Seeker Overlay ON
*
And take you to you Aaron your brother ,
and his sons with him ,
from among the children of Israel ,
that he may minister to me in the priest '
office ,
even Aaron ,
Nadab and Abihu ,
Eleazar and Ithamar ,
Aaron '
sons .
*
And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother for glory and for beauty .
*
And you shall speak to all that are wise hearted ,
whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom ,
that they may make Aaron '
garments to consecrate him ,
that he may minister to me in the priest '
office .
*
And these are the garments which they shall make ;
a breastplate ,
and an ephod ,
and a robe ,
and a broidered coat ,
a turban ,
and a girdle :
and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother ,
and his sons ,
that he may minister to me in the priest '
office .
*
And they shall take gold ,
and blue ,
and purple ,
and scarlet ,
and fine linen .
*
And they shall make the ephod of gold ,
of blue ,
and of purple ,
of scarlet ,
and fine twined linen ,
with cunning work .
*
It shall have the two shoulder pieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof ;
and so it shall be joined together .
*
And the curious girdle of the ephod ,
which is on it ,
shall be of the same ,
according to the work thereof ;
even of gold ,
of blue ,
and purple ,
and scarlet ,
and fine twined linen .
*
And you shall take two onyx stones ,
and grave on them the names of the children of Israel :
*
Six of their names on one stone ,
and the other six names of the rest on the other stone ,
according to their birth .
*
With the work of an engraver in stone ,
like the engravings of a signet ,
shall you engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel :
you shall make them to be set in ouches of gold .
*
And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial to the children of Israel :
and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD on his two shoulders for a memorial .
*
And you shall make ouches of gold ;
*
And two chains of pure gold at the ends ;
of wreathen work shall you make them ,
and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches .
*
And you shall make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work ;
after the work of the ephod you shall make it ;
of gold ,
of blue ,
and of purple ,
and of scarlet ,
and of fine twined linen ,
shall you make it .
*
Foursquare it shall be being doubled ;
a span shall be the length thereof ,
and a span shall be the breadth thereof .
*
And you shall set in it settings of stones ,
even four rows of stones :
the first row shall be a sardius ,
a topaz ,
and a carbuncle :
this shall be the first row .
*
And the second row shall be an emerald ,
a sapphire ,
and a diamond .
*
And the third row a ligure ,
an agate ,
and an amethyst .
*
And the fourth row a beryl ,
and an onyx ,
and a jasper :
they shall be set in gold in their settings .
*
And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel ,
twelve ,
according to their names ,
like the engravings of a signet ;
every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes .
*
And you shall make on the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold .
*
And you shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold ,
and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate .
*
And you shall put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate .
*
And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains you shall fasten in the two ouches ,
and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod before it .
*
And you shall make two rings of gold ,
and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof ,
which is in the side of the ephod inward .
*
And two other rings of gold you shall make ,
and shall put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath ,
toward the forepart thereof ,
over against the other coupling thereof ,
above the curious girdle of the ephod .
*
And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue ,
that it may be above the curious girdle of the ephod ,
and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod .
*
And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart ,
when he goes in to the holy place ,
for a memorial before the LORD continually .
*
And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim ;
and they shall be on Aaron '
heart ,
when he goes in before the LORD :
and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before the LORD continually .
*
And you shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue .
*
And there shall be an hole in the top of it ,
in the middle thereof :
it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it ,
as it were the hole of an habergeon ,
that it be not rent .
*
And beneath on the hem of it you shall make pomegranates of blue ,
and of purple ,
and of scarlet ,
round about the hem thereof ;
and bells of gold between them round about :
*
A golden bell and a pomegranate ,
a golden bell and a pomegranate ,
on the hem of the robe round about .
*
And it shall be on Aaron to minister :
and his sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before the LORD ,
and when he comes out ,
that he die not .
*
And you shall make a plate of pure gold ,
and grave on it ,
like the engravings of a signet ,
HOLINESS TO THE LORD .
*
And you shall put it on a blue lace ,
that it may be on the turban ;
on the forefront of the turban it shall be .
*
And it shall be on Aaron '
forehead ,
that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things ,
which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts ;
and it shall be always on his forehead ,
that they may be accepted before the LORD .
*
And you shall embroider the coat of fine linen ,
and you shall make the turban of fine linen ,
and you shall make the girdle of needlework .
*
And for Aaron '
sons you shall make coats ,
and you shall make for them girdles ,
and bonnets shall you make for them ,
for glory and for beauty .
*
And you shall put them on Aaron your brother ,
and his sons with him ;
and shall anoint them ,
and consecrate them ,
and sanctify them ,
that they may minister to me in the priest '
office .
