Exodus
28
29
Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of
judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before
Yahweh continually. 30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim
and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron’s heart, when he goes in before
Yahweh. Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart
before Yahweh continually.
31
“You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 32 It shall have a hole for
the head in the middle of it. It shall have a binding of woven work around its
hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn. 33 On its hem
you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, all around
its hem; with bells of gold between and around them: 34 a golden bell and a
pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe. 35 It
shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to
the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die.
36
“You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of
a signet, ‘HOLY TO YAHWEH.’ 37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall
be on the sash. It shall be on the front of the sash. 38 It shall be on Aaron’s
forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the
children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be
always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh. 39 You shall
weave the tunic with fine linen. You shall make a turban of fine linen. You
shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.
40
“You shall make tunics for Aaron’s sons. You shall make sashes for them. You
shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty. 41 You shall put them
on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and
consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the
priest’s office. 42 You shall make them linen pants to cover their naked flesh.
They shall reach from the waist even to the thighs. 43 They shall be on Aaron
and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near
to the altar to minister in the holy place, that they don’t bear iniquity, and
die. This shall be a statute forever to him and to his offspring after him.

“This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to
me in the priest’s office: take one young bull and two rams without defect, 2
unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers
anointed with oil. You shall make them of fine wheat flour. 3 You shall put
them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two
rams. 4 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting,
and shall wash them with water. 5 You shall take the garments, and put on Aaron
the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and clothe
him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod. 6 You shall set the turban on
his head, and put the holy crown on the turban. 7 Then you shall take the
anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him. 8 You shall bring his
sons, and put tunics on them. 9 You shall clothe them with belts, Aaron and his
sons, and bind headbands on them. They shall have the priesthood by a perpetual
statute. You shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10
“You shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting; and Aaron and his sons
shall lay their hands on the head of the bull. 11 You shall kill the bull
before Yahweh at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 12 You shall take of the
blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and
you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar. 13 You shall take
all the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys,
and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar. 14 But the meat of the
bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp.
It is a sin offering.
15
“You shall also take the one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands
on the head of the ram. 16 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its
blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar. 17 You shall cut the ram into its
pieces, and wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and
with its head. 18 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt
offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
19
“You shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on
the head of the ram. 20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its
blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the
right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe
of their right foot; and sprinkle the blood around on the altar. 21 You shall
take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle
it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his
sons with him: and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and
his sons’ garments with him. 22 Also you shall take some of the ram’s fat, the
fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two
kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of
consecration), 23 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer
out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh. 24 You shall put
all of this in Aaron’s hands, and in his sons’ hands, and shall wave them for a
wave offering before Yahweh. 25 You shall take them from their hands, and burn
them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it
is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
26
“You shall take the breast of Aaron’s ram of consecration, and wave it for a
wave offering before Yahweh. It shall be your portion. 27 You shall sanctify
the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the wave offering, which is
waved, and which is raised up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which
is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons. 28 It shall be for Aaron and
his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave
offering. It shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the
sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to Yahweh.
29
“The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in
them, and to be consecrated in them. 30 Seven days shall the son who is priest
in his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in
the holy place.
31
“You shall take the ram of consecration 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 Tent of Meeting. 33 They shall eat those things with
which atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them; but a stranger shall
not eat of it, because they are holy. 34 If anything of the meat of the
consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the
remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
35
“You shall do so to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have
commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days. 36 Every day you shall
offer the bull of sin offering for atonement. You shall cleanse the altar when
you make atonement for it. You shall anoint it, to sanctify it. 37 Seven days
you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and the altar shall be
most holy. Whatever touches the altar shall be holy.
38
“Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day
by day continually. 39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the
other lamb you shall offer at evening; 40 and with the one lamb a tenth part of
an ephah† of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin‡ of beaten oil, and
the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering. 41 The other lamb you
shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal offering of
the morning and according to its drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an
offering made by fire to Yahweh. 42 It shall be a continual burnt offering
throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh,
where I will meet with you, to speak there to you. 43 There I will meet with
the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory. 44 I
will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar. I will also sanctify Aaron and
his sons to minister to me in the priest’s office. 45 I will dwell among the
children of Israel, and will be their God. 46 They shall know that I am Yahweh
their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among
them: I am Yahweh their God.

“You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.
2 Its length shall be a cubit,† and its width a cubit. It shall be square, and
its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it. 3 You
shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns;
and you shall make a gold molding around it. 4 You shall make two golden rings
for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make
them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it. 5 You shall
make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 6 You shall put it
before the veil that is by the ark of the covenant, before the mercy seat that is
over the covenant, where I will meet with you. 7 Aaron shall burn incense of
sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it. 8
When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense
before Yahweh throughout your generations. 9 You shall offer no strange incense
on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink
offering on it. 10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year;
with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make
atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh.”
11
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “When you take a census of the children of
Israel, according to those who are counted among them, then each man shall give
a ransom for his soul to Yahweh when you count them, that there be no plague
among them when you count them. 13 They shall give this, everyone who passes
over to those who are counted, half a shekel according to the shekel‡ of the
sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs§); half a shekel for an offering to
Yahweh. 14 Everyone who passes over to those who are counted, from twenty years
old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh. 15 The rich shall not give
more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel,† when they give
the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls. 16 You shall take the
atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the
service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of
Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.”
17
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “You shall also make a basin of bronze, and
its base of bronze, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of
Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it. 19 Aaron and his sons
shall wash their hands and their feet in it. 20 When they go into the Tent of
Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near
to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 21 So
they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. This shall be a
statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their
generations.”
22
Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Also take fine spices: of liquid
myrrh, five hundred shekels;‡ and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two
hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty; 24 and of
cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin§ of
olive oil. 25 You shall make it into a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded
after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
