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 around him, clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him. He also fastened the ephod with a decorative waistband, which he tied around 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 around 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 up 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 up 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 you will not die; for that is what I have been commanded.”
36So Aaron and his sons did everything the Lord commanded through Moses.
膏立亚伦父子们做祭司
1耶和华对摩西说： 2“你把亚伦父子们带来，也要带圣衣、膏油、一头作赎罪祭的公牛、两只公绵羊和一篮无酵饼， 3然后把全体会众招聚到会幕门前。” 4摩西按照耶和华的指示行事，会众都聚集在会幕门前。
5摩西告诉会众：“这是耶和华吩咐我做的事。” 6他把亚伦父子们带来，用水洗他们。 7摩西给亚伦穿上内袍，束上腰带，穿上外袍，套上以弗得，用精巧的带子把以弗得系在亚伦身上， 8然后给他戴上胸牌，把乌陵和土明放在胸牌内， 9再把礼冠戴在他头上，在礼冠前系上金牌，即圣冠，都遵照耶和华的吩咐。
10摩西拿膏油抹圣幕和圣幕里的一切物件，使它们圣洁； 11再用膏油在祭坛上洒七次，又抹祭坛和祭坛上的器具、洗濯盆和盆座，使它们圣洁。 12然后，摩西把膏油倒在亚伦头上膏立他，使他圣洁。 13摩西又把亚伦的儿子们带来，给他们穿上内袍，束上腰带，戴上头巾，都遵照耶和华的吩咐。
14摩西牵来那头作赎罪祭的公牛，亚伦父子们把手按在牛头上。 15摩西宰了牛，用手指蘸一些牛血抹在祭坛凸起的四角上，以洁净祭坛，再把剩下的血倒在坛脚，使祭坛圣洁，为祭坛赎罪。 16他取出内脏上的脂肪、肝叶、两个肾脏和肾脏上的脂肪，放在祭坛上烧掉， 17又照耶和华的吩咐，把公牛的皮、肉和粪便带到营外烧掉。
18然后，摩西献上作燔祭的公绵羊，亚伦父子们把手按在羊头上。 19摩西宰了那只羊，把血洒在祭坛四周； 20把羊切成块，焚烧羊头、肉块和脂肪； 21用水洗净羊的内脏和腿，把整只羊放在祭坛上焚烧，这是燔祭，作蒙耶和华悦纳的馨香火祭，都遵照耶和华的吩咐。
22摩西献上另一只为授圣职而献的公绵羊。亚伦父子们把手按在羊头上。 23摩西宰了羊，将一些羊血抹在亚伦的右耳垂、右手大拇指和右脚大脚趾上。 24他又把亚伦的儿子们带来，将一些血抹在他们的右耳垂、右手大拇指和右脚大脚趾上，然后把剩下的血都洒在祭坛四周。 25他取下羊的脂肪、肥尾巴、内脏上的脂肪、肝叶、两个肾脏、肾脏上的脂肪和右腿， 26又从放在耶和华面前盛无酵饼的篮子里取一个无酵饼、一个油饼和一个薄饼，放在羊的右腿和脂肪上。 27他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。 28随后，他从他们手上拿过这些祭物，放在祭坛的燔祭上焚烧，作为授圣职时献的祭。这是蒙耶和华悦纳的馨香火祭。 29摩西又把公绵羊的胸肉作为摇祭在耶和华面前摇一摇，这是他授圣职时所应得之份，都遵照耶和华的吩咐。
30摩西拿了一些膏油和坛上的血，洒在亚伦和他的衣服上，也洒在他儿子们和他们的衣服上，使亚伦父子们和他们的衣服圣洁。
31摩西对亚伦父子们说：“你们要照我的吩咐在会幕门口煮祭肉吃，也要吃篮子里为授圣职而献的饼。 32吃剩的肉和饼，你们要烧掉。 33你们的授圣职礼历时七天，这七天之内，你们不可离开会幕门口。 34今天所做的这一切都是耶和华吩咐的，是为你们赎罪。 35七天之内，你们必须日夜待在会幕门口，要遵守耶和华的吩咐，免得你们死亡。这是耶和华对我的吩咐。” 36于是，亚伦父子们遵行了耶和华借摩西吩咐的一切。
