膏立亞倫父子們做祭司
1耶和華對摩西說： 2「你把亞倫父子們帶來，也要帶聖衣、膏油、一頭作贖罪祭的公牛、兩隻公綿羊和一籃無酵餅， 3然後把全體會眾招聚到會幕門前。」 4摩西按照耶和華的指示行事，會眾都聚集在會幕門前。
5摩西告訴會眾：「這是耶和華吩咐我做的事。」 6他把亞倫父子們帶來，用水洗他們。 7摩西給亞倫穿上內袍，束上腰帶，穿上外袍，套上以弗得，用精巧的帶子把以弗得繫在亞倫身上， 8然後給他戴上胸牌，把烏陵和土明放在胸牌內， 9再把禮冠戴在他頭上，在禮冠前繫上金牌，即聖冠，都遵照耶和華的吩咐。
10摩西拿膏油抹聖幕和聖幕裡的一切物件，使它們聖潔； 11再用膏油在祭壇上灑七次，又抹祭壇和祭壇上的器具、洗濯盆和盆座，使它們聖潔。 12然後，摩西把膏油倒在亞倫頭上膏立他，使他聖潔。 13摩西又把亞倫的兒子們帶來，給他們穿上內袍，束上腰帶，裹上頭巾，都遵照耶和華的吩咐。
14摩西牽來那頭作贖罪祭的公牛，亞倫父子們把手放在牛頭上。 15摩西宰了牛，用手指蘸一些牛血抹在祭壇的四角上，以潔淨祭壇；把剩下的血倒在祭壇腳旁，使祭壇聖潔。 16他取出遮蓋內臟的脂肪、肝葉、兩個腎臟和腎臟上的脂肪，放在壇上焚燒， 17又照耶和華的吩咐，把公牛的皮、肉和糞便帶到營外燒掉。
18然後，摩西獻上作燔祭的公綿羊，亞倫父子們把手放在羊頭上。 19摩西宰了那隻羊，將羊血灑在祭壇周圍； 20把羊切成塊，焚燒羊頭、肉塊和脂肪； 21用水洗淨羊的內臟和腿，放在壇上焚燒，作蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭，都遵照耶和華的吩咐。
22摩西獻上另一隻為授聖職而獻的公綿羊。亞倫父子們把手放在羊頭上。 23摩西宰了羊，將一些羊血抹在亞倫的右耳垂、右手大拇指和右腳大腳趾上。 24他又把亞倫的兒子們帶來，將一些血抹在他們的右耳垂、右手大拇指和右腳大腳趾上，然後把剩下的血都灑在祭壇四周。 25他取下羊的右腿和脂肪，即肥尾巴、遮蓋內臟的脂肪、肝葉、兩個腎臟和腎臟上的脂肪， 26又從放在耶和華面前盛無酵餅的籃子中取一個無酵餅、一個油餅和一個薄餅，放在羊的右腿和脂肪上。 27他把這些放在亞倫父子們的手上，作為搖祭在耶和華面前搖一搖。 28隨後，他從他們手上拿過這些祭物，放在祭壇的燔祭上焚燒，作為授聖職時獻的祭。這是蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭。 29摩西又把祭牲的胸肉作為搖祭在耶和華面前搖一搖，這是他授聖職時所應得之份，都遵照耶和華的吩咐。
30摩西拿了一些膏油和壇上的血，灑在亞倫和他的衣服上，也灑在他兒子們和他們的衣服上，使亞倫父子們和他們的衣服聖潔。
31摩西對亞倫父子們說：「你們要照我的指示在會幕門口煮祭肉吃，也要吃籃子裡為授聖職而獻的餅。 32吃剩的肉和餅，你們要燒掉。 33你們的聖職禮為期七天，這七天之內，你們不可走出會幕門口。 34今天所做的這一切都是耶和華吩咐的，是為你們贖罪。 35七天之內，你們必須日夜待在會幕門口，要遵守耶和華的吩咐，免得你們死亡。這是耶和華對我的吩咐。」 36於是，亞倫父子們遵行了耶和華藉摩西吩咐的一切。
Preparing the Priests to Serve the Lord
1The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 2“Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting. Bring their clothes and the anointing oil. Bring the bull for the sin offering. Also bring two rams. And bring the basket with the bread made without yeast. 3Then gather the whole community at the entrance to the tent of meeting.” 4Moses did just as the Lord had commanded him. All the people gathered together at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
5Moses said to the people, “Here is what the Lord has commanded us to do.” 6Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons to the people. He washed Aaron and his sons with water. 7He put the inner robe on Aaron. He tied the belt around him. He dressed him in the outer robe. He put the linen apron on him. He took the skillfully made waistband and tied the apron on him with it. He wanted to make sure it was securely tied to him. 8Moses placed the chest cloth on Aaron. He put the Urim and Thummim in the chest cloth. 9Then he placed the turban on Aaron’s head. On the front of the turban he put the gold plate. It was a sacred crown. Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.
