| 1"Now this is what you are to do for them to consecrate them so that they may minister as my priests. Take a young bull and two rams without blemish; | 1“This is the ceremony you must follow when you consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams with no defects. |
| 2and bread made without yeast, and perforated cakes without yeast mixed with oil, and wafers without yeast spread with oil--you are to make them using fine wheat flour. | 2Then, using choice wheat flour and no yeast, make loaves of bread, thin cakes mixed with olive oil, and wafers spread with oil. |
| 3You are to put them in one basket and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams. | 3Place them all in a single basket, and present them at the entrance of the Tabernacle, along with the young bull and the two rams. |
| 4"You are to present Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the tent of meeting. You are to wash them with water | 4“Present Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the Tabernacle, and wash them with water. |
| 5and take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastpiece; you are to fasten the ephod on him by using the skillfully woven waistband. | 5Dress Aaron in his priestly garments—the tunic, the robe worn with the ephod, the ephod itself, and the chestpiece. Then wrap the decorative sash of the ephod around him. |
| 6You are to put the turban on his head and put the holy diadem on the turban. | 6Place the turban on his head, and fasten the sacred medallion to the turban. |
| 7You are to take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him. | 7Then anoint him by pouring the anointing oil over his head. |
| 8You are to present his sons and clothe them with tunics | 8Next present his sons, and dress them in their tunics. |
| 9and wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and put headbands on them, and so the ministry of priesthood will belong to them by a perpetual ordinance. Thus you are to consecrate Aaron and his sons. | 9Wrap the sashes around the waists of Aaron and his sons, and put their special head coverings on them. Then the right to the priesthood will be theirs by law forever. In this way, you will ordain Aaron and his sons. |
| 10"You are to present the bull at the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons are to put their hands on the head of the bull. | 10“Bring the young bull to the entrance of the Tabernacle, where Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on its head. |
| 11You are to kill the bull before the LORD at the entrance to the tent of meeting | 11Then slaughter the bull in the LORD’s presence at the entrance of the Tabernacle. |
| 12and take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; all the rest of the blood you are to pour out at the base of the altar. | 12Put some of its blood on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour out the rest at the base of the altar. |

| 14But the meat of the bull, its skin, and its dung you are to burn up outside the camp. It is the purification offering. | 14Then take the rest of the bull, including its hide, meat, and dung, and burn it outside the camp as a sin offering. |
| 15"You are to take one ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the ram's head, | 15“Next Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the head of one of the rams. |
| 16and you are to kill the ram and take its blood and splash it all around on the altar. | 16Then slaughter the ram, and splatter its blood against all sides of the altar. |
| 17Then 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 | 17Cut the ram into pieces, and wash off the internal organs and the legs. Set them alongside the head and the other pieces of the body, |
| 18and burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the LORD, a soothing aroma; it is an offering made by fire to the LORD. | 18then burn the entire animal on the altar. This is a burnt offering to the LORD; it is a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the LORD. |
| 19"You are to take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the ram's head, | 19“Now take the other ram, and have Aaron and his sons lay their hands on its head. |
| 20and 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, and then splash the blood all around on the altar. | 20Then slaughter it, and apply some of its blood to the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons. Also put it on the thumbs of their right hands and the big toes of their right feet. Splatter the rest of the blood against all sides of the altar. |
| 21You are to take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him, so that he may be holy, he and his garments along with his sons and his sons' garments. | 21Then take some of the blood from the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his sons and on their garments. In this way, they and their garments will be set apart as holy. |
| 22"You are to take from the ram the fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and the right thigh--for it is the ram for consecration-- | 22“Since this is the ram for the ordination of Aaron and his sons, take the fat of the ram, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, along with the right thigh. |
| 23and 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. | 23Then take one round loaf of bread, one thin cake mixed with olive oil, and one wafer from the basket of bread without yeast that was placed in the LORD’s presence. |
| 24You are to put all these in Aaron's hands and in his sons' hands, and you are to wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. | 24Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons to be lifted up as a special offering to the LORD. |
