Verse
Exodus - ch 29 v 1 - 20
- This is what you are to do to make them holy, to do the work of priests to me: Take one young ox and two male sheep, without any mark on them,
- And unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes on which oil has been put, made of the best bread-meal;
- Put these in a basket and take them, with the ox and the two sheep.
- And let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting, and there let them be washed with water.
- Take the robes, and put the coat and the dress and the ephod and the priest's bag on Aaron; put the band of needlework round him,
- And let the head-dress be placed on his head and the holy crown on the head-dress.
- Then take the oil and put it on his head.
- And take his sons and put their robes on them;
- And put the linen bands round Aaron and his sons, and the head-dresses on them, to make them priests by my order for ever: so you are to make Aaron and his sons holy to me.
- Then let the ox be taken in front of the Tent of meeting: and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.
- And you are to put the ox to death before the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting.
- Then take some of the blood of the ox, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, draining out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
- And take all the fat covering the inside of the ox, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and let them be burned on the altar;
- But the flesh of the ox and its skin and its waste parts are to be burned outside the circle of the tents, for it is a sin-offering.
- Then take one of the sheep, and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.
- Then let it be put to death, so that the sides of the altar are marked with its blood.
- Then the sheep is to be cut up into its parts, and after washing its legs and its inside parts, you are to put them with the parts and the head,
- And let them all be burned on the altar as a burned offering to the Lord: a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
- Then take the other sheep; and after Aaron and his sons have put their hands on its head,
- You are to put the sheep to death, and take some of its blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear, and of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and the great toes of their right feet, dropping the rest of the blood on the sides of the altar.
