Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### Ordination of the Priests [[#Verse 01.]] Then the Lord spoke to Moses:  [[#Verse 02.]] “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, the anointing oil, the sin offering bull, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,  [[#Verse 03.]] and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.”  [[#Verse 04.]] So Moses did just as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation assembled at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.  [[#Verse 05.]] Then Moses said to the congregation: “This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.” ### Clothing Aaron [[#Verse 06.]] So Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water.  [[#Verse 07.]] Then he put the tunic on Aaron, wrapped the sash around him, and clothed him with the robe. Next he put the ephod on him and placed on him the decorated band of the ephod, and fastened the ephod closely to him with the band.  [[#Verse 08.]] He then set the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim into the breastpiece.  [[#Verse 09.]] Finally, he set the turban on his head and attached the gold plate, the holy diadem, to the front of the turban just as the Lord had commanded Moses. ### Anointing the Tabernacle and Aaron, and Clothing Aaron’s Sons [[#Verse 10.]] Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated them.  [[#Verse 11.]] Next he sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times and so anointed the altar, all its vessels, and the washbasin and its stand to consecrate them.  [[#Verse 12.]] He then poured some of the anointing oil on the head of Aaron and anointed him to consecrate him.  [[#Verse 13.]] Moses also brought forward Aaron’s sons, clothed them with tunics, wrapped sashes around them, and wrapped headbands on them just as the Lord had commanded Moses. ### Consecration Offerings [[#Verse 14.]] Then he brought near the sin offering bull and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the sin offering bull,  [[#Verse 15.]] and he slaughtered it. Moses then took the blood and put it all around on the horns of the altar with his finger and purified the altar, and he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and so consecrated it to make atonement on it.  [[#Verse 16.]] Then he took all the fat on the entrails, the protruding lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses offered it all up in smoke on the altar,  [[#Verse 17.]] but the rest of the bull—its hide, its flesh, and its dung—he completely burned up outside the camp just as the Lord had commanded Moses. [[#Verse 18.]] Then he presented the burnt offering ram and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,  [[#Verse 19.]] and he slaughtered it. Moses then splashed the blood against the altar’s sides.  [[#Verse 20.]] Then he cut the ram into parts, and Moses offered the head, the parts, and the suet up in smoke,  [[#Verse 21.]] but the entrails and the legs he washed with water, and Moses offered the whole ram up in smoke on the altar—it was a burnt offering for a soothing aroma, a gift to the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. [[#Verse 22.]] Then he presented the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram  [[#Verse 23.]] and he slaughtered it. Moses then took some of its blood and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.  [[#Verse 24.]] Next he brought Aaron’s sons forward, and Moses put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on their right thumbs, and on the big toes of their right feet, and Moses splashed the rest of the blood against the altar’s sides. [[#Verse 25.]] Then he took the fat (the fatty tail, all the fat on the entrails, the protruding lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat) and the right thigh,  [[#Verse 26.]] and from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord he took one unleavened loaf, one loaf of bread mixed with olive oil, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat parts and on the right thigh.  [[#Verse 27.]] He then put all of them on the palms of Aaron and his sons, who waved them as a wave offering before the Lord.  [[#Verse 28.]] Moses then took them from their palms and offered them up in smoke on the altar on top of the burnt offering—they were an ordination offering for a soothing aroma; it was a gift to the Lord.  [[#Verse 29.]] Finally, Moses took the breast and waved it as a wave offering before the Lord from the ram of ordination. It was Moses’ share just as the Lord had commanded Moses. ### Anointing Aaron, his Sons, and their Garments [[#Verse 30.]] Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and his sons’ garments. So he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons’ garments.  [[#Verse 31.]] Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance of the Meeting Tent, and there you are to eat it and the bread which is in the ordination offering basket, just as I have commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons are to eat it,’  [[#Verse 32.]] but the remainder of the meat and the bread you must burn with fire.  [[#Verse 33.]] And you must not go out from the entrance of the Meeting Tent for seven days, until the day when your days of ordination are completed, because you must be ordained over a seven-day period.  [[#Verse 34.]] What has been done on this day the Lord has commanded to be done to make atonement for you.  [[#Verse 35.]] You must reside at the entrance of the Meeting Tent day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the Lord so that you will not die, for this is what I have been commanded.”  [[#Verse 36.]] So Aaron and his sons did all the things the Lord had commanded through Moses. ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ###### Verse 24. ###### Verse 25. ###### Verse 26. ###### Verse 27. ###### Verse 28. ###### Verse 29. ###### Verse 30. ###### Verse 31. ###### Verse 32. ###### Verse 33. ###### Verse 34. ###### Verse 35. ###### Verse 36. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
