² "Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the basket of the unleavened bread, ³ and summon all of the community to the entrance to* the tent of assembly." ⁴ So* Moses did just as Yahweh commanded him, and the community gathered by the entrance to* the tent of assembly. ⁵ Then* Moses said to the community, "This is the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done."* ⁶ So* Moses brought Aaron and his sons near, and he washed them with water. ⁷ Then* he put the tunic on him and tied* the sash around him; then* he clothed him with the robe and put* the ephod on him; then* he tied the ephod's waistband around him and fastened* the ephod* to him with it. ⁸ Then* he placed the breastpiece on him and put* the Urim and the Thummim into the breastpiece; ⁹ and he placed the turban on his head, and on _⌊the front of_⌋* the turban he placed the gold rosette, the holy diadem, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ¹⁰ Then* Moses took the anointing oil and anointed* the tabernacle and all that was in it, and he consecrated them. ¹¹ And he spattered _⌊part of_⌋* it on the altar seven times—thus* he anointed the altar and all of its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them. ¹² Then* he poured out _⌊part of_⌋* the anointing oil on Aaron's head—thus* he anointed him in order to consecrate him. ¹³ Then* Moses brought Aaron's sons near and clothed* them with tunics and tied* a sash around _⌊each one_⌋,* and he bound headbands on* them, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ¹⁴ Then* he brought forth the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering, ¹⁵ and he slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood and put* it with his finger on the altar's horns all around and purified the altar; then* he poured the blood out on the altar's base—thus* he consecrated it in order to make atonement for it.* ¹⁶ Then* he took all the fat that was on the inner parts* and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses turned them into smoke on the altar, ¹⁷ but* he burned the bull and its skin and its meat and its offal in the fire _⌊outside the camp_⌋,* just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ¹⁸ Then* he brought the ram of the burnt offering near, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram's head, ¹⁹ and he slaughtered it. Then* Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around. ²⁰ Then* he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses turned into smoke the head and the pieces and the suet, ²¹ but* he washed the inner parts* and the lower leg bones with water, and Moses turned into smoke all of the ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering as an appeasing fragrance, an offering made by fire for* Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ²² Then* he brought the second ram near, the ram of the consecration, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram's head, ²³ and he slaughtered it. Then* Moses took _⌊some of_⌋* its blood and put* it on Aaron's right ear lobe and on his right hand's thumb and on his right foot's big toe. ²⁴ Then* he brought Aaron's sons near, and Moses put _⌊some of_⌋* the blood on their right ear lobe and on their right hand's thumb and on their right foot's big toe, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around. ²⁵ Then* he took the fat and the fat tail and all of the fat that was on the inner parts* and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right upper thigh; ²⁶ and from the basket of the unleavened bread that was before Yahweh he took one ring-shaped unleavened bread and one ring-shaped bread with* oil and one wafer, and he placed them on the _⌊fat parts_⌋* and on the right upper thigh. ²⁷ Then* he put _⌊all of these_⌋* on Aaron's palms and on his sons' palms, and he waved them as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh. ²⁸ Then* Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they were a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance—it was an offering made by fire for* Yahweh. ²⁹ Then* Moses took the breast section, and he waved it as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh from the ram of the consecration offering; it was Moses' share, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ³⁰ Then* Moses took _⌊some of_⌋* the anointing oil and _⌊some of_⌋* the blood that was on the altar, and he spattered them on Aaron, on his garments, and on Aaron's sons and on his sons' garments with him—thus* he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him. ³¹ Then* Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the meat in the entrance to* the tent of assembly, and there you must eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the consecration offering, just as I have commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons must eat it,' ³² but* the remainder of the meat and the bread you* must burn in the fire. ³³ And you must not go out from the entrance to* the tent of assembly for seven days, until the day of fulfilling the days of your* consecration, because _⌊it will take seven days to ordain you_⌋.* ³⁴ Just as was done* on this day, Yahweh commanded to be done* in order to make atonement for you.* ³⁵ And you* must stay at the entrance to* the tent of assembly day and night for seven days, and you* shall keep the obligation from* Yahweh, so you* might not die, for thus I have been commanded." ³⁶ So* Aaron and his sons did all the things that Yahweh had commanded _⌊through_⌋* Moses.

