Exodus 29:30-30:10
New International Version
Exodus 29:30-30:10
New International Version
30 The son(A) 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(B) for the ordination and cook the meat in a sacred place.(C) 32 At the entrance to the tent of meeting, Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread(D) 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(E) them, because they are sacred. 34 And if any of the meat of the ordination ram or any bread is left over till morning,(F) 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(G) as a sin offering to make atonement(H). Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate(I) 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.(J)
38 “This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day:(K) two lambs a year old. 39 Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight.(L) 40 With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah[a] of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin[b] of oil(M) from pressed olives, and a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.(N) 41 Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight(O) with the same grain offering(P) and its drink offering as in the morning—a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.
42 “For the generations to come(Q) this burnt offering is to be made regularly(R) at the entrance to the tent of meeting,(S) before the Lord. There I will meet you and speak to you;(T) 43 there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory.(U)
44 “So I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.(V) 45 Then I will dwell(W) among the Israelites and be their God.(X) 46 They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt(Y) so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.(Z)
The Altar of Incense(AA)
30 “Make an altar(AB) of acacia wood for burning incense.(AC) 2 It is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high[c]—its horns(AD) of one piece with it. 3 Overlay the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it.(AE) 4 Make two gold rings(AF) for the altar below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it. 5 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.(AG) 6 Put the altar in front of the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law—before the atonement cover(AH) that is over the tablets of the covenant law—where I will meet with you.
7 “Aaron must burn fragrant incense(AI) on the altar every morning when he tends the lamps. 8 He must burn incense again when he lights the lamps at twilight so incense will burn regularly before the Lord for the generations to come.(AJ) 9 Do not offer on this altar any other incense(AK) or any burnt offering or grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it. 10 Once a year(AL) Aaron shall make atonement(AM) on its horns. This annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering[d](AN) for the generations to come.(AO) It is most holy to the Lord.”

King James Version
Exodus 29:30-30:10
King James Version
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.
30 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.
3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
4 And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.
5 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
10 And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the Lord.
