1"This is what you must do to set them apart, so that they may serve me as priests: Take one young bull and two rams without any flaw,"
2"and bread made without yeast, and cakes without yeast mixed with oil, and thin wafers without yeast spread with oil. Make them of fine wheat flour."
3"Put them all into one basket, and bring them in the basket, together with the bull and the two rams."
4"Bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water."
5"Take the garments, and put the coat on Aaron, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate. Tie the finely woven band of the ephod around him."
6"Put the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban."
7"Then take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him."
8"Bring his sons, and put coats on them."
9"Tie sashes around them, both Aaron and his sons, and put the caps on them. The work of the priest shall be theirs by a law that lasts for ever. So you shall set Aaron and his sons apart for me."
10"Have the bull brought in front of the tabernacle of the congregation, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the bull's head."
11"Then kill the bull before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
12"Take some of the bull's blood and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger. Pour out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar."
13"Take all the fat that covers the inner parts, and the covering above the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar."
14"But the meat of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you must burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering."
15"You shall also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the ram's head."
16"Kill the ram, take its blood, and sprinkle it all around on the altar."
17"Cut the ram into pieces, wash its inner parts and its legs, and put them with its pieces and with its head."
18"Burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the LORD. It is a pleasing smell, an offering made by fire to the LORD."
19"Then take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the ram's head."
20"Then kill the ram, and take some of its blood. Put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the tips of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then sprinkle the blood all around on the altar."
21"Take some of the blood that is on the altar, and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons and on their garments with him. So he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him."
22"Take also from the ram the fat and the fat tail, and the fat that covers the inner parts, and the covering above the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the right shoulder. For it is the ram used to set them apart as priests."
23"Take also one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of bread without yeast that is before the LORD."
24"Put all of it in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD."
25"Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar as a burnt offering, for a pleasing smell before the LORD. It is an offering made by fire to the LORD."
26"Take the breast of the ram used to set Aaron apart, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD. It shall be your share."
27"You shall make holy the breast of the wave offering and the shoulder of the heave offering, which are waved and lifted up from the ram used to set them apart, the part for Aaron and the part for his sons."
28"It shall belong to Aaron and his sons by a law that lasts for ever, given by the children of Israel. For it is a heave offering. It shall be a heave offering from the children of Israel, taken from the sacrifice of their peace offerings, their heave offering to the LORD."
29"The holy garments of Aaron shall belong to his sons after him. They shall be anointed in them and set apart as priests in them."
30"The son who becomes priest in his place shall wear them seven days, when he comes into the tabernacle of the congregation to serve in the holy place."
31"Take the ram used to set them apart, and boil its meat in a holy place."
32"Aaron and his sons shall eat the meat of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
33"They shall eat the things by which atonement was made, to set them apart and make them holy. But a stranger must not eat them, because they are holy."
34"If any of the meat of the setting apart, or any of the bread, is left until the morning, you shall burn what is left with fire. It must not be eaten, because it is holy."
35"This is what you shall do for Aaron and his sons, just as I have commanded you. For seven days you shall set them apart."
36"Every day you shall offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement. You shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to make it holy."
37"For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and make it holy. Then the altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the altar shall be holy."
38"This is what you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old, day by day, without ever stopping."
39"You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb in the evening."
40"With the one lamb offer a tenth part of fine flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of beaten oil, and a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering."
41"The other lamb you shall offer in the evening. Do with it as you did with the grain offering and the drink offering of the morning, for a pleasing smell, an offering made by fire to the LORD."
42"This shall be a burnt offering offered without ceasing, through all your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD. There I will meet you, to speak with you there."
43"There I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be made holy by my glory."
44"I will make the tabernacle of the congregation holy, and the altar. I will also make Aaron and his sons holy, to serve me as priests."
45"I will live among the children of Israel, and I will be their God."
46"They shall know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I might live among them. I am the LORD their God."
