Shemot 29
29
1And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to set them apart as kodesh, to minister unto Me in the kohenʼs office: Take one bull calf, and two rams temimim (without blemish),
2And lechem matzot, and challot matzot mixed with shemen, and wafers matzot smeared with shemen; of fine wheat flour shalt thou make them.
3Thou shalt put them into sal echad (one basket); bring them near in the sal, with the bull and the two rams.
4And Aharon and his banim thou shalt bring unto the petach of the Ohel Mo'ed, and shalt immerse them with mayim.
5And thou shalt take the begadim, and put upon Aharon the kesones,#29:5 See Jn 19:23; Ps 110:4 and the Me'il HaEphod, and the Ephod, and the Choshen, and gird him with the Cheishev HaEphod;
6And thou shalt put the Mitznefet upon his head, and put the Nezer HaKodesh upon the Mitznefet.
7Then shalt thou take the Shemen HaMishchah, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
8And thou shalt bring near his banim, and put kuttanot upon them.
9And thou shalt gird them with Avnet, Aharon and his banim, and put the migba'ot on them; and the Kehunnah shall be theirs for a chukkat olam; and thou shalt ordain#29:9 i.e. fill their hands (invest them with authority as ministers) Aharon and his banim.
10And thou shalt cause a bull to be brought before the Ohel Mo'ed; Aharon and his banim shall put their hands upon the head of the bull.
11And thou shalt slaughter (shachat) the bull before Hashem, by the petach of the Ohel Mo'ed.
12And thou shalt take of the dahm of the bull, and put it upon the karnot of the Mizbe'ach with thy finger, and pour all the dahm on the yesod (base) of the Mizbe'ach.
13And thou shalt take all the chelev that covereth the innards, and the diaphragm with the liver, and the two kidneys, and the chelev that is upon them, and burn them upon the Mizbe'ach.
14But the basar of the bull, and his hide, and his dung, shalt thou burn with eish outside the machaneh; it is a chattat.
15Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aharon and his banim shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
16And thou shalt slaughter the ram, and thou shalt take his dahm, and sprinkle it around upon the Mizbe'ach.#29:16 See Isa 52:15 on Moshiachʼs sprinkling of the Goyim
17And thou shalt cut the ayil (ram) into pieces, and wash the innards of him, and his legs, and put them with his pieces, and his head.
18And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the Mizbe'ach: it is an olah unto Hashem: it is a re'ach hannichoach,#29:18 See Pp 4:18 an offering made by eish unto Hashem.
19And thou shalt take the other ayil; and Aharon and his banim shall lay their hands upon the head of the ayil.
20Then shalt thou slaughter (shachat) the ayil, and take of his dahm, and put it upon the lobe of the right ear of Aharon, and upon the lobe of the right ear of his banim, and upon the thumb of their right yad, and upon the bohen of their right foot, and sprinkle the dahm upon the Mizbe'ach, all around.
21And thou shalt take of the dahm that is upon the Mizbe'ach, and of the shemen hamishchah, and sprinkle it upon Aharon, upon his garments, upon his banim, upon the garments of his banim with him; he shall be set apart as kodesh, and his garments, his banim, his banimʼs garments with him.
22Also thou shalt take of the ram the chelev and the tail, and the fat that covereth the innards, and the diaphragm with the liver, and the two kidneys, and the chelev that is on them, and the right thigh; for it is an ayil millu'im (ram of ordination);
23And one kekar lechem (loaf of bread), and one challah of lechem shemen (oily loaf of bread), and one wafer out of the basket of the matzot that is before Hashem;
24And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aharon, and in the hands of his banim; and shalt wave them for a tenufah before Hashem.
25And thou shalt take them from their hands, and burn them upon the Mizbe'ach for an olah, for a re'ach hannichoach#29:25 See Pp 4:18 before Hashem: it is an offering made by eish unto Hashem.
26And thou shalt take the breast of the ayil hamillu'im (ram of ordination) for Aharon, and wave it for a tenufah before Hashem; and it shall be thy portion.
27And thou shalt set apart as kodesh the breast of the tenufah, and the thigh of the terumah, which is waved, and which is raised up, of the ayil hamillu'im, even of that which is for Aharon, and of that which is for his banim;
28And it shall be Aharonʼs and his banimʼs by a chok olam from the Bnei Yisroel; for it is a terumah; and it shall be a terumah from the Bnei Yisroel of the zivkhei shelemim of them, even their terumah unto Hashem.
29And the Bigdei Hakodesh of Aharon shall be his banimʼs after him, to be anointed therein, and to be ordained in them.
30And that ben that is kohen in his succession shall put them on shivat yamim, when he cometh into the Ohel Mo'ed to minister in HaKodesh.
31And thou shalt take the ayil hamillu'im, and cook his basar in the Makom Kodesh.
32And Aharon and his banim shall eat the basar of the ayil, and the lechem that is in the sal petach Ohel Mo'ed.
33And they shall eat those things wherewith the kapporah was made, to ordain and to set them apart as kodesh; but a zar shall not eat thereof, because they are kodesh.
34And if anything remains of the basar of the millu'im, or of the lechem, unto the boker, then thou shalt burn the remainder with eish; it shall not be eaten, because it is kodesh.
35And thus shalt thou do unto Aharon, and to his banim, according to all things which I have commanded thee; shivat yamim shalt thou ordain them.
36And thou shalt offer every day the bull of the chattat for kippurim (blood atonements); and thou shalt purify the Mizbe'ach, when thou hast made a kapporah for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to set it apart as kodesh.
37Shivat yamim thou shalt make a kapporah for the Mizbe'ach, and set it apart as kodesh; and it shall be a Mizbe'ach kodesh kodashim; whatsoever toucheth the Mizbe'ach shall be kodesh.
38Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the Mizbe'ach: two kevasim (lambs) of the first year each day tamid (continually).
39The one lamb thou shalt offer in the boker; and the other lamb thou shalt offer in the afternoon;
40And with the one lamb a tenth ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of pressed shemen; and the fourth part of a hin of yayin for a nesekh (drink offering).#29:40 See Pp 2:17
41And the other lamb thou shalt offer in the afternoon, and shalt do thereto according to the minchah of the boker, and according to the nesekh thereof, for a re'ach hannichoach,#29:41 See Pp 4:18 an offering made by eish unto Hashem.
42This shall be an olat tamid throughout your dorot at the petach of the Ohel Mo'ed before Hashem; where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.
43And there I will meet by appointment with the Bnei Yisroel, and it shall be set apart as kodesh by My Kavod.
44And I will set apart as kodesh the Ohel Mo'ed, and the Mizbe'ach; and I will set apart as kodesh also both Aharon and his banim, to minister to Me in the kohenʼs office.
45And I will dwell among the Bnei Yisroel, and will be their Elohim.
46And they shall have da'as that I am Hashem Eloheihem, Who brought them forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim, to rest My#29:46 Shekhinah dwelling among them; I am Hashem Eloheihem.

Exodus 29

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.
