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.
立祭司的條例
1「你要使亞倫父子們分別出來，做聖潔的祭司事奉我。做法如下：你要選一頭公牛犢和兩隻毫無殘疾的公綿羊， 2用細麵粉預備無酵餅、調上油的無酵餅和塗上油的無酵薄餅。 3所有的餅都要用一個籃子盛，連同公牛和綿羊一起帶到會幕那裡。 4你要把亞倫父子們帶到會幕門口，用水洗他們， 5然後給亞倫穿上內袍、以弗得和以弗得的外袍，戴上胸牌，束上精緻的以弗得帶子， 6戴上禮冠，把聖冠29·6 「聖冠」應指28章提到的金牌。繫在禮冠上。 7之後，把膏油倒在他頭上，立他為祭司。 8接著輪到亞倫的兒子們，要給他們穿上內袍， 9為他們束上腰帶，戴上頭巾，他們就按永遠的律例得到祭司的職分。你要這樣把聖職授予他們。
10「你要把公牛牽到會幕前面，亞倫父子們要把手按在公牛頭上。 11你要在會幕門前，在耶和華面前宰公牛。 12要取些公牛的血帶到祭壇那裡，用手指把血抹在祭壇凸起的四角上，再把剩下的血倒在壇腳。 13再把包裹內臟的脂肪、肝葉、兩個腎臟和腎臟上的脂肪都放在祭壇上燒掉。 14但公牛的皮、肉和糞要拿到營外焚燒。這是贖罪祭。
15「要把一隻公綿羊牽來，亞倫父子們要把手按在羊頭上， 16然後你要宰羊，把血灑在祭壇四周。 17再把羊切成塊狀，用水洗淨所有的內臟和腿，跟肉塊和頭放在一起。 18然後，把整隻羊放在祭壇上焚燒，這是獻給耶和華的燔祭，是蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭。
19「你要把另一隻公綿羊牽來，亞倫父子們要把手按在羊頭上， 20然後你要宰羊，取一點血塗在亞倫和他兒子們的右耳垂、右手大拇指和右腳大腳趾上，剩下的血就灑在祭壇四周。 21再從祭壇上取些血，與膏油一起灑在亞倫父子及其衣服上。這樣，他們和他們的衣服就會變得聖潔。
22「你要取出羊的脂肪、肥尾巴、包裹內臟的脂肪、肝葉、兩個腎臟、腎臟上的脂肪和右腿，因為這是授聖職時所獻的羊。 23再從耶和華面前裝無酵餅的籃子裡取一個餅、一個油餅和一個薄餅。 24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。 25然後，你要把這些祭物接過來，放在祭壇的燔祭上焚燒獻給耶和華，成為蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭。 26你要拿起亞倫承受聖職時所獻的那只公綿羊的胸肉，作為搖祭在耶和華面前搖一搖。之後，這份祭肉就歸你。
27「你要將屬於亞倫父子們、授聖職時所獻公綿羊的搖祭胸肉和舉祭腿肉分別出來，使之聖潔。 28這些祭物要從以色列人所獻的平安祭中取出來，歸給亞倫父子們，作為永遠的定例。這是以色列人當向耶和華獻的祭物。
29「亞倫的聖衣要留給他的子孫，他們可以穿上這聖衣受膏，承受聖職。 30接替亞倫做祭司的那位後裔，每次進會幕的聖所供職時，都要一連七天穿著聖衣。
31「你要在聖潔的地方煮授聖職時所用的公綿羊肉。 32亞倫父子們可以在會幕的門前吃這公綿羊祭肉和籃內的餅。 33他們要吃這些在授聖職時用來贖罪、使他們聖潔的祭物。但祭司以外的人不能吃，因為這些是聖物。 34若有授聖職時所獻的肉或餅留到早晨，就要燒掉，不可再吃，因為這些都是聖物。
35「你要照我的吩咐，為亞倫父子們舉行授聖職禮，歷時七天。 36每天要獻一頭公牛作贖罪祭，來潔淨祭壇，然後用膏油抹祭壇，使祭壇聖潔。 37連續七天都要這樣做，使祭壇完全聖潔，凡是碰到祭壇的都變得聖潔。
38「你每天要在祭壇上獻兩隻一歲的公羊羔， 39早晨和黃昏各獻一隻。 40要用一公斤細麵粉調一升橄欖油做成素祭，與早晨獻的羊羔一同獻上，再獻上一升酒作奠祭。 41黃昏獻第二隻羊時，也要跟早晨一樣同時獻上素祭和奠祭，作為蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭。
42「你們世世代代要不斷地在我面前獻上燔祭，祭禮要在會幕門前舉行，這會幕就是我跟你們會面交談的地方。 43我要在那裡和以色列人相會，我的榮耀將使會幕聖潔。
44「我要使會幕和祭壇聖潔，也要使亞倫父子們聖潔，做祭司事奉我。 45我要住在以色列人中間，做他們的上帝。 46他們必知道我是他們的上帝耶和華。我帶領他們離開埃及，就是為了要住在他們中間。我是他們的上帝耶和華。
