Exodus 29

²⁶Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

¹⁵“If someone acts unfaithfully and sins unintentionally against any of the Lord’s holy things, he must bring his guilt offering to the Lord: an unblemished ram from the flock, of proper value in silver shekels according to the sanctuary shekel; it is a guilt offering.

¹⁶Regarding any holy thing he has harmed, he must make restitution by adding a fifth of its value to it and giving it to the priest, who will make atonement on his behalf with the ram as a guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.

²¹And take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. Then he and his garments will be consecrated, as well as his sons and their garments.

³If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the Lord a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.

⁵Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

⁹So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

¹⁵together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—and a basket of unleavened cakes made from fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers coated with oil.

¹⁹And the priest is to take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them into the hands of the Nazirite who has just shaved the hair of his consecration.

¹⁹Then the Lord said to Moses,

²⁰“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons must present to the Lord on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

¹⁵And you are to put oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.

¹²If he offers it in thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.

²⁶And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.

²⁶And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.

¹⁷He shall also offer the ram as a peace offering to the Lord, along with the basket of unleavened bread. And the priest is to offer the accompanying grain offering and drink offering.

³¹And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons are to eat it.’

²“Take Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

¹²Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

²²let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

³⁶For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.

⁵He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

²⁵I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols.

⁵and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood,

⁶who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen.

⁷He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He tied the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.

⁸Then he put the breastpiece on him and placed the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.

²Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.

³You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make garments for Aaron’s consecration, so that he may serve Me as priest.

⁹Moses also put the turban on Aaron’s head and set the gold plate, the holy diadem, on the front of the turban, as the Lord had commanded him.

³⁶You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE Lord.

³⁷Fasten to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban.

²⁵The assembly is to protect the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge to which he fled, and he must live there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

¹⁰The priest who is highest among his brothers, who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair hang loose or tear his garments.

²⁰I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.

¹The Spirit of the Lord God is on Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,

³⁴For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

²It is like fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron’s beard over the collar of his robes.

¹³Then Moses presented Aaron’s sons, put tunics on them, wrapped sashes around them, and tied headbands on them, just as the Lord had commanded him.

⁴⁰Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons, to give them glory and splendor.

⁷But only you and your sons shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the veil, and you are to perform that service. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but any outsider who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death.”

²²After that, Moses presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

²³Moses slaughtered the ram and 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.

⁵For the Lord your God has chosen Levi and his sons out of all your tribes to stand and minister in His name for all time.

¹⁵Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may also serve Me as priests. Their anointing will qualify them for a permanent priesthood throughout their generations.”

³³You must not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are complete; for it will take seven days to ordain you.

³⁵And fire came forth from the Lord and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.

⁴He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

¹⁴Moses then brought the bull near for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

¹⁵Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.

¹⁹Take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

⁶We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.

²¹Then he is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man appointed for the task.

⁸So Aaron approached the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself.

¹²Then Aaron slaughtered the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it on all sides of the altar.

¹⁵Moses slaughtered the bull, took some of the blood, and applied it with his finger to all four horns of the altar, purifying the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it so that atonement could be made on it.

³If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for its acceptance before the Lord.

⁴He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

⁴Then present Aaron and his sons at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

²Make a horn on each of its four corners, so that the horns are of one piece, and overlay it with bronze.

¹⁵Moses slaughtered the bull, took some of the blood, and applied it with his finger to all four horns of the altar, purifying the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it so that atonement could be made on it.

⁹The sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and applied it to the horns of the altar. And he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

²It is to be square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns must be of one piece.

²²According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

²He made a horn at each of its four corners, so that the horns and altar were of one piece, and he overlaid the altar with bronze.

³From the peace offering he is to bring a food offering to the Lord: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

⁴both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.

¹⁶And if any man said to him, “The fat must be burned first; then you may take whatever you want,” the servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me right now. If you refuse, I will take it by force!”

²⁵And Moses took the fat—the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with their fat—as well as the right thigh.

⁶The priest will then splatter the blood on the altar of the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

¹¹“What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?” says the Lord. “I am full from the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I take no delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.

²²Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the lobe of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh (since this is a ram for ordination),

²¹Then he is to take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

¹¹But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—

¹²all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.

¹¹Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.

¹²And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, to sanctify the people by His own blood.

²⁴And the priests slaughtered the goats and put their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for all Israel, because the king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.

¹⁰Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on the horns of the altar. Throughout your generations he shall make atonement on it annually with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. The altar is most holy to the Lord.”

³⁵Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: 12 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, and a sin offering of 12 male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the Lord.

¹⁹Take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

³put them in a basket, and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams.

¹⁰You are to present the bull at the front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

¹⁸Then Moses presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

¹⁹Moses slaughtered the ram and splattered the blood on all sides of the altar.

⁴He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

⁵And he shall slaughter the young bull before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and splatter it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

¹¹And you shall slaughter the bull before the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

¹²Take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; then pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

⁹The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

¹³The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

¹⁴He washed the entrails and the legs and burned them atop the burnt offering on the altar.

