9 P ut belts on Aaron and his sons. Tie head coverings on them. And they will be religious leaders by law for all time. So you will set apart Aaron and his sons for My work.

and hast girded them a girdle (Aaron and his sons), and hast bound on them bonnets; and the priesthood hath been theirs by a statute age-during, and thou hast consecrated the hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons,

10 “ Then bring the bull in front of the meeting tent. Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the bull.

and hast brought near the bullock before the tent of meeting, and Aaron hath laid -- his sons also -- their hands on the head of the bullock.

13 T ake all the fat that covers the inside parts, and the part that is on the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

15 “ Then take one of the rams and have Aaron and his sons lay their hands on the head of the ram.

`And the one ram thou dost take, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram,

16 K ill the ram and take its blood and put it around the altar.

and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken its blood, and hast sprinkled on the altar round about,

17 C ut the ram into pieces. Wash its inside parts and its legs. And put them with its pieces and its head.

and the ram thou dost cut into its pieces, and hast washed its inwards, and its legs, and hast put on its pieces, and on its head;

18 B urn the whole ram on the altar for a burnt gift in worship to the Lord. It is a pleasing smell, a gift by fire to the Lord.

19 “ Then take the other ram and have Aaron and his sons lay their hands on the ram’s head.

`And thou hast taken the second ram, and Aaron hath laid -- his sons also -- their hands on the head of the ram,

20 K ill the ram and put some of its blood on the bottom of Aaron’s right ear, on the bottom of his sons’ right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Put the rest of the blood around the altar.

22 T ake the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers the inside parts, the part that is on the liver, the two kidneys with their fat, and the fat that is on the right thigh. For it is a ram used to set apart those who work for Me.

`And thou hast taken from the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the inwards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which on them, and the right leg, for it a ram of consecration,

23 A nd take one loaf of bread, and one loaf of bread mixed with oil, and one piece of hard bread from the basket of bread without yeast that is set before the Lord.

24 P ut all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons. They will wave them for a wave gift before the Lord.

`And thou hast set the whole on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and hast waved them -- a wave-offering before Jehovah;

25 T hen take them from their hands and burn them on the altar for a burnt gift in worship. It is a pleasing smell before the Lord. It is a gift by fire to the Lord.

and thou hast taken them out of their hand, and hast made perfume on the altar beside the burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance before Jehovah; a fire-offering it to Jehovah.

26 “ Take the breast of Aaron’s ram used to set him apart. Wave it as a wave gift before the Lord. And it will be your share.

`And thou hast taken the breast from the ram of the consecration which for Aaron, and hast waved it -- a wave-offering before Jehovah, and it hath become thy portion;

27 T hen set apart the breast of the wave gift and the thigh that was waved and given from the ram used to set apart those who work for Me. One was for Aaron and one for his sons.

and thou hast sanctified the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the heave-offering, which hath been waved, and which hath been lifted up from the ram of the consecration, of that which for Aaron, and of that which for his sons;

28 I t will be for Aaron and his sons as their share forever from the people of Israel. For it is the religious leaders’ share to be given by the people of Israel from their peace gifts. It is their gift to the Lord.

and it hath been for Aaron and for his sons, by a statute age-during from the sons of Israel, for it a heave-offering; and it is a heave offering from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings -- their heave-offering to Jehovah.

29 “ The holy clothing of Aaron will be for his sons after him. They will wear them when the oil for holy use is poured on them and they are set apart for My work.

`And the holy garments which are Aaron's, are for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to consecrate in them their hand;

30 T he son who takes his place as religious leader will wear them seven days as he goes into the meeting tent to serve in the holy place.

seven days doth the priest in his stead (of his sons) put them on, when he goeth in unto the tent of meeting, to minister in the sanctuary.

31 “ Take the ram used to set apart those who work for Me and boil its flesh in a holy place.

`And the ram of the consecration thou dost take, and hast boiled its flesh in the holy place;

32 A aron and his sons will eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the meeting tent.

and Aaron hath eaten -- his sons also -- the flesh of the ram, and the bread which in the basket, at the opening of the tent of meeting;

33 T hey will eat those things that were used in worship when they were forgiven of their sin and when they were set apart for My work. But one who is not a religious leader may not eat them, because they are holy.

and they have eaten those things by which there is atonement to consecrate their hand, to sanctify them; and a stranger doth not eat -- for they holy;

34 I f any of the meat or bread used to set apart those who work for Me is left until morning, it must be burned. It must not be eaten, because it is holy.

and if there be left of the flesh of the consecration or of the bread till the morning, then thou hast burned that which is left with fire; it is not eaten, for it holy.

35 “ Do to Aaron and his sons all I have told you. For seven days you will set them apart for My work.

`And thou hast done thus to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee; seven days thou dost consecrate their hand;

36 G ive a bull each day for a sin gift, to take away sin. Make the altar clean by taking sin away from it and pour special oil on it to set it apart for Me.

and a bullock, a sin-offering, thou dost prepare daily for the atonements, and thou hast atoned for the altar, in thy making atonement on it, and hast anointed it to sanctify it;

37 F or seven days give gifts upon the altar to take away sin and set it apart for Me. Then the altar will be most holy. And whatever touches the altar will be holy. The Gifts Given Each Day

seven days thou dost make atonement for the altar, and hast sanctified it, and the altar hath been most holy; all that is coming against the altar is holy.

38 “ Now this is what you will give on the altar: Two lambs one year old, given every day.

`And this that which thou dost prepare on the altar; two lambs, sons of a year, daily continually;

39 G ive one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb in the evening.

the one lamb thou dost prepare in the morning, and the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings;

40 W ith the first lamb give a jar of fine flour mixed with a half jar of beaten oil, and a half jar of wine to be poured out.

and a tenth of fine flour, mixed with beaten oil, a fourth part of a hin, and a libation, a fourth part of a hin, of wine, for the one lamb.

41 G ive the other lamb in the evening. Do it with a grain gift and a gift to pour out as in the morning. It has a pleasing smell, a gift by fire to the Lord.

`And the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings; according to the present of the morning, and according to its libation, thou dost prepare for it, for sweet fragrance, a fire-offering, to Jehovah: --

42 F or all time to come this burnt gift is to be given at the door of the meeting tent before the Lord. There I will meet with you and speak to you.

a continual burnt-offering for your generations, at the opening of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah, whither I am met with you, to speak unto thee there,

43 I will meet there with the people of Israel. It will be set apart by My shining-greatness.

and I have met there with the sons of Israel, and it hath been sanctified by My honour.

44 I will set apart the meeting tent and the altar. And I will set apart Aaron and his sons to work as religious leaders for Me.

`And I have sanctified the tent of meeting, and the altar, and Aaron and his sons I sanctify for being priests to Me,

45 I will live among the people of Israel and will be their God.

and I have tabernacled in the midst of the sons of Israel, and have become their God,

46 T hey will know that I am the Lord their God, Who brought them out of the land of Egypt to live among them. I am the Lord their God.

and they have known that I Jehovah their God, who hath brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I may tabernacle in their midst; I Jehovah their God.
