The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 “Now this is what you shall do to them to consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests. Take one bull of the herd and two rams without blemish,
1
sed et hoc facies ut mihi in sacerdotio consecrentur tolle vitulum de armento et arietes duos inmaculatos
2 and unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil. You shall make them of fine wheat flour.
2
panesque azymos et crustula absque fermento quae conspersa sint oleo lagana quoque azyma oleo lita de simila triticea cuncta facies

et posita in canistro offeres vitulum autem et duos arietes

4
et Aaron ac filios eius adplicabis ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii cumque laveris patrem cum filiis aqua

indues Aaron vestimentis suis id est linea et tunica et superumerali et rationali quod constringes balteo

et pones tiaram in capite eius et lamminam sanctam super tiaram

8
filios quoque illius adplicabis et indues tunicis lineis cingesque balteo
9 and you shall gird Aaron and his sons with sashes and bind caps on them. And the priesthood shall be theirs by a statute forever. Thus you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.
9
Aaron scilicet et liberos eius et inpones eis mitras eruntque sacerdotes mei in religione perpetua postquam initiaveris manus eorum
10 “Then you shall bring the bull before the tent of meeting. Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.
10
adplicabis et vitulum coram tabernaculo testimonii inponentque Aaron et filii eius manus super caput illius
11 Then you shall kill the bull before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting,
11
et mactabis eum in conspectu Domini iuxta ostium tabernaculi testimonii
12 and shall take part of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar.

sumptumque de sanguine vituli pones super cornua altaris digito tuo reliquum autem sanguinem fundes iuxta basim eius

sumes et adipem totum qui operit intestina et reticulum iecoris ac duos renes et adipem qui super eos est et offeres incensum super altare

14
carnes vero vituli et corium et fimum conbures foris extra castra eo quod pro peccato sit

15
unum quoque arietum sumes super cuius caput ponent Aaron et filii eius manus

16
quem cum mactaveris tolles de sanguine eius et fundes circa altare

17
ipsum autem arietem secabis in frusta lotaque intestina eius ac pedes pones super concisas carnes et super caput illius
18 and burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.

et offeres totum arietem in incensum super altare oblatio est Domini odor suavissimus victimae Dei

quem cum immolaveris sumes de sanguine ipsius et pones super extremum dextrae auriculae Aaron et filiorum eius et super pollices manus eorum et pedis dextri fundesque sanguinem super altare per circuitum
21 Then you shall take part of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and his sons’ garments with him. He and his garments shall be holy, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.
21
cumque tuleris de sanguine qui est super altare et de oleo unctionis asperges Aaron et vestes eius filios et vestimenta eorum consecratisque et ipsis et vestibus
22 “You shall also take the fat from the ram and the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, and the long lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of ordination),
22
tolles adipem de ariete et caudam et arvinam quae operit vitalia ac reticulum iecoris et duos renes atque adipem qui super eos est armumque dextrum eo quod sit aries consecrationum
23 and one loaf of bread and one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord.

tortam panis unius crustulum conspersum oleo laganum de canistro azymorum quod positum est in conspectu Domini

24
ponesque omnia super manus Aaron et filiorum eius et sanctificabis eos elevans coram Domino
25 Then you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma before the Lord. It is a food offering to the Lord.
25
suscipiesque universa de manibus eorum et incendes super altare in holocaustum odorem suavissimum in conspectu Domini quia oblatio eius est
26 “You shall take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s ordination and wave it for a wave offering before the Lord, and it shall be your portion.
26
sumes quoque pectusculum de ariete quo initiatus est Aaron sanctificabisque illud elatum coram Domino et cedet in partem tuam
27 And you shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the priests’ portion that is contributed from the ram of ordination, from what was Aaron’s and his sons’.
27
sanctificabis et pectusculum consecratum et armum quem de ariete separasti
28 It shall be for Aaron and his sons as a perpetual due from the people of Israel, for it is a contribution. It shall be a contribution from the people of Israel from their peace offerings, their contribution to the Lord.
28
quo initiatus est Aaron et filii eius cedentque in partem Aaron et filiorum eius iure perpetuo a filiis Israhel quia primitiva sunt et initia de victimis eorum pacificis quae offerunt Domino
29 “The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him; they shall be anointed in them and ordained in them.
29
vestem autem sanctam qua utitur Aaron habebunt filii eius post eum ut unguantur in ea et consecrentur manus eorum
30 The son who succeeds him as priest, who comes into the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place, shall wear them seven days.
30
septem diebus utetur illa qui pontifex pro eo fuerit constitutus de filiis eius et qui ingredietur tabernaculum testimonii ut ministret in sanctuario
31 “You shall take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place.
31
arietem autem consecrationum tolles et coques carnes eius in loco sancto
32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket in the entrance of the tent of meeting.
32
quibus vescetur Aaron et filii eius panes quoque qui sunt in canistro in vestibulo tabernaculi testimonii comedent
33 They shall eat those things with which atonement was made at their ordination and consecration, but an outsider shall not eat of them, because they are holy.
33
ut sit placabile sacrificium et sanctificentur offerentium manus alienigena non vescetur ex eis quia sancti sunt
34 And if any of the flesh for the ordination or of the bread remain until the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
34
quod si remanserit de carnibus consecratis sive de panibus usque mane conbures reliquias igni non comedentur quia sanctificata sunt
35 “Thus you shall do to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. Through seven days shall you ordain them,
35
omnia quae praecepi tibi facies super Aaron et filiis eius septem diebus consecrabis manus eorum
36 and every day you shall offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement. Also you shall purify the altar, when you make atonement for it, and shall anoint it to consecrate it.
36
et vitulum pro peccato offeres per singulos dies ad expiandum mundabisque altare cum immolaris expiationis hostiam et ungues illud in sanctificationem
37 Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it, and the altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the altar shall become holy.
37
septem diebus expiabis altare et sanctificabis et erit sanctum sanctorum omnis qui tetigerit illud sanctificabitur
38 “Now this is what you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day regularly.
38
hoc est quod facies in altari agnos anniculos duos per singulos dies iugiter
39 One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight.
39
unum agnum mane et alterum vespere
40 And with the first lamb a tenth measure of fine flour mingled with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
40
decimam partem similae conspersae oleo tunso quod habeat mensuram quartam partem hin et vinum ad libandum eiusdem mensurae in agno uno
41 The other lamb you shall offer at twilight, and shall offer with it a grain offering and its drink offering, as in the morning, for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.
41
alterum vero agnum offeres ad vesperam iuxta ritum matutinae oblationis et iuxta ea quae diximus in odorem suavitatis
42 It shall be a regular burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will meet with you, to speak to you there.
42
sacrificium Domino oblatione perpetua in generationes vestras ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino ubi constituam ut loquar ad te
43 There I will meet with the people of Israel, and it shall be sanctified by my glory.
43
ibique praecipiam filiis Israhel et sanctificabitur altare in gloria mea
44 I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar. Aaron also and his sons I will consecrate to serve me as priests.
44
sanctificabo et tabernaculum testimonii cum altari et Aaron cum filiis eius ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi
45 I will dwell among the people of Israel and will be their God.
45
et habitabo in medio filiorum Israhel eroque eis Deus
46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.
46
et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum qui eduxi eos de terra Aegypti ut manerem inter illos ego Dominus Deus ipsorum
