Consecration of the Priests
1“This is what you are to do to consecrate them, so they may serve me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without defect. 2And from the finest wheat flour make round loaves without yeast, thick loaves without yeast and with olive oil mixed in, and thin loaves without yeast and brushed with olive oil. 3Put them in a basket and present them along with the bull and the two rams. 4Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water. 5Take the garments and dress Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself and the breastpiece. Fasten the ephod on him by its skillfully woven waistband. 6Put the turban on his head and attach the sacred emblem to the turban. 7Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head. 8Bring his sons and dress them in tunics 9and fasten caps on them. Then tie sashes on Aaron and his sons.29:9 Hebrew; Septuagint on them The priesthood is theirs by a lasting ordinance.
“Then you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.
10“Bring the bull to the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. 11Slaughter it in the Lord’s presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 12Take some of the bull’s blood and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar. 13Then take all the fat on the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar. 14But burn the bull’s flesh and its hide and its intestines outside the camp. It is a sin offering.29:14 Or purification offering; also in verse 36
15“Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. 16Slaughter it and take the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar. 17Cut the ram into pieces and wash the internal organs and the legs, putting them with the head and the other pieces. 18Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.
19“Take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. 20Slaughter it, take some of its blood and put it on the lobes of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then splash blood against the sides of the altar. 21And take some blood from the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. Then he and his sons and their garments will be consecrated.
22“Take from this ram the fat, the fat tail, the fat on the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh. (This is the ram for the ordination.) 23From the basket of bread made without yeast, which is before the Lord, take one round loaf, one thick loaf with olive oil mixed in, and one thin loaf. 24Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and have them wave them before the Lord as a wave offering. 25Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering for a pleasing aroma to the Lord, a food offering presented to the Lord. 26After you take the breast of the ram for Aaron’s ordination, wave it before the Lord as a wave offering, and it will be your share.
27“Consecrate those parts of the ordination ram that belong to Aaron and his sons: the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. 28This is always to be the perpetual share from the Israelites for Aaron and his sons. It is the contribution the Israelites are to make to the Lord from their fellowship offerings.
29“Aaron’s sacred garments will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them. 30The son who succeeds him as priest and comes to the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place is to wear them seven days.
31“Take the ram for the ordination and cook the meat in a sacred place. 32At the entrance to the tent of meeting, Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket. 33They are to eat these offerings by which atonement was made for their ordination and consecration. But no one else may eat them, because they are sacred. 34And if any of the meat of the ordination ram or any bread is left over till morning, burn it up. It must not be eaten, because it is sacred.
35“Do for Aaron and his sons everything I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them. 36Sacrifice a bull each day as a sin offering to make atonement. Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate it. 37For seven days make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will be most holy, and whatever touches it will be holy.
38“This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day: two lambs a year old. 39Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight. 40With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah29:40 That is, probably about 3 1/2 pounds or about 1.6 kilograms of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin29:40 That is, probably about 1 quart or about 1 liter of oil from pressed olives, and a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering. 41Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and its drink offering as in the morning—a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.
42“For the generations to come this burnt offering is to be made regularly at the entrance to the tent of meeting, before the Lord. There I will meet you and speak to you; 43there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory.
44“So I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. 45Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. 46They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.
