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.
Kuweka Wakfu Makuhani
(Walawi 8:1-36)
129:1 Law 20:7; Yos 3:5; 1Nya 15:12; Eze 43:23“Hili ndilo utakalofanya ili kuwaweka wakfu makuhani ili wanitumikie mimi katika kazi ya ukuhani: Chukua fahali mchanga mmoja na kondoo dume wawili wasio na dosari. 229:2 Law 2:1-4; 6:19-23; Hes 6:15Kutokana na unga laini wa ngano usiotiwa chachu, tengeneza mikate na maandazi yaliyokandwa kwa mafuta, pamoja na mikate midogo myembamba. 3Viwekwe vyote ndani ya kikapu na kuvitoa pamoja na yule fahali na wale kondoo dume wawili. 429:4 Kut 40:12; Law 14:8; 16:4; Ebr 10:22Kisha mlete Aroni na wanawe kwenye lango la Hema la Kukutania na uwaoshe kwa maji. 529:5 Kut 28:2; 28:8; Law 8:7Chukua yale mavazi na umvike Aroni koti, joho la kisibau na kisibau chenyewe pamoja na kile kifuko cha kifuani. Mfungie hicho kisibau kwa ule mshipi wa kiunoni uliosukwa kwa ustadi. 629:6 Kut 28:39; Isa 3:23; Zek 3:5; Kut 28:36Weka kilemba kichwani mwake na kuweka taji takatifu ishikamane na hicho kilemba. 729:7 Kut 28:41; 30:25-31; 37:29; Law 21:10; 1Sam 10:1; Za 89:20; 133:2; 141:5; Hes 35:25; Za 133:1, 2; Isa 61:1Chukua yale mafuta ya upako umimine juu ya kichwa chake. 829:8 Kut 28:4; Law 16:4Walete wanawe na uwavike makoti, 929:9 Kut 28:40; 27:21; 40:15; Hes 3:10; 18:7; 25:13; Kum 18:5; Amu 17:5; 1Sam 2:30; 1Fal 12:31pia uwavike zile tepe za kichwani. Ndipo uwafunge Aroni na wanawe mishipi. Ukuhani ni wao kwa agizo la kudumu. Kwa njia hii utamweka wakfu Aroni na wanawe.
1029:10 Law 1:4; 4:15; 16:21; Hes 8:12“Mlete yule fahali mbele ya Hema la Kukutania, naye Aroni na wanawe wataweka mikono yao juu ya kichwa chake. 1129:11 Law 1:5, 11; 4:24; 6:16, 25; 14:13Mchinje huyo fahali mbele za Bwana kwenye mlango wa Hema la Kukutania. 1229:12 Kut 27:2; Law 4:7; 9:9Chukua sehemu ya damu ya huyo fahali na kuipaka kwenye pembe za hayo madhabahu kwa kidole chako, na damu iliyobaki uimwage sehemu ya chini ya madhabahu. 1329:13 Law 1:8; 3:3-9; 4:10; 6:12; 9:10; Hes 18:17; 1Sam 2:15; 1Fal 8:64; 2Nya 7:7; 29:35; 35:14; Isa 43:24; Eze 44:15; Kut 12:9Kisha chukua mafuta yote ya huyo mnyama ya sehemu za ndani, yale yanayofunika ini, figo zote mbili pamoja na mafuta yake, uviteketeze juu ya madhabahu. 1429:14 Nah 3:6; Mal 2:3; Law 4:12, 21; 16:17; Hes 19:3-5; Ebr 13:11; Hes 4:12, 21Lakini nyama ya huyo fahali na ngozi yake na matumbo yake utavichoma nje ya kambi. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi.
1529:15 2Nya 29:23; 29:18; Mwa 8:21; 2Kor 2:15“Chukua mmoja wa wale kondoo dume, naye Aroni na wanawe wataweka mikono yao juu ya kichwa chake. 16Mchinje huyo kondoo dume, chukua damu yake na uinyunyize pande zote za hayo madhabahu. 17Mkate huyo kondoo dume vipande vipande na usafishe sehemu za ndani pamoja na miguu, ukiviweka pamoja na kichwa na vipande vingine. 1829:18 Mwa 8:21; 2Kor 2:15Kisha mteketeze huyo kondoo dume mzima juu ya madhabahu. Hii ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Bwana, harufu ya kupendeza, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto.