| 25Then you are to take them from their hands and burn them on the altar for a burnt offering, for a soothing aroma before the LORD. It is an offering made by fire to the LORD. | 25Afterward take the various breads from their hands, and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering. It is a pleasing aroma to the LORD, a special gift for him. |
| 26You 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. | 26Then take the breast of Aaron’s ordination ram, and lift it up in the LORD’s presence as a special offering to him. Then keep it as your own portion. |
| 27You are to sanctify the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution, which were waved and lifted up as a contribution from the ram of consecration, from what belongs to Aaron and to his sons. | 27“Set aside the portions of the ordination ram that belong to Aaron and his sons. This includes the breast and the thigh that were lifted up before the LORD as a special offering. |
| 28It 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. | 28In the future, whenever the people of Israel lift up a peace offering, a portion of it must be set aside for Aaron and his descendants. This is their permanent right, and it is a sacred offering from the Israelites to the LORD. |
| 29"The holy garments that belong to Aaron are to belong to his sons after him, so that they may be anointed in them and consecrated in them. | 29“Aaron’s sacred garments must be preserved for his descendants who succeed him, and they will wear them when they are anointed and ordained. |
| 30The priest who succeeds him from his sons, when he first comes to the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place, is to wear them for seven days. | 30The descendant who succeeds him as high priest will wear these clothes for seven days as he ministers in the Tabernacle and the Holy Place. |
| 31"You are to take the ram of the consecration and cook its meat in a holy place. | 31“Take the ram used in the ordination ceremony, and boil its meat in a sacred place. |
| 32Aaron 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. | 32Then Aaron and his sons will eat this meat, along with the bread in the basket, at the Tabernacle entrance. |
| 33They are to eat those things by which atonement was made to consecrate and to set them apart, but no one else may eat them, for they are holy. | 33They alone may eat the meat and bread used for their purification in the ordination ceremony. No one else may eat them, for these things are set apart and holy. |
| 34If any of the meat from the consecration offerings or any of the bread is left over until morning, then you are to burn up what is left over. It must not be eaten, because it is holy. | 34If any of the ordination meat or bread remains until the morning, it must be burned. It may not be eaten, for it is holy. |
| 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 for seven days. | 35“This is how you will ordain Aaron and his sons to their offices, just as I have commanded you. The ordination ceremony will go on for seven days. |
| 36Every day you are to prepare a bull for a purification offering for atonement. You are to purge the altar by making atonement for it, and you are to anoint it to set it apart as holy. | 36Each day you must sacrifice a young bull as a sin offering to purify them, making them right with the LORD. Afterward, cleanse the altar by purifying it ; make it holy by anointing it with oil. |
| 37For seven days you are to make atonement for the altar and set it apart as holy. Then the altar will be most holy. Anything that touches the altar will be holy. | 37Purify the altar, and consecrate it every day for seven days. After that, the altar will be absolutely holy, and whatever touches it will become holy. |
| 38"Now this is what you are to prepare on the altar every day continually: two lambs a year old. | 38“These are the sacrifices you are to offer regularly on the altar. Each day, offer two lambs that are a year old, |
| 39The first lamb you are to prepare in the morning, and the second lamb you are to prepare around sundown. | 39one in the morning and the other in the evening. |
| 40With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil from pressed olives, and a fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering. | 40With one of them, offer two quarts of choice flour mixed with one quart of pure oil of pressed olives; also, offer one quart of wine as a liquid offering. |
| 41The second lamb you are to offer around sundown; you are to prepare for it the same meal offering as for the morning and the same drink offering, for a soothing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD. | 41Offer the other lamb in the evening, along with the same offerings of flour and wine as in the morning. It will be a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the LORD. |
| 42"This will be a regular burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the tent of meeting before the LORD, where I will meet with you to speak to you there. | 42“These burnt offerings are to be made each day from generation to generation. Offer them in the LORD’s presence at the Tabernacle entrance; there I will meet with you and speak with you. |
| 43There I will meet with the Israelites, and it will be set apart as holy by my glory. | 43I will meet the people of Israel there, in the place made holy by my glorious presence. |
| 44"So I will set apart as holy the tent of meeting and the altar, and I will set apart as holy Aaron and his sons, that they may minister as priests to me. | 44Yes, I will consecrate the Tabernacle and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. |
| 45I will reside among the Israelites, and I will be their God, | 45Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God, |
| 46and they will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, so that I may reside among them. I am the LORD their God. | 46and they will know that I am the LORD their God. I am the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the LORD their God. |
