Aaron and His Sons Consecrated
1“And this is what you shall do to them to hallow them for ministering to Me as priests: #Lev. 8; (Heb. 7:26–28)Take one young bull and two rams without blemish, 2and #Lev. 2:4; 6:19–23unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil (you shall make them of wheat flour). 3You shall put them in one basket and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.
4“And Aaron and his sons you shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, #Ex. 40:12; Lev. 8:6; (Heb. 10:22)and you shall wash them with water. 5#Ex. 28:2; Lev. 8:7Then you shall take the garments, put the tunic on Aaron, and the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the #Ex. 28:8intricately woven band of the ephod. 6#Ex. 28:36, 37; Lev. 8:9You shall put the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban. 7And you shall take the anointing #Ex. 25:6; 30:25–31; Lev. 8:12; 10:7; 21:10; Num. 35:25; Ps. 133:2oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him. 8Then #Ex. 28:39, 40; Lev. 8:13you shall bring his sons and put tunics on them. 9And you shall gird them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and put the hats on them. #Ex. 40:15; Num. 3:10; 18:7; 25:13; Deut. 18:5The priesthood shall be theirs for a perpetual statute. So you shall #Ex. 28:41; Lev. 8consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10“You shall also have the bull brought before the tabernacle of meeting, and #Lev. 1:4; 8:14Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bull. 11Then you shall kill the bull before the Lord, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 12You shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on #Lev. 8:15the horns of the altar with your finger, and #Ex. 27:2; 30:2; Lev. 4:7pour all the blood beside the base of the altar. 13And #Lev. 1:8; 3:3, 4you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar. 14But #Lev. 4:11, 12, 21; Heb. 13:11the flesh of the bull, with its skin and its offal, you shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering.
15#Lev. 8:18“You shall also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall #Lev. 1:4–9put their hands on the head of the ram; 16and you shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood and #Ex. 24:6; Lev. 1:5, 11sprinkle it all around on the altar. 17Then you shall cut the ram in pieces, wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with its pieces and with its head. 18And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a #Ex. 20:24burnt offering to the Lord; it is a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
19#Lev. 8:22“You shall also take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram. 20Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of 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, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar. 21And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar, and some of #Ex. 30:25, 31; Lev. 8:30the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, on his sons and on the garments of his sons with him; and #Ex. 28:41; 29:1; (Heb. 9:22)he and his garments shall be hallowed, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.
22“Also you shall take the fat of the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration), 23#Lev. 8:26one loaf of bread, one cake made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord; 24and you shall put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons, and you shall #Lev. 7:30; 10:14wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. 25#Lev. 8:28You shall receive them back from their hands and burn them on the altar as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma before the Lord. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.
26“Then you shall take #Lev. 7:31, 34; 8:29the breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be your portion. 27And from the ram of the consecration you shall consecrate #Lev. 7:31, 34; Num. 18:11, 18; Deut. 18:3the breast of the wave offering which is waved, and the thigh of the heave offering which is raised, of that which is for Aaron and of that which is for his sons. 28It shall be from the children of Israel for Aaron and his sons #Lev. 10:15by a statute forever. For it is a heave offering; #Lev. 3:1; 7:34it shall be a heave offering from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, that is, their heave offering to the Lord.
29“And the #Ex. 28:2holy garments of Aaron #Num. 20:26, 28shall be his sons’ after him, #Ex. 28:41; 30:30; Num. 18:8to be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them. 30#Num. 20:28That son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on for #Lev. 8:35seven days, when he enters the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the holy place.
31“And you shall take the ram of the consecration and #Lev. 8:31boil its flesh in the holy place. 32Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the #Matt. 12:4bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 33#Lev. 10:14, 15, 17They shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; #Ex. 12:43; Lev. 22:10but an outsider shall not eat them, because they are holy. 34And if any of the flesh of the consecration offerings, or of the bread, remains until the morning, then #Ex. 12:10; 23:18; 34:25; Lev. 7:18; 8:32you shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
35“Thus you shall do to Aaron and his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. #Lev. 8:33–35Seven days you shall consecrate them. 36And you #Heb. 10:11shall offer a bull every day as a sin offering for atonement. #Ex. 30:26–29; 40:10, 11You shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to sanctify it. 37Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and sanctify it. And the altar shall be most holy. #Num. 4:15; Hag. 2:11–13; Matt. 23:19Whatever touches the altar must be holy.
The Daily Offerings
38“Now this is what you shall offer on the altar: #Num. 28:3–31; 29:6–38; 1 Chr. 16:40; Ezra 3:3two lambs of the first year, #Dan. 12:11day by day continually. 39One lamb you shall offer #Ezek. 46:13–15in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight. 40With the one lamb shall be one-tenth of an ephah of flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil, and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering. 41And the other lamb you shall #1 Kin. 18:29, 36; 2 Kin. 16:15; Ezra 9:4, 5; Ps. 141:2offer at twilight; and you shall offer with it the grain offering and the drink offering, as in the morning, for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord. 42This shall be #Ex. 30:8a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, #Ex. 25:22; 33:7, 9; Num. 17:4where I will meet you to speak with you. 43And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle #Ex. 40:34; 1 Kin. 8:11; 2 Chr. 5:14; Ezek. 43:5; Hag. 2:7, 9shall be sanctified by My glory. 44So I will consecrate the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. I will also #Lev. 21:15consecrate both Aaron and his sons to minister to Me as priests. 45#Ex. 25:8; Lev. 26:12; Num. 5:3; Deut. 12:11; Zech. 2:10; (John 14:17, 23; Rev. 21:3)I will dwell among the children of Israel and will #Gen. 17:8; Lev. 11:45be their God. 46And they shall know that #Ex. 16:12; 20:2; Deut. 4:35I am the Lord their God, who #Lev. 11:45brought them up out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them. I am the Lord their 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.
