“1 And this [is] the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow
them, to minister unto me in the priest’s office: Take one young
bullock, and two rams without blemish, 2 And unleavened bread, and cakes
unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil:
[of] wheaten flour shalt thou make them. 3 And thou shalt put them into
one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two
rams. 4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water. 5 And
thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe
of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the
curious girdle of the ephod: 6 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his
head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre. 7 Then shalt thou take the
anointing oil, and pour [it] upon his head, and anoint him. 8 And thou
shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them. 9 And thou shalt gird
them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and
the priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou
shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons. 10 And thou shalt cause a bullock
to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and
his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock. 11 And thou
shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, [by] the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation. 12 And 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 blood beside the bottom of the altar. 13 And thou shalt take all the
fat that covereth the inwards, 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. 14 But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his
dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it [is] a sin
offering. 15 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall
put their hands upon the head of the ram. 16 And thou shalt slay the
ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle [it] round about upon
the altar. 17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards
of him, and his legs, and put [them] unto his pieces, and unto his head.
18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it [is] a burnt
offering unto the LORD: it [is] a sweet savour, an offering made by fire
unto the LORD. 19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his
sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. 20 Then 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 ear 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 round about. 21 And
thou shalt take of the blood that [is] upon the altar, and of the
anointing oil, and sprinkle [it] upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and
upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall
be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with
him. 22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the
fat that covereth the inwards, 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 consecration: 23 And 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: 24 And thou shalt put all in the hands
of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them [for] a wave
offering before the LORD. 25 And thou shalt receive them of their hands,
and burn [them] upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour
before the LORD: it [is] an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 26 And
thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration, and wave
it [for] a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part. 27
And thou shalt 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, [even] of [that] which [is] for Aaron,
and of [that] which is for his sons: 28 And it shall be Aaron’s and his
sons’ by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it [is] an
heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of
Israel 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 therein, and to be consecrated in them.
30 [And] that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven
days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister
in the holy [place]. 31 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration,
and seethe his flesh in the holy place. 32 And 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 congregation. 33 And they shall eat
those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate [and] to
sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat [thereof], because they
[are] holy. 34 And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the
bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with
fire: it shall not be eaten, because it [is] holy. 35 And thus shalt
thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all [things] which I
have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them. 36 And thou
shalt offer every day a bullock [for] a sin offering for atonement: and
thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it,
and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it. 37 Seven days thou shalt make
an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar
most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.”
“38 Now this [is that] which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two
lambs of the first year day by day continually. 39 The one lamb thou
shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth
part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine
[for] a drink offering. 41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even,
and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and
according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering
made by fire unto the LORD. 42 [This shall be] a continual burnt
offering throughout your generations [at] the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there
unto thee. 43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and
[the tabernacle] shall be sanctified by my glory. 44 And I will sanctify
the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also
both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest’s office. 45
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. 46
And 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 their God.” (Ex 29:1-46 AV)
