Exodus 29:1-14 ▼

1 “Now this is what you are to do to consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without blemish,

2 along with unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil. Make them out of fine wheat flour,

3 put them in a basket, and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams.

4 Then present Aaron and his sons at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

5 Take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastplate. Fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband.

6 Put the turban on his head and attach the holy diadem to the turban.

7 Then take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.

8 Present his sons as well and clothe them with tunics.

9 Wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and tie headbands on them. The priesthood shall be theirs by a permanent statute. In this way you are to ordain Aaron and his sons.

10 You are to present the bull at the front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

11 And you shall slaughter the bull before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

12 Take some of the blood of the bull and put 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 Take all the fat that covers the entrails and the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.

14 But burn the flesh of the bull and its hide and dung outside the camp; it is a sin offering.
