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 tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened
anointed with oil: of 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 tabernacle of the
congregation, 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 curious girdle
of the ephod:
6 And
thou shalt put 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 put the bonnets on
them: and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou
shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10 And
thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the
bullock.
11 And
thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
12 And
thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon
the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the
bottom of the altar.
13 And
thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above
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 his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire
without the camp: it is a sin offering.
15 Thou
shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the
head of the ram.
16 And
thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round
about upon the altar.
17 And
thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs,
and put them unto
his pieces, and unto his head.
18 And
thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a
burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by
fire unto the LORD.
19 And
thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands
upon the head of the ram.
20 Then
shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his 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 rump, and the fat that covereth the
inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and
the fat that is upon
them, and the right shoulder; 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 the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:
24 And
thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and
shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.
25 And
thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon
the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an
offering made by fire unto the LORD.
26 And
thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a
wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
27 And
thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the
heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the
consecration, even of that which is for
Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:
28 And
it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of
Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an
heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace
offerings, even their
heave offering unto the LORD.
29 And
the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed
therein, and to be consecrated in them.
30 And that son that is priest in his stead
shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the
congregation to minister in the holy place.
31 And
thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy
place.
32 And
Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the
basket, by the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
33 And
they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to
sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.
34 And
if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, 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 things which
I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
36 And
thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou
shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou
shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.
37 Seven
days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall
be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
38 Now
this is that which
thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year 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 deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin
of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a
drink offering.
41 And
the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the
meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for
a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout
your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.
43 And
there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall
be sanctified by my glory.
44 And
I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will
sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, 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 the LORD their God, that brought them
forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the
LORD their God.
