Exodus 29

This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the priest’s office: take one young bull and two rams without blemish, 2unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine wheat flour. 3You shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams. 4You shall bring Harun and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water. 5You shall take the garments, and put on Harun the coat, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and dress him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod; 6and you shall set the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban. 7Then you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him. 8You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them. 9You shall dress them with belts, Harun and his sons, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Harun and his sons.

10You shall bring the bull before the tent of meeting: and Harun and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull. 11You shall kill the bull before Allah, at the door of the tent of meeting. 12You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar. 13You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar. 14But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin-offering.

15You shall also take the one ram; and Harun and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. 16You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar. 17You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head. 18You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to Allah; it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire to Allah.

19You shall take the other ram; and Harun and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. 20Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of Harun, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood on the altar all around. 21You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Harun, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him. 22Also you shall take some of the ram’s fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration), 23and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Allah. 24You shall put all of this in Harun’s hands, and in his sons’ hands, and shall wave them for a wave-offering before Allah. 25You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a sweet savour before Allah: it is an offering made by fire to Allah.

26You shall take the breast of Harun’s ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave-offering before Allah: and it shall be your portion. 27You shall sanctify the breast of the wave-offering, and the thigh of the offering, which is waved, and which is offered up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Harun, and of that which is for his sons: 28and it shall be for Harun and his sons as their portion forever from Bani-Israel; for it is an offering: and it shall be an offering from Bani-Israel of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, even their offering to Allah.

29The holy garments of Harun shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them. 30Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them on, when he comes into the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place.

31You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its meat in a holy place. 32Harun and his sons shall eat the meat of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tent of meeting. 33They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy. 34If anything of the meat of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

35Thus shall you do to Harun, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. Seven days you shall consecrate them. 36Every day you shall offer the bull of sin-offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it. 37Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

38Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually. 39The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening: 40and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink-offering. 41The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to its drink-offering, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire to Allah. 42It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before Allah, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you. 43There I will meet with Bani-Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory. 44I will sanctify the tent of meeting and the altar: Harun also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest’s office. 45I will dwell among Bani-Israel, and will be their God. 46They shall know that I am Allah their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Allah their God.
