Exodus 29
1¶ And this is what thou shalt do unto them to sanctify them that they shall be my priests: Take one young bullock and two perfect rams
2and unleavened bread and unleavened cakes tempered with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, which thou shalt make of wheat flour.
3And thou shalt put them into a basket and offer them in the basket with the bullock and the two rams.
4And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony and shalt wash them with water.
5And thou shalt take the garments and clothe Aaron with the coat and the robe of the ephod and the ephod and the pectoral and gird him with the special girdle of the ephod;
6and thou shalt put the mitre upon his head and put the crown of holiness upon the mitre.
7Then shalt thou take the anointing oil and pour it upon his head and anoint him.
8And thou shalt bring his sons and put coats upon them.
9And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and bind the tiaras on them; and the priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute; and thou shalt fill the hands Aaron and his sons.
10And thou shalt cause the bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the testimony, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.
11And thou shalt kill the bullock before the Lord by the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
12And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger and pour all the remaining blood beside the bottom of the altar.
13And thou shalt take all the fat that covers the intestines and the caul that is above the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is upon them and burn them upon the altar.
14But the flesh of the bullock and his skin and his dung shalt thou burn with fire outside the camp; it is sin.
15Thou shalt likewise take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
16And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
17And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces and wash his intestines and his legs and put them upon his pieces and upon his head.
18And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the Lord: it is a sweet savour, an offering on fire unto the Lord.
19And thou shalt take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
20Then shalt thou kill the ram and take of his blood and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and upon the tip of the right ears of his sons and upon the thumb of their right hands and upon the great toe of their right feet and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
21And thou shalt take of the blood that shall be upon the altar and of the anointing oil and sprinkle it upon Aaron and upon his garments and upon his sons and upon their garments, and he shall be sanctified, and his garments and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.
22Then thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the tail and the fat that covers the intestines and the caul above the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is upon them and the right shoulder, for it is a ram of consecrations,
23Also one large 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 thou shalt put all this in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons and shalt lift them up and wave them before the Lord.
25Then thou shalt take them from their hands and burn them upon the altar upon the burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the Lord. It is an offering on fire unto the Lord.
26And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of the consecrations, which is of Aaron and wave it for a waved offering before the Lord; and it shall be thy part.
27And thou shalt set apart the breast of the waved offering and the shoulder of the sanctification, that which was waved and that which was sanctified of the ram of the consecrations of Aaron and of his sons;
28and it shall be for Aaron and for his sons by a perpetual statute of the sons of Israel, for it is something set apart, and it shall be set apart of the sons of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings; it shall be something of theirs set apart unto the Lord.
29And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed with them and to be consecrated with them.
30 And for seven days the priest of his sons, who in his stead shall come into the tabernacle of the testimony, shall put them on to serve in the sanctuary.
31And thou shalt take the ram of the consecrations and cook his flesh in the holy place.
32And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket by the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
33And they shall eat those things with which they were reconciled, to fill their hands to be sanctified; but a stranger shall not eat thereof because they are holiness.
34And if any of the flesh of the consecrations or of the bread remains unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, because it is holiness.
35And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron and to his sons, according to all the things which I have commanded thee; for seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
36And thou shalt sacrifice a bullock every day for reconciliation of sin; and thou shalt remove the sin from the altar, and thou shalt anoint it to sanctify it.
37For seven days thou shalt reconcile the altar and sanctify it; and it shall be a most holy altar; whatever touches the altar shall be made holy.
38¶ Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs of the first year every day continually.
39The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shalt offer at evening.
40Moreover a tenth ephah of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil and the fourth part of a hin of wine with each lamb.
41And thou shalt offer the other lamb at evening, doing according to the present of the morning and according to its drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering on fire unto the Lord.
42This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your ages at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord, where I will concert with you, to speak there unto you.
43And there I will testify of myself unto the sons of Israel, and the place shall be sanctified with my glory.
44And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar; I will likewise sanctify both Aaron and his sons that they may be my priests.
45And I will dwell among the sons of Israel and shall be their God.
46And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them; I am the Lord your God.

Directions for Setting Apart the Priests
1“Here is what you must do to set apart Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. Get a young bull and two rams. They must not have any flaws. 2Get the finest wheat flour. Make round loaves of bread that do not have yeast in them. Make thick loaves of bread that do not have yeast in them. Mix olive oil into the thick loaves of bread. Also make thin loaves of bread that do not have yeast in them. Brush the thin loaves with olive oil. 3Put everything in a basket. Offer them along with the bull and the two rams. 4Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting. Wash them with water. 5Take the inner robe, the outer robe of the linen apron, the apron itself and the chest cloth. Dress Aaron in them. Take the skillfully made waistband and tie the apron on him with it. 6Put the turban on his head. Connect the sacred plate to the turban. 7Take the anointing oil and pour it on his head. 8Bring his sons and dress them in their inner robes. 9Put caps on their heads. Tie belts on Aaron and his sons. The work of the priests belongs to them. This is my law that will last for all time to come.