*
And you shall make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness ;
from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach :
*
And they shall be on Aaron ,
and on his sons ,
when they come in to the tabernacle of the congregation ,
or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place ;
that they bear not iniquity ,
and die :
it shall be a statute for ever to him and his seed after him .
*
And this is the thing that you shall do to them to hallow them ,
to minister to me in the priest '
office :
Take one young bullock ,
and two rams without blemish ,
*
And unleavened bread ,
and cakes unleavened tempered with oil ,
and wafers unleavened anointed with oil :
of wheaten flour shall you make them .
*
And you shall put them into one basket ,
and bring them in the basket ,
with the bullock and the two rams .
*
And Aaron and his sons you shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and shall wash them with water .
*
And you shall take the garments ,
and put on Aaron the coat ,
and the robe of the ephod ,
and the ephod ,
and the breastplate ,
and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod :
*
And you shall put the turban on his head ,
and put the holy crown on the turban .
*
Then shall you take the anointing oil ,
and pour it on his head ,
and anoint him .
*
And you shall bring his sons ,
and put coats on them .
*
And you shall gird them with girdles ,
Aaron and his sons ,
and put the bonnets on them :
and the priest '
office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute :
and you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons .
*
And you shall cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation :
and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bullock .
*
And you shall kill the bullock before the LORD ,
by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And you shall take of the blood of the bullock ,
and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger ,
and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar .
*
And you shall take all the fat that covers the inwards ,
and the lobe that is above the liver ,
and the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is on them ,
and burn them on the altar .
*
But the flesh of the bullock ,
and his skin ,
and his dung ,
shall you burn with fire without the camp :
it is a sin offering .
*
You shall also take one ram ;
and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram .
*
And you shall slay the ram ,
and you shall take his blood ,
and sprinkle it round about on the altar .
*
And you shall cut the ram in pieces ,
and wash the inwards of him ,
and his legs ,
and put them to his pieces ,
and to his head .
*
And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar :
it is a burnt offering to the LORD :
it is a sweet smell ,
an offering made by fire to the LORD .
*
And you shall take the other ram ;
and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram .
*
Then shall you kill the ram ,
and take of his blood ,
and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron ,
and on the tip of the right ear of his sons ,
and on the thumb of their right hand ,
and on the great toe of their right foot ,
and sprinkle the blood on the altar round about .
*
And you shall take of the blood that is on the altar ,
and of the anointing oil ,
and sprinkle it on Aaron ,
and on his garments ,
and on his sons ,
and on the garments of his sons with him :
and he shall be hallowed ,
and his garments ,
and his sons ,
and his sons '
garments with him .
*
Also you shall take of the ram the fat and the rump ,
and the fat that covers the inwards ,
and the lobe above the liver ,
and the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is on them ,
and the right shoulder ;
for it is a ram of consecration :
*
And one loaf of bread ,
and one cake of oiled bread ,
and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD :
*
And you shall put all in the hands of Aaron ,
and in the hands of his sons ;
and shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD .
*
And you shall receive them of their hands ,
and burn them on the altar for a burnt offering ,
for a sweet smell before the LORD :
it is an offering made by fire to the LORD .
*
And you shall take the breast of the ram of Aaron '
consecration ,
and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD :
and it shall be your part .
*
And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering ,
and the shoulder of the heave offering ,
which is waved ,
and which is heaved up ,
of the ram of the consecration ,
even of that which is for Aaron ,
and of that which is for his sons :
*
And it shall be Aaron '
and his sons '
by a statute for ever from the children of Israel :
for it is an heave offering :
and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings ,
even their heave offering to the LORD .
*
And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons '
after him ,
to be anointed therein ,
and to be consecrated in them .
*
And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days ,
when he comes into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place .
*
And you shall take the ram of the consecration ,
and seethe his flesh in the holy place .
*
And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram ,
and the bread that is in the basket by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And they shall eat those things with which the atonement was made ,
to consecrate and to sanctify them :
but a stranger shall not eat thereof ,
because they are holy .
*
And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations ,
or of the bread ,
remain to the morning ,
then you shall burn the remainder with fire :
it shall not be eaten ,
because it is holy .
*
And thus shall you do to Aaron ,
and to his sons ,
according to all things which I have commanded you :
seven days shall you consecrate them .
*
And you shall offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement :
and you shall cleanse the altar ,
when you have made an atonement for it ,
and you shall anoint it ,
to sanctify it .
*
Seven days you shall make an atonement for the altar ,
and sanctify it ;
and it shall be an altar most holy :
whatever touches the altar shall be holy .
*
Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar ;
two lambs of the first year day by day continually .
