Exodus 29:1-13 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. “Now I will tell you what you must do to show that Aaron and his sons serve me in a special way as priests. Find one young bull and two rams that have nothing wrong with them.

2. Then use fine wheat flour without yeast to make bread. And use the same things to make cakes mixed with olive oil. Make small thin cakes spread with oil.

3. Put this bread and the cakes in a basket. Then give the basket to Aaron and his sons. At the same time, give them the bull and the two rams.

4. “Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Meeting Tent. Wash them with water.

5. Put the special clothes on Aaron. Put on him the white woven robe and the blue robe that is worn with the ephod. Put the ephod and the judgment pouch on him. Then tie the beautiful cloth belt on him.

6. Put the turban on his head and the special crown around the turban.

7. Take the anointing oil and pour it on Aaron’s head. This will show that he is chosen for this work.

8. “Then bring Aaron’s sons to that place. Put the white woven robes on them.

9. Then tie cloth belts around their waists, and give them cloth caps to wear. At that time they will begin to be priests. They will be priests because of the special law that will continue forever. This is the way you will make Aaron and his sons priests.

10. “Then bring the bull to that place at the front of the Meeting Tent. Aaron and his sons must put their hands on the bull’s head.

11. Then kill the bull there in the Lord’S presence at the entrance to the Meeting Tent.

12. Then take some of the bull’s blood and go to the altar. Use your finger to put some blood on the horns of the altar. Pour out all the blood that is left at the bottom of the altar.

13. Then take all the fat from inside the bull, the fatty part of the liver, both kidneys, and the fat around them. Burn this fat on the altar.
