Exodus 29

vezeh haddavar asher-ta'aseh lahem leqaddesh otam lekhahen li leqakh par ekhad ben-baqar ve'elim shenayim temimim

This is what you shall do to them in consecrating them to serve Me as priests: Take a young bull of the herd and two rams without blemish;

velekhem matsot vekhallot matsot belulot bashemen ureqiqe matsot meshukhim bashamen solet khittim ta'aseh otam

also unleavened bread, unleavened cakes with oil mixed in, and unleavened wafers spread with oil—make these of choice wheat flour.

venatatta otam al-sal ekhad vehiqravta otam bassal ve'et-happar ve'et shene ha'elim

Place these in one basket and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams.

ve'et-aharon ve'et-banayw taqriv el-petakh ohel mo'ed verakhatsta otam bammayim

Lead Aaron and his sons up to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and wash them with water.

velaqakhta et-habbegadim vehilbashta et-aharon et-hakkuttonet ve'et me'il ha'efod ve'et-ha'efod ve'et-hakhoshen ve'afadta lo bekheshev ha'efod

Then take the vestments, and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastpiece, and gird him with the decorated band of the ephod.

vesamta hammitsnefet al-rosho venatatta et-nezer haqqodesh al-hammitsnafet

Put the headdress on his head, and place the holy diadem upon the headdress.

velaqakhta et-shemen hammishkhah veyatsaqta al-rosho umashakhta oto

Take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.

ve'et-banayw taqriv vehilbashtam kuttonot

Then bring his sons forward; clothe them with tunics

vekhagarta otam avnet aharon uvanayw vekhavashta lahem migba'ot vehayetah lahem kehunnah lekhuqqat olam umilleta yad-aharon veyad-banayw

and wind turbans upon them. And gird both Aaron and his sons with sashes. And so they shall have priesthood as their right for all time. You shall then ordain Aaron and his sons.

vehiqravta et-happar lifne ohel mo'ed vesamakh aharon uvanayw et-yedehem al-rosh happar

Lead the bull up to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and let Aaron and his sons lay their hands upon the head of the bull.

veshakhatta et-happar lifne Adonai petakh ohel mo'ed

Slaughter the bull before GOD, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting,

velaqakhta middam happar venatattah al-qarnot hammizbeakh be'etsba'ekha ve'et-kol-haddam tishpokh el-yesod hammizbeakh

and take some of the bull’s blood and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; then pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

velaqakhta et-kol-hakhelev hamekhasseh et-haqqerev ve'et hayyoteret al-hakkaved ve'et shete hakkelayot ve'et-hakhelev asher alehen vehiqtarta hammizbekhah

Take all the fat that covers the entrails, the protuberance on the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and turn them into smoke upon the altar.

ve'et-besar happar ve'et-oro ve'et-pirsho tisrof ba'esh mikhuts lammakhaneh khattat hu

The rest of the flesh of the bull, its hide, and its dung shall be put to the fire outside the camp; it is a purgation offering.

ve'et-ha'ayil ha'ekhad tiqqakh vesamekhu aharon uvanayw et-yedehem al-rosh ha'ayil

Next take the one ram, and let Aaron and his sons lay their hands upon the ram’s head.

veshakhatta et-ha'ayil velaqakhta et-damo vezaraqta al-hammizbeakh saviv

Slaughter the ram, and take its blood and dash it against all sides of the altar.

ve'et-ha'ayil tenatteakh lintakhayw verakhatsta qirbo ukhera'ayw venatatta al-netakhayw ve'al-rosho

Cut up the ram into sections, wash its entrails and legs, and put them with its quarters and its head.

vehiqtarta et-kol-ha'ayil hammizbekhah olah hu la-Adonai reakh nikhoakh isheh la-Adonai hu

Turn all of the ram into smoke upon the altar. It is a burnt offering to GOD, a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to GOD.

velaqakhta et ha'ayil hasheni vesamakh aharon uvanayw et-yedehem al-rosh ha'ayil

Then take the other ram, and let Aaron and his sons lay their hands upon the ram’s head.

veshakhatta et-ha'ayil velaqakhta middamo venatattah al-tenukh ozen aharon ve'al-tenukh ozen banayw hayemanit ve'al-bohen yadam hayemanit ve'al-bohen raglam hayemanit vezaraqta et-haddam al-hammizbeakh saviv

Slaughter the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the ridge of Aaron’s right ear and on the ridges of his sons’ right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet; and dash the rest of the blood against every side of the altar round about.

velaqakhta min-haddam asher al-hammizbeakh umishemen hammishkhah vehizzeta al-aharon ve'al-begadayw ve'al-banayw ve'al-bigde vanayw itto veqadash hu uvegadayw uvanayw uvigde vanayw itto

Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle upon Aaron and his vestments, and also upon his sons and his sons’ vestments. Thus shall he and his vestments be holy, as well as his sons and his sons’ vestments.

velaqakhta min-ha'ayil hakhelev veha'alyah ve'et-hakhelev hamekhasseh et-haqqerev ve'et yoteret hakkaved ve'et shete hakkelayot ve'et-hakhelev asher alehen ve'et shoq hayyamin ki el millu'im hu

You shall take from the ram the fat parts—the broad tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the protuberance on the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them—and the right thigh; for this is a ram of ordination.

vekhikkar lekhem akhat vekhallat lekhem shemen akhat veraqiq ekhad missal hammatsot asher lifne Adonai

Add one flat loaf of bread, one cake of oil bread, and one wafer, from the basket of unleavened bread that is before GOD.

