Chapter 29
1 And you shall also do this, that they may be consecrated to me in priesthood. Take a calf from the herd, and two rams without blemish,
2 And unleavened bread, and a cake without leaven, tempered with oil, wafers also unleavened anointed with oil: you shall make them all of wheaten flour.
3 And you shall put them in a basket and offer them: and the calf and the two rams.
4 And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. And when you have washed the father and his sons with water,
5 You shall clothe Aaron with his vestments, that is, with the linen garment and the tunick, and the ephod and the rational, which you shall gird with the girdle.
6 And you shall put the mitre upon his head, and the holy plate upon the mitre,
7 And you shall pour the oil of unction upon his head: and by this rite shall he be consecrated.
8 You shall bring his sons also and shall put on them the linen tunicks, and gird them with a girdle:
9 To wit, Aaron and his children, and you shall put mitres upon them: and they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. After you shall have consecrated their hands,
10 You shall present also the calf before the tabernacle of the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon his head,
11 And you shall kill him in the sight of the Lord, beside the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
12 And taking some of the blood of the calf, you shall put it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, and the rest of the blood you shall pour at the bottom thereof.
13 You shall take also all the fat that covers the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shall offer a burnt offering upon the altar:
14 But the flesh of the calf and the hide and the dung, you shall burn abroad, without the camp, because it is for sin.
15 You shall take also one ram upon the head whereof Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.
16 And when you have killed him, you shall take of the blood thereof, and pour round about the altar:
17 And you shall cut the ram in pieces, and having washed his entrails and feet, you shall put them upon the flesh that is cut in pieces, and upon his head.
18 And you shall 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.
19 You shall take also the other ram, upon whose head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.
20 And when you have sacrificed him, you shall 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 you shall pour the blood upon the altar round about.
21 And when you have taken of the blood, that is upon the altar, and of the oil of unction, you shall sprinkle Aaron and his vesture, his sons and their vestments. And after they and their vestments are consecrated,
22 You shall take the fat of the ram, and the rump, and the fat that covers 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.
23 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.
24 And you shall put all upon the hands of Aaron and of his sons, and shall sanctify them elevating before the Lord.
25 And you shall take all from their hands, and shall burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, a most sweet savour in the sight of the Lord, because it is his oblation.
26 You shall take also the breast of the ram, wherewith Aaron was consecrated, and elevating it you shall sanctify it before the Lord, and it shall fall to your share.
27 And you shall sanctify both the consecrated breast, and the shoulder that you did separate of the ram,
28 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.
29 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.
30 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.
31 And you shall take the ram of the consecration, and shall boil the flesh thereof in the holy place:
32 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,
33 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.
34 And if there remain of the consecrated flash, or of the bread till the morning, you shall burn the remainder with fire: they shall not be eaten, because they are sanctified.
35 All that I have commanded you, you shall do unto Aaron and his sons. Seven days shall you consecrate their hands:
36 And you shall offer a calf for sin every day for expiation. And you shall cleanse the altar when you have offered the victim of expiation, and shall anoint it to sanctify it.
37 Seven days shall you expiate the altar and sanctify it, and it shall be most holy. Every one that shall touch it shall be holy.
38 This is what you shall sacrifice upon the altar: Two lambs of a year old every day continually.
39 One lamb in the morning and another in the evening.
40 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.
41 And the other lamb you shall offer in the evening, according to the rite of the morning oblation, and according to what we have said, for a savour of sweetness:
42 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 you.
43 And there will I command the children of Israel, and the altar shall be sanctified by my glory.
44 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.
45 And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will be their God:
46 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.