“Then you must prepare Aaron and his sons to serve me.
10“Bring the bull to the front of the tent of meeting. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on its head. 11Kill it in front of the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 12Dip your finger into some of the bull’s blood. Put it on the horns that stick out from the upper four corners of the altar. Pour the rest of it out at the base of the altar. 13Then take all the fat on the inside parts. Take the long part of the liver. Get both kidneys with the fat on them. And burn all of it on the altar. 14But burn the bull’s meat, hide and guts outside the camp. It is a sin offering.
15“Get one of the rams. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on its head. 16Kill it. Take the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar. 17Cut the ram into pieces. Wash the inside parts and the legs. Put them with the head and the other pieces. 18Then burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to me. It has a pleasant smell. It is a food offering presented to the Lord.
19“Get the other ram. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on its head. 20Kill it. Put some of its blood on the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons. Put some on the thumbs of their right hands. Also put some on the big toes of their right feet. Then splash the blood against the sides of the altar. 21Get some of the blood from the altar. Also get some of the anointing oil. Sprinkle both of them on Aaron and his clothes and on his sons and their clothes. Then he and his sons and their clothes will be set apart to serve the Lord.
22“Here is what you must take from this second ram. Take the fat, the fat tail and the fat around the inside parts. Take the long part of the liver. Also take both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh. It is the ram you must use when you prepare the priests to serve the Lord. 23Get one round loaf of bread and one thick loaf of bread with olive oil mixed in. Also get one thin loaf of bread. Take them from the basket of bread made without yeast. It is the one in front of the Lord. 24Put all these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons. Tell them to lift them up and wave them in front of the Lord as a wave offering. 25Then take all these things from their hands. Burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering. Its smell pleases the Lord. It is a food offering presented to the Lord. 26Get the breast of the ram used when you prepare Aaron to serve the Lord. Wave it in front of the Lord as a wave offering. It will be your share of the meat.
27“Here are the parts of the second ram that belong to Aaron and his sons. You must set apart the breast that was waved and the thigh that was offered. 28It will be the regular share from the Israelites for Aaron and his sons. The people must give it to the Lord from their friendship offerings.
29“Aaron’s sacred clothes will belong to his sons who will come after him. Then they can wear them when you anoint them and prepare them to serve the Lord. 30The son who comes after Aaron as priest must wear them seven days. He will come and serve in the Holy Room in the tent of meeting.
31“Get the ram sacrificed when you prepare Aaron and his sons to serve the Lord. Cook the meat in a sacred place. 32Aaron and his sons must eat the ram’s meat. And they must eat the bread in the basket. They must eat all of it at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 33These are the offerings to pay for their sins. They must eat them. The offerings must be made when Aaron and his sons are set apart and prepared to serve the Lord. No one else can eat them. They are sacred. 34When you prepare Aaron and his sons to serve me, you will sacrifice the ram and the bread. If any parts of the ram or bread are left until morning, burn them up. They must not be eaten. They are sacred.
35“Do everything I have commanded you to do for Aaron and his sons. Take seven days when you prepare them to serve the Lord. 36Sacrifice a bull each day. It is a sin offering to pay for their sins. Make the altar pure. Pour olive oil on it to set it apart. 37Take seven days to make the altar pure. Set it apart. Then the altar will be a very holy place. Anything that touches it will be holy.
38“Every day sacrifice on the altar two lambs that are a year old. 39Sacrifice one in the morning and the other one when the sun goes down. 40Along with the first lamb, offer three and a half pounds of fine flour. Mix it with a quart of oil made from pressed olives. Along with that, sacrifice a quart of wine as a drink offering. 41Sacrifice the other lamb when the sun goes down. Sacrifice it along with the same grain offering and its drink offering as you do in the morning. It has a pleasant smell. It is a food offering presented to the Lord.
42“For all time to come, this burnt offering must be sacrificed regularly. Sacrifice it at the entrance to the tent of meeting in front of the Lord. There I will meet with you and speak to you. 43There I will also meet with the people of Israel. My glory will make the place holy.
44“So I will set apart the tent of meeting and the altar. And I will set apart Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. 45Then I will live among the people of Israel. And I will be their God. 46They will know that I am the Lord their God. They will know that I brought them out of Egypt so I could live among them. I am the Lord their God.
