Êxodo 29:1-8

1 Isto é o que lhes farás para os santificar, para que me administrem o sacerdócio: Toma um novilho e dois carneiros sem defeito,

2 e pão ázimo, e bolos ázimos, amassados com azeite, e coscorões ázimos, untados com azeite; de flor de farinha de trigo os farás;

3 e os porás num cesto, e os trarás no cesto, com o novilho e os dois carneiros.

4 Então farás chegar Arão e seus filhos � porta da tenda da revelação e os lavarás, com água.

5 Depois tomarás as vestes, e vestirás a Arão da túnica e do manto do éfode, e do éfode mesmo, e do peitoral, e lhe cingirás o éfode com o seu cinto de obra esmerada;

6 e pôr-lhe-ás a mitra na cabeça; e sobre a mitra porás a coroa de santidade;

7 então tomarás o óleo da unção e, derramando-lho sobre a cabeça, o ungirás.

8 Depois farás chegar seus filhos, e lhes farás vestir túnicas,

INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS 29

This chapter gives an account of the form and order of the consecration of Aaron and his sons to the priestly office; preparatory to which Moses is ordered to take a young bullock, two rams, bread, cakes, and wafers unleavened, and bring them and Aaron and his sons to the door of the congregation, where the ceremony was to be publicly performed, and which began with washing them, Ex 29:1-4 and then proceeded by putting on the priestly garments directed to be made in the preceding chapter, first on Aaron, who also was anointed, Ex 29:5-7 and then upon his sons, Ex 29:8,9 after which the bullock and the two rams were to be slain, and orders are given what was to be done with their blood, and the several parts of them, as well as with the cakes and wafers, Ex 29:10-23 and directions are given to make these wave and heave offerings, Ex 29:24-28 and that the garments of Aaron's should be his son's that succeeded him, Ex 29:29,30, and that the flesh of the ram of consecration with the bread should be eaten by Aaron and his sons and no other, Ex 29:31-35, the altar also where they were to officiate was to be cleansed, sanctified, and an atonement made for it, Ex 29:36,37 after which two lambs every day, morning and evening, were to be offered on it in all succeeding generations, Ex 29:38-42, and the chapter is closed with a promise that the Lord would meet with the children of Israel at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and would sanctify the tabernacle, and dwell among them, and be their God, Ex 29:43-46.