²¹He washed the entrails and legs with water and burned the entire ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

¹⁴Wash the evil from your heart, O Jerusalem, so that you may be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts within you?

²⁶Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.

²¹When the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.

¹¹“What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?” says the Lord. “I am full from the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I take no delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.

²⁴Fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.

⁴Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for it was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on the altar there.

³⁸Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water in the trench.

²⁵Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar atop the burnt offering as a pleasing aroma before the Lord; it is a food offering to the Lord.

³put them in a basket, and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams.

²²After that, Moses presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

²³Moses slaughtered the ram and 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.

⁵The Lord God has opened My ears, and I have not been rebellious, nor have I turned back.

¹⁹He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.

¹⁹For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people,

²⁰saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”

⁷Seven times he shall sprinkle the one to be cleansed of the skin disease. Then he shall pronounce him clean and release the live bird into the open field.

²⁴to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

²²let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

²²According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

³⁰Next, Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated Aaron and his garments, as well as Aaron’s sons and their garments.

¹“Now this is what you are to do to consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without blemish,

⁷Then take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.

¹The Spirit of the Lord God is on Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,

²to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,

¹⁹For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.

¹³Take all the fat that covers the entrails and the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.

¹⁹They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver—

³²And you are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.

³³The son of Aaron who presents the blood and fat of the peace offering shall have the right thigh as a portion.

¹⁸And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.

²⁵And Moses took the fat—the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with their fat—as well as the right thigh.

²⁶And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.

²¹but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.

²along with unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil. Make them out of fine wheat flour,

³put them in a basket, and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams.

²⁶And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.

³⁰With his own hands he is to bring the food offerings to the Lord; he shall bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the Lord.

²⁷He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and waved them before the Lord as a wave offering.

²¹but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.

²⁶Take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s ordination and wave it before the Lord as a wave offering, and it will be your portion.

²⁷Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the heave offering that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.

¹⁴And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.

²⁸Then Moses took these from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.

⁴¹And offer the second lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning, as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.

²and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the flour and oil, together with all the frankincense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

⁵The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the Lord; it is a guilt offering.

⁶Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the Lord and He answered.

⁹The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

²⁹He also took the breast—Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination—and waved it before the Lord as a wave offering, as the Lord had commanded him.

³¹The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.

⁶Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the Lord and He answered.

³⁴I have taken from the sons of Israel the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion from the sons of Israel.’”

¹¹And this is yours as well: the offering of their gifts, along with all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat it.

¹⁵They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the food offerings, to wave as a wave offering before the Lord. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the Lord has commanded.”

³This shall be the priests’ share from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether a bull or a sheep: the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach.

²⁸Then Moses took these from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.

²⁹He also took the breast—Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination—and waved it before the Lord as a wave offering, as the Lord had commanded him.

³⁷This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering,

¹⁸And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.

¹⁹All the holy offerings that the Israelites present to the Lord I give to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the Lord for you and your offspring.”

⁴¹Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

¹“If one’s offering is a peace offering and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he must present it without blemish before the Lord.

²⁷Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the heave offering that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.

¹¹Now this is the law of the peace offering that one may present to the Lord:

¹²If he offers it in thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.

¹⁴And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.

¹⁵They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the food offerings, to wave as a wave offering before the Lord. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the Lord has commanded.”

²⁹You must present the offering due the Lord from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’

⁸Then the Lord said to Aaron, “Behold, I have put you in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.

²⁶Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”

²⁷So Moses did as the Lord had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.

¹⁵Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may also serve Me as priests. Their anointing will qualify them for a permanent priesthood throughout their generations.”

⁷He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He tied the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.

⁸Then he put the breastpiece on him and placed the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.

²⁵The assembly is to protect the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge to which he fled, and he must live there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

³⁰Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.

²⁸After Moses had removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

⁵On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days.

²⁶For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; so they shall consecrate it.

⁸So Aaron approached the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself.

¹⁴So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.

¹⁵Then on the seventh day, they got up at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. That was the only day they circled the city seven times.

¹²And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

³¹And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons are to eat it.’

²⁰and said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them into the outer court and transmit holiness to the people.”

²¹Then he brought me into the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw a separate court in each of its corners.

¹³or for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling

¹⁵Even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast, because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”

⁴He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.

⁹Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

¹⁰and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.

²along with unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil. Make them out of fine wheat flour,

³put them in a basket, and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams.

¹²And Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the food offerings to the Lord and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy.

¹³You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the food offerings to the Lord; for this is what I have been commanded.

²³along with one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord.

⁴They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent; but no outsider may come near you.

⁵³So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

⁵⁴Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁰just as the Lord commanded him through Moses. This was to be a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider who is not a descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the Lord, lest he become like Korah and his followers.

¹³You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the food offerings to the Lord; for this is what I have been commanded.

¹⁴And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.

