Exodus 29:1-13 ▼

1 Now this is what you shall do to them to consecrate them, so that they may serve me as priests. Take one young bull and two rams without blemish,

2 and unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil. You shall make them of choice wheat flour.

3 You shall put them in one basket and bring them in the basket, and bring the bull and the two rams.

4 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and wash them with water.

5 Then you shall take the vestments, and put on Aaron the tunic and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastpiece, and gird him with the decorated band of the ephod;

6 and you shall set the turban on his head, and put the holy diadem on the turban.

7 You shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head and anoint him.

8 Then you shall bring his sons, and put tunics on them,

9 and you shall gird them with sashes and tie headdresses on them; and the priesthood shall be theirs by a perpetual ordinance. You shall then ordain Aaron and his sons.

10 You shall bring the bull in front of the tent of meeting. Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull,

11 and you shall slaughter the bull before the LORD, at the entrance of the tent of meeting,

12 and shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and all the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar.

13 You shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and turn them into smoke on the altar.
