Consagración de los sacerdotes(A)

29 »Para consagrarlos como mis sacerdotes, esto es lo que debes hacer con ellos: toma un becerro y dos carneros que no tengan ningún defecto; con la mejor harina de trigo, haz panes y tortas sin levadura, amasadas con aceite, y hojuelas sin levadura rociadas con aceite, y ponlos en un canastillo para llevarlos al santuario, junto con el becerro y los dos carneros. Luego lleva a Aarón y a sus hijos a la entrada de la tienda del encuentro, y haz que se bañen; toma después las ropas sacerdotales, y viste a Aarón con la túnica y la capa del efod, y con el efod mismo y el pectoral. Ajústale el cinturón del efod; ponle el turbante en la cabeza y, sobre el turbante, la placa que lo consagra como sacerdote. Toma entonces el aceite de consagrar, y consagra a Aarón como sacerdote, derramando el aceite sobre su cabeza. Haz también que se acerquen sus hijos, y vístelos con las túnicas. Tanto a Aarón como a ellos les ajustarás el cinturón y les acomodarás el turbante. De esta manera les darás plena autoridad, y su sacerdocio será una ley permanente.

10 »Después lleva el becerro hasta la tienda del encuentro, para que Aarón y sus hijos pongan las manos sobre la cabeza del animal, 11 y allí, ante el Señor, a la entrada de la tienda del encuentro, mata al becerro. 12 Toma entonces con el dedo un poco de su sangre y úntala en los cuernos del altar, y derrama al pie del altar toda la sangre que quede. 13 A los intestinos, hígado y riñones, quítales la grasa de que están cubiertos, y quémalos en el altar; 14 pero la carne, la piel y el estiércol del becerro, quémalos en las afueras del campamento, pues es un sacrificio por el pecado.

15 »Toma uno de los dos carneros, y que Aarón y sus hijos le pongan las manos sobre la cabeza. 16 Después mátalo, y rocía con su sangre los costados del altar; 17 luego córtalo en pedazos, lava sus intestinos y sus patas, y ponlas junto con los pedazos y la cabeza. 18 Entonces ofrece el carnero sobre el altar como holocausto en honor del Señor, como ofrenda quemada de olor agradable.

19 »Toma entonces el otro carnero, y que Aarón y sus hijos le pongan las manos sobre la cabeza. 20 Mata el carnero, toma un poco de su sangre y pónsela a Aarón y a sus hijos en la parte inferior de la oreja derecha, en el pulgar de la mano derecha y en el dedo gordo del pie derecho. Luego rocía con el resto de la sangre del carnero los costados del altar. 21 Y de la sangre que quede sobre el altar, y del aceite para consagrar, toma un poco y rocíalos sobre Aarón y sobre su ropa, y sobre sus hijos y la ropa de ellos. Así quedarán consagrados Aarón y sus hijos, lo mismo que sus ropas.

22 »Después toma la grasa que el carnero tiene en la cola y sobre los intestinos y en el hígado, y toma también sus dos riñones y la grasa que los cubre, y su muslo derecho, porque es un carnero para la consagración de sacerdotes. 23 De los panes sin levadura que están en un canastillo ante el Señor, toma un pan redondo, un pan amasado con aceite y una hojuela; 24 pon todo esto en las manos de Aarón y de sus hijos, y celebra el rito de presentación ante el Señor. 25 Luego retira esto de sus manos y quémalo en el altar, junto con el holocausto de aroma agradable al Señor. Es una ofrenda quemada en honor del Señor.

26 »Para la consagración de Aarón, toma también el pecho del carnero y celebra el rito de presentación ante el Señor. A ti te tocará esa parte. 27 Aparta el pecho presentado como ofrenda especial en ese rito, y el muslo que se ofrece como contribución, pues son las partes que del carnero de la consagración se reservan para Aarón y sus hijos. 28 Eso será para Aarón y sus hijos. Es una ley permanente para los israelitas: esta ofrenda será una contribución hecha por los israelitas como sacrificio de reconciliación al Señor.

29 »La ropa sagrada de Aarón la heredarán sus descendientes cuando sean consagrados y reciban plena autoridad como sacerdotes. 30 Y el sacerdote descendiente de Aarón que ocupe su lugar y que entre en la tienda del encuentro para oficiar en el santuario, deberá llevar puesta esa ropa durante siete días.

31 »Toma después el carnero de la consagración, y cuece su carne en un lugar sagrado. 32 Aarón y sus descendientes comerán la carne del carnero y el pan del canastillo, a la entrada de la tienda del encuentro. 33 Los comerán porque fueron ofrecidos para obtener el perdón de sus pecados, cuando fueron consagrados y recibieron plena autoridad como sacerdotes. Pero ningún extraño deberá comer de estas cosas, porque son sagradas. 34 Y si para el día siguiente queda algo del pan y de la carne de la consagración, quema lo que haya quedado, y que nadie lo coma, porque es sagrado.

35 »Haz todo esto con Aarón y sus hijos, de acuerdo con todas mis instrucciones. Dedica siete días a investirlos de autoridad, 36 y ofrece cada día un becerro como sacrificio para obtener el perdón de los pecados; purifica el altar, ofreciendo sobre él un sacrificio por el pecado, y derrama aceite sobre él, para consagrarlo. 37 Durante siete días ofrecerás sobre el altar sacrificios por el pecado; así lo consagrarás a Dios, y será un altar santísimo: cualquier cosa que toque el altar quedará consagrada.

