This is the thing that thou shalt do unto them when thou hallowest them
to be my priests. Take one ox and two rams that are without blemish,
and unleavened bread and cakes of sweet bread tempered with oil and
wafers of sweet bread anointed with oil (of wheaten flour shalt thou
make them) and put them in a maund and bring them in the maund with the
oil and the two rams. And bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the
tabernacle of witness, and wash them with water, and take the garments,
and put upon Aaron: the strait coat, and the tunicle of the Ephod, and
the Ephod and the breastlap: and girth them to him with the broidered
girdle of the Ephod. And put the mitre upon his head and put the holy
crown upon the mitre. Then take the anointing oil and pour it upon his
head and anoint him. And bring his sons and put albes upon them, and
girth them with girdles: as well Aaron as his sons. And put the bonnets
on them that the priest's office may be theirs for a perpetual law. And
fill the hands of Aaron and of his sons, and bring the ox before the
tabernacle of witness. And let Aaron and his sons put their hands upon
his head and kill him before the LORD in the door of the tabernacle of
witness. And take of the blood of the ox and put it upon the horns of
the altar with thy finger and pour all the blood upon the bottom of the
altar, and take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul
that is on the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat that is upon
them: and burn them upon the altar. But the flesh of the ox and his
skin and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire, without the host. For it
is a sin offering. Then take one of the rams, and let Aaron and his
sons put their hands upon the head of the ram, and cause him to be
slain, and take of his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the
altar, and cut the ram in pieces and wash the inwards of him and his
legs, and put them unto the pieces and unto his head, and burn the
whole ram upon the altar. For it is a burnt offering unto the LORD, and
a sweet savour of the LORD's sacrifice. And take the other ram and let
Aaron and his sons, put their hands upon his head and let him then be
killed. And take of his blood and put it upon the tip of the right ear
of Aaron and of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hands, and
upon the great toe of their right feet and sprinkle the blood upon the
altar round about. Then take of the blood that is upon the altar and of
the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron and his vestments, and
upon his sons and upon their garments also. Then is he and his clothes
holy and his sons and their clothes holy also. Then take the fat of the
ram and his rump and the fat that covereth the inwards and the caul of
the liver and, the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them and the
right shoulder (for that ram is a full offering) and a simnel of bread
and a cake of oiled bread and a wafer out of the basket of sweet bread