² and he said to Aaron, "Take for yourself _⌊a bull calf_⌋* as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, without defect,* and present them _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh.

⁹ Did you not drive out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, the Levites? Have you not made for yourselves priests like all the peoples of the lands? All who come _⌊to be consecrated for priestly service_⌋* with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of what is not a god.

¹³ And you say, 'Look! This is a weariness,' and you sniff with disdain at it," says Yahweh of hosts. "And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the one that is sick—this you bring as the offering! Should I _⌊accept it_⌋* from your hand?" says Yahweh. ¹⁴ "Cursed is the one who cheats, who has in his flock a male and vows it, but instead sacrifices a blemished one to the Lord! For I am a great king," says Yahweh of hosts, "and my name is awesome among the nations."

⁹ Therefore you pray in this way:
"Our Father who is in heaven, may your name be treated as holy.

²⁶ For a high priest such as this indeed is fitting for us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become exalted above the heavens,

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb

⁸ And they will eat the meat on this night; they will eat it fire-roasted and with unleavened bread on _⌊bitter herbs_⌋.*

²³ "And one loaf of bread and one ring-shaped bread cake of oiled bread and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh—

⁴ " 'But if you bring a grain offering of something oven-baked, it must be of finely milled flour as ring-shaped unleavened bread mixed with oil or wafers of unleavened bread smeared with oil. ⁵ If your offering is a grain offering baked on a* flat baking pan, it must be finely milled flour, unleavened bread mixed with oil;

¹⁵ And you shall put oil on it and place frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.

¹⁹ Then* Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁰ "This is the offering of Aaron and his sons that they shall present to Yahweh on the day of his being anointed: a tenth of an* ephah of finely milled flour as a perpetual grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. ²¹ It must be made* in* oil on a flat baking pan; you* must bring it well-mixed; you must present pieces of a grain offering's baked goods* as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh. ²² And the anointed priest taking his place from among his sons must do it. As a lasting rule, it must be turned into smoke totally for Yahweh. ²³ And every grain offering of a priest must be a whole burnt offering; it must not be eaten."

¹⁰ And every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, shall be for all of Aaron's sons _⌊equally_⌋.*

¹² If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice he shall present ring-shaped unleavened bread mixed with oil and unleavened bread wafers smeared with oil and well-mixed ring-shaped bread cakes of finely milled flour mixed with oil.

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

²⁶ and from the basket of the unleavened bread that was before Yahweh he took one ring-shaped unleavened bread and one ring-shaped bread with* oil and one wafer, and he placed them on the _⌊fat parts_⌋* and on the right upper thigh.

¹⁵ and a basket of unleavened bread, finely milled flour of ring-shaped bread cakes mixed with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread smeared with oil, and their grain offering and their libations.

¹⁹ The priest will take the shoulder from the ram that is boiled, and one ring-shaped bread cake of unleavened bread from the basket, and one wafer of unleavened bread, and he will put them on the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved _⌊his consecrated head_⌋.*

⁷ Clean out the old leaven in order that you may be a new batch of dough, just as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.

³¹ Then* Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the meat in the entrance to* the tent of assembly, and there you must eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the consecration offering, just as I have commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons must eat it,'

¹⁷ he will offer a ram as a sacrifice of a fellowship offering to Yahweh, in addition to the basket of the unleavened bread; the priest will offer his grain offering and his libation.

³⁶ "And you will make for the entrance of the tent a screen of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer.

¹⁸ "And you will make a basin of bronze and its bronze stand for washing, and you will put it between the tent of assembly and the altar, and you will put water there. ¹⁹ And Aaron and his sons will wash their hands and their feet with it. ²⁰ When they come to the tent of assembly, they will wash with water so that they do not die, or when they approach the altar to serve by turning to smoke an offering made by fire to Yahweh. ²¹ And they will wash their hands and their feet so that they do not die, and it will be a lasting rule for them—to him and to his offspring throughout their generations.

¹² And you will bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of assembly, and you will wash them with the water.

²⁸ And he set up the entrance screen for the tabernacle.

