አሮንና ልጆቹ ካህናት ሆነው መሾማቸው
8፥1-36 ተጓ ምብ – ዘፀ 29፥1-37
1እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ሙሴን እንዲህ አለው፤ 2“አሮንንና ልጆቹን፣ ልብሰ ተክህኖውን፣ የመቅቢያ ዘይቱን፣ ለኀጢአት መሥዋዕት የሚሆነውን ወይፈን፣ ሁለቱን አውራ በጎችና እርሾ ሳይገባበት የተጋገረው ቂጣ ያለበትን መሶብ አምጣ፤ 3ማኅበሩን በሙሉ በመገናኛው ድንኳን ደጃፍ ሰብስብ።” 4ሙሴም እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) እንዳዘዘው አደረገ፤ ማኅበሩም በመገናኛው ድንኳን ደጃፍ ተሰበሰበ።
5ሙሴም ማኅበሩን፣ “እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) እንዲደረግ ያዘዘው ይህ ነው” አላቸው። 6ሙሴም አሮንንና ልጆቹን ወደ ፊት አወጣቸው፤ በውሃም ዕጠባቸው። 7አሮንን እጀ ጠባብ አለበሰው፤ መቀነት አስታጠቀው፤ ቀሚስ አጠለቀለት፤ ኤፉድ ደረበለት፤ በልዩ ጥበብ በተጠለፈው መታጠቂያ ኤፉዱን አስታጠቀው፤ በላዩም አሰረው፤ 8የደረት ኪሱን በላዩ አደረገለት፤ በደረት ኪሱም ውስጥ ኡሪምንና ቱሚምን አኖረ። 9እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ባዘዘውም መሠረት፣ ሙሴ ጥምጥሙን በአሮን ራስ ላይ አደረገ፤ በጥምጥሙም ላይ በፊት ለፊቱ በኩል የተቀደሰውን የወርቅ አክሊል አደረገለት።
10ሙሴም መቅቢያ ዘይቱን ወሰደ፤ ማደሪያ ድንኳኑንና በውስጡ የሚገኘውን ሁሉ ቀብቶ ቀደሰ። 11ከዘይቱም ጥቂት ወስዶ በመሠዊያው ላይ ሰባት ጊዜ ረጨ፤ ይቀድሳቸውም ዘንድ መሠዊያውን ከነመገልገያ ዕቃው ሁሉ እንዲሁም የመታጠቢያ ሳሕኑን ከነማስቀመጫው በዘይት ቀባ። 12ከመቅቢያ ዘይቱም በአሮን ራስ ላይ አፈሰሰ፤ የተቀደሰ እንዲሆንም ቀባው። 13እግዚአብሔርም (ያህዌ) ባዘዘው መሠረት ሙሴ፣ የአሮንን ልጆች ወደ ፊት አቅርቦ እጀ ጠባብ አለበሳቸው፤ መታጠቂያ አስታጠቃቸው፤ ቆብም ደፋላቸው።
14ሙሴም የኀጢአት መሥዋዕት የሆነውን ወይፈን አመጣ፤ አሮንና ልጆቹም በወይፈኑ ራስ ላይ እጃቸውን ጫኑ። 15ሙሴም ወይፈኑን ዐረደ፤ ደሙንም ወስዶ መሠዊያውን ያነጻ ዘንድ በጣቱ የመሠዊያውን ቀንዶች ሁሉ ቀባ፤ የቀረውንም ደም በመሠዊያው ሥር አፈሰሰው። ለመሠዊያውም እንዲህ አድርጎ ያስተሰርይለት ዘንድ ቀደሰው። 16ሙሴም የሆድ ዕቃውን የሚሸፍነውን ሁሉ፣ የጕበቱን ሽፋን፣ ኵላሊቶችንና ሥባቸውን ወስዶ በመሠዊያው ላይ አቃጠለ። 17ሙሴም እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ባዘዘው መሠረት ወይፈኑን፣ ቈዳውን፣ ሥጋውንና ፈርሱን ከሰፈር ውጭ አቃጠለ።
18ሙሴ ለሚቃጠል መሥዋዕት የሚሆነውን አውራ በግ አቀረበ፤ አሮንና ልጆቹም እጃቸውን በበጉ ላይ ጫኑ። 19ሙሴም በጉን ዐርዶ ደሙን በመሠዊያው ላይ ዙሪያውን ረጨ። 20በጉንም በየብልቱ ቈራረጠ፤ ጭንቅላቱን፣ ብልቶቹንና ሥቡን አቃጠለ። 21ሆድ ዕቃውንና እግሮቹን በውሃ አጠበ፤ ሙሴም እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ባዘዘው መሠረት፣ በጉን በሙሉ ለእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) በእሳት የሚቀርብ፣ ሽታውም ደስ የሚያሰኝ የሚቃጠል መሥዋዕት አድርጎ በመሠዊያው ላይ አቃጠለው።
22ሙሴ ለቅድስና የሚሆነውን ሌላ አውራ በግ አቀረበ፤ አሮንና ልጆቹም እጆቻቸውን በበጉ ራስ ላይ ጫኑ። 23ሙሴ አውራ በጉን ዐረደ፤ ከደሙም ጥቂት ወስዶ የአሮንን ቀኝ ጆሮ ጫፍ፣ የቀኝ እጁን አውራ ጣትና የቀኝ እግሩን አውራ ጣት አስነካ፤ 24የአሮንንም ልጆች ወደ ፊት ጠራ፤ ከደሙም ጥቂት ወስዶ የቀኝ ጆሯቸውን ጫፍ፣ የቀኝ እጃቸውን አውራ ጣትና የቀኝ እግራቸውን አውራ ጣት አስነካ፤ የቀረውንም ደም በመሠዊያው ላይ ዙሪያውን ረጨ። 25ሥቡን፣ ላቱን፣ ሆድ ዕቃውን የሚሸፍነውን ሥብ ሁሉ፣ የጕበቱን ሽፋን፣ ሁለቱን ኵላሊቶችና ሥባቸውን እንዲሁም ቀኝ ወርቹን ወሰደ፤ 26በእግዚአብሔርም (ያህዌ) ፊት ካለው፣ ያለ እርሾ የተጋገረ ዳቦ ካለበት መሶብ ላይ አንድ ኅብስት፣ አንድ በዘይት የተጋገረ ዳቦ እንዲሁም ስስ ቂጣ ወስዶ በሥቦቹና በቀኝ ወርቹ ላይ አኖረ። 27እነዚህንም ሁሉ ለአሮንና ለልጆቹ በእጃቸው ሰጣቸው፤ እነርሱም የሚወዘወዝ መሥዋዕት አድርገው በእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ፊት ወዘወዙት። 28ሙሴም ከእጃቸው ተቀብሎ፣ ለእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) በእሳት የሚቀርብ፣ ሽታውም ደስ የሚያሰኝ መሥዋዕት አድርጎ በመሠዊያው ላይ በሚቃጠለው መሥዋዕት ላይ አቃጠለው። 29ሙሴም እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ባዘዘው መሠረት፣ ድርሻው የሆነውን ክህነት የመስጫውን አውራ በግ ፍርምባ ወስዶ የሚወዘወዝ መሥዋዕት በማድረግ በእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ፊት ወዘወዘው።
