1 And this the word thou shall do to them to consecrate them, to be priests to me: Take one bullock, the son of a cow, two complete rams,

2 And unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes, poured over with oil, and thin unleavened cakes, anointed with oil: of fine flour of wheat thou shalt make them.

3 And put them upon one basket, and bring them near in the basket with the bullock and the two rams.

4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring near to the door of the tent of the appointment, and wash them in water.

5 And take the garments, and put upon Aaron the tunic and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breast-plate, and gird on him with the girdle of the ephod.

6 And put the turban upon his head, and give the holy diadem upon the turban.

7 And take the oil of anointing, and thou shalt pour upon his head and anoint him.

8 And his sons thou shalt bring near and put tunics upon them.

9 And gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and bind to them turbans; and the priesthood shall be to them for a law forever: and fill the hand of Aaron and the hand of his sons.

10 And bring near the bullock before the tent of the appointment; and Aaron and his sons put their hands upon the head of the bullock,

11 And slaughter the bullock before Jehovah at the door of the tent of the appointment.

12 And take from the blood of the bullock, and give upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and all the blood thou shalt pour at the foundation of the altar.

13 And take all the fat of the covering upon the bowels, and the lobes upon the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn upon the altar.

14 And the flesh of the bullock and his skin, and his dung shalt thou burn with fire from without the camp: this the sin.

15 And the one ram thou shalt take; and Aaron and his sons put their hands upon the head of the ram.

16 And slaughter the ram, and take his blood and sprinkle upon the altar round about.

17 And the ram thou shalt cut into his pieces, and wash his bowels, and his legs, and give upon his pieces and upon his head.

18 And burn all the ram upon the altar: this a burnt-offering to Jehovah: this a sacrifice, a smell of a sweet odor to Jehovah.

19 And take the second ram; and Aaron put, and his sons, their hands upon the head of the ram.

20 And slaughter the ram, and take from his blood, and give upon the extremity of the ear of Aaron, and upon the extremity 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 take from the blood that is upon the altar, and of the oil of anointing, and sprinkle upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be consecrated, and his garments and the garments of his sons with him.
