning, and one must be sacrificed in the evening.
40 Con el primer cordero ofrece también una décima parte de una efa de harina de la mejor calidad, mezclada con un cuarto de hin de aceite de oliva, y una libación de un cuarto de hin de vino.
With the first lamb, also offer (2 pounds/1 kilogram) of finely-ground wheat flour mixed with one quart/liter of the best kind of olive oil, and one quart/liter of wine as an offering.
41 Entonces ofrece el segundo cordero por la tarde, con las mismas ofrendas de grano y bebida que por la mañana, un holocausto al Señor y aceptado por él.
In the evening, when you sacrifice the other lamb, offer the same amounts of flour, olive oil, and wine as you did in the morning. This will be an offering to me, Yahweh, that will be burned, and its smell will please me.
42 Estos holocaustos se harán continuamente por todas las generaciones a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión en presencia del Señor. Allí me reuniré para hablar con ustedes.
You [and your descendants] must continue making these offerings to me, Yahweh, throughout all future generations. You must offer them at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. That is where I will meet with you and speak to you.
43 Me reuniré con los israelitas allí, y ese lugar será sagrado por mi gloria.
That is where I will meet with the Israeli people, and the brilliant light of my presence will cause that place to be holy/sacred.
44 De esta manera dedicaré el Tabernáculo de Reunión y el altar, y dedicaré a Aarón y sus hijos a servirme como sacerdotes.
I will dedicate the Sacred Tent and the altar. I will also dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests.
45 Entonces viviré con los israelitas y seré su Dios.

46 Ellos sabrán que soy el Señor su Dios, que los sacó de Egipto, para poder vivir con ellos. Yo soy el Señor su Dios.
They will know that I, Yahweh their God, am the one who brought them out of Egypt in order that I might live among them.”
