(Leviticus 8:1–13)

1“Now thisH2088H1697 is whatH834 you are to doH6213 to consecrateH6942 Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priestsH3547: TakeH3947 aH259 youngH1121H1241 bullH6499 and twoH8147 ramsH352 without blemishH8549, 2along with unleavenedH4682 breadH3899, unleavenedH4682 cakesH2471 mixedH1101 with oilH8081, and unleavenedH4682 wafersH7550 anointedH4886 with oilH8081. MakeH6213 themH853 out of fine wheatH2406 flourH5560, 3putH5414 themH853 inH5921 aH259 basketH5536, and presentH7126 themH853 in the basketH5536H854, along with the bullH6499 and the twoH8147 ramsH352.

4ThenH853 presentH7126 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 atH413 the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 and washH7364 themH853 with waterH4325. 5TakeH3947 the garmentsH899 and clotheH3847 AaronH175 with the tunicH3801, the robeH4598 of the ephodH646, the ephod itselfH646, and the breastplateH2833. FastenH640 the ephodH646 on him with its woven waistbandH2805. 6PutH7760 the turbanH4701 onH5921 his headH7218 and attachH5414 the holyH6944 diademH5145 toH5921 the turbanH4701. 7Then takeH3947 the anointingH4888 oilH8081 and anoint himH4886 by pouringH3332 it onH5921 his headH7218.

8PresentH7126 his sonsH1121 as wellH853 and clothe themH3847 with tunicsH3801. 9WrapH2296 the sashesH73 around AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 and tieH2280 headbandsH4021 on them. The priesthoodH3550 shall beH1961 theirs by a permanentH5769 statuteH2708. In this way you are to ordainH4390H3027 AaronH175H3027 and his sonsH1121.

The Order of the Sacrifices

(Leviticus 8:22–36)

10You are to presentH7126 the bullH6499 at the frontH6440 of the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, and AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 are to layH5564 their handsH3027 onH5921 its headH7218. 11And you shall slaughterH7819 the bullH6499 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 at the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150. 12Take someH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the bullH6499 and putH5414 it onH5921 the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 with your fingerH676; then pour outH8210 the restH3605 of the bloodH1818 atH413 the baseH3247 of the altarH4196. 13TakeH3947 allH3605 the fatH2459 that coversH3680 the entrailsH7130 andH853 the lobeH3508 ofH5921 the liverH3516, and bothH8147 kidneysH3629 with the fatH2459 on themH5921, and burn themH6999 on the altarH4196. 14ButH853 burnH8313H784 the fleshH1320 of the bullH6499 andH853 its hideH5785 and dungH6569 outsideH2351 the campH4264; itH1931 is a sin offeringH2403.1

15

TakeH3947 oneH259 of the ramsH352, and AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall layH5564 their handsH3027 onH5921 its headH7218. 16You are to slaughterH7819 the ramH352, takeH3947 its bloodH1818, and splatterH2236 it onH5921 all sidesH5439 of the altarH4196. 17CutH5408 the ramH352 into piecesH5409, washH7364 the entrailsH7130 and legsH3767, and place themH5414 withH5921 its headH7218 and other piecesH5409H5921. 18Then burnH6999 the entireH3605 ramH352 on the altarH4196; itH1931 is a burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068, a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381, a food offeringH801 to the LORDH3068.

19TakeH3947 the secondH8145 ramH352, and AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 are to layH5564 their handsH3027 onH5921 its headH7218. 20SlaughterH7819 the ramH352, takeH3947 some of its bloodH1818, and putH5414 it onH5921 the right earlobesH8571H241 of AaronH175 andH5921 his sonsH1121, onH5921 the thumbsH931 of their rightH3233 handsH3027, and onH5921 the big toesH931 of their rightH3233 feetH7272. SplatterH2236 the remaining bloodH1818 onH5921 all sidesH5439 of the altarH4196. 21And takeH3947 some ofH4480 the bloodH1818 onH5921 the altarH4196 and some of the anointingH4888 oilH8081 and sprinkleH5137 it onH5921 AaronH175 and his garmentsH899H5921, as well as onH5921 his sonsH1121H5921 and their garmentsH899. Then heH1931 and his garmentsH899 will be consecratedH6942, as well as his sonsH1121H854 and theirH1121 garmentsH899H1121H854.

