Exodus 29

New American Standard Bible

Consecration of the Priests

29 “^(A)Now this is ^[a]what you shall do to them to consecrate them to serve as priests to Me: take one bull and two rams without blemish, ²and ^(B)unleavened bread and unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers ^[b]spread with oil; you shall make them of fine wheat flour. ³And you shall put them in one basket, and present them in the basket along with the bull and the two rams. ⁴Then ^(C)you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the tent of meeting and wash them with water. ⁵And you shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the ^(D)tunic and ^(E)the robe of the ephod, and ^(F)the ephod and ^(G)the ^[c]breastpiece, and wrap his waist with the skillfully ^(H)woven band of the ephod; ⁶and you shall set the ^(I)turban on his head and put ^(J)the holy crown on the turban. ⁷Then you shall take ^(K)the anointing oil and pour it on his head, and anoint him. ⁸You shall also bring his sons and put ^(L)tunics on them. ⁹And you shall wrap their waists with ^(M)sashes, Aaron and his sons, and fit ^[d]caps on them, and they shall have ^(N)the priesthood by a permanent statute. So you shall ^[e]^(O)ordain Aaron and his sons.

The Sacrifices

¹⁰“Then you shall bring the bull in front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall ^(P)lay their hands on the head of the bull. ¹¹And you shall slaughter the bull before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting. ¹²Then you shall ^(Q)take some of the blood of the bull and put it on ^(R)the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. ¹³And you shall ^(S)take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the ^[f]lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and offer them up in smoke on the altar. ¹⁴But ^(T)the flesh of the bull and its hide and its refuse, you shall burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

¹⁵“^(U)You shall also take the one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram; ¹⁶and you shall slaughter the ram and take its blood and sprinkle it around on the altar. ¹⁷Then you shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and put them ^[g]with its pieces and ^[h]its head. ¹⁸And you shall offer up in smoke the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the Lord: ^(V)it is a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord.

¹⁹“Then ^(W)you shall take the ^[i]other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. ²⁰And you shall slaughter the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear and on the lobes of his sons’ right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet, and sprinkle the rest of the blood around on the altar. ²¹Then you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the ^(X)anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons and on his sons’ garments with him; so he and his garments shall be consecrated, as well as his sons and his sons’ garments with him.

²²“You shall also take the fat from the ram and the fat tail, and the fat that covers the entrails and the ^[j]lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of ^[k]ordination), ²³and one loaf of bread, and ^(Y)one cake of bread mixed with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread which is set before the Lord; ²⁴and you shall put ^[l]all these ^[m]in the ^[n]hands of Aaron and ^[o]in the ^[p]hands of his sons, and shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. ²⁵Then ^(Z)you shall take them from their hands, and offer them up in smoke on the altar on the burnt offering for a soothing aroma before the Lord; it is an offering by fire to the Lord.

²⁶“Then you shall take ^(AA)the breast of Aaron’s ram of ^[q]ordination, and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be your portion. ²⁷You shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the ^[r]contribution which was waved and which was ^[s]offered from the ram of ^[t]ordination, from the one which was for Aaron and from the one which was for his sons. ²⁸It shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the sons of Israel, for it is ^[u]a contribution; and it shall be ^[v]a contribution from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, their ^[w]contribution to the Lord.

²⁹“^(AB)The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, ^[x]so that they may be anointed and ordained in them. ³⁰For seven days the one of his sons who is priest in his place shall put them on when he enters the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place.

Food of the Priests

³¹“Now you shall take the ram of ^[y]ordination and ^(AC)boil its flesh in a holy place. ³²Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket, at the doorway of the tent of meeting. ³³So ^(AD)they shall eat ^[z]those things by which atonement was made ^[aa]at their ordination and consecration; but a ^[ab]^(AE)layman shall not eat them, because they are holy. ³⁴And ^(AF)if any of the flesh of ^[ac]ordination or any of the bread remains until morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

³⁵“So you shall do for Aaron and for his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; you shall ^[ad]ordain them for ^(AG)seven days. ³⁶^(AH)Each day you shall offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement, and you shall ^[ae]purify the altar when you make atonement ^[af]for it, and ^(AI)you shall anoint it to consecrate it. ³⁷For seven days you shall make atonement ^[ag]for the altar and consecrate it; then ^(AJ)the altar shall be most holy, and whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

³⁸“Now ^(AK)this is what you shall offer on the altar: two one-year-old lambs each day, continuously. ³⁹The ^(AL)one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the ^[ah]other lamb you shall offer at ^[ai]twilight; ⁴⁰and there shall be a ^[aj]tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a ^[ak]fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering with one lamb. ⁴¹The ^[al]other lamb you shall offer at ^[am]twilight, and shall offer with it ^[an]the same grain offering and ^[ao]the same drink offering as in the morning, for a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord. ⁴²It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the doorway of the tent of meeting before the Lord, ^(AM)where I will meet with you, to speak to you there. ⁴³I will meet there with the sons of Israel, and it shall be consecrated by My glory. ⁴⁴I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar; I will also consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve as priests to Me. ⁴⁵And ^(AN)I will dwell among the sons of Israel and will be their God. ⁴⁶And they shall know that ^(AO)I am the Lord their God who brought them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them; I am the Lord their God.

Psalm 60

New American Standard Bible

Grieving over Defeat in Battle, and Prayer for Help.

For the music director; according to ^[a]Shushan Eduth. A ^[b]Mikhtam of David, to teach; ^[c]when he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

60 God, ^(A)You have rejected us. You have ^[d]^(B)broken us;
You have been ^(C)angry; ^(D)restore us!
²You have made the ^[e]^(E)land quake, You have split it open;
^(F)Heal its cracks, for it sways.
³You have ^[f]^(G)made Your people experience hardship;
You have given us ^[g]wine to ^(H)drink that makes us stagger.
⁴You have given a ^(I)banner to those who fear You,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
⁵^(J)That Your ^(K)beloved may be rescued,
^(L)Save us with Your right hand, and answer ^[h]us!

⁶God has spoken in His ^[i]^(M)holiness:
“I will triumph, I will divide up ^(N)Shechem, and measure out the Valley of ^(O)Succoth.
⁷^(P)Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
^(Q)Ephraim also is the ^[j]helmet of My head;
Judah is My ^(R)scepter.
⁸^(S)Moab is My washbowl;
I will throw My sandal over ^(T)Edom;
Shout loud, ^(U)Philistia, because of Me!”

⁹Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who ^[k]will lead me to Edom?
¹⁰Have You Yourself not ^(V)rejected us, God?
And ^(W)will You not go out with our armies, God?
¹¹Oh give us help against the enemy,
For ^(X)rescue ^[l]by man is worthless.
¹²^[m]Through God we will ^(Y)do valiantly,
And it is He who will ^(Z)trample down our enemies.

Judas Betrays Jesus

18 When Jesus had spoken these words, ^(A)He went away with His disciples across ^(B)the ^[a]ravine of the Kidron, where there was ^(C)a garden which He entered ^[b]with His disciples. ²Now Judas, who was ^[c]betraying Him, also knew the place, because Jesus had ^(D)often met there with His disciples. ³^(E)So Judas, having obtained ^(F)the Roman ^[d]cohort and ^(G)officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns, ^(H)torches, and weapons. ⁴Jesus therefore, ^(I)knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, came out into the open and *said to them, “^(J)Whom are you seeking?” ⁵They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He *said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them. ⁶Now then, when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground. ⁷He then asked them again, “^(K)Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”
