Exodus 29

2and unleavened bread tempered with oil and unleavened cakes anointed with oil.

3These thou shalt make of fine wheaten flour and put them in one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the young bull and the two rams.

5Then taking the robes thou shalt put on Aaron thy brother the robe reaching down to the feet, and the ephod, and the oracle; and thou shalt fasten for him the oracle to the ephod.

6Then thou shalt put the mitre on his head and fasten the plate Holiness to the mitre.

7And thou shalt take some of the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.

9and gird them with girdles and put the tiaras on them. And the office of serving Me as priests shall be theirs forever. Then thou shalt consecrate the hands of Aaron, and the hands of his sons—

10for this purpose thou shalt bring the young bull to the doors of the tabernacle of the testimony and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the young bull before the Lord at the doors of the tabernacle of the testimony.

12and thou shalt take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with thy finger; and all the rest of the blood thou shalt pour out at the base of the altar.

13And thou shalt take the whole caul which covereth the belly and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with the suet on them; and lay them on the altar:

14but the flesh of the bull and the hide and the excrements thou shalt burn with fire without the camp: for it is a sin offering.

16and thou shalt slay it; and taking the blood thou shalt pour it around the altar.

17Then thou shalt cut the ram in pieces according to its members and thou shalt wash the entrails and the feet with water and lay them on the pieces with the head,

18and thou shalt carry up this whole ram on the altar for a whole burnt offering to the Lord, for a sweet savour. It is a burnt offering to the Lord.

20and thou shalt kill it; and thou shalt take some of its blood and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot; and on the tip of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the great toes of their right feet:

21and thou shalt take some of the blood from the altar, and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it upon Aaron and his raiment, and upon his sons and their raiment. So shall he and his raiment be hallowed; and his sons and their raiment with him.

22But the blood of this ram thou shalt pour against the altar round about. And thou shalt take from this ram the fat tail, and the caul which covereth the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the suet on them, and the right shoulder (for this is a consecration offering)

23and one loaf of oil bread, and one cake out of the basket of unleavened cakes which were laid before the Lord;

24and thou shalt lay all these upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and set them apart as a dedication before the Lord.

26And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration and set it apart as a dedication before the Lord, and thou shalt have it for a portion.

27And thou shalt hallow this breast dedication and the shoulder dedication which was set apart and taken from the ram of consecration on account of Aaron and his sons;

28and they shall belong to Aaron and his sons by an everlasting statute from the Israelites. For this is a dedication and it shall be a portion taken from the Israelites, from the burnt offerings of thanksgiving of the children of Israel—a portion set apart for the Lord.

30The priest—that one of his sons who is to succeed him and come into the tabernacle of the testimony to minister in the Holies shall put them on seven days.

32and Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of this ram and the bread which is in the basket. At the doors of the tabernacle of testimony

33they shall eat those meats, with which they were hallowed to consecrate their hands with them, to hallow themselves. None of another family shall eat of them, for they are holy.

34And if any of the flesh of the consecration sacrifice or of the bread be left till the morning, thou shalt burn what remaineth with fire. It shall not be eaten; for it is a dedication.

36thou shalt offer on the day of the purification a young bull for a sin offering, and thou shalt purify the altar, when thou consecratest upon it, and anoint it so as to hallow it.

37Seven days thou shalt purify the altar and hallow it, so shall the altar be most holy. Whoever toucheth it shall be hallowed.

38Now these are what thou shalt offer on the altar—

39two yearling lambs without blemish every day on the altar continually, an offering of homage without intermission;

40the one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning with a tenth of fine flour tempered with a quarter of a hin of expressed oil; and for a libation a quarter of a hin of wine for the first lamb:

41and the other lamb thou shalt offer in the evening with the same cake offering and the same libation as in the morning. For a smell of fragrance—as an offering of homage to the Lord,

42thou shalt offer this continual sacrifice throughout your generations, at the doors of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord in the places where I shall make Myself known to thee so as to speak to thee.

43And there I will issue orders to the children of Israel and be hallowed by My glory.

44And I will hallow the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar; and I will hallow Aaron and his sons to minister to Me in the priest’s office;

45and I will be invoked by the children of Israel and will be their God.

46And they shall know that I am the Lord their God who brought them out of Egypt to be invoked by them and to be their God.