30ቀጥሎም ሙሴ በመቅቢያው ዘይትና በመሠዊያው ላይ ካለው ደም ጥቂት ወስዶ፣ በአሮንና በልብሱ እንዲሁም በአሮን ልጆችና በልብሳቸው ላይ ረጨ፤ በዚህም ሁኔታ አሮንንና ልብሱን፣ ልጆቹንና ልብሳቸውን ቀደሰ።
31ሙሴም አሮንና ልጆቹን እንዲህ አላቸው፤ “ሥጋውን በመገናኛው ድንኳን ደጃፍ ቀቅሉት፤ በዚያም፣ ‘አሮንና ልጆቹ ይብሉት’ ተብዬ በታዘዝሁት8፥31 ወይም ብዬ ባዘዝሁት መሠረት፣ በክህነት መስጫው መሥዋዕት መሶብ ውስጥ ካለው ኅብስት ጋር ብሉት፤ 32የተረፈውንም ሥጋና ኅብስት በእሳት አቃጥሉ። 33የክህነት መቀበያችሁ ሥርዐት እስከሚፈጸምበት እስከ ሰባት ቀን ድረስ በመገናኛው ድንኳን ደጃፍ ቈዩ፤ ሥርዐቱንም ለመፈጸም ሰባት ቀን ይወስዳልና። 34ዛሬ የተፈጸመው ይህ ሥርዐት ለእናንተ ማስተስረያ እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ያዘዘው ነው። 35እንዳትሞቱ ሰባቱን ቀንና ሌሊት ከመገናኛው ድንኳን ደጃፍ አትለዩ፤ የእግዚአብሔርንም (ያህዌ) ሥርዐት ጠብቁ፤ የታዘዝሁት እንዲህ ነውና።” 36አሮንና ልጆቹም እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) በሙሴ አማካይነት ያዘዘውን ሁሉ አደረጉ።
The ordination of Aaron and his sons
1The Lord said to Moses, 2‘Bring Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering,8:2 Or purification offering; also in verse 14 the two rams and the basket containing bread made without yeast, 3and gather the entire assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting.’ 4Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
5Moses said to the assembly, ‘This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.’ 6Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water. 7He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash round him, clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him. He also fastened the ephod with a decorative waistband, which he tied round him. 8He placed the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece. 9Then he placed the turban on Aaron’s head and set the gold plate, the sacred emblem, on the front of it, as the Lord commanded Moses.
10Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated them. 11He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, anointing the altar and all its utensils and the basin with its stand, to consecrate them. 12He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him. 13Then he brought Aaron’s sons forward, put tunics on them, tied sashes round them and fastened caps on them, as the Lord commanded Moses.
14He then presented the bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 15Moses slaughtered the bull and took some of the blood, and with his finger he put it on all the horns of the altar to purify the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. So he consecrated it to make atonement for it. 16Moses also took all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys and their fat, and burned it on the altar. 17But the bull with its hide and its flesh and its intestines he burned outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.
