Exodus 29
And 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,
And unleavened bread, and a cake without leaven, tempered
with oil, wafers also unleavened anointed with oil:
thou shalt make them all of wheaten flour.
And thou shalt put them in a basket and offer them:
and the calf and the two rams.
And 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,
Thou 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.
And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and the
holy plate upon the mitre,
And thou shalt pour the oil of unction upon his head:
and by this rite shall he be consecrated.
Thou shalt bring his sons also and shalt put on them
the linen tunicks, and gird them with a girdle:
To 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,
Thou shalt present also the calf before the tabernacle
of the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their
hands upon his head,
And thou shalt kill him in the sight of the Lord, beside
the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
And 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.
Thou 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:
But the flesh of the calf and the hide and the dung,
thou shalt burn abroad, without the camp, because it
is for sin.
Thou shalt take also one ram upon the head whereof Aaron
and his sons shall lay their hands.
And when thou hast killed him, thou shalt take of the
blood thereof, and pour round about the altar:
And 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.
And 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.
Thou shalt take also the other ram, upon whose head
Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.
And 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.
And 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,
Thou 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.
And 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.
And thou shalt put all upon the hands of Aaron and of
his sons, and shalt sanctify them elevating before the
Lord.
And 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.
Thou 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.
And thou shalt sanctify both the consecrated breast,
and the shoulder that thou didst separate of the ram,
Wherewith Aaron was consecrated and his sons, and they
shall fall to Aarons 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.
And the holy vesture, which Aaron shall use, his sons
shall have after him, that they may be anointed, and
their hands consecrated to it.
He 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.
And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and
shalt boil the flesh thereof in the holy place:
And 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,
That 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.
And if there remain of the consecrated flash, or of
the bread till the morning, thou shalt burn the remainder
with fire: they shall not be eaten, because they are
sanctified.
All that I have commanded thee, thou shalt do unto Aaron
and his sons. Seven days shalt thou consecrate their
hands:
And 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.
Seven days shalt thou expiate the altar and sanctify
it, and it shall be most holy. Every one that shall
touch it shall be holy.
This is what thou shalt sacrifice upon the altar: Two
lambs of a year old every day continually.
One lamb in the morning and another in the evening.
With 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.
And 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:
It 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.
And there will I command the children of Israel, and
the altar shall be sanctified by my glory.
I will sanctify also the tabernacle of the testimony
with the altar, and Aaron with his sons, to do the office
of priesthood unto me.
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel,
and will be their God:
And 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. |
