Seeker Overlay ON
*
And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother ,
and his sons with him ,
from among the children of Israel ,
that he may minister unto me in the priest '
s office ,
even Aaron ,
Nadab and Abihu ,
Eleazar and Ithamar ,
Aaron '
s sons .
*
And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty .
*
And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted ,
whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom ,
that they may make Aaron '
s garments to consecrate him ,
that he may minister unto me in the priest '
s office .
*
And these are the garments which they shall make ;
a breastplate ,
and an ephod ,
and a robe ,
and a broidered coat ,
a mitre ,
and a girdle :
and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother ,
and his sons ,
that he may minister unto me in the priest '
s 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 shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof ;
and so it shall be joined together .
*
And the curious girdle of the ephod ,
which is upon 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 thou shalt 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 ,
shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel :
thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold .
*
And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel :
and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial .
*
And thou shalt make ouches of gold ;
*
And two chains of pure gold at the ends ;
of wreathen work shalt thou make them ,
and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches .
*
And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work ;
after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it ;
of gold ,
of blue ,
and of purple ,
and of scarlet ,
and of fine twined linen ,
shalt thou make it .
*
Foursquare it shall be being doubled ;
a span shall be the length thereof ,
and a span shall be the breadth thereof .
*
And thou shalt 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 inclosings .
*
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 thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold .
*
And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold ,
and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate .
*
And thou shalt 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 thou shalt fasten in the two ouches ,
and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it .
*
And thou shalt make two rings of gold ,
and thou shalt put them upon 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 thou shalt make ,
and shalt 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 unto 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 upon his heart ,
when he goeth in unto the holy place ,
for a memorial before the LORD continually .
*
And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim ;
and they shall be upon Aaron '
s heart ,
when he goeth in before the LORD :
and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually .
*
And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue .
*
And there shall be an hole in the top of it ,
in the midst 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 upon the hem of it thou shalt 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 ,
upon the hem of the robe round about .
*
And it shall be upon Aaron to minister :
and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD ,
and when he cometh out ,
that he die not .
*
And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold ,
and grave upon it ,
like the engravings of a signet ,
HOLINESS TO THE LORD .
*
And thou shalt put it on a blue lace ,
that it may be upon the mitre ;
upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be .
*
And it shall be upon Aaron '
s 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 upon his forehead ,
that they may be accepted before the LORD .
*
And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen ,
and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen ,
and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework .
*
And for Aaron '
s sons thou shalt make coats ,
and thou shalt make for them girdles ,
and bonnets shalt thou make for them ,
for glory and for beauty .
*
And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother ,
and his sons with him ;
and shalt anoint them ,
and consecrate them ,
and sanctify them ,
that they may minister unto me in the priest '
s office .
*
And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness ;
from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach :
*
And they shall be upon Aaron ,
and upon his sons ,
when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation ,
or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place ;
that they bear not iniquity ,
and die :
it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him .
*
And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them ,
to minister unto me in the priest '
s 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 shalt thou make them .
*
And thou shalt put them into one basket ,
and bring them in the basket ,
with the bullock and the two rams .
*
And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and shalt wash them with water .
*
And thou shalt take the garments ,
and put upon 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 thou shalt put the mitre upon his head ,
and put the holy crown upon the mitre .
*
Then shalt thou take the anointing oil ,
and pour it upon his head ,
and anoint him .
*
And thou shalt bring his sons ,
and put coats upon them .
*
And thou shalt gird them with girdles ,
Aaron and his sons ,
and put the bonnets on them :
and the priest '
s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute :
and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons .
*
And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation :
and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock .
*
And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD ,
by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock ,
and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger ,
and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar .
*
And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards ,
and the caul that is above the liver ,
and the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is upon them ,
and burn them upon the altar .
*
But the flesh of the bullock ,
and his skin ,
and his dung ,
shalt thou burn with fire without the camp :
it is a sin offering .
*
Thou shalt also take one ram ;
and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram .
*
And thou shalt slay the ram ,
and thou shalt take his blood ,
and sprinkle it round about upon the altar .
*
And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces ,
and wash the inwards of him ,
and his legs ,
and put them unto his pieces ,
and unto his head .
*
And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar :
it is a burnt offering unto the LORD :
it is a sweet savour ,
an offering made by fire unto the LORD .
*
And thou shalt take the other ram ;
and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram .
*
Then shalt thou kill the ram ,
and take of his blood ,
and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron ,
and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons ,
and upon the thumb of their right hand ,
and upon the great toe of their right foot ,
and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about .
*
And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar ,
and of the anointing oil ,
and sprinkle it upon Aaron ,
and upon his garments ,
and upon his sons ,
and upon 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 thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump ,
and the fat that covereth the inwards ,
and the caul above the liver ,
and the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is upon 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 thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron ,
and in the hands of his sons ;
and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD .
*
And thou shalt receive them of their hands ,
and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering ,
for a sweet savour before the LORD :
it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD .
*
And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron '
s consecration ,
and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD :
and it shall be thy part .
*
And thou shalt 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 '
s 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 unto 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 cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place .
*
And thou shalt 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 wherewith 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 unto the morning ,
then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire :
it shall not be eaten ,
because it is holy .
*
And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron ,
and to his sons ,
according to all things which I have commanded thee :
seven days shalt thou consecrate them .
*
And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement :
and thou shalt cleanse the altar ,
when thou hast made an atonement for it ,
and thou shalt anoint it ,
to sanctify it .
*
Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar ,
and sanctify it ;
and it shall be an altar most holy :
whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy .
*
Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar ;
two lambs of the first year day by day continually .
*
The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning ;
and the other lamb thou shalt 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 thou shalt offer at even ,
and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning ,
and according to the drink offering thereof ,
for a sweet savour ,
an offering made by fire unto 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 unto thee .
*
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 '
s 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 thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon :
of shittim wood shalt thou make it .
