them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office. [1] 42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach: [2] [3] 43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they enter in to the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place ; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever to him and to his seed after him.
CHAP. 29.
1 And this is the thing that thou shalt do to them to hallow them, to minister to me in the priest’s office: Take one young bull, and two rams without blemish,
2 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheat flour shalt thou make them.
3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.
4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.
5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the beautifully woven band of the ephod:
6 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.
7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
9 And thou shalt gird them with waistbands, Aaron and his sons, and put the headdresses on them: and the priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons. [4] [5]
10 And thou shalt cause a bull to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bull.
11 And thou shalt kill the bull before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bull, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.
13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the fat that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar. [6]
14 But the flesh of the bull, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire outside the camp: it is a sin offering.
15 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it around upon the altar.
17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them with his pieces, and with his head. [7]
18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering to the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around upon the altar.
21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the fat above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration:
23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:
24 And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. [8]
25 And thou shalt receive them from their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire to the LORD.
26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is offered, from the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:
28 And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’ by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering to the LORD.
29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed in it,