18He then presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 19Then Moses slaughtered the ram and splashed the blood against the sides of the altar. 20He cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces and the fat. 21He washed the internal organs and the legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
22He then presented the other ram, the ram for the ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 23Moses slaughtered the ram and took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. 24Moses also brought Aaron’s sons forward and put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet. Then he splashed blood against the sides of the altar. 25After that, he took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, both kidneys and their fat and the right thigh. 26And from the basket of bread made without yeast, which was before the Lord, he took one thick loaf, one thick loaf with olive oil mixed in, and one thin loaf, and he put these on the fat portions and on the right thigh. 27He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and they waved them before the Lord as a wave offering. 28Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar on top of the burnt offering as an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord. 29Moses also took the breast, which was his share of the ordination ram, and waved it before the Lord as a wave offering, as the Lord commanded Moses.
30Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood from the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated Aaron and his garments and his sons and their garments.
31Moses then said to Aaron and his sons, ‘Cook the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting and eat it there with the bread from the basket of ordination offerings, as I was commanded: “Aaron and his sons are to eat it.” 32Then burn the rest of the meat and the bread. 33Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are completed, for your ordination will last seven days. 34What has been done today was commanded by the Lord to make atonement for you. 35You must stay at the entrance to the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and do what the Lord requires, so that you will not die; for that is what I have been commanded.’
36So Aaron and his sons did everything the Lord commanded through Moses.