³ and summon all of the community to the entrance to* the tent of assembly." ⁴ So* Moses did just as Yahweh commanded him, and the community gathered by the entrance to* the tent of assembly. ⁵ Then* Moses said to the community, "This is the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done."* ⁶ So* Moses brought Aaron and his sons near, and he washed them with water.

⁸ Then* the one who presents himself for cleansing shall wash his garments, and he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall wash himself in the water; thus* he shall be clean, and afterward he shall enter the camp, but* he shall stay _⌊outside his tent_⌋* for seven days.

¹¹ _⌊And then_⌋* toward the _⌊coming_⌋* of the evening, he shall bathe with* water, and at the going down* of the sun, he may come to the midst of the camp.

²⁵ And I will sprinkle on you pure water, and you will be clean from all of your uncleanness, and I will cleanse you from all of your idols.

⁸ Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet _⌊forever_⌋!"* Jesus replied to him, "Unless I wash you, you do not have a share with me." ⁹ Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my* hands and my* head!" ¹⁰ Jesus said to him, "The one who has bathed _⌊only needs_⌋* to wash his* feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not all of you."

²⁶ in order that he might sanctify her by cleansing her* with the washing of water by the word;

⁵ he saved us, not by deeds of righteousness that we have done, but because of his mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

²² let us approach with a true heart in the full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

²¹ And* also, corresponding to this, baptism now saves you, not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

⁵ and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To the one who loves us and released us from our sins by his blood ⁶ and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the power _⌊forever and ever_⌋*. Amen.

² And you will make holy garments* for Aaron, your brother, for glory and for splendor.* ³ And you will speak to all the skilled of heart, whom I have given _⌊a gift of skill_⌋,* and they will make the garments of Aaron to consecrate him for his serving as my priest. ⁴ And these are the garments that they will make: A breast piece and an ephod and a robe and a tunic of specially woven fabric,* a turban and a sash. And they will make holy garments* for Aaron your brother, and for his sons to serve as priests for me. ⁵ "And they will take the gold and the blue and the purple and the crimson yarns and the fine linen, ⁶ and they will make the ephod of gold, blue and purple, and crimson yarns, and finely twisted linen, the work of a skilled craftsman. ⁷ It will have two joining shoulder pieces at its two edges, so that it can be fastened. ⁸ And the waistband of his ephod, which is on it, will be of like work to it—gold, blue, and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen.

⁷ Then* he put the tunic on him and tied* the sash around him; then* he clothed him with the robe and put* the ephod on him; then* he tied the ephod's waistband around him and fastened* the ephod* to him with it. ⁸ Then* he placed the breastpiece on him and put* the Urim and the Thummim into the breastpiece;

³⁶ "And you will make a pure gold rosette,* and you will engrave on it with seal engravings: "A holy object for Yahweh." ³⁷ And you will place it on a blue cord, and it will be on the turban, at the front of the turban it will be. ³⁸ And it will be on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron will bear the guilt of the holy objects that the _⌊Israelites_⌋* will consecrate for all their holy gifts, and it will be on his forehead continually for acceptance for them before Yahweh. ³⁹ "And you will weave the tunic of fine linen, and you will make a turban of fine linen, and you will make a sash, the work of an embroiderer.

⁹ and he placed the turban on his head, and on _⌊the front of_⌋* the turban he placed the gold rosette, the holy diadem, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

²³ "And take for yourself top quality balsam oils, five hundred shekels of flowing myrrh, half as much—two hundred and fifty shekels of fragrant cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of fragrant reed, ²⁴ and five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the sanctuary shekel, and a hin of olive oil. ²⁵ And you will make it into holy anointing oil, a spice blend of a fragrant ointment the work of a perfumer; it will be holy anointing oil. ²⁶ And you will anoint with it the tent of assembly and the ark of the testimony, ²⁷ and the table and all its equipment and the lampstand and its equipment and the incense altar, ²⁸ and the altar of burnt offering and all its equipment and the basin and its stand. ²⁹ And you will consecrate them, and they will be most holy things; _⌊anyone who_⌋* touches them will be holy. ³⁰ And you will anoint Aaron and his sons, and you will consecrate them to serve as priests for me. ³¹ "And you will speak to the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* saying, 'This will be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations.

