Exodus, starting at chapter 28
{28:1} "Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to you
from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the
priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar,
Aaron's sons. {28:2} You shall make holy garments for Aaron your
brother, for glory and for beauty. {28:3} You shall speak to all who
are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that
they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me
in the priest's office. {28:4} These are the garments which they shall
make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker
work, a turban, and a sash: and they shall make holy garments for
Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the
priest's office. {28:5} They shall take the gold, and the blue, and
the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
{28:6} "They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple,
scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman.
{28:7} It shall have two shoulder straps joined to the two ends of it,
that it may be joined together. {28:8} The skillfully woven band,
which is on it, that is on him, shall be like its work and of the same
piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen. {28:9} You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the
names of the children of Israel: {28:10} six of their names on the one
stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, in the
order of their birth. {28:11} With the work of an engraver in stone,
like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones,
according to the names of the children of Israel: you shall make them
to be enclosed in settings of gold. {28:12} You shall put the two
stones on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial
for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before
the LORD on his two shoulders for a memorial. {28:13} You shall make
settings of gold, {28:14} and two chains of pure gold; you shall make
them like cords of braided work: and you shall put the braided chains
on the settings.
{28:15} "You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the
skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of
gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you
shall make it. {28:16} It shall be square and folded double; a
[1>]span[<1] shall be its length of it, and a span its breadth.
{28:17} You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a
row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row; {28:18} and the
second row a turquoise, a [2>]sapphire[<2], and an emerald; {28:19}
and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; {28:20} and
the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be
enclosed in gold in their settings. {28:21} The stones shall be
according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to
their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to
his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes. {28:22} You shall make
on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.
{28:23} You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall
put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. {28:24} You
shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends
of the breastplate. {28:25} The other two ends of the two braided
chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder
straps of the ephod in its forepart. {28:26} You shall make two rings
of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on
its edge, which is toward the side of the ephod inward. {28:27} You
shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder
straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its
coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod. {28:28} They
shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with
a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the
ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod.
{28:29} Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the
breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy
place, for a memorial before the LORD continually. {28:30} You shall
put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they
shall be on Aaron's heart, when he goes in before the LORD: and Aaron
shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before
the LORD continually.
{28:31} "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. {28:32}
It shall have a hole for the head in its midst: it shall have a
binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat
of mail, that it not be torn. {28:33} On its hem you shall make
pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem;
and bells of gold between and around them: {28:34} a golden bell and a
pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the
robe. {28:35} It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be
heard when he goes in to the holy place before the LORD, and when he
comes out, that he not die.
{28:36} "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it,
like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLY TO THE LORD.' {28:37} You shall
put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash; on the front of
the sash it shall be. {28:38} It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and
Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children
of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be
always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.
{28:39} You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and
you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the
work of the embroiderer.
{28:40} "You shall make coats for Aaron's sons, and you shall make
sashes for them and you shall make headbands for them, for glory and
for beauty. {28:41} You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on
his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and
sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
{28:42} You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their
nakedness; from the waist even to the thighs they shall reach: {28:43}
They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent
of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the
holy place; that they don't bear iniquity, and die: it shall be a
statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.
{29:1} "This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them
holy, to minister to me in the priest's office: take one young bull
and two rams without blemish, {29:2} unleavened bread, unleavened
cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you
shall make them of fine wheat flour. {29:3} You shall put them into
one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two
rams. {29:4} You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the
Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water. {29:5} You shall take
the garments, and put on Aaron the coat, the robe of the ephod, the
ephod, and the breastplate, and clothe him with the skillfully woven
band of the ephod; {29:6} and you shall set the turban on his head,
and put the holy crown on the turban. {29:7} Then you shall take the
anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him. {29:8} You
shall bring his sons, and put coats on them. {29:9} You shall clothe
them with belts, Aaron and his sons, and bind headbands on them: and
they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and you shall
consecrate Aaron and his sons.
{29:10} "You shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting: and
Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.
{29:11} You shall kill the bull before the LORD, at the door of the
Tent of Meeting. {29:12} You shall take of the blood of the bull, and
put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour
out all the blood at the base of the altar. {29:13} You shall take all
the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two
kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.
{29:14} But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you
shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.
