[28:31] "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. [28:32] It shall have a hole for the head in its midst: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn. [28:33] On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between and around them: [28:34] a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe. [28:35] It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die.

[28:36] "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLY TO YAHWEH.' [28:37] You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash; on the front of the sash it shall be. [28:38] It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh. [28:39] You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.

[28:40] "You shall make coats for Aaron's sons, and you shall make sashes for them and you shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty. [28:41] You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office. [28:42] You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the waist even to the thighs they shall reach: [28:43] They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they don't bear iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.

[29:1] "This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the priest's office: take one young bull and two rams without blemish, [29:2] unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine wheat flour. [29:3] You shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams. [29:4] You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water. [29:5] You shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the coat, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and dress him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod; [29:6] and you shall set the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban. [29:7] Then you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him. [29:8] You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them. [29:9] You shall dress them with belts, Aaron and his sons, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

[29:10] "You shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull. [29:11] You shall kill the bull before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. [29:12] You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar. [29:13] You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar. [29:14] But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.

[29:15] "You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. [29:16] You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar. [29:17] You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head. [29:18] You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

[29:19] "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. [29:20] Then 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 big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar. [29:21] You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and 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: and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him. [29:22] Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration), [29:23] and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh. [29:24] You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his sons' hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh. [29:25] You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

[29:26] "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be your portion. [29:27] You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons: [29:28] and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering: and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to Yahweh.

[29:29] "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them. [29:30] Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.

[29:31] "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place. [29:32] Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. [29:33] They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy. [29:34] If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
