• Exod 29:1-9 : 1 This thing also shalt thou do vnto them whe thou consecratest them to be my Priestes, Take a yong calfe, & two rams wtout blemish, 2 And vnleauened bread and cakes vnleauened tempered with oyle, and wafers vnleauened anoynted with oyle: (of fine wheate flowre shalt thou make them) 3 Then thou shalt put them in one basket, and present them in the basket with the calfe and the two rammes, 4 And shalt bring Aaron and his sonnes vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water. 5 Also thou shalt take the garments, and put vpon Aaron the tunicle, and the robe of the Ephod, and the Ephod, and the brest plate, and shalt close them to him with the broidred garde of the Ephod. 6 Then thou shalt put the miter vpon his head, & shalt put the holy crowne vpon ye miter. 7 And thou shalt take the anoynting oyle, and shalt powre vpon his head, and anoynt him. 8 And thou shalt bring his sonnes, and put coates vpon them, 9 And shalt girde them with girdles, both Aaron and his sonnes: and shalt put the bonets on them, and the Priestes office shalbe theirs for a perpetuall lawe: thou shalt also fill the hands of Aaron, and the hands of his sonnes. 10 After, thou shalt present the calfe before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and Aaron and his sonnes shall put their handes vpon the head of the calfe. 11 So thou shalt kill the calfe before the Lord, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 12 Then thou shalt take of the blood of the calfe, and put it vpon the hornes of the altar with thy finger, and shalt powre al the rest of the blood at the foote of the altar. 13 Also thou shalt take all the fat that couereth the inwardes, and the kall, that is on the liuer, and the two kidneis, and the fat that is vpon them, and shalt burne them vpon the altar. 14 But the flesh of the calfe, and his skin, and his doung shalt thou burne with fire without the hoste: it is a sinne offring. 15 Thou shalt also take one ramme, and Aron and his sonnes shall put their hands vpon the head of the ramme. 16 Then thou shalt kil the ramme, & take his blood, & sprinkle it round about vpon the altar, 17 And thou shalt cut the ramme in pieces, and wash the inwards of him and his legges, and shalt put them vpon the pieces thereof, and vpon his head. 18 So thou shalt burne the whole ram vpon the altar: for it is a burnt offering vnto the Lord for a sweete sauour: it is an offering made by fire vnto the Lord. 19 And thou shalt take the other ramme, & Aaron and his sonnes shall put their handes vpon the head of the ramme. 20 Then thou shalt kill the ramme, & take of his blood and put it vpon the lappe of Aarons eare, and vpon the lappe of the right eare of his sonnes, and vpon the thumbe of their right hand, and vpon the great toe of their right foote, and shalt sprinkle the blood vpon ye altar roud about. 21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is vpon the altar, and of the anoynting oyle, and shalt sprinkle it vpon Aaron, and vpon his garments, and vpon his sonnes, and vpon the garments of his sonnes with him: so he shall be halowed, and his clothes, and his sonnes, and the garments of his sonnes with him. 22 Also thou shalt take of the rammes ye fatte & the rumpe, euen the fat that couereth the inwards, and the kall of the liuer, and the two kidneis, and the fat that is vpon them, & the ryght shoulder, (for it is the ramme of consecration) 23 And one loafe of bread, and one cake of bread tempered with oyle, and one wafer, out of the basket of the vnleauened bread that is before the Lorde. 24 And thou shalt put al this in the handes of Aaron, and in the handes of his sonnes, and shalt shake them to and fro before the Lorde. 25 Againe, thou shalt receyue them of their handes, & burne them vpon the altar besides the burnt offring for a sweete sauour before ye Lord: for this is an offering made by fire vnto the Lord. 26 Likewise thou shalt take the brest of the ram of the consecration, which is for Aaron, and shalt shake it to and fro before the Lord and it shalbe thy part. 27 And thou shalt sanctifie the brest of the shaken offering, and the shoulder of the heaue offering, which was shaken to and fro, and which was heaued vp of the ramme of the consecration, which was for Aaro, & which was for his sonnes. 28 And Aaron and his sonnes shall haue it by a statute for euer, of the children of Israel: for it is an heaue offering, and it shal be an heaue offering of the children of Israel, of their peace offerings, euen their heaue offering to the Lord. 29 And the holy garmets, which apperteine to Aaron, shall bee his sonnes after him, to bee anoynted therein, and to bee consecrate therein. 30 That sonne that shalbe Priest in his steade, shall put them on seuen dayes, when he commeth into the Tabernacle of the Congregation to minister in the holy place. 31 So thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seeth his flesh in the holy place. 32 And Aaron and his sonnes shall eate the flesh of the ram, & the bread that is in the basket, at the doore of ye Tabernacle of ye Congregation. 33 So they shall eate these thinges, whereby their attonement was made, to consecrate them, and to sanctifie them: but a stranger shall not eate thereof, because they are holy things. 34 Now if ought of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread remaine vnto the morning, then thou shalt burne the rest with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is an holie thing. 35 Therefore shalt thou doe thus vnto Aaron & vnto his sonnes, according to all things, which I haue commanded thee: seuen dayes shalt thou consecrate them, 36 And shalt offer euery day a calfe for a sinne offring, for reconciliation: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast offred vpon it for reconciliation, and shalt annoynt it, to sanctifie it. 37 Seuen dayes shalt thou cleanse the altar, & sanctifie it, so the altar shalbe most holy: and whatsoeuer toucheth the altar, shalbe holy.
