Exodus 29:1-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. "But you shall also do this, so that they may be consecrated to me in the priesthood: Take a calf from the herd, and two immaculate rams,

2. and unleavened bread, and a crust without leaven that has been sprinkled with oil, likewise, unleavened cakes smeared with oil. You shall make them all from the same wheat flour.

3. And, having placed them in baskets, you shall offer them, along with the calf and the two rams.

4. And you shall bring forward Aaron and his sons, to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. And when you will have washed the father with his sons in water,

5. you shall clothe Aaron in his vestments, that is, with the linen, and the tunic, and the ephod, and the breastplate, which you shall draw together with the wide belt.

6. And you shall place the headdress on his head and the holy plate upon the headdress.

7. And you shall pour the oil of unction over his head. And so, by this rite, he shall be consecrated.

8. Likewise, you shall bring forward his sons, and you shall clothe them in the linen tunics, and wrap them with the wide belt:

9. Aaron, certainly, as well as his sons. And you shall impose headdresses upon them. And they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. After you have initiated their hands,

10. you shall bring forward also the calf, in the presence of the tabernacle of the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon its head.

11. And you shall sacrifice it in the sight of the Lord, beside the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
