Exodus 29:1-12 New Century Version (NCV)

1. “This is what you must do to appoint Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. Take one young bull and two male sheep that have nothing wrong with them.

2. Use fine wheat flour without yeast to make bread, cakes mixed with olive oil, and wafers brushed with olive oil.

3. Put these in one basket, and bring them along with the bull and two male sheep.

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

5. Take the clothes and dress Aaron in the inner robe and the outer robe of the holy vest. Then put on him the holy vest and the chest covering, and tie the holy vest on him with its skillfully woven belt.

6. Put the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.

7. Take the special olive oil and pour it on his head to make him a priest.

8. “Then bring his sons and put the inner robes on them.

9. Put the headbands on their heads, and tie cloth belts around their waists. Aaron and his descendants will be priests in Israel, according to a rule that will continue from now on. This is how you will appoint Aaron and his sons as priests.

10. “Bring the bull to the front of the Meeting Tent, and Aaron and his sons must put their hands on the bull’s head.

11. Then kill the bull before the Lord at the entrance to the Meeting Tent.

12. Use your finger to put some of the bull’s blood on the corners of the altar, and then pour the blood that is left at the bottom of the altar.
