Exodus 29:1-9

The Consecration of the Priests and the LORD’s Promise to Dwell Among Israel

The LORD gives the procedure for consecrating Aaron and his sons: preparing sacrificial animals and bread, washing the priests, clothing Aaron, anointing him, clothing his sons, offering a bull as a sin offering, offering one ram as a burnt offering, offering another ram as an ordination offering, applying blood to the priests, waving and burning portions before the LORD, eating the ordination meal, repeating the consecration for seven days, offering daily burnt offerings, consecrating the altar, and receiving the LORD’s promise to meet, sanctify, dwell, and be Israel’s God.

1“Now this is what you are to do to consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without blemish,

2along with unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil. Make them out of fine wheat flour,

3put them in a basket, and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams.

4Then present Aaron and his sons at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

5Take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastplate. Fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband.

6Put the turban on his head and attach the holy diadem to the turban.

7Then take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.

8Present his sons as well and clothe them with tunics.

9Wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and tie headbands on them. The priesthood shall be theirs by a permanent statute. In this way you are to ordain Aaron and his sons.
