Exodus 29:5-46
Then take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe for the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastpiece; fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband.Put the turban on his head and place the holy diadem on the turban.Take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him.You must also bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.Tie the sashes on Aaron and his sons and fasten headbands on them. The priesthood is to be theirs by a permanent statute. This is the way you will ordain Aaron and his sons.“ You are to bring the bull to the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the bull’s head.Slaughter the bull before the LORD at the entrance to the tent of meeting.Take some of the bull’s blood and apply it to the horns of the altar with your finger; then pour out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.Take all the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.But burn the bull’s flesh, its hide, and its waste outside the camp; it is a sin offering.“ Take one ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the ram’s head.You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and splatter it on all sides of the altar.Cut the ram into pieces. Wash its entrails and legs, and place them with its head and its pieces on the altar.Then burn the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the LORD. It is a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.“ You are to take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the ram’s head.Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on his sons’ right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Splatter the remaining blood on all sides of the altar.Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. So he and his garments will be holy, as well as his sons and their garments.“ Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, and the right thigh( since this is a ram for ordination);take one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the LORD;and put all of them in the hands of Aaron and his sons and present them as a presentation offering before the LORD.Take them from their hands and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma before the LORD; it is a food offering to the LORD.“ Take the breast from the ram of Aaron’s ordination and present it as a presentation offering before the LORD; it is to be your portion.Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the presentation offering that is presented and the thigh of the contribution that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites, for it is a contribution. It will be the Israelites’ contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, their contribution to the LORD.“ The holy garments that belong to Aaron are to belong to his sons after him, so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.Any priest who is one of his sons and who succeeds him and enters the tent of meeting to minister in the sanctuary must wear them for seven days.“ You are to take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place.Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket at the entrance to the tent of meeting.They must eat those things by which atonement was made at the time of their ordination and consecration. An unauthorized person must not eat them, for these things are holy.If any of the meat of ordination or any of the bread is left until morning, burn what is left over. It must not be eaten because it is holy.“ This is what you are to do for Aaron and his sons based on all I have commanded you. Take seven days to ordain them.Sacrifice a bull as a sin offering each day for atonement. Purify the altar when you make atonement for it, and anoint it in order to consecrate it.For seven days you must make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. The altar will be especially holy. Whatever touches the altar will be consecrated.“ This is what you are to offer regularly on the altar every day: two year-old lambs.In the morning offer one lamb, and at twilight offer the other lamb.With the first lamb offer two quarts of fine flour mixed with one quart of oil from crushed olives, and a drink offering of one quart of wine.You are to offer the second lamb at twilight. Offer a grain offering and a drink offering with it, like the one in the morning, as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.This will be a regular burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the LORD, where I will meet you to speak with you.I will also meet with the Israelites there, and that place will be consecrated by my glory.I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar; I will also consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.And they will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.

Exodus 28:29-38
“ Whenever he enters the sanctuary, Aaron is to carry the names of Israel’s sons over his heart on the breastpiece for decisions, as a continual reminder before the LORD.Place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece for decisions, so that they will also be over Aaron’s heart whenever he comes before the LORD. Aaron will continually carry the means of decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the LORD.“ You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue yarn.There should be an opening at its top in the center of it. Around the opening, there should be a woven collar with an opening like that of body armor so that it does not tear.Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn on its lower hem and all around it. Put gold bells between them all the way around,so that gold bells and pomegranates alternate around the lower hem of the robe.The robe will be worn by Aaron whenever he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he enters the sanctuary before the LORD and when he exits, so that he does not die.“ You are to make a pure gold medallion and engrave it, like the engraving of a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.Fasten it to a cord of blue yarn so it can be placed on the turban; the medallion is to be on the front of the turban.It will be on Aaron’s forehead so that Aaron may bear the guilt connected with the holy offerings that the Israelites consecrate as all their holy gifts. It is always to be on his forehead, so that they may find acceptance with the LORD.

Leviticus 8:7-36
He put the tunic on Aaron, wrapped the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He put the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.Then he put the breastpiece on him and placed the Urim and Thummim into the breastpiece.He also put the turban on his head and placed the gold medallion, the holy diadem, on the front of the turban, as the LORD had commanded Moses.Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it to consecrate them.He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, anointing the altar with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand, to consecrate them.He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed and consecrated him.Then Moses presented Aaron’s sons, clothed them with tunics, wrapped sashes around them, and fastened headbands on them, as the LORD had commanded Moses.Then he brought the bull near for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull for the sin offering.Then Moses slaughtered it, took the blood, and applied it with his finger to the horns of the altar on all sides, purifying the altar. He poured out the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it so that atonement can be made on it.Moses took all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and he burned them on the altar.He burned the bull with its hide, flesh, and waste outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded Moses.Then he presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.Moses slaughtered it and splattered the blood on all sides of the altar.Moses cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat,but he washed the entrails and legs with water. He then burned the entire ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD as he had commanded Moses.Next he presented the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.Moses slaughtered it, took some of its blood, and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.Moses also presented Aaron’s sons and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then Moses splattered the blood on all sides of the altar.He took the fat— the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat— as well as the right thigh.From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat portions and the right thigh.He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and presented them before the LORD as a presentation offering.Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.He also took the breast and presented it before the LORD as a presentation offering; it was Moses’s portion of the ordination ram as the LORD had commanded him.Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. In this way he consecrated Aaron and his garments, as well as his sons and their garments.Moses said to Aaron and his sons,“ Boil the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket for the ordination offering as I commanded: Aaron and his sons are to eat it.Burn up what remains of the meat and bread.Do not go outside the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days, until the time your days of ordination are completed, because it will take seven days to ordain you.The LORD commanded what has been done today in order to make atonement for you.You must remain at the entrance to the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and keep the LORD’s charge so that you will not die, for this is what I was commanded.”So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD had commanded through Moses.

Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is set apart. It is you Levites who have gone too far!”Moses also told Korah,“ Now listen, Levites!Isn’t it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the Israelite community to bring you near to himself, to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the community to minister to them?He has brought you near, and all your fellow Levites who are with you, but you are pursuing the priesthood as well.Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD!
