Exodus 29:1-22 ▼

1 “ And this is the thing that you shall do to them to sanctify them to minister as priests to Me: Take one bull, a son of the herd, and two rams, unblemished,

2 and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mixed with the oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with the oil; you shall make them of fine flour of wheat.

3 And you shall put them in one basket and bring them near in the basket and with the bull and the two rams.

4 And you shall bring near Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and you shall wash them with the water.

5 And you shall take the garments, and you shall clothe Aaron—the tunic, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate—and you shall gird him with the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod.

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

7 And you shall take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.

8 And you shall bring his sons near, and put on them tunics.

9 And you shall gird them with sashes—Aaron and his sons—and tie on them the headbands; and the priesthood shall be theirs for an everlasting statute. And you shall fill the hand of Aaron and the hand of his sons.

10 And you shall bring near the bull before the face of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

11 And you shall slaughter the bull before the face of YHWH, by the door of the Tent of Meeting.

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

13 And you shall take all the fat that is covering the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and you shall burn them on the altar.

14 And the flesh of the bull, and its skin and its dung, you shall burn with the fire outside of the camp; it is a sin offering.

15 And the one ram you shall take, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

16 And you shall slaughter the ram, and you shall take its blood and sprinkle it on the altar all around.

17 And the ram you shall cut into its pieces, and you shall wash its entrails and its legs, and you shall put them on its pieces and on its head.

18 And you shall burn all the ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to YHWH, a pleasing aroma; it is a fire offering to YHWH.

19 And you shall take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

20 And you shall slaughter the ram, and you shall take from its blood and 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 hands, and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood on the altar all around.

21 And you shall take from the blood that is on the altar, and from the anointing oil, and sprinkle them on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he shall be holy, and his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

22 And you shall take from the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat that is covering the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of ordination),