vesamta hakkol al kappe aharon ve'al kappe vanayw vehenafta otam tenufah lifne Adonai

Place all these on the palms of Aaron and his sons, and offer them as an elevation offering before GOD.

velaqakhta otam miyyadam vehiqtarta hammizbekhah al-ha'olah lereakh nikhoakh lifne Adonai isheh hu la-Adonai

Take them from their hands and turn them into smoke upon the altar with the burnt offering, as a pleasing odor before GOD; it is an offering by fire to GOD.

velaqakhta et-hekhazeh me'el hammillu'im asher le'aharon vehenafta oto tenufah lifne Adonai vehayah lekha lemanah

Then take the breast of Aaron’s ram of ordination and offer it as an elevation offering before GOD; it shall be your portion.

veqiddashta et khazeh hattenufah ve'et shoq hatterumah asher hunaf va'asher huram me'el hammillu'im me'asher le'aharon ume'asher levanayw

You shall consecrate the breast that was offered as an elevation offering and the thigh that was offered as a gift offering from the ram of ordination—from that which was Aaron’s and from that which was his sons’—

vehayah le'aharon ulevanayw lekhoq-olam me'et bene yisra'el ki terumah hu uterumah yihyeh me'et bene-yisra'el mizzivkhe shalmehem terumatam la-Adonai

and those parts shall be a due for all time from the Israelites to Aaron and his sons. For they are a gift; and so shall they be a gift from the Israelites, their gift to GOD out of their sacrifices of well-being.

uvigde haqqodesh asher le'aharon yihyu levanayw akharayw lemoshkhah vahem ulemalle-vam et-yadam

The sacral vestments of Aaron shall pass on to his sons after him, for them to be anointed and ordained in.

shivat yamim yilbasham hakkohen takhtayw mibbanayw asher yavo el-ohel mo'ed lesharet baqqodesh

He among his sons who becomes priest in his stead, who enters the Tent of Meeting to officiate within the sanctuary, shall wear them seven days.

ve'et el hammillu'im tiqqakh uvishalta et-besaro bemaqom qadosh

You shall take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in the sacred precinct;

ve'akhal aharon uvanayw et-besar ha'ayil ve'et-hallekhem asher bassal petakh ohel mo'ed

and Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

ve'okhlu otam asher kuppar bahem lemalle et-yadam leqaddesh otam vezar lo-yokhal ki-qodesh hem

These things shall be eaten only by those for whom expiation was made with them when they were ordained and consecrated; they may not be eaten by a lay person, for they are holy.

ve'im-yivvater mibbesar hammillu'im umin-hallekhem ad-habboqer vesarafta et-hannotar ba'esh lo ye'akhel ki-qodesh hu

And if any of the flesh of ordination, or any of the bread, is left until morning, you shall put what is left to the fire; it shall not be eaten, for it is holy.

ve'asita le'aharon ulevanayw kakhah kekhol asher-tsivviti otakhah shivat yamim temalle yadam

Thus you shall do to Aaron and his sons, just as I have commanded you. You shall ordain them through seven days,

ufar khattat ta'aseh layyom al-hakkippurim vekhitteta al-hammizbeakh bekhapperkha alayw umashakhta oto leqaddesho

and each day you shall prepare a bull as a purgation offering for expiation; you shall purge the altar by performing purification upon it, and you shall anoint it to consecrate it.

shivat yamim tekhapper al-hammizbeakh veqiddashta oto vehayah hammizbeakh qodesh qodashim kol-hannogea bammizbeakh yiqdash

Seven days you shall perform purification for the altar to consecrate it, and the altar shall become most holy; whatever touches the altar shall become consecrated.

vezeh asher ta'aseh al-hammizbeakh kevasim bene-shanah shenayim layyom tamid

Now this is what you shall offer upon the altar: two yearling lambs each day, regularly.

et-hakkeves ha'ekhad ta'aseh vabboqer ve'et hakkeves hasheni ta'aseh ben ha'arbayim

You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and you shall offer the other lamb at twilight.

ve'issaron solet balul beshemen katit reva hahin venesekh revi'it hahin yayin lakkeves ha'ekhad

There shall be a tenth of a measure of choice flour with a quarter of a hin of beaten oil mixed in, and a libation of a quarter hin of wine for one lamb;

ve'et hakkeves hasheni ta'aseh ben ha'arbayim keminkhat habboqer ukheniskah ta'aseh-llah lereakh nikhoakh isheh la-Adonai

and you shall offer the other lamb at twilight, repeating with it the grain offering of the morning with its libation—an offering by fire for a pleasing odor to GOD,

olat tamid ledorotekhem petakh ohel-mo'ed lifne Adonai asher ivva'ed lakhem shammah ledabber elekha sham

a regular burnt offering throughout the generations, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before GOD. For there I will meet with you, and there I will speak with you,

veno'adti shammah livne yisra'el veniqdash bikhvodi

and there I will meet with the Israelites, and it shall be sanctified by My Presence.

veqiddashti et-ohel mo'ed ve'et-hammizbeakh ve'et-aharon ve'et-banayw aqaddesh lekhahen li

I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests.

veshakhanti betokh bene yisra'el vehayiti lahem lelohim

I will abide among the Israelites, and I will be their God.

veyade'u ki ani Adonai elohehem asher hotseti otam me'erets mitsrayim leshokhni vetokham ani Adonai elohehem

And they shall know that I the ETERNAL am their God, who brought them out from the land of Egypt that I might abide among them—I, the ETERNAL, their God.
