New Testament

Exodus 29:9-28 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. You shall gird them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and put the headbands on them, and the priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute. Thus you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

10. Then you shall bring a bull before the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bull.

11. You shall kill the bull before the Lord by the door of the tent of meeting.

12. You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.

13. You shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the lobe that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

14. But the flesh of the bull, its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering.

15. You shall also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.

16. You shall slay the ram, and you shall take its blood and sprinkle it around on the altar.

17. Then you shall cut the ram in pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with its pieces and its head.

18. You shall burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a soothing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

19. Then you shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.

20. You shall kill the ram and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

21. You shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him. So he and his garments shall be consecrated, along with his sons and his sons’ garments with him.

22. Also you shall take the fat and the rump of the ram, and the fat that covers the entrails and the lobe above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them and the right shoulder (for it is a ram of consecration),

23. and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord.

24. And you shall put all of these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons, and shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord.

25. Then you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the altar for a burnt offering, for a soothing aroma before the Lord. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

26. You shall take the breast of Aaron’s ram of consecration, and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord, and it shall be your portion.

27. You shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the priest’s portion that is contributed from the ram of the consecration, from that which was for Aaron and from that which was for his sons.

28. It shall be for Aaron and his sons by a statute forever, for it is a contribution. It shall be a contribution from the children of Israel from their peace offerings, their contributions to the Lord.