Las ofrendas diarias(B)

38 »Diariamente y sin falta debes ofrecer sobre el altar dos corderos de un año. 39 Uno de ellos lo ofrecerás por la mañana, y el otro lo ofrecerás al atardecer. 40 Con el primer cordero ofrecerás unos dos kilos de la mejor harina, mezclada con un litro de aceite de oliva, y derramarás como ofrenda un litro de vino. 41 Lo mismo harás al atardecer con el otro cordero y con las ofrendas de harina y de vino, ofrendas quemadas de aroma agradable al Señor. 42 Estas ofrendas quemadas en mi honor son las que de padres a hijos se ofrecerán siempre en mi presencia, a la entrada de la tienda del encuentro, que es donde me encontraré contigo para hablarte. 43 Allí me encontraré con los israelitas, y el lugar quedará consagrado por mi presencia. 44 Consagraré la tienda del encuentro y el altar, y consagraré también a Aarón y a sus hijos como sacerdotes míos. 45 Yo viviré entre los israelitas, y seré su Dios. 46 Así sabrán que yo soy el Señor su Dios, el que los sacó de Egipto para vivir entre ellos. Yo soy el Señor su Dios.

Consecration of the Priests(A)

29 “This is what you are to do to consecrate(B) them, so they may serve me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without defect.(C) And from the finest wheat flour make round loaves without yeast, thick loaves without yeast and with olive oil mixed in, and thin loaves without yeast and brushed with olive oil.(D) Put them in a basket and present them along with the bull and the two rams.(E) Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water.(F) Take the garments(G) and dress Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself and the breastpiece. Fasten the ephod on him by its skillfully woven waistband.(H) Put the turban(I) on his head and attach the sacred emblem(J) to the turban. Take the anointing oil(K) and anoint him by pouring it on his head. Bring his sons and dress them in tunics(L) and fasten caps on them. Then tie sashes on Aaron and his sons.[a](M) The priesthood is theirs by a lasting ordinance.(N)

“Then you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.

10 “Bring the bull to the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.(O) 11 Slaughter it in the Lord’s presence(P) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 12 Take some of the bull’s blood and put it on the horns(Q) of the altar with your finger, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar.(R) 13 Then take all the fat(S) on the internal organs,(T) the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar. 14 But burn the bull’s flesh and its hide and its intestines(U) outside the camp.(V) It is a sin offering.[b]

15 “Take one of the rams,(W) and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.(X) 16 Slaughter it and take the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar. 17 Cut the ram into pieces and wash(Y) the internal organs and the legs, putting them with the head and the other pieces. 18 Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma,(Z) a food offering presented to the Lord.

19 “Take the other ram,(AA) and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.(AB) 20 Slaughter it, take some of its blood and put it on the lobes of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet.(AC) Then splash blood against the sides of the altar.(AD) 21 And take some blood(AE) from the altar and some of the anointing oil(AF) and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. Then he and his sons and their garments will be consecrated.(AG)

22 “Take from this ram the fat,(AH) the fat tail, the fat on the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh. (This is the ram for the ordination.) 23 From the basket of bread made without yeast, which is before the Lord, take one round loaf, one thick loaf with olive oil mixed in, and one thin loaf. 24 Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and have them wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.(AI) 25 Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering for a pleasing aroma to the Lord, a food offering presented to the Lord.(AJ) 26 After you take the breast of the ram for Aaron’s ordination, wave it before the Lord as a wave offering, and it will be your share.(AK)

27 “Consecrate those parts of the ordination ram that belong to Aaron and his sons:(AL) the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. 28 This is always to be the perpetual share from the Israelites for Aaron and his sons. It is the contribution the Israelites are to make to the Lord from their fellowship offerings.(AM)

29 “Aaron’s sacred garments(AN) will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.(AO) 30 The son(AP) who succeeds him as priest and comes to the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place is to wear them seven days.

31 “Take the ram(AQ) for the ordination and cook the meat in a sacred place.(AR) 32 At the entrance to the tent of meeting, Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread(AS) that is in the basket. 33 They are to eat these offerings by which atonement was made for their ordination and consecration. But no one else may eat(AT) them, because they are sacred. 34 And if any of the meat of the ordination ram or any bread is left over till morning,(AU) burn it up. It must not be eaten, because it is sacred.

35 “Do for Aaron and his sons everything I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them. 36 Sacrifice a bull each day(AV) as a sin offering to make atonement(AW). Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate(AX) it. 37 For seven days make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will be most holy, and whatever touches it will be holy.(AY)

38 “This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day:(AZ) two lambs a year old. 39 Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight.(BA) 40 With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah[c] of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin[d] of oil(BB) from pressed olives, and a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.(BC) 41 Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight(BD) with the same grain offering(BE) and its drink offering as in the morning—a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.

42 “For the generations to come(BF) this burnt offering is to be made regularly(BG) at the entrance to the tent of meeting,(BH) before the Lord. There I will meet you and speak to you;(BI) 43 there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory.(BJ)

44 “So I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.(BK) 45 Then I will dwell(BL) among the Israelites and be their God.(BM) 46 They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt(BN) so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.(BO)

29 And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish,

And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.

And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.

And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.

And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:

And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.

Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.

And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.

And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.

10 And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.

11 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the Lord, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.

13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar.

14 But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering.

15 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.

17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head.

18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the Lord: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon 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 thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the Lord.

25 And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the Lord: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the Lord: and it shall be thy part.

27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:

28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the Lord.

29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.

30 And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place.

31 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place.

32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

33 And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.

34 And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.

36 And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.

37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.

38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.

39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:

40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.

41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.

43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.

44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.

45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the Lord their God.