22TakeH3947 the fatH2459 fromH4480 the ramH352, the fat tailH451, the fatH2459 coveringH3680 the entrailsH7130, the lobeH3508 of the liverH3516, bothH8147 kidneysH3629 with the fatH2459 on themH5921, and the rightH3225 thighH7785 (sinceH3588 thisH1931 is a ramH352 for ordinationH4394), 23along with oneH259 loafH3603 of breadH3899, oneH259 cakeH2471 of breadH3899 made with oilH8081, and oneH259 waferH7550 from the basketH5536 of unleavened breadH4682 thatH834 is beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 24PutH7760 all theseH3605 inH5921 the handsH3709 of AaronH175H5921H3709 and his sonsH1121 and waveH5130 themH853 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 as a wave offeringH8573. 25Then takeH3947 themH853 from their handsH3027 and burn themH6999 on the altarH4196 atopH5921 the burnt offeringH5930 as a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; itH1931 is a food offeringH801 to the LORDH3068.

26TakeH3947 the breastH2373 of the ramH352 of Aaron’sH175 ordinationH4394 and waveH5130 itH853 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 as a wave offeringH8573, and it will beH1961 your portionH4490. 27ConsecrateH6942 for AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 the breastH2373 of the wave offeringH8573 thatH834 is wavedH5130 and the thighH7785 of the heave offeringH8641 thatH834 is lifted upH7311 from the ramH352 of ordinationH4394. 28This will belong toH1961 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 as a regularH5769H854 portionH2706 from the IsraelitesH1121H3478, forH3588 itH1931 is the heave offeringH8641 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 will makeH8641 to the LORDH3068 from their peace offeringsH8002H2077.

29The holyH6944 garmentsH899 thatH834 belong to AaronH175 will belongH1961 to his sonsH1121 after himH310, so they can be anointedH4888 and ordainedH4390 in themH3027. 30The sonH1121 whoH834 succeeds himH8478 as priestH3548 and entersH935H413 the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 to ministerH8334 in the HolyH6944 Place must wear themH3847 for sevenH7651 daysH3117.

Food for the Priests

You are to takeH3947 the ramH352 of ordinationH4394 and boilH1310 its fleshH1320 in a holyH6918 placeH4725. 32At the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 are to eatH398 the meatH1320 of the ramH352 and the breadH3899 thatH834 is in the basketH5536. 33They must eatH398 those things by whichH834 atonement was madeH3722 for their ordinationH4390 and consecrationH6942. But noH3808 outsiderH2114 may eat themH398, becauseH3588 theseH1992 things are sacredH6944. 34And ifH518 any ofH4480 the meatH1320 of ordinationH4394 or any breadH3899 is leftH3498 untilH5704 the morningH1242, you are to burn upH8313 the remainderH3498. It must notH3808 be eatenH398, becauseH3588 itH1931 is sacredH6944.

35This is whatH3602 you are to doH6213 for AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 based on allH3605 thatH834 I have commandedH6680 youH853, taking sevenH7651 daysH3117 to ordainH4390 themH3027. 36SacrificeH6213 a bullH6499 as a sin offeringH2403 each dayH3117 forH5921 atonementH3725. PurifyH2398 the altarH4196 by making atonementH3722H5921 for itH5921, and anointH4886 itH853 to consecrate itH6942. 37For sevenH7651 daysH3117 you shall make atonementH3722 forH5921 the altarH4196 and consecrateH6942 itH853. Then the altarH4196 will becomeH1961 most holyH6944; whateverH3605 touchesH5060 the altarH4196 will be holyH6942.

The Daily Offerings

(Numbers 28:1–8)

38ThisH2088 is whatH834 you are to offerH6213 regularlyH8548 onH5921 the altarH4196, each dayH3117: twoH8147 lambsH3532 that are a year oldH1121H8141. 39OfferH6213 oneH259 lambH3532 in the morningH1242 and the otherH8145 atH996 twilightH6153.2 40With the firstH259 lambH3532 offer a tenthH6241 of an ephah of fine flourH5560,3 mixedH1101 with a quarterH7253 hinH1969 of oilH8081 from pressedH3795 olives,4 and a drink offeringH5262 of a quarterH7243 hinH1969 of wineH3196. 41AndH853 offerH6213 the secondH8145 lambH3532 atH996 twilightH6153 withH6213 the same grain offeringH4503 and drink offeringH5262 as in the morningH1242, as a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381, a food offeringH801 to the LORDH3068.

42For the generations to comeH1755, this burnt offeringH5930 shall be made regularlyH8548 at the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, whereH834 I will meetH3259 you to speakH1696 with youH413H8033. 43I will also meetH3259 with the IsraelitesH1121H3478 thereH8033, and that place will be consecratedH6942 by My gloryH3519. 44So I will consecrateH6942 the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 and the altarH4196, and I will consecrateH6942 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 to serve Me as priestsH3547.

God Will Dwell among the People

45Then I will dwellH7931 amongH8432 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and beH1961 their GodH430. 46And they will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, whoH834 brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 so that I might dwellH7931 among themH8432.

IH589 am the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
