立祭司的條例

29 「你要使亞倫父子們分別出來,做聖潔的祭司事奉我。你要選一頭公牛犢和兩隻毫無殘疾的公綿羊, 用細麵粉預備無酵餅、調上油的無酵餅和塗上油的無酵薄餅。 所有的餅都要用一個籃子盛,連同公牛和綿羊一起帶到會幕那裡。 你要先讓亞倫父子們在會幕門前沐浴, 然後給亞倫穿上內袍、以弗得和以弗得的外袍,戴上胸牌,束上精緻的以弗得帶子, 戴上禮冠,把聖冠[a]繫在禮冠上。 之後,把膏油倒在他的頭上,立他為祭司。 接著輪到亞倫的兒子們,要給他們穿上內袍, 為他們束上腰帶,戴上帽子,他們就按永遠的條例得到祭司的職分。你要這樣把聖職授予他們。

10 「要把公牛牽到會幕前面,亞倫父子們要把手按在公牛頭上, 11 在會幕門前,在耶和華面前宰牛。 12 然後,把血帶到祭壇那裡,用手指把血塗在壇的四個角上,剩下的血倒在壇腳。 13 再把遮蓋內臟的脂肪、肝、兩個腎臟和附在上面的脂肪都放在祭壇上燒掉。 14 但牛皮、肉和糞要拿到營外焚燒。這是贖罪祭。

15 「要把一隻公綿羊牽來,亞倫父子們要把手按在羊頭上, 16 然後宰羊,把血灑在祭壇的四周。 17 再把羊切成塊狀,用水洗淨所有的內臟和腿,跟肉塊和頭放在一起。 18 然後,把整隻羊放在祭壇上焚燒,這是獻給耶和華的燔祭,是蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭。

19 「你要把另一隻公綿羊牽來,亞倫父子們要把手按在羊頭上, 20 然後宰羊,取一點血塗在亞倫和他兒子們的右耳垂、右手的大拇指和右腳的大腳趾上,餘下的血就灑在祭壇的四周。 21 再從祭壇上取一點血,與膏油一起灑在亞倫父子及其衣服上。這樣,他們和他們的衣服就被分別出來,變得聖潔。

22 「你要取出羊的脂肪、肥尾巴、遮蓋內臟的脂肪、肝葉、兩個腎臟和附在上面的脂肪以及右腿,因為這是授聖職時所獻的羊。 23 再從耶和華面前的籃子裡取一個無酵餅、一個調油的無酵餅和一個薄餅。 24 把這些祭物都放在亞倫和他兒子的手中,作為搖祭在耶和華面前搖一搖。 25 然後,你要把這些祭物接過來,放在祭壇上焚燒獻給耶和華,成為蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭。 26 你要拿起亞倫承受聖職時所獻的那頭公羊的胸肉,作為搖祭在耶和華面前搖一搖。之後,這份祭肉就歸你。

27 「要將屬於亞倫父子們、授聖職時所獻的搖祭胸肉和舉祭腿肉分別出來,使之聖潔。 28 這些祭物要從以色列人所獻的平安祭中取出來,歸給亞倫父子們,作為永遠的定例。這是以色列人當向耶和華獻的祭物。

29 「亞倫的聖衣要留給他的子孫,他們可以穿上這聖衣受膏,承受聖職。 30 接替亞倫做祭司的那位後裔,每次進會幕的聖所供職時,都要一連七天穿著聖衣。

31 「要在聖潔的地方煮授聖職時所用的公綿羊肉。 32 亞倫父子們可以在會幕的門前吃這些祭肉和籃內的餅。 33 他們要吃這些在授聖職時用來贖罪、使他們聖潔的祭物。但普通人不能吃,因為這些是聖物。 34 若有授聖職時的肉或餅留到早上,就要燒掉,不可再吃,因為這些都是聖物。

35 「你要照我的吩咐,為亞倫父子們舉行授聖職禮,歷時七天。 36 每天要獻一頭公牛作贖罪祭潔淨祭壇,然後用膏油抹祭壇,使祭壇聖潔。 37 你們連續七天都要這樣做,這樣祭壇便完全聖潔,凡是碰到祭壇的都變得聖潔。

38 「你們每天要獻上兩隻一歲的羊羔作燔祭。 39 一隻在早晨獻上,另一隻在黃昏獻上。 40 要用一公斤細麵粉調一升橄欖油做成素祭,與早晨獻的羊羔一同獻上,再獻上一升酒作奠祭。 41 另一隻羊要在黃昏的時候獻上,所獻的素祭和奠祭要跟早晨的一樣,作為蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭。

42 「你們世世代代要不斷地在我面前獻上燔祭,祭禮要在會幕門前舉行,這會幕就是我跟你們會面和交談的地方。 43 我要在那裡和以色列人相會,我的榮耀將使整座會幕聖潔。

44 「我要使會幕和祭壇聖潔,也要使亞倫父子們聖潔,做祭司事奉我。 45 我要住在以色列人中間,做他們的上帝。 46 他們必知道我是他們的上帝耶和華。我帶領他們離開埃及,就是為了要住在他們中間。我是他們的上帝耶和華。

Make Aaron and His Sons Priests(A)

29 ⌞The Lord continued,⌟ “Now, this is what you must do in order to set Aaron and his sons apart to serve me as priests:

“Take a young bull that has no defects and two rams that have no defects. Use the finest wheat flour, but no yeast, and bake some loaves of bread, some rings of bread made with olive oil, and some wafers brushed with olive oil. Put the bread in a basket, and bring the basket along with the young bull and the two rams.

“Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and wash them. Take the clothes, and put them on Aaron—the linen robe, the ephod and the robe that is worn with it, and the breastplate. Use the belt to tie it on him tightly. Put his turban on him, and fasten the holy crown to it. Take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him.

“Have his sons come forward. Dress them in their linen robes, and put turbans on them. Tie belts around the waists of Aaron and his sons. They alone are to be priests; this is a permanent law. In this way you will ordain Aaron and his sons.

10 “Then bring the young bull to the front of the tent of meeting. Aaron and his sons will place their hands on its head. 11 Slaughter the bull in the Lord’s presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 12 Take some of the bull’s blood, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger. Pour the rest of it out at the bottom of the altar.

13 “Then take all the fat that covers the internal organs, the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar. 14 But burn the bull’s meat, skin, and excrement outside the camp. It is an offering for sin.

15 “Take one of the rams. Then Aaron and his sons will place their hands on its head. 16 Slaughter it, take the blood, and throw it against the altar on all sides. 17 Cut the ram into pieces, wash the internal organs and legs, and put them with the other pieces and the head. 18 Then burn the whole ram on the altar. It’s a burnt offering, a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord.

19 “Take the other ram. Then Aaron and his sons will place their hands on its head. 20 Slaughter it, take some of the blood, and put it on the right ear lobes of Aaron and his sons, on their right thumbs, and on the big toes of their right feet. Throw the ⌞rest of the⌟ blood against the altar on all sides. 21 Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes and on his sons and their clothes. In this way Aaron, his sons, and their clothes will be holy.

22 “From this ⌞same⌟ ram take the fat, the fat from the tail, the fat that covers the internal organs, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh. (This is the ram for the ordination.) 23 From the basket of unleavened bread which is in the Lord’s presence, take a round loaf of bread, a ring of bread made with olive oil, and a wafer. 24 Put all of these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, who will offer them to the Lord. 25 Then take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering. It’s a soothing aroma in the Lord’s presence, an offering by fire to the Lord.

26 “Take the breast from the ram used for Aaron’s ordination, and present it to the Lord. This will be your share. 27 Set apart as holy the breast that is offered to the Lord and the thigh that is the contribution. Both will come from the ram used for the ordination. They both belong to Aaron and his sons. 28 It is a permanent law that the Israelites give this portion to Aaron and his sons as a contribution. This will also be their contribution to the Lord from the fellowship offerings.

29 “Aaron’s holy clothes will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them. 30 The son who succeeds him as priest—the one who goes into the tent of meeting to serve in the holy place—will wear them for seven days.

31 “Take the ram used for the ordination, and boil its meat in a holy place. 32 At the entrance to the tent of meeting, Aaron and his sons will eat the meat of the ram and the bread ⌞left⌟ in the basket. 33 They will eat those offerings through which they made peace with the Lord at their ordination and installation. No one else may eat them because the offerings are holy. 34 If any meat or bread from the ordination is left over until morning, burn it up. It must not be eaten because it is holy.

35 “Do this with Aaron and his sons exactly as I have commanded you. Take seven days to ordain them. 36 Each day sacrifice a young bull as an offering to make peace with the Lord. Sacrifice this offering for sin on the altar in order to pay for its sins. Then anoint it ⌞with olive oil⌟ in order to dedicate it. 37 For seven days at the altar make peace with the Lord and set the altar apart for its holy purpose. Then the altar will be most holy. Anything that touches the altar will become holy.

38 “This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly every day: two one-year-old lambs. 39 Offer one in the morning and the other at dusk. 40 With the first lamb make an offering of eight cups of flour mixed with one quart of virgin olive oil. Make a wine offering of one quart of wine. 41 Offer the other lamb at dusk, and with it make the same grain offering and wine offering as in the morning. This is a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord.

42 “For generations to come this will be the daily burnt offering ⌞made⌟ in the Lord’s presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting. There I will meet with you to speak to you. 43 I will also meet with the Israelites there, and my glory will make this place holy. 44 I will dedicate the tent of meeting and the altar for their holy purposes. I will set Aaron and his sons apart for their holy duties of serving me as priests.

45 “Then I will live among the Israelites and be their God. 46 They will know that I am the Lord their God. I brought them out of Egypt so that I might live among them. I am the Lord their God.”

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.
