1“And this [is] the thing which you do to them, to hallow them, for being priests to Me: take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones,

2and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil; you make them of fine wheat flour,

3and you have put them on one basket, and have brought them near in the basket, also the bullock and the two rams.

4And you bring Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed them with water;

5and you have taken the garments, and have clothed Aaron with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and have girded him with the girdle of the ephod,

6and have set the turban on his head, and have put the holy crown on the turban,

7and have taken the anointing oil, and have poured [it] on his head, and have anointed him.

8And you bring his sons near, and have clothed them [with] coats,

9and have girded them [with] a girdle (Aaron and his sons), and have bound caps on them; and the priesthood has been theirs by a continuous statute, and you have consecrated the hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons,

10and have brought the bullock near before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron has laid—his sons also—their hands on the head of the bullock.

11And you have slaughtered the bullock before YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting,

12and have taken of the blood of the bullock, and have put [it] on the horns of the altar with your finger, and you pour out all the blood at the foundation of the altar;

13and you have taken all the fat which is covering the innards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, and have made incense on the altar;

14and the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, you burn with fire at the outside of the camp; it [is] a sin-offering.

15And you take the first ram, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram,

16and you have slaughtered the ram, and have taken its blood, and have sprinkled [it] around the altar,

17and you cut the ram into its pieces, and have washed its innards, and its legs, and have put [them] on its pieces, and on its head;

18and you have made incense with the whole ram on the altar. It [is] a burnt-offering to YHWH, a refreshing fragrance; it [is] a fire-offering to YHWH.

19And you have taken the second ram, and Aaron has laid—his sons also—their hands on the head of the ram,

20and you have slaughtered the ram, and have taken of its blood, and have 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 great toe of their right foot, and have sprinkled the blood around the altar;

21and you have taken of the blood which [is] on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and have sprinkled [it] on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him, and he has been hallowed, he and his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

22And you have taken from the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the innards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, and the right leg, for it [is] a ram of consecration,

23and one round cake of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one thin cake out of the basket of the unleavened things which [is] before YHWH;

24and you have set the whole on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and have waved them [for] a wave-offering before YHWH;

25and you have taken them out of their hand, and have made incense on the altar beside the burnt-offering, for refreshing fragrance before YHWH; it [is] a fire-offering to YHWH.

26And you have taken the breast from the ram of the consecration which [is] for Aaron, and have waved it [for] a wave-offering before YHWH, and it has become your portion;

27and you have sanctified the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the raised-offering, which has been waved, and which has been lifted up from the ram of the consecration, of that which [is] for Aaron, and of that which [is] for his sons;

28and it has been for Aaron and for his sons, by a continuous statute from the sons of Israel, for it [is] a raised-offering; and it is a raised-offering from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings—their raised-offering to YHWH.

29And the holy garments which are Aaron’s are for his sons after him, to be anointed in them and to consecrate their hand in them;

30[for] seven days the priest in his stead (of his sons) puts them on when he goes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.

31And you take the ram of the consecration and have boiled its flesh in the holy place;

32and Aaron has eaten—his sons also—the flesh of the ram, and the bread which [is] in the basket, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting;

33and they have eaten those things by which there is atonement to consecrate their hand, to sanctify them; and a stranger does not eat [them], for they [are] holy;

34and if there is left of the flesh of the consecration or of the bread until the morning, then you have burned that which is left with fire; it is not eaten, for it [is] holy.

35And you have done thus to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; [for] seven days you consecrate their hand;

36and a bullock, a sin-offering, you prepare daily for the atonements, and you have atoned for the altar in your making atonement on it, and have anointed it to sanctify it;

37[for] seven days you make atonement for the altar, and have sanctified it, and the altar has been most holy; all that is coming against the altar is holy.

38And this [is] that which you prepare on the altar: two lambs, sons of a year, daily continually;

39you prepare the first lamb in the morning, and you prepare the second lamb between the evenings;

40and a tenth part of fine flour mixed with a fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth part of a hin of wine [for] a drink-offering, [is] for the first lamb.

41And you prepare the second lamb between the evenings; according to the present of the morning, and according to its drink-offering, you prepare for it, for refreshing fragrance, a fire-offering to YHWH—

42a continual burnt-offering for your generations [at] the opening of the Tent of Meeting before YHWH, to where I meet with you to speak to you there,

43and I have met with the sons of Israel there, and it has been sanctified by My glory.

44And I have sanctified the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and I sanctify Aaron and his sons for being priests to Me,

45and I have dwelt in the midst of the sons of Israel, and have become their God,

46and they have known that I [am] their God YHWH, who has brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell in their midst; I [am] their God YHWH.”
