Exodus 29:1-9 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. When you ordain one of Aaron's sons as my priest, choose a young bull and two rams that have nothing wrong with them.

2. Then from your finest flour make three batches of dough without yeast. Shape some of it into larger loaves, some into smaller loaves mixed with olive oil, and the rest into thin wafers brushed with oil.

3. Put all this bread in a basket and bring it when you come to sacrifice the three animals to me.

4. Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the sacred tent and make them wash themselves.

5. Dress Aaron in the priestly shirt, the robe that goes under the sacred apron, the apron itself, the breastpiece, and the sash.

6. Put on his turban with its narrow strip of engraved gold

7. and then ordain him by pouring olive oil on his head.

8. Next, dress Aaron's sons in their special shirts

9. and caps and their sashes, then ordain them, because they and their descendants will always be priests.