³⁸Moses, Aaron, and Aaron’s sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle, toward the sunrise, before the Tent of Meeting. They were to perform the duties of the sanctuary as a service on behalf of the Israelites; but any outsider who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death.

²⁴and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

¹⁰Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

³²Then you must burn up the remainder of the meat and bread.

²²Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the lobe of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh (since this is a ram for ordination),

¹⁶Later, Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,

¹⁹Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”

¹⁸If any of the meat from his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presented it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁹Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for any other meat, anyone who is ceremonially clean may eat it.

⁴So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

⁵And Moses said to them, “This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.”

⁸The one being cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe with water; then he will be ceremonially clean. Afterward, he may enter the camp, but he must remain outside his tent for seven days.

⁹On the seventh day he must shave off all his hair—his head, his beard, his eyebrows, and the rest of his hair. He must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and he will be clean.

³⁷For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become most holy; whatever touches the altar will be holy.

¹⁴He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.

¹²Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

¹³And you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments, anoint him, and consecrate him, so that he may serve Me as a priest.

³⁰The son who succeeds him as priest and enters the Tent of Meeting to minister in the Holy Place must wear them for seven days.

¹¹Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

²²According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

²³So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

²⁸the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.

²⁹You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

⁹Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it along with all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.

¹⁰Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.

²⁶Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony,

¹⁸The remainder of the length bordering the holy portion and running adjacent to it will be 10,000 cubits on the east side and 10,000 cubits on the west side. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.

¹⁹The workers of the city who cultivate it will come from all the tribes of Israel.

¹⁰Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.

³And tell them that this is the food offering you are to present to the Lord as a regular burnt offering each day: two unblemished year-old male lambs.

⁴Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight,

⁴Behold, I am about to build a house for the Name of the Lord my God to dedicate to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for displaying the showbread continuously, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening as well as on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the Lord our God. This is ordained for Israel forever.

¹¹And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days.

¹¹Every morning and every evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the Lord. They set out the rows of showbread on the ceremonially clean table, and every evening they light the lamps of the gold lampstand. We are carrying out the requirements of the Lord our God, while you have forsaken Him.

³The king contributed from his own possessions for the regular morning and evening burnt offerings and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, as written in the Law of the Lord.

¹³And you shall provide an unblemished year-old lamb as a daily burnt offering to the Lord; you are to offer it every morning.

¹⁴You are also to provide with it every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour—a grain offering to the Lord. This is a permanent statute.

¹⁵Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, “Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, and the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, as well as the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings of all the people of the land. Splatter on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to seek guidance.”

⁷the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night. It is because of this hope, O king, that I am accused by the Jews.

³In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

¹¹Every morning and every evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the Lord. They set out the rows of showbread on the ceremonially clean table, and every evening they light the lamps of the gold lampstand. We are carrying out the requirements of the Lord our God, while you have forsaken Him.

¹⁶But I call to God, and the Lord saves me.

¹⁷Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.

¹⁷But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

⁶Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?

¹⁷And it shall be the prince’s part to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.

¹³along with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil—a food offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.

¹⁴Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave a blessing behind Him—grain and drink offerings for the Lord your God.

¹⁴You are also to provide with it every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour—a grain offering to the Lord. This is a permanent statute.

¹³And you shall provide an unblemished year-old lamb as a daily burnt offering to the Lord; you are to offer it every morning.

⁴Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me because of the unfaithfulness of the exiles, while I sat there in horror until the evening offering.

⁵At the evening offering, I got up from my humiliation with my tunic and cloak torn, and I fell on my knees, spread out my hands to the Lord my God,

²⁹Midday passed, and they kept on raving until the time of the evening sacrifice. But there was no response; no one answered, no one paid attention.

²May my prayer be set before You like incense; my uplifted hands, like the evening offering.

¹⁵Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, “Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, and the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, as well as the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings of all the people of the land. Splatter on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to seek guidance.”

³⁶At the time of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet approached the altar and said, “O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and have done all these things at Your command.

²²And I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony; I will speak with you about all that I command you regarding the Israelites.

¹¹so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.

¹When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

²The priests were unable to enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled it.

³⁴Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

¹“Behold, I will send My messenger, who will prepare the way before Me. Then the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple—the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight—see, He is coming,” says the Lord of Hosts.

⁵Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

¹⁴so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.

¹⁵so that he does not defile his offspring among his people, for I am the Lord who sanctifies him.”

³⁶then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?

⁹The priests must keep My charge, lest they bear the guilt and die because they profane it. I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

¹⁶by allowing the people to eat the sacred offerings and thus to bear the punishment for guilt. For I am the Lord who sanctifies them.”

⁵and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood,

⁶who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen.

¹²I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.

¹⁶What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”

⁸And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.

³And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God.

¹⁰“Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the Lord.

³³“But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

⁴⁴For I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any creature that crawls along the ground.

⁵and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: On the day I chose Israel, I swore an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt. With an uplifted hand I said to them, ‘I am the Lord your God.’

³⁰You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the Lord your God.”

²“Speak to the whole congregation of Israel and tell them: Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.
