1“And this is what you shall do to consecrate them, to minister unto Me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish, 2And from the finest unleavened wheat flour, make unleavened bread, and cakes, tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers, anointed with oil. 3And put them into one basket, and present them in that basket, with the bullock and the two rams. 4Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting, and wash them with water. 5And take the garments, and dress Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and wrap him with the beautifully woven sash of the ephod: 6And put the miter on his head, and attach the holy crown to the miter. 7Then take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him. 8And then bring his sons, and put tunics on them. 9And tie the sashes around each of them, both Aaron and his sons, and put the miters on them. Then the right to the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute. In this manner, you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons. 10“And you shall bring the bullock before the tabernacle of meeting; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock. 11And you shall kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 12And you shall take the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour all the remaining blood beside the bottom of the altar. 13And you shall take all the fat that covers the internal organs - the fat that is above the liver, the two kidneys, and that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar. 14But the flesh of the bullock, his skin, and his dung, you shall burn with fire outside the camp: it is a sin offering. 15“You shall also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. 16And you shall slay the ram, and you shall take his blood, and sprinkle it about the altar. 17And you shall cut the ram in pieces, and wash his internal organs, and his legs, and put those pieces with his head. 18And you shall burn the whole ram upon the altar; it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 19“And you shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. 20Then you shall kill that ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and 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 around it. 21And you shall take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, upon his sons, and upon their garments: and he, his garments, his sons, and his sons' garments with him shall be hallowed. 22Also you shall take the fat and the rump, the fat that covers the inwards, the fat above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder of the ram; for it is a ram for consecration (ordination): 23And take one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD: 24And you shall put all these things in the hands of Aaron, and his sons; and shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. 25And you shall receive them from their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 26And you shall take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration (ordination), and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be your share. 27And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons: 28And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' share by a statute forever from the Israelites; for it is a heave offering: and it shall be a heave offering from the Israelites of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD. 29“And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed and to be consecrated in them. 30And the son that is priest in his stead shall wear them for seven days, when he comes into the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the holy place. 31And you shall take the ram of the consecration, and boil his flesh in the holy place. 32And Aaron and his sons shall eat the meat of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 33And they shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; but a stranger shall not eat any of it, because they are holy. 34And if any of the meat of the consecrations, or of the bread, remains until morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy. 35“And you shall do this for Aaron, and his sons, according to all that I have commanded you: taking seven days to consecrate them. 36You shall offer a bullock each day for a sin offering to make atonement; and you shall purify the altar by making atonement for it, and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it. 37Seven days you shall make an atonement for the altar, and consecrate it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatever touches the altar shall be holy. 38“Now this is what you shall offer upon the altar each day: two lambs of the first year. 39Offer one lamb in the morning; and the other lamb at twilight. 40With the one lamb, a tenth part of flour mixed with a fourth part of a hin of beaten oil; and a fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering. 41The other lamb you shall offer as a sacrifice at evening, with the same meal offering and drink offering as in the morning, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 42This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you. 43And there I will also meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by My glory. 44And I will sanctify the tabernacle of meeting, and the altar; I will also sanctify Aaron and his sons, to minister to Me in the priest's office. 45And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. 46And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, Who brought them out of Egypt, so that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.
