Exodus 29
29
1And thou shalt also do this, that they may be consecrated to me in priesthood. Take a calf from the herd, and two rams without blemish,
2And unleavened bread, and a cake without leaven, tempered with oil: wafers also unleavened, anointed with oil. Thou shalt make them all of wheaten flour.
3And thou shalt put them in a basket and offer them: and the calf and the two rams.
4And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. And when thou hast washed the father and his sons with water,
5Thou shalt clothe Aaron with his vestments: that is, with the linen garment and the tunick, and the ephod and the rational, which thou shalt gird with the girdle.
6And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and the holy plate upon the mitre,
7And thou shalt pour the oil of unction upon his head: and by this rite shall he be consecrated.
8Thou shalt bring his sons also: and shalt put on them the linen tunicks, and gird them with a girdle:
9To wit, Aaron and his children: and thou shalt put mitres upon them. And they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. After thou shalt have consecrated their hands,
10Thou shalt present also the calf before the tabernacle of the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon his head,
11And thou shalt kill him in the sight of the Lord, beside the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
12And taking some of the blood of the calf, thou shalt put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger: and the rest of the blood thou shalt pour at the bottom thereof.
13Thou shalt take also all the fat that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them: and shalt offer a burnt offering upon the altar.
14But the flesh of the calf and the hide and the dung thou shalt burn abroad, without the camp, because it is for sin.
15Thou shalt take also one ram; upon the head whereof Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.
16And when thou hast killed him, thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and pour round about the altar.
17And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and having washed his entrails and feet, thou shalt put them upon the flesh that is cut in pieces, and upon his head.
18And thou shalt offer the whole ram for a burnt offering upon the altar: it is an oblation to the Lord: a most sweet savour of the victim of the Lord.
19Thou shalt take also the other ram, upon whose head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.
20And when thou hast sacrificed him, thou shalt take of his blood, and put upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and of his sons, and upon the thumbs and great toes of their right hand and foot: and thou shalt pour the blood upon the altar round about.
21And when thou hast taken of the blood, that is upon the altar, and of the oil of unction, thou shalt sprinkle Aaron and his vesture, his sons and their vestments. And after they and their vestments are consecrated,
22Thou shalt take the fat of the ram, and the rump, and the fat that covereth the lungs, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder: because it is the ram of consecration.
23And one roll of bread, a cake tempered with oil, a wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread, which is set in the sight of the Lord.
24And thou shalt put all upon the hands of Aaron and of his sons: and shalt sanctify them elevating before the Lord.
25And thou shalt take all from their hands, and shalt burn them upon the altar for a holocaust: a most sweet savour in the sight of the Lord, because it is his oblation.
26Thou shalt take also the breast of the ram, wherewith Aaron was consecrated, and elevating it thou shalt sanctify it before the Lord: and it shall fall to thy share.
27And thou shalt sanctify both the consecrated breast, and the shoulder that thou didst separate of the ram,
28Wherewith Aaron was consecrated and his sons; and they shall fall to Aaron's share and his sons' by a perpetual right from the children of Israel: because they are the choicest and the beginnings of their peace-victims which they offer to the Lord.
29And the holy vesture, which Aaron shall use, his sons shall have after him: that they may be anointed, and their hands consecrated in it.
30He of his sons that shall be appointed high priest in his stead, and that shall enter into the tabernacle of the testimony to minister in the sanctuary, shall wear it seven days.
31And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration: and shalt boil the flesh thereof in the holy place:
32And Aaron and his sons shall eat it. The loaves also, that are in the basket, they shall eat in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony,
33That it may be an atoning sacrifice, and the hands of the offerers may be sanctified. A stranger shall not eat of them, because they are holy.
34And if there remain of the consecrated flesh, or of the bread till the morning, thou shalt burn the remainder with fire. They shall not be eaten, because they are sanctified.
35All that I have commanded thee thou shalt do unto Aaron and his sons. Seven days shalt thou consecrate their hands:
36And thou shalt offer a calf for sin every day for expiation: And thou shalt cleanse the altar when thou hast offered the victim of expiation, and shalt anoint it to sanctify it.
37Seven days shalt thou expiate the altar and sanctify it: and it shall be most holy. Every one that shall touch it shall be holy.
38This is what thou shalt sacrifice upon the altar: Two lambs of a year old, every day continually.
39One lamb in the morning and another in the evening.
40With one lamb a tenth part of flour tempered with beaten oil, of the fourth part of a hin: and wine for libation of the same measure.
41And the other lamb thou shalt offer in the evening, according to the rite of the morning oblation, and according to what we have said: for a savour of sweetness.
42It is a sacrifice to the Lord, by perpetual oblation unto your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord, where I will appoint to speak unto thee.
43And there will I command the children of Israel: and the altar shall be sanctified by my glory.
44I will sanctify also the tabernacle of the testimony with the altar, and Aaron with his sons, to do the office of priesthood unto me.
45And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will be their God:
46And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who have brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might abide among them: I the Lord their God.

