Exodus 29:6-26 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

6. Put the turban on his head and the special crown around the turban.

7. Take the anointing oil and pour it on Aaron’s head. This will show that he is chosen for this work.

8. “Then bring Aaron’s sons to that place. Put the white woven robes on them.

9. Then tie cloth belts around their waists, and give them cloth caps to wear. At that time they will begin to be priests. They will be priests because of the special law that will continue forever. This is the way you will make Aaron and his sons priests.

10. “Then bring the bull to that place at the front of the Meeting Tent. Aaron and his sons must put their hands on the bull’s head.

11. Then kill the bull there in the Lord’S presence at the entrance to the Meeting Tent.

12. Then take some of the bull’s blood and go to the altar. Use your finger to put some blood on the horns of the altar. Pour out all the blood that is left at the bottom of the altar.

13. Then take all the fat from inside the bull, the fatty part of the liver, both kidneys, and the fat around them. Burn this fat on the altar.

14. Then take the bull’s meat, his skin, and his other parts and go outside your camp and burn them. This bull is an offering to take away the sins of the priests.

15. “Then tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of one of the rams.

16. Kill that ram and save the blood. Throw the blood against the altar on all four sides.

17. Then cut the ram into several pieces. Wash all the parts from inside the ram and the legs. Put these things with the head and the other pieces of the ram.

18. Then burn everything on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a sweet-smelling gift to the Lord.

19. “Tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the other ram.

20. Kill that ram and save some of its blood. Put that blood on the right ear lobes of Aaron and his sons. Also put some of the blood on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet. Then throw blood against all four sides of the altar.

21. Then take some of the blood from the altar. Mix it with the special oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes. And sprinkle it on his sons and their clothes. This will show that Aaron and his sons serve me in a special way. And it will show that their clothes are used only at special times.

22. “Then take the fat from the ram. (This is the ram that will be used in the ceremony to make Aaron the high priest.) Take the fat from around the tail and the fat that covers the organs inside the body. Then take the fat that covers the liver, both kidneys and the fat on them, and the right leg.

23. Then take the basket of bread that you made without yeast. This is the basket you put before the Lord. Take these things out of the basket: one loaf of bread, one cake made with oil, and one small thin cake.

24. Give them to Aaron and his sons. Tell them to hold these things in their hands before the Lord. This will be a special offering to the Lord.

25. Then take them from Aaron and his sons and put them on the altar with the ram. Then burn everything on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a sweet-smelling gift to the Lord.

26. “Then take the breast from the ram. (This is the ram that will be used in the ceremony to make Aaron the high priest.) Hold the breast of the ram before the Lord as a special offering. Then take it back and keep it. This part of the animal will be for you.
