29:1 1 “Now this is what 2 you are to do for them to consecrate them so that they may minister as my priests. Take a young 3 bull and two rams without blemish; 4 29:2 and 5 bread made without yeast, and perforated cakes without yeast mixed with oil, and wafers without yeast spread 6 with oil – you are to make them using 7 fine wheat flour. 29:3 You are to put them in one basket and present 8 them in the basket, along with 9 the bull and the two rams.
29:4 “You are to present 10 Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the tent of meeting. You are to wash 11 them with water 29:5 and take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, 12 the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastpiece; you are to fasten the ephod on him by using the skillfully woven waistband. 13 29:6 You are to put the turban on his head and put the holy diadem 14 on the turban. 29:7 You are to take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him. 15 29:8 You are to present his sons and clothe them with tunics 29:9 and wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons 16 and put headbands on them, and so the ministry of priesthood will belong to them by a perpetual ordinance. Thus you are to consecrate 17 Aaron and his sons.
29:10 “You are to present the bull at the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons are to put 18 their hands on the head 19 of the bull. 29:11 You are to kill the bull before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting 29:12 and take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar 20 with your finger; all the rest of 21 the blood you are to pour out at the base of the altar. 29:13 You are to take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the lobe 22 that is above the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them 23 on the altar. 29:14 But the meat of the bull, its skin, and its dung you are to burn up 24 outside the camp. 25 It is the purification offering. 26
29:15 “You are to take one ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the ram’s head, 29:16 and you are to kill the ram and take its blood and splash it all around on the altar. 29:17 Then you are to cut the ram into pieces and wash the entrails and its legs and put them on its pieces and on its head 29:18 and burn 27 the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering 28 to the Lord, a soothing aroma; it is an offering made by fire 29 to the Lord. 30
29:19 “You are to take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the ram’s head, 29:20 and you are to kill the ram and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, 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, 31 and then splash the blood all around on the altar. 29:21 You are to take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it 32 on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on his sons’ garments with him, so that he may be holy, 33 he and his garments along with his sons and his sons’ garments.
29:22 “You are to take from the ram the fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the lobe 34 of the liver, the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and the right thigh – for it is the ram for consecration 35 – 29:23 and one round flat cake of bread, one perforated cake of oiled bread, and one wafer from the basket of bread made without yeast that is before the Lord. 29:24 You are to put all these 36 in Aaron’s hands 37 and in his sons’ hands, and you are to wave them as a wave offering 38 before the Lord. 29:25 Then you are to take them from their hands and burn 39 them 40 on the altar for a burnt offering, for a soothing aroma before the Lord. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord. 29:26 You are to take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration; you are to wave it as a wave offering before the Lord, and it is to be your share. 29:27 You are to sanctify the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution, 41 which were waved and lifted up as a contribution from the ram of consecration, from what belongs to Aaron and to his sons. 29:28 It is to belong to Aaron and to his sons from the Israelites, by a perpetual ordinance, for it is a contribution. It is to be a contribution from the Israelites from their peace offerings, their contribution to the Lord.
29:29 “The holy garments that belong to Aaron are to belong to his sons after him, so that they may be anointed 42 in them and consecrated 43 in them. 29:30 The priest who succeeds him 44 from his sons, when he first comes 45 to the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place, is to wear them for seven days. 46
29:31 “You are to take the ram of the consecration and cook 47 its meat in a holy place. 48 29:32 Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that was in the basket at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 29:33 They are to eat those things by which atonement was made 49 to consecrate and to set them apart, but no one else 50 may eat them, for they are holy. 29:34 If any of the meat from the consecration offerings 51 or any of the bread is left over 52 until morning, then you are to burn up 53 what is left over. It must not be eaten, 54 because it is holy.
29:35 “Thus you are to do for Aaron and for his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; you are to consecrate them 55 for 56 seven days. 29:36 Every day you are to prepare a bull for a purification offering 57 for atonement. 58 You are to purge 59 the altar by making atonement 60 for it, and you are to anoint it to set it apart as holy.
