Exode 29:1-10

1 Et voici ce que tu leur feras pour les consacrer, pour qu'ils exercent devant moi la sacrificature. Prends un jeune taureau, et deux béliers sans défaut,
2 Et des pains sans levain, et des gâteaux sans levain pétris à l'huile, et des beignets sans levain, oints d'huile; tu les feras de fine farine de froment.
3 Tu les mettras sur une corbeille, et tu les présenteras dans la corbeille; tu présenteras aussi le jeune taureau et les deux béliers.
4 Alors tu feras approcher Aaron et ses fils à l'entrée du tabernacle d'assignation, et tu les laveras avec de l'eau.
5 Puis tu prendras les vêtements, et tu revêtiras Aaron de la tunique, de la robe de l'éphod, de l'éphod et du pectoral, et tu le ceindras de la ceinture de l'éphod.
6 Et tu mettras la tiare sur sa tête, et tu placeras la couronne de sainteté sur la tiare.
7 Et tu prendras l'huile de l'onction; tu la répandras sur sa tête, et tu l'oindras.
8 Tu feras approcher ses fils, et tu les revêtiras de tuniques.
9 Et tu ceindras de ceintures Aaron et ses fils, et tu leur attacheras des mitres, et la sacrificature leur appartiendra par ordonnance perpétuelle. C'est ainsi que tu installeras Aaron et ses fils.
10 Ensuite tu feras approcher le jeune taureau devant le tabernacle d'assignation, et Aaron et ses fils appuieront leurs mains sur la tête de ce 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.