立祭司的条例
1“你要使亚伦父子们分别出来，做圣洁的祭司事奉我。做法如下：你要选一头公牛犊和两只毫无残疾的公绵羊， 2用细面粉预备无酵饼、调上油的无酵饼和涂上油的无酵薄饼。 3所有的饼都要用一个篮子盛，连同公牛和绵羊一起带到会幕那里。 4你要把亚伦父子们带到会幕门口，用水洗他们， 5然后给亚伦穿上内袍、以弗得和以弗得的外袍，戴上胸牌，束上精致的以弗得带子， 6戴上礼冠，把圣冠29:6 “圣冠”应指28章提到的金牌。系在礼冠上。 7之后，把膏油倒在他头上，立他为祭司。 8接着轮到亚伦的儿子们，要给他们穿上内袍， 9为他们束上腰带，戴上头巾，他们就按永远的律例得到祭司的职分。你要这样把圣职授予他们。
10“你要把公牛牵到会幕前面，亚伦父子们要把手按在公牛头上。 11你要在会幕门前，在耶和华面前宰公牛。 12要取些公牛的血带到祭坛那里，用手指把血抹在祭坛凸起的四角上，再把剩下的血倒在坛脚。 13再把包裹内脏的脂肪、肝叶、两个肾脏和肾脏上的脂肪都放在祭坛上烧掉。 14但公牛的皮、肉和粪要拿到营外焚烧。这是赎罪祭。
15“要把一只公绵羊牵来，亚伦父子们要把手按在羊头上， 16然后你要宰羊，把血洒在祭坛四周。 17再把羊切成块状，用水洗净所有的内脏和腿，跟肉块和头放在一起。 18然后，把整只羊放在祭坛上焚烧，这是献给耶和华的燔祭，是蒙耶和华悦纳的馨香火祭。
19“你要把另一只公绵羊牵来，亚伦父子们要把手按在羊头上， 20然后你要宰羊，取一点血涂在亚伦和他儿子们的右耳垂、右手大拇指和右脚大脚趾上，剩下的血就洒在祭坛四周。 21再从祭坛上取些血，与膏油一起洒在亚伦父子及其衣服上。这样，他们和他们的衣服就会变得圣洁。
22“你要取出羊的脂肪、肥尾巴、包裹内脏的脂肪、肝叶、两个肾脏、肾脏上的脂肪和右腿，因为这是授圣职时所献的羊。 23再从耶和华面前装无酵饼的篮子里取一个饼、一个油饼和一个薄饼。 24把这些都放在亚伦父子们手中，作为摇祭在耶和华面前摇一摇。 25然后，你要把这些祭物接过来，放在祭坛的燔祭上焚烧献给耶和华，成为蒙耶和华悦纳的馨香火祭。 26你要拿起亚伦承受圣职时所献的那只公绵羊的胸肉，作为摇祭在耶和华面前摇一摇。之后，这份祭肉就归你。
27“你要将属于亚伦父子们、授圣职时所献公绵羊的摇祭胸肉和举祭腿肉分别出来，使之圣洁。 28这些祭物要从以色列人所献的平安祭中取出来，归给亚伦父子们，作为永远的定例。这是以色列人当向耶和华献的祭物。
29“亚伦的圣衣要留给他的子孙，他们可以穿上这圣衣受膏，承受圣职。 30接替亚伦做祭司的那位后裔，每次进会幕的圣所供职时，都要一连七天穿着圣衣。
31“你要在圣洁的地方煮授圣职时所用的公绵羊肉。 32亚伦父子们可以在会幕的门前吃这公绵羊祭肉和篮内的饼。 33他们要吃这些在授圣职时用来赎罪、使他们圣洁的祭物。但祭司以外的人不能吃，因为这些是圣物。 34若有授圣职时所献的肉或饼留到早晨，就要烧掉，不可再吃，因为这些都是圣物。
35“你要照我的吩咐，为亚伦父子们举行授圣职礼，历时七天。 36每天要献一头公牛作赎罪祭，来洁净祭坛，然后用膏油抹祭坛，使祭坛圣洁。 37连续七天都要这样做，使祭坛完全圣洁，凡是碰到祭坛的都变得圣洁。
38“你每天要在祭坛上献两只一岁的公羊羔， 39早晨和黄昏各献一只。 40要用一公斤细面粉调一升橄榄油做成素祭，与早晨献的羊羔一同献上，再献上一升酒作奠祭。 41黄昏献第二只羊时，也要跟早晨一样同时献上素祭和奠祭，作为蒙耶和华悦纳的馨香火祭。
42“你们世世代代要不断地在我面前献上燔祭，祭礼要在会幕门前举行，这会幕就是我跟你们会面交谈的地方。 43我要在那里和以色列人相会，我的荣耀将使会幕圣洁。
44“我要使会幕和祭坛圣洁，也要使亚伦父子们圣洁，做祭司事奉我。 45我要住在以色列人中间，做他们的上帝。 46他们必知道我是他们的上帝耶和华。我带领他们离开埃及，就是为了要住在他们中间。我是他们的上帝耶和华。
