This is what you must do for them to consecrate them to serve [before] Me [as kohanim]. Take one young bull and two unblemished rams,

[also] unleavened bread, unleavened loaves mixed with [olive] oil. and unleavened wafers anointed with oil. You must make them with fine wheat flour.

Place them in one basket and bring them in the basket [along] with the young bull and the two rams.

Bring Aharon and his sons near to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and immerse them in the water.

Take the garments and clothe Aharon with the undershirt, the robe of the eiphod, the eiphod, the breastplate, and gird [beautify] him with the belt of the eiphod.

Set the turban upon his head and place the sacred diadem upon the turban.

Take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.

Bring his sons near and clothe them with undershirts.

Gird them—Aharon and his sons—with sash-belts, and bind turban-like hats for them, and the priesthood shall be for them an everlasting statute. Thus you shall install [offer the sacrifice of] Aharon and [the sacrifice of] his sons.

Bring the young bull before the Tent of Meeting, and Aharon and his sons shall support their hands on the head of the young bull.

Slaughter the bull before Adonoy, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

Take of the blood of the bull and put it on the horn-like elevations of the altar with your finger, and pour all the [remaining] blood at the base of the altar.

Take all the fat that covers the inner organs, the lobe that is with the liver, the two kidneys with the fat that is upon them, and burn them on the altar.

[However] the flesh of the bull, its skin, and its intestinal waste, you shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin-offering.

Take the first ram and have Aharon and his sons support their hands on the head of the ram.

Slaughter the ram, and take its blood, and sprinkle it around the altar.

Cut the ram into pieces [its limbs]. [Then] wash off its intestines and its legs and place them with its cut up pieces [limbs] and its head.

Burn the entire ram on the altar, it is a burnt-offering to [before] Adonoy, a pleasing fragrance [to be accepted with favor], a fire-offering to [sacrifice before] Adonoy.

Take the second ram and have Aharon and his sons support their hands on the head of the ram.

Slaughter the ram, and take of its blood, and place it on the tip of Aharon’s right ear, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hands, and on the big toe of their right feet. Sprinkle the [remaining] blood all around the altar.

Take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil and sprinkle it upon Aharon and his garments, and upon his sons and their garments as well. Thus he and his garments will be consecrated, along with his sons and his son’s garments.

Take from the ram the [intestinal] fat, the broad tail, the fat that covers the inner organs, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, for it is a ram of a completion-offering [offering].

[Take also] one bread-cake, and one loaf of oiled bread, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before Adonoy.

Place all [these things] upon the [open] hands of Aharon, and upon the [open] hands of his sons, and you shall wave them for wave-offering before Adonoy.

Then take [these things] from their hands and burn them on the altar after the burnt-offering as a pleasing fragrance [to be accepted with favor] before Adonoy. It is a fire-offering to [sacrifice before] Adonoy.

Take the breast from Aharon’s installation ram [offering] and wave it as wave-offering to [before] Adonoy. Then it shall be your [Moshe’s] portion.

Sanctify the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the terumah-offering which were [the] waved and uplifted [parts] of the ram of the completion-offering [offering] [which was used to install] Aharon and his sons.

It [the breast and shoulder] shall be for Aharon and his sons’ by statute for ever. [This portion is taken] from the B’nei Yisrael for it is a terumah-offering. It shall be a terumah-offering from the B’nei Yisrael taken from their peace-offerings. It is their terumah-offering to [before] Adonoy.

Aharon’s sacred garments shall be his son’s after him, to be uplifted through them and to be installed [offer their sacrifices] through them.

Seven [consecutive] days shall they be worn by he who serves in his place—one of his sons—who will come into the Tent of Meeting to serve in the Holy [Sanctuary].

Take the [remainder of the] ram of the completion-offering [offering] and cook its flesh in a sacred place.

Aharon and his sons shall eat the ram’s meat, along with the bread that is in the basket, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

They are to eat those things through which atonement was achieved, to install them [offer their sacrifices] and [thereby] to sanctify them. A stranger [a non-kohein] may not eat thereof for they are sacred.

If any meat of the installation-offering [offering] is left over or if any of the bread [is left over] until morning, you must burn the leftovers in fire. It must not be eaten for it is sacred.

So shall you do for Aharon and his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. Seven days shall you install them [offer their sacrifices].

Offer a bull for a sin-offering each day for atonement; and by sprinkling [its blood] on the altar you will purify [elevate] it [the altar.] You shall then anoint it to sanctify it.

For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and sanctify it and thus the altar will be Holy of Holies. Anything that touches the altar becomes sacred.

And this is what you shall offer upon the altar: two yearling lambs each day, continually.

Offer one lamb in the morning and offer the second lamb in the afternoon.

And a tenth [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with one fourth of a hin of pressed olive oil, and a libation of a fourth of a hin of wine for the first lamb.

Offer the second lamb in the afternoon. As the meal-offering of the morning together with its libation, shall you offer it, for a pleasing fragrance [to be accepted with favor], a fire-offering to [sacrifice before] Adonoy.

This shall be a continual burnt-offering for your generations. [It shall be offered] at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, before Adonoy, where I will meet [prepare My Word] with you, to speak to you there.

It is there that I will meet [prepare My Word] with the B’nei Yisrael, and it [I] will be sanctified with My Glory.

I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and Aharon and his sons I will sanctify to serve [before] Me as kohanim.

I will dwell [rest My Shechina] among the B’nei Yisrael, and I will be their God.

They will know that I, Adonoy, am their God who brought them out of the land of Egypt to dwell [rest My Shechina] among them. I am Adonoy, their God.
