Oil for the Lampstand(A)
20 “Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil(B) of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning. 21 In the tent of meeting,(C) outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law,(D) Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps(E) burning before the Lord from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance(F) among the Israelites for the generations to come.
The Priestly Garments
28 “Have Aaron(G) your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu,(H) Eleazar and Ithamar,(I) so they may serve me as priests.(J) 2 Make sacred garments(K) for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor.(L) 3 Tell all the skilled workers(M) to whom I have given wisdom(N) in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest. 4 These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece,(O) an ephod,(P) a robe,(Q) a woven tunic,(R) a turban(S) and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests. 5 Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.(T)

King James Version
20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.
21 In the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the Lord: it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
28 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
3 And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
4 And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.

Exodus 29:29-46
New International Version
29 “Aaron’s sacred garments(A) will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.(B) 30 The son(C) 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(D) for the ordination and cook the meat in a sacred place.(E) 32 At the entrance to the tent of meeting, Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread(F) 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(G) them, because they are sacred. 34 And if any of the meat of the ordination ram or any bread is left over till morning,(H) 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(I) as a sin offering to make atonement(J). Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate(K) 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.(L)
38 “This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day:(M) two lambs a year old. 39 Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight.(N) 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(O) from pressed olives, and a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.(P) 41 Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight(Q) with the same grain offering(R) and its drink offering as in the morning—a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.
42 “For the generations to come(S) this burnt offering is to be made regularly(T) at the entrance to the tent of meeting,(U) before the Lord. There I will meet you and speak to you;(V) 43 there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory.(W)
44 “So I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.(X) 45 Then I will dwell(Y) among the Israelites and be their God.(Z) 46 They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt(AA) so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.(AB)

King James Version
Exodus 29:29-46
King James Version
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.