Instructions about Consecration
1“This is what you are to do for them to consecrate them to serve me as priests. Take a young bull and two unblemished rams, 2with unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers coated with oil. Make them out of fine wheat flour,#Lv 2:4; 6:19–23 3put them in a basket, and bring them in the basket, along with the bull and two rams. 4Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water.#Ex 40:12; Lv 8:6; Heb 10:22 5Then take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe for the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastpiece; fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband.#Ex 28:2,8; Lv 8:7 6Put the turban on his head and place the holy diadem#Ex 28:36–37; Lv 8:9 on the turban. 7Take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint#Ex 30:25; Lv 8:12; 10:7; 21:10; Nm 35:25 him. 8You must also bring his sons and clothe them with tunics. 9Tie the sashes on Aaron and his sons and fasten headbands on them. The priesthood is to be theirs by a permanent statute. This is the way you will ordain Aaron and#29:9 Lit you will fill the hand of Aaron and the hand of; Ex 29:23–24 his sons.#Ex 28:41; Nm 18:7
10“You are to bring the bull to the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the bull’s head.#Lv 1:4; 8:14 11Slaughter the bull before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 12Take some of the bull’s blood and apply it to the horns#Ex 27:2; Lv 8:15 of the altar with your finger; then pour out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. 13Take all the fat#Lv 3:3–4 that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar. 14But burn the bull’s flesh, its hide, and its waste outside the camp;#Lv 4:11–12,21; Heb 13:11 it is a sin offering.
15“Take one ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the ram’s head.#Lv 1:4; 8:18 16You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and splatter it on all sides of the altar. 17Cut the ram into pieces. Wash its entrails and legs, and place them with its head and its pieces on the altar. 18Then burn the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a pleasing aroma,#Gn 8:21; Ex 29:25 a food offering to the Lord.
19“You are to take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the ram’s head.#Ex 29:3; Lv 8:22 20Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on his sons’ right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Splatter the remaining blood on all sides of the altar. 21Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil,#Ex 30:25,31; Heb 9:22 and sprinkle them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. So he and his garments will be holy, as well as his sons and their garments.
22“Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, and the right thigh (since this is a ram for ordination#29:22 The priest would normally receive the right thigh to be eaten, but here it is burned; Lv 7:32–34.); 23take one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord; 24and put all of them in the hands of Aaron and his#29:24 Lit in the hands of his sons and present them as a presentation offering before the Lord.#Lv 7:30; 8:22 25Take them from their hands and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma before the Lord; it is a food offering to the Lord.
26“Take the breast from the ram of Aaron’s ordination and present it as a presentation offering before the Lord; it is to be your portion.#Lv 7:3; 8:29 27Consecrate for Aaron and his sons#Lv 7:31,34; Nm 18:11,18; Dt 18:3 the breast of the presentation offering that is presented and the thigh of the contribution that is lifted up from the ram of ordination. 28This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites, for it is a contribution. It will be the Israelites’ contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, their contribution to the Lord.
29“The holy garments that belong to Aaron are to belong to his sons after him, so that they can be anointed and ordained#29:29 Lit him for anointing in them and for filling their hand in them.#Nm 18:8; 20:26,28 30Any priest who is one of his sons and who succeeds him and enters the tent of meeting to minister in the sanctuary must wear them for seven days.#Lv 8:35; Nm 20:28
31“You are to take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place. 32Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket at the entrance to the tent of meeting.#Lv 8:31; Mt 12:4 33They must eat those things by which atonement was made at the time of their ordination#29:33 Lit made to fill their hand and consecration. An unauthorized person must not eat#Lv 10:14–15,17; 22:10 them, for these things are holy. 34If any of the meat of ordination or any of the bread is left until morning, burn what is left over. It must not be eaten because it is holy.
35“This is what you are to do for Aaron and his sons based on all I have commanded you. Take seven days to ordain them. 36Sacrifice a bull as a sin offering each day for atonement. Purify#29:36 Or Make a sin offering on the altar when you make atonement for it, and anoint it in order to consecrate it.#Ex 40:10; Heb 10:11 37For seven days you must make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. The altar will be especially holy. Whatever touches the altar will be consecrated.#Ex 30:29; Mt 23:19
38“This is what you are to offer regularly on the altar every day: two year-old lambs.#Nm 28:3; 1Ch 16:40; Ezr 3:3; Dn 12:11 39In the morning offer one lamb, and at twilight offer the other lamb.#1Kg 18:29,36; 2Kg 16:15; Ezr 9:4–5; Ps 141:2; Ezk 46:13–15 40With the first lamb offer two quarts#29:40 Lit offer a tenth of fine flour mixed with one quart#29:40 Lit a fourth of a hin of oil from crushed olives, and a drink offering of one quart of wine. 41You are to offer the second lamb at twilight. Offer a grain offering and a drink offering with it, like the one in the morning, as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord. 42This will be a regular burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will meet you#29:42 = Moses to speak with you.#Ex 25:22; 30:8 43I will also meet with the Israelites there, and that place will be consecrated by my glory.#1Kg 8:11; 2Ch 5:14; Ezk 43:5; Hg 2:7,9 44I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar; I will also consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. 45I will dwell#Zch 2:10; Jn 14:17 among the Israelites and be their God.#Ex 25:8; Lv 26:12 46And they will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.#Ex 20:2