¹⁰ Then* Moses took the anointing oil and anointed* the tabernacle and all that was in it, and he consecrated them. ¹¹ And he spattered _⌊part of_⌋* it on the altar seven times—thus* he anointed the altar and all of its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them. ¹² Then* he poured out _⌊part of_⌋* the anointing oil on Aaron's head—thus* he anointed him in order to consecrate him.

⁷ but* you must not go out from the entrance to* the tent of assembly lest you die, because Yahweh's anointing oil is on you." So* they did according to Moses' word.

¹⁰ " 'As for* the priest who is higher than his brothers, on whose head the oil of anointment is poured and _⌊he was ordained_⌋* to wear the garments, he shall not dishevel his head, and he shall not tear his garments.

²⁵ The community will deliver the killer from the hand of the blood avenger, and the community will restore him to the city of his refuge to which he fled; and he will live there in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with holy oil.

²⁰ I have found David, my servant. With my holy oil I have anointed him,

² It is like the fragrant oil upon the head, running down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, that runs down upon the edges of his robes.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me, because Yahweh has anointed me, he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up _⌊the brokenhearted_⌋,* to _⌊proclaim_⌋* release to the captives and liberation to those who are bound,

³⁴ For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit by measure.

²⁷ And as for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not have need that anyone teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you reside* in him.

⁴⁰ And for the sons of Aaron you will make tunics, and you will make for them sashes and headdresses; you will make them for glory and for splendor.*

¹³ Then* Moses brought Aaron's sons near and clothed* them with tunics and tied* a sash around _⌊each one_⌋,* and he bound headbands on* them, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

¹ "And bring near to you Aaron, your brother, and his sons with him from the midst of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* to serve as priests for me—Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron.

⁴⁰ And for the sons of Aaron you will make tunics, and you will make for them sashes and headdresses; you will make them for glory and for splendor.* ⁴¹ And you will clothe them—Aaron, your brother, and his sons with him—and you will anoint them and _⌊ordain them_⌋* and consecrate them, and they will serve as priests for me.

²⁹ And Moses said, "_⌊You are ordained_⌋* today for Yahweh, because each has been against his son and against his brother and so bringing on you today a blessing."

¹⁵ And you will anoint them as you anointed their father, and they will serve as priests for me. And their anointing will be for them to be a lasting priesthood* throughout their generations."

²² Then* he brought the second ram near, the ram of the consecration, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram's head, ²³ and he slaughtered it. Then* Moses took _⌊some of_⌋* its blood and put* it on Aaron's right ear lobe and on his right hand's thumb and on his right foot's big toe. ²⁴ Then* he brought Aaron's sons near, and Moses put _⌊some of_⌋* the blood on their right ear lobe and on their right hand's thumb and on their right foot's big toe, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around. ²⁵ Then* he took the fat and the fat tail and all of the fat that was on the inner parts* and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right upper thigh; ²⁶ and from the basket of the unleavened bread that was before Yahweh he took one ring-shaped unleavened bread and one ring-shaped bread with* oil and one wafer, and he placed them on the _⌊fat parts_⌋* and on the right upper thigh. ²⁷ Then* he put _⌊all of these_⌋* on Aaron's palms and on his sons' palms, and he waved them as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh. ²⁸ Then* Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they were a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance—it was an offering made by fire for* Yahweh.

³³ And you must not go out from the entrance to* the tent of assembly for seven days, until the day of fulfilling the days of your* consecration, because _⌊it will take seven days to ordain you_⌋.*

¹⁰ But you will count Aaron and his descendants; they will keep their priesthood, and the stranger* who approaches will be put to death."

¹⁰ _⌊He has allowed you to approach him_⌋,* you with all your brothers, the descendants* of Levi, but yet you also seek the priesthood.

³⁵ And fire went out from Yahweh, and it consumed the two hundred and fifty men presenting the incense.