{29:15} "You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons
shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. {29:16} You shall kill
the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the
altar. {29:17} You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its
innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its
head. {29:18} You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt
offering to the LORD; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire
to the LORD.
{29:19} "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall
lay their hands on the head of the ram. {29:20} Then you shall kill
the ram, and take some of its blood, and put it on the tip of the
right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and
on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right
foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar. {29:21} You shall
take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and
sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the
garments of his sons with him: and he shall be made holy, and his
garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him. {29:22} Also
you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the fat that
covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, the fat
that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of
consecration), {29:23} and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread,
and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before the
LORD. {29:24} You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his
sons' hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.
{29:25} You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the
altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before the LORD: it
is an offering made by fire to the LORD.
{29:26} "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration,
and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be your
portion. {29:27} You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering,
and the thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is
heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for
Aaron, and of that which is for his sons: {29:28} and it shall be for
Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the children of
Israel; for it is a wave offering: and it shall be a wave offering
from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace
offerings, even their wave offering to the LORD.
{29:29} "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him,
to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them. {29:30} Seven
days shall the son who is priest in his place put them on, when he
comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.
{29:31} "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh
in a holy place. {29:32} Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the
ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of
Meeting. {29:33} They shall eat those things with which atonement was
made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of
it, because they are holy. {29:34} If anything of the flesh of the
consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall
burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is
holy.
{29:35} "You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all
that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.
{29:36} Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for
atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement
for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it. {29:37} Seven days
you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar
shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.
{29:38} "Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two
lambs a year old day by day continually. {29:39} The one lamb you
shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at
evening: {29:40} and with the one lamb a tenth part of an [3>]efah[<3]
of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and
the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering. {29:41} The
other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to
the meal offering of the morning, and according to its drink offering,
for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD. {29:42} It
shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the
door of the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, where I will meet with
you, to speak there to you. {29:43} There I will meet with the
children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.
{29:44} I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar: Aaron also
and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's
office. {29:45} I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be
their God. {29:46} They shall know that I am the LORD their God, who
brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among
them: I am the LORD their God.
{30:1} "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make
it of acacia wood. {30:2} Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth
a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its
horns shall be of one piece with it. {30:3} You shall overlay it with
pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall
make a gold molding around it. {30:4} You shall make two golden rings
for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall
make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear
it. {30:5} You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them
with gold. {30:6} You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark
of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony,
where I will meet with you. {30:7} Aaron shall burn incense of sweet
spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.
{30:8} When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a
perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations. {30:9}
You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal
offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it. {30:10} Aaron
shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of
the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement
for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the LORD."
{30:11} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {30:12} "When you take a
census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered
among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to the
LORD, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when
you number them. {30:13} They shall give this, everyone who passes
over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the
sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an
offering to the LORD. {30:14} Everyone who passes over to those who
are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the
offering to the LORD. {30:15} The rich shall not give more, and the
poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the
offering of the LORD, to make atonement for your souls. {30:16} You
shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall
appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a
memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement
for your souls."
{30:17} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {30:18} "You shall also
make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You
shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall
put water in it. {30:19} Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and
their feet in it. {30:20} When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they
shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to
the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the LORD.
{30:21} So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not
die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his
descendants throughout their generations."
{30:22} Moreover the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {30:23} "Also take
fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant
cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant
cane, two hundred and fifty; {30:24} and of cassia five hundred, after
the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil. {30:25} You shall
make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of
the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil. {30:26} You shall use
it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony, {30:27}
the table and all its articles, the menorah and its accessories, the
altar of incense, {30:28} the altar of burnt offering with all its
utensils, and the basin with its base. {30:29} You shall sanctify
them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
{30:30} You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that
they may minister to me in the priest's office. {30:31} You shall
speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy
anointing oil to me throughout your generations. {30:32} It shall not
be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it,
according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.
{30:33} Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a
stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"
{30:34} The LORD said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum
resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense:
of each shall there be an equal weight; {30:35} and you shall make
incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with
salt, pure and holy: {30:36} and you shall beat some of it very small,
and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where
I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy. {30:37} The
incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall
not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for the LORD. {30:38}
Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off
from his people."
