1 "Now this is what you shall do to them to consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests.  Take one young bull and two rams without blemish,

 

2 and unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil.  You shall make them of fine wheat flour.

 

3 And you shall put them in one basket and bring them in the basket, and bring the bull and the two rams.

 

4 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting, and wash them with water.

 

5 And you shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the coat and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastpiece, and gird him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod;

 

6 and you shall set the turban on his head, and put the holy crown upon the turban.

 

7 And you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head and anoint him.

 

8 Then you shall bring his sons, and put coats on them,

 

9 and you shall gird them with girdles and bind caps on them; and the priesthood shall be theirs by a perpetual statute.  Thus, you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.

 

10 "Then you shall bring the bull before the tent of meeting.  Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the bull,

 

11 and you shall kill the bull before YHVH, at the door of the tent of meeting,

 

12 and shall take part of the blood of the bull and put it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, and the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar.

 

13 And you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and burn them upon the altar.

 

14 But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

 

15 "Then you shall take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram,

 

16 and you shall slaughter the ram, and shall take its blood and throw it against the altar round about.

 

17 Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with its pieces and its head,

 

18 and burn the whole ram upon the altar; it is a burnt offering to YHVH; it is a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to YHVH.

 

19 "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram,

 

20 and you shall kill the ram, and take part of its blood and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and upon the tips of the right ears of his sons, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet, and throw the rest of the blood against the altar round about.
