| 1 And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them,
to minister unto me in the priest's office: take one young bullock and two
rams without blemish, 2 and unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened mingled
with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of fine wheaten flour
shalt thou make them. 3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring
them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams. 4 And Aaron and his
sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash
them with water. 5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron
the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and
gird him with the skilfully woven band of the ephod; 6 and thou shalt set
the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre. 7 Then
shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them. 9 And thou
shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and bind head-tires on
them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and thou
shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10 And thou shalt bring the bullock before the tent of meeting: and Aaron
and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock. 11 And
thou shalt kill the bullock before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of
meeting. 12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it
upon the horns of the altar with thy finger; and thou shalt pour out all the
blood at the base of the altar. 13 And thou shalt take all the fat that
covereth the inwards, and the caul upon the liver, and the two kidneys, and
the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar. 14 But the flesh
of the bullock, and its skin, and it dung, shalt thou burn with fire without
the camp: it is a sin-offering.
15 Thou shalt also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay
their hands upon the head of the ram. 16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and
thou shalt take its blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
17 And thou shalt cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its inwards, and
its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head. 18 And thou
shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering unto Jehovah;
it is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay
their hands upon the head of the ram. 20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and
take of its blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and
upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right
hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon
the altar round about. 21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon
the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his
garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and
he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments
with him. 22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat, and the fat tail,
and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two
kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram
of consecration), 23 and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread,
and one wafer, out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Jehovah.
24 And thou shalt put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the
hands of his sons, and shalt wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah.
25 And thou shalt take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar
upon the burnt-offering, for a sweet savor before Jehovah: it is an offering
made by fire unto Jehovah.
26 And thou shalt take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave
it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: and it shall be thy portion. 27 And
thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave-offering, and the thigh of the
heave-offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of
consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his
sons: 28 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion
for ever from the children of Israel; for it is a heave-offering: and it
shall be a heave-offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of
their peace-offerings, even their heave-offering unto Jehovah.
29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be
anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them. 30 Seven days shall the
son that is priest in his stead put them on, when he cometh into the tent of
meeting to minister in the holy place.
31 And thou shalt take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a
holy place. 32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and
the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tent of meeting.
33 And they shall eat those things wherewith atonement was made, to
consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat
thereof, because they are holy. 34 And if aught of the flesh of the
consecration, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn
the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all
that I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them. 36 And
every day shalt thou offer the bullock of sin-offering for atonement: and
thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou makest atonement for it; and thou
shalt anoint it, to sanctify it. 37 Seven days thou shalt make atonement
for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatsoever
toucheth the altar shall be holy.
38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs a
year old day by day continually. 39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the
morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: 40 and with the one
lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth
part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a
drink-offering. 41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt
do thereto according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to
the drink-offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto
Jehovah. 42 It shall be a continual burnt-offering throughout your
generations at the door of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, where I will
meet with you, to speak there unto thee. 43 And there I will meet with the
children of Israel; and the Tent shall be sanctified by my glory.
44 And I will sanctify the tent of meeting, and the altar: Aaron also and
his sons will I sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's office. 45 And
I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. 46 And
they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, that brought them forth out of
the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Jehovah their God.