*
The one lamb you shall offer in the morning ;
and the other lamb you shall offer at even :
*
And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil ;
and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering .
*
And the other lamb you shall offer at even ,
and shall do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning ,
and according to the drink offering thereof ,
for a sweet smell ,
an offering made by fire to the LORD .
*
This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD :
where I will meet you ,
to speak there to you .
*
And there I will meet with the children of Israel ,
and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory .
*
And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and the altar :
I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons ,
to minister to me in the priest '
office .
*
And I will dwell among the children of Israel ,
and will be their God .
*
And they shall know that I am the LORD their God ,
that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt ,
that I may dwell among them :
I am the LORD their God .
*
And you shall make an altar to burn incense on :
of shittim wood shall you make it .
*
A cubit shall be the length thereof ,
and a cubit the breadth thereof ;
foursquare shall it be :
and two cubits shall be the height thereof :
the horns thereof shall be of the same .
*
And you shall overlay it with pure gold ,
the top thereof ,
and the sides thereof round about ,
and the horns thereof ;
and you shall make to it a crown of gold round about .
*
And two golden rings shall you make to it under the crown of it ,
by the two corners thereof ,
on the two sides of it shall you make it ;
and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it with .
*
And you shall make the staves of shittim wood ,
and overlay them with gold .
*
And you shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony ,
before the mercy seat that is over the testimony ,
where I will meet with you .
*
And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning :
when he dresses the lamps ,
he shall burn incense on it .
*
And when Aaron lights the lamps at even ,
he shall burn incense on it ,
a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations .
*
You shall offer no strange incense thereon ,
nor burnt sacrifice ,
nor meat offering ;
neither shall you pour drink offering thereon .
*
And Aaron shall make an atonement on the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements :
once in the year shall he make atonement on it throughout your generations :
it is most holy to the LORD .
*
And the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
When you take the sum of the children of Israel after their number ,
then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to the LORD ,
when you number them ;
that there be no plague among them ,
when you number them .
*
This they shall give ,
every one that passes among them that are numbered ,
half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary : (
a shekel is twenty gerahs :)
an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD .
*
Every one that passes among them that are numbered ,
from twenty years old and above ,
shall give an offering to the LORD .
*
The rich shall not give more ,
and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel ,
when they give an offering to the LORD ,
to make an atonement for your souls .
*
And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel ,
and shall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation ;
that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before the LORD ,
to make an atonement for your souls .
*
And the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
You shall also make a laver of brass ,
and his foot also of brass ,
to wash with :
and you shall put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar ,
and you shall put water therein .
*
For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat :
*
When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation ,
they shall wash with water ,
that they die not ;
or when they come near to the altar to minister ,
to burn offering made by fire to the LORD :
*
So they shall wash their hands and their feet ,
that they die not :
and it shall be a statute for ever to them ,
even to him and to his seed throughout their generations .
*
Moreover the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
Take you also to you principal spices ,
of pure myrrh five hundred shekels ,
and of sweet cinnamon half so much ,
even two hundred and fifty shekels ,
and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels ,
*
And of cassia five hundred shekels ,
after the shekel of the sanctuary ,
and of oil olive an hin :
*
And you shall make it an oil of holy ointment ,
an ointment compound after the are of the apothecary :
it shall be an holy anointing oil .
*
And you shall anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith ,
and the ark of the testimony ,
*
And the table and all his vessels ,
and the candlestick and his vessels ,
and the altar of incense ,
*
And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels ,
and the laver and his foot .
*
And you shall sanctify them ,
that they may be most holy :
whatever touches them shall be holy .
*
And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons ,
and consecrate them ,
that they may minister to me in the priest '
office .
*
And you shall speak to the children of Israel ,
saying ,
This shall be an holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations .
*
On man '
flesh shall it not be poured ,
neither shall you make any other like it ,
after the composition of it :
it is holy ,
and it shall be holy to you .
*
Whoever compounds any like it ,
or whoever puts any of it on a stranger ,
shall even be cut off from his people .
*
And the LORD said to Moses ,
Take to you sweet spices ,
stacte ,
and onycha ,
and galbanum ;
these sweet spices with pure frankincense :
of each shall there be a like weight :
*
And you shall make it a perfume ,
a confection after the are of the apothecary ,
tempered together ,
pure and holy :
*
And you shall beat some of it very small ,
and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation ,
where I will meet with you :
it shall be to you most holy .
*
And as for the perfume which you shall make ,
you shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof :
it shall be to you holy for the LORD .
*
Whoever shall make like to that ,
to smell thereto ,
shall even be cut off from his people .
*
And the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
