Moses indsætter præsterne i deres embede
1Derpå sagde Herren til Moses: 2-3„Før Aron og hans sønner hen til åbenbaringsteltets indgang og bring også deres præstedragter, salveolien, ungtyren, der skal bruges til syndoffer, de to væddere og kurven med det usyrnede brød. Og kald så hele folket sammen!”
4Så samledes hele Israels folk uden for åbenbaringsteltet, 5hvorefter Moses sagde til dem: „Det, som nu skal ske, er noget, Herren har befalet mig at gøre.”
6Så lod han Aron og hans sønner træde frem og vaskede dem med vand. 7Derefter iklædte han Aron inderkjortlen med bæltet, yderkjortlen og efoden med det fintvævede livbånd. 8Så gav han ham brystklædet på og lagde Urim og Tummim inden i, 9hvorefter han satte turbanen med guldpladen på hans hoved, sådan som Herren havde befalet ham.
10Derefter tog Moses salveolien og stænkede den på teltet og alt dets inventar for på den måde at indvi stedet. 11Han stænkede alteret syv gange og stænkede også alterredskaberne, vaskefadet og dets stativ, så det hele var indviet. 12Derpå salvede han Aron ved at hælde olien ud over hans hoved. Aron var nu indviet til tjenesten som ypperstepræst. 13Derefter kom turen til Arons sønner. Moses iklædte dem deres særlige dragter med bælter og hovedbeklædning, sådan som Herren havde befalet ham.
14Moses tog nu den unge tyr, der var udvalgt til syndoffer, og Aron og hans sønner lagde hænderne på tyrens hoved, 15hvorefter Moses slagtede den. Så dyppede han sin finger i det opsamlede blod og smurte noget rundt om alterets fire horn for på den måde at indvi alteret. Resten af blodet hældte han ud ved alterets fod. Alteret var nu indviet og renset for urenhed. 16Så tog han fedtet fra tyrens indvolde, fedtklumpen over leveren, begge nyrer og fedtet rundt om og brændte det hele på alteret. 17Kødet, huden og resten af indvoldene blev derefter brændt uden for lejren, sådan som Herren havde befalet ham.
18Så førte Moses den vædder frem, som skulle være et brændoffer for Herren. Aron og hans sønner lagde hænderne på vædderens hoved, 19og Moses slagtede den, hvorefter han stænkede dens blod på alterets sider hele vejen rundt. 20Dernæst parterede han vædderen og brændte kødstykkerne samt hovedet og fedtet. 21Så vaskede han dyrets ben og indvoldene med vand og lagde det på alteret, så hele vædderen blev brændt som et lifligt offer. På den måde fulgte Moses Herrens befaling.
22Nu førte Moses den anden vædder frem, som skulle være et indvielsesoffer for præsterne. Aron og hans sønner lagde hænderne på vædderens hoved, 23hvorefter Moses slagtede den og smurte noget af blodet på Arons højre øre, højre tommelfinger og højre storetå. 24Derefter smurte han noget af blodet på Arons sønner, på deres højre øreflip, tommelfinger og storetå. Resten af blodet stænkede han på alteret hele vejen rundt.
25Så tog han alt fedtet, fedthalen, fedtet omkring indvoldene og ved leveren og begge nyrer med det omkringliggende fedt, samt det højre lår. 26Ovenpå placerede han et rundbrød og et fladbrød med olivenolie, samt et pandekageformet brød. Alle brødene var bagt uden surdej, og han tog dem fra brødkurven, som var stillet frem for Herren. 27Alt dette lagde han derefter i hænderne på Aron og hans sønner og beordrede dem at svinge det foran Herrens alter. 28Derefter tog Moses offergaverne og brændte dem på Herrens alter sammen med brændofferet som et lifligt offer. 29Moses tog nu brystet af vædderen og svingede det foran Herrens alter. Det var Moses’ personlige andel af offeret i overensstemmelse med, hvad Herren havde befalet ham.
30Dernæst tog Moses noget af blodet fra alteret og noget af olivenolien og stænkede det på Aron og hans tøj og på Arons sønner og deres tøj. Nu var Aron, hans sønner og deres præstedragter indviet til at gøre altertjeneste for Herren.
31Da sagde Moses til Aron og hans sønner: „Kog kødet ved indgangen til åbenbaringsteltet og spis det dér sammen med brødet fra offerkurven, sådan som jeg har fået befaling om. 32Hvad der levnes af kødet og brødet, skal I brænde. 33I skal blive uden for teltets indgang i syv dage, for så er indvielsen forbi. 34Det, som er sket i dag, er efter Herrens befaling, for at I kunne blive renset og indviet. 35Bliv ved indgangen i syv dage, dag og nat. I skal adlyde Herrens befalinger, ellers skal I dø! Det har Herren sagt til mig.”
36Så gjorde Aron og hans sønner nøjagtig, som Herren havde befalet gennem Moses.
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; 3And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 5And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done. 6And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 7And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith. 8And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim. 9And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses. 10And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them. 11And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them. 12And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 13And Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.8.13 put bonnets: Heb. bound bonnets
14And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering. 15And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it. 16And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar. 17But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
18¶ And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 19And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 20And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 21And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22¶ And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 23And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. 24And he brought Aaron’s sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 25And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder: 26And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder: 27And he put all upon Aaron’s hands, and upon his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD. 28And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 29And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses’ part; as the LORD commanded Moses. 30And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
31¶ And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 32And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. 33And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you. 34As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you. 35Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded. 36So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