1929:19 Kut 30:25; Law 8:30“Mchukue yule kondoo dume mwingine, naye Aroni na wanawe waweke mikono yao juu ya kichwa chake. 2029:20 Law 14:14, 25; 1:5; 3:2Mchinje, uchukue sehemu ya damu yake na kuipaka kwenye masikio ya Aroni na wanawe, kwenye vidole gumba vya mikono yao ya kuume, pia kwenye vidole gumba vya miguu yao ya kuume. Kisha nyunyiza hiyo damu pande zote za madhabahu. 2129:21 Ebr 9:22; Kut 30:25-31Pia chukua sehemu ya damu iliyo juu ya madhabahu na sehemu ya mafuta ya upako, umnyunyizie Aroni na mavazi yake, pia wanawe na mavazi yao. Ndipo Aroni na wanawe pamoja na mavazi yao watakuwa wamewekwa wakfu.
22“Chukua mafuta ya huyu kondoo dume, mafuta ya mkia, mafuta ya sehemu za ndani yale yanayofunika ini, figo zote mbili na mafuta yake, pamoja na paja la kulia. (Huyo ndiye kondoo dume kwa ajili ya kuwaweka wakfu.) 2329:23 Law 8:26Kutoka kwenye kile kikapu chenye mikate iliyotengenezwa bila chachu, kilichoko mbele za Bwana, chukua mkate, andazi lililokandwa kwa mafuta na mkate mdogo mwembamba. 2429:24 Law 7:30; 9:21; 10:15; 14:12; 23:11, 20; Hes 6:20; 8:11-15Viweke vitu hivi vyote mikononi mwa Aroni na wanawe na uviinue mbele za Bwana kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa. 2529:25 Law 8:28Kisha vichukue vitu hivyo kutoka mikononi mwao, uviteketeze juu ya madhabahu pamoja na sadaka ya kuteketezwa kuwa harufu nzuri ya kupendeza kwa Bwana, sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto. 2629:26 Law 7:31-34Baada ya kuchukua kidari cha huyo kondoo dume wa kuwekwa wakfu kwa Aroni, kiinue mbele za Bwana kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa, nayo itakuwa fungu lako.
2729:27 Kut 22:29; Law 7:31-34; Hes 18:11-12; Kum 18:3“Weka wakfu zile sehemu za kondoo dume aliyetumika kwa kumweka wakfu Aroni na wanawe: kidari kile kilichoinuliwa na lile paja lililotolewa. 2829:28 Law 7:30-34; 10:15Siku zote hili litakuwa fungu la kawaida kutoka kwa Waisraeli kwa ajili ya Aroni na wanawe. Hili ni toleo la Waisraeli watakalotoa kwa Bwana kutoka sadaka zao za amani.
2929:29 Kut 28:2; Law 16:4; Hes 20:28“Mavazi matakatifu ya Aroni yatakuwa ya wazao wake ili kwamba waweze kutiwa mafuta na kuwekwa wakfu wakiwa wameyavaa. 3029:30 Law 6:22; Hes 3:3; 20:28Mwana atakayeingia mahali pake kuwa kuhani na kuja kwenye Hema la Kukutania kuhudumu katika Mahali Patakatifu atayavaa kwa siku saba.
3129:31 Law 7:37; 2Nya 13:9; Law 10:14; Hes 19:9; Eze 42:13“Chukua nyama ya huyo kondoo dume wa kuwaweka wakfu uipike katika Mahali Patakatifu. 3229:32 Mt 12:4Aroni na wanawe wataila ile nyama ya huyo kondoo dume pamoja na ile mikate iliyo kwenye hicho kikapu wakiwa hapo ingilio la Hema la Kukutania. 3329:33 Law 22:10-13Watakula sadaka hizi ambazo upatanisho ulifanywa kwazo kwa ajili ya kuwaweka wakfu na kuwatakasa. Lakini hakuna mtu mwingine yeyote anayeruhusiwa kuvila, kwa sababu ni vitakatifu. 3429:34 Kut 12; 10Ikiwa nyama yoyote ya huyo kondoo dume iliyotumika kwa kuwaweka wakfu au mkate wowote umebaki mpaka asubuhi, vichomwe. Kamwe visiliwe, kwa sababu ni vitakatifu.
3529:35 Law 8:33“Hivyo utamfanyia Aroni na wanawe kila kitu kama vile nilivyokuamuru: Utachukua muda wa siku saba kuwaweka wakfu. 3629:36 Ebr 10:11; Kut 30:10; Law 1:4; 4:20; 16:16; Hes 6:11; 8:12-19; 16:46; 23:25; 2Nya 29:24; Hes 7:10; Kut 40:10Utatoa dhabihu ya fahali kila siku kuwa sadaka ya dhambi ili kufanya upatanisho. Takasa madhabahu kwa kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, nayo uitie mafuta na kuiweka wakfu. 3729:37 Kut 30:28-29; 40:10; Eze 43:25; Mt 23:19Kwa muda wa siku saba fanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya madhabahu na kuiweka wakfu. Ndipo madhabahu itakuwa takatifu sana na chochote kitakachoigusa kitakuwa kitakatifu.