⁴⁰ it was a memorial for the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* so that _⌊no strange man_⌋* who is not from _⌊the offspring_⌋* of Aaron should approach the presence of Yahweh to burn a smoke offering;* he will not be like Korah and his company, just as Yahweh had spoken to him by the hand of Moses.*

⁷ But you with your sons will keep your priesthood to perform your priestly duties for everything at the altar* and for _⌊the area behind the curtain_⌋.* I give you the priesthood as a gift, but the stranger who approaches will be put to death."

¹³ and it will be for him and his _⌊offspring_⌋* after him a covenant of an eternal priesthood because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the _⌊Israelites_⌋.'"*

⁵ For Yahweh your God has chosen him from among all your tribes to stand to minister in the name of Yahweh, he and his sons _⌊forever_⌋.*

⁴ And someone does not take for himself the honor, but is called by God, just as Aaron also was. ⁵ Thus also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him,
"You are my Son, today I have begotten you,"*

¹⁰ being designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

¹¹ Thus if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood, for on the basis of it the people received the law, what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek and not said to be according to the order of Aaron? ¹² For when* the priesthood changes, of necessity there is a change of the law also. ¹³ For the one about whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe from which no one has officiated at the altar. ¹⁴ For it is evident that our Lord is a descendant of Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses said nothing concerning priests.

²³ And indeed many _⌊have become_⌋* priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, ²⁴ but he, because he continues _⌊forever_⌋*, holds the priesthood permanently. ²⁵ Therefore also he is able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, because he* always lives in order to intercede on their behalf. ²⁶ For a high priest such as this indeed is fitting for us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become exalted above the heavens, ²⁷ who does not _⌊need every day_⌋* like the former high priests to offer up sacrifices for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because he did this once for all when he* offered up himself. ²⁸ For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the statement of the oath, after the law, appoints a Son, who is made perfect _⌊forever_⌋*.

¹⁵ "And you will take the one ram, and Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the ram.

¹⁹ "And you will take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the ram.

⁴ " 'He* must lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering and it will be accepted* for him in order to make atonement for him.

² He* must lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance of the tent of assembly, and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood on the altar all around.

¹⁴ Then* he brought forth the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering,

¹⁸ Then* he brought the ram of the burnt offering near, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram's head,

²¹ And Aaron shall place his two hands on the living goat's head, and he shall confess over it all the _⌊Israelites_⌋'* iniquities and all their transgressions for all their sins, and he shall put them on the goat's head, and he shall send it* away into the desert _⌊with_⌋* a man standing ready.*

⁶ All of us have wandered about like sheep; we each have turned to his own way; and Yahweh let fall on him the iniquity of us all.

²¹ He made the one who did not know sin to be sin on our behalf, in order that we could become the righteousness of God in him.

⁴ And you will bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of assembly, and you will wash them with water.

³ If his offering is a burnt offering from the cattle,* then he must present* an unblemished male; he must present it at the door of the tent of assembly for his acceptance _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh. ⁴ " 'He* must lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering and it will be accepted* for him in order to make atonement for him. ⁵ He* must slaughter _⌊the young bull_⌋* _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh, then* Aaron's sons, the priests, will present the blood and sprinkle the blood all around the altar that is at the door of the tent of assembly.

¹⁵ and he slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood and put* it with his finger on the altar's horns all around and purified the altar; then* he poured the blood out on the altar's base—thus* he consecrated it in order to make atonement for it.*

⁸ Then* Aaron approached* the altar, and he slaughtered the bull calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

¹² Then* he slaughtered the burnt offering, and Aaron's sons brought the blood to him, and he sprinkled it on the altar all around;

² And you will make its horns on its four corners; its horns will be _⌊of one piece with it_⌋,* and you will overlay it with bronze.

² a cubit its length and a cubit its width—it will be square—and two cubits its height, its horns _⌊of one piece with it_⌋.*

² And he made its horns on its four corners; its horns were _⌊of one piece with it_⌋;* and he overlaid it with bronze.

⁷ The priest* shall put _⌊some of_⌋* the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of assembly, and all the rest* of the bull's blood he must pour out on the base of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the entrance of the tent of assembly.

