Exodus 29:1-21 ▼

1 “And this [is] the thing which you do to them, to hallow them, for being priests to Me: take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones,

2 and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil; you make them of fine wheat flour,

3 and you have put them on one basket, and have brought them near in the basket, also the bullock and the two rams.

4 And you bring Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed them with water;

5 and you have taken the garments, and have clothed Aaron with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and have girded him with the girdle of the ephod,

6 and have set the turban on his head, and have put the holy crown on the turban,

7 and have taken the anointing oil, and have poured [it] on his head, and have anointed him.

8 And you bring his sons near, and have clothed them [with] coats,

9 and have girded them [with] a girdle (Aaron and his sons), and have bound caps on them; and the priesthood has been theirs by a continuous statute, and you have consecrated the hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons,

10 and have brought the bullock near before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron has laid—his sons also—their hands on the head of the bullock.

11 And you have slaughtered the bullock before YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting,

12 and have taken of the blood of the bullock, and have put [it] on the horns of the altar with your finger, and you pour out all the blood at the foundation of the altar;

13 and you have taken all the fat which is covering the innards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, and have made incense on the altar;

14 and the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, you burn with fire at the outside of the camp; it [is] a sin-offering.

15 And you take the first ram, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram,

16 and you have slaughtered the ram, and have taken its blood, and have sprinkled [it] around the altar,

17 and you cut the ram into its pieces, and have washed its innards, and its legs, and have put [them] on its pieces, and on its head;

18 and you have made incense with the whole ram on the altar. It [is] a burnt-offering to YHWH, a refreshing fragrance; it [is] a fire-offering to YHWH.

19 And you have taken the second ram, and Aaron has laid—his sons also—their hands on the head of the ram,

20 and you have slaughtered the ram, and have taken of its blood, and have put [it] on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot, and have sprinkled the blood around the altar;

21 and you have taken of the blood which [is] on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and have sprinkled [it] on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him, and he has been hallowed, he and his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
