Exode 29:1-10

1 Voici ce que tu feras pour les sanctifier, afin qu'ils soient à mon service dans le sacerdoce. Prends un jeune taureau et deux béliers sans défaut.
2 Fais, avec de la fleur de farine de froment, des pains sans levain, des gâteaux sans levain pétris à l'huile, et des galettes sans levain arrosées d'huile.
3 Tu les mettras dans une corbeille, en offrant le jeune taureau et les deux béliers.
4 Tu feras avancer Aaron et ses fils vers l'entrée de la tente d'assignation, et tu les laveras avec de l'eau.
5 Tu prendras les vêtements; tu revêtiras Aaron de la tunique, de la robe de l'éphod, de l'éphod et du pectoral, et tu mettras sur lui la ceinture de l'éphod.
6 Tu poseras la tiare sur sa tête, et tu placeras le diadème de sainteté sur la tiare.
7 Tu prendras l'huile d'onction, tu en répandras sur sa tête, et tu l'oindras.
8 Tu feras approcher ses fils, et tu les revêtiras des tuniques.
9 Tu mettras une ceinture à Aaron et à ses fils, et tu attacheras des bonnets aux fils d'Aaron. Le sacerdoce leur appartiendra par une loi perpétuelle. Tu consacreras donc Aaron et ses fils.
10 Tu amèneras le taureau devant la tente d'assignation, et Aaron et ses fils poseront leurs mains sur la tête du taureau.

Exode 29:1-10 Meaning and Commentary

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.