10Then Moses took the anointing oil and poured it on the holy tent. He also poured it on everything in it. That’s how he set apart those things for the Lord. 11He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times. He poured oil on the altar and all its tools. He poured it on the large bowl and its stand. He did it to set them apart. 12He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head. He anointed him to set him apart to serve the Lord. 13Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons to the people. He put the inner robes on them. He tied belts around them. He put caps on their heads. He did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.
14Then he brought the bull for the sin offering. Aaron and his sons placed their hands on its head. 15Moses killed the bull. He dipped his finger into some of the blood. He put it on the horns that stick out from the upper four corners of the altar. He did it to make the altar pure. He poured out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar. So he set it apart to make it pure. 16Moses also removed all the fat around the inside parts of the bull. He removed the long part of the liver. He took both kidneys and their fat. Then he burned all of it on the altar. 17But he burned the rest of the bull outside the camp. He burned up its hide, its meat and its guts. He did it just as the Lord had commanded him.
18Then Moses brought the ram for the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons placed their hands on its head. 19Moses killed the ram. He splashed the blood against the sides of the altar. 20He cut the ram into pieces. He burned the head, the other pieces and the fat. 21He washed the inside parts and the legs with water. He burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering. It had a pleasant smell. It was a food offering presented to the Lord. Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.
22Then he brought the other ram. It was sacrificed to prepare the priests for serving the Lord. Aaron and his sons placed their hands on its head. 23Moses killed the ram. He put some of its blood on Aaron’s right earlobe. He put some on the thumb of Aaron’s right hand. He also put some on the big toe of Aaron’s right foot. 24Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons to the people. He put some of the blood on their right earlobes. He put some on the thumbs of their right hands. He also put some on the big toes of their right feet. Then he splashed the rest of the blood against the sides of the altar. 25He removed the fat, the fat tail and all the fat around the inside parts. He removed the long part of the liver. He removed both kidneys and their fat. And he removed the right thigh. 26Then he took a thick loaf of bread from the basket of bread made without yeast. The basket was in front of the Lord. Moses took a thick loaf of bread made with olive oil. He also took a thin loaf of bread. He put all of it on the fat parts of the ram and on its right thigh. 27He put everything in the hands of Aaron and his sons. He told them to lift it up and wave it in front of the Lord as a wave offering. 28Then Moses took it from their hands. He burned it on the altar on top of the burnt offering. It was the offering that was sacrificed to prepare the priests for serving the Lord. It had a pleasant smell. It was a food offering presented to the Lord. 29Moses also lifted up the ram’s breast and waved it in front of the Lord as a wave offering. The breast was Moses’ share of the ram that was sacrificed to prepare the priests for serving the Lord. Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.
30Then Moses took some of the anointing oil. He also took some of the blood from the altar. He sprinkled some of the oil and blood on Aaron and his clothes. He also sprinkled some on Aaron’s sons and their clothes. That’s how he set apart Aaron and his clothes. And that’s how he set apart Aaron’s sons and their clothes.
31Then Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons. He said, “Cook the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting. Eat it there along with the bread from the basket of the offerings that are brought to prepare the priests for serving the Lord. Do it just as I was commanded. I was told, ‘Aaron and his sons must eat it.’ 32Then burn up the rest of the meat and the bread. 33Don’t leave the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days. Don’t leave until the days that are required to prepare you for serving the Lord have been completed. Stay here for the full seven days. 34The Lord commanded what has been done here today. It was done to pay for your sin. 35Stay at the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days. Stay here day and night. Do what the Lord requires. Then you won’t die. That’s the command the Lord gave me.”
36So Aaron and his sons did everything just as the Lord had commanded through Moses.
