They are to make these holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests. 5 They shall use gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen. 6 They must make the ephod of finely woven gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely twisted linen, the work of a skilled artisan. 7 It shall have two shoulder pieces joined at its two edges, so it can be fastened together. 8 The waistband of the ephod, made to match it, shall also be of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely twisted linen. 9 Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel. 10 Engrave six of their names on one stone and the remaining six names on the other stone, in the order of their birth. 11 Engrave the two stones with the work of a gem cutter, as one would engrave a seal. Mount them in gold filigree settings. 12 Place the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel.

They shall be made of fine wheat flour. 3 Place them in one basket, and bring them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams. 4 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and wash them with water. 5 Take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastpiece. Fasten the ephod for him with its skillfully woven waistband. 6 Then place the turban on his head and put the sacred crown on the turban. 7 Take the anointing oil and pour it on his head, anointing him. 8 Then bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics. 9 Gird them with sashes, both Aaron and his sons, and fasten caps on their heads. The priesthood shall be theirs by a lasting statute. In this way, 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. 11 Slaughter the bull before the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 12 Take some of the bull’s blood, and with your finger, put it on the horns of the altar. Pour out all the remaining blood at the base of the altar. 13 Then take all the fat that covers the entrails, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar. 14 But burn the flesh of the bull, its hide, and its refuse outside the camp. It is a sin offering. 15 Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. 16 Slaughter the ram, take its blood, and sprinkle it around the altar. 17 Cut the ram into pieces, wash its entrails and legs, and place them with its head and other pieces. 18 Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord. 19 Then take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. 20 Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, on the lobes of his sons’ right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands and the big toes of their right feet. Sprinkle the remaining blood around the altar. 21 Take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, and also on his sons and their garments. In this way, Aaron, his sons, and their garments will be consecrated. 22 Take the fat of the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh—for it is a ram of ordination. 23 Along with one loaf of bread, one cake made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread set before the Lord. 24 You shall place all of these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. 25 Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering as a pleasing aroma before the Lord, an offering made by fire to the Lord. 26 Take the breast of the ram used for Aaron’s ordination and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord. This portion will be your share. 27 Consecrate the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution that were waved and lifted up from the ram of ordination, given for Aaron and his sons. 28 This will be a perpetual statute for Aaron and his sons from the Israelites, for it is a contribution. It will be a contribution from their peace offerings, their contribution to the Lord. 29 The sacred garments of Aaron shall belong to his descendants after him, so that they can be anointed and ordained in them. 30 The son who succeeds him as priest shall wear them for seven days when he enters the Tent of Meeting to minister in the Holy Place. 31 You shall take the ram of ordination and boil its meat in a holy place. 32 Aaron and his sons shall eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 33 They shall eat those things by which atonement was made to consecrate and sanctify them. But no outsider shall eat them, because they are holy. 34 If any of the meat of ordination or bread is left until morning, you must burn it, for it may not be eaten because it is holy. 35 Do for Aaron and his sons everything I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them. 36 Each day you shall offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement. Purify the altar when you make atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate it. 37 For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become most holy, and whatever touches the altar will be holy.

Aaron's sons brought him the blood, which he splashed around the altar. 19 They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver— 20 and they placed the fat portions on the breasts. Aaron then burned the fat portions on the altar. 21 Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses had commanded.
