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，戴上頭巾，都遵照耶和華的吩咐。
14摩西牽來那頭作贖罪祭的公牛，亞倫父子們把手按在牛頭上。 15摩西宰了牛，用手指蘸一些牛血抹在祭壇凸起的四角上，以潔淨祭壇，再把剩下的血倒在壇腳，使祭壇聖潔，為祭壇贖罪。 16他取出內臟上的脂肪、肝葉、兩個腎臟和腎臟上的脂肪，放在祭壇上燒掉， 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，亞倫父子們把手按在羊頭上。 19摩西宰了那隻羊，把血灑在祭壇四周； 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，把整隻羊放在祭壇上焚燒，這是燔祭，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。亞倫父子們把手按在羊頭上。 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他取下羊的脂肪、肥尾巴、內臟上的脂肪、肝葉、兩個腎臟、腎臟上的脂肪和右腿， 26又從放在耶和華面前盛無酵餅的籃子裡取一個無酵餅、一個油餅和一個薄餅，放在羊的右腿和脂肪上。 27他把這些都放在亞倫父子們手中，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摩西又把公綿羊的胸肉作為搖祭，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：「你們要照我的吩咐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你們的授聖職禮歷時七天，這七天之內，你們不可離開會幕門口。 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。