¹⁸ He must put* _⌊some of_⌋* the blood on the altar's horns before Yahweh _⌊in the tent of assembly_⌋,* and all the rest* of the blood he must pour out on the base of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the tent of assembly's entrance.

²⁵ The priest* shall take _⌊some of_⌋* the sin offering's blood with his finger, and he shall put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering, and he must pour out the rest of* its blood on the base of the altar of the burnt offering.

³⁰ The priest* shall take _⌊some of_⌋* its blood with his finger, and he shall put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering, and he must pour out all the rest of* its blood on the altar's base.

³⁴ The priest* shall take _⌊some of_⌋* the sin offering's blood with his finger, and he shall put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering, and he must pour out all the rest* of its blood on the altar's base.

⁹ and he shall spatter _⌊some of_⌋* the sin offering's blood on the altar's side, and the leftover blood must be drained out on the altar's base; it is a sin offering.

⁹ Then* Aaron's sons presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and he put it on the altar's horns, and he poured out the blood on the altar's base.

¹⁴ And he shall take _⌊some of_⌋* the bull's blood, and he shall spatter it* with his finger on the atonement cover's surface on the eastern side, and _⌊before_⌋* the atonement cover he shall spatter _⌊some of_⌋* the blood with his finger seven times.

¹⁸ "Then* he shall go out to the altar that is _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh, and he shall make atonement for it; and he shall take _⌊some of_⌋* the bull's blood and _⌊some of_⌋* the goat's blood, and he shall put it* all around on the altar's horns. ¹⁹ And he shall spatter _⌊some of_⌋* the blood on it seven times with his finger, and he shall cleanse it and consecrate* it from the _⌊Israelites_⌋'* impurities.

¹³ For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow sprinkled on those who are defiled sanctify them for the ritual purity of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to serve the living God?

²² Indeed, nearly everything is purified with blood according to the law, and apart from the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

⁴ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

¹⁸ And you will turn into smoke on the altar all of the ram; it is a burnt offering for Yahweh; it is a smell of appeasement, an offering by fire for Yahweh.

²² And you will take from the ram the fat and the fat tail and the fat covering the inner parts and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them and the right thigh, because it is the ram of ordination.

²⁵ And you will take them from their hand and turn them to smoke on the altar beside the burnt offering as a fragrance of appeasement before Yahweh; it is an offering made by fire before Yahweh.

⁹ Then* he must wash its inner parts* and its lower leg bones with water, and the priest will turn into smoke the whole animal on the altar as a burnt offering by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

¹⁵ The priest* will present it at the altar and must wring off its head and turn it into smoke on the altar, and its blood will be drained out on the wall* of the altar.

³ He shall present* from the sacrifice of the fellowship offering an offering made by fire for Yahweh consisting of* the fat covering the inner parts* and all the fat that is on the inner parts,* ⁴ the two kidneys,* and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys.

⁹ He shall present* from the sacrifice of the fellowship offering an offering made by fire for Yahweh: he must remove its fat, the entire fat tail near the tailbone, and the fat covering the inner parts* and all the fat that is on the inner parts,* ¹⁰ the two kidneys,* and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys.

¹⁴ He shall present* his offering from it as an offering made by fire for Yahweh: the fat covering the inner parts* and all the fat that is on the inner parts,* ¹⁵ the two kidneys,* and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys. ¹⁶ The priest* shall turn them into smoke on the altar as a food offering;* all the fat is an offering made by fire as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

⁸ " 'He must remove* all the fat from the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the inner parts* and all of the fat that is on the inner parts,* ⁹ the two* kidneys and the fat that is on them, and the liver's lobe that he must remove in addition to the kidneys—

²⁶ He* must turn all of its fat into smoke on the altar like the fat of the fellowship offerings' sacrifice, and the priest shall make atonement for him _⌊because of_⌋* his sin, and _⌊he will be forgiven_⌋.*

³¹ He* must remove all of its fat _⌊just as_⌋* the fat was removed from* the fellowship offerings' sacrifice, and the priest shall turn it into smoke on the altar as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. The priest* shall make atonement for him, and _⌊he will be forgiven_⌋.*

³⁵ He must remove* all of its fat _⌊just as_⌋* the lamb's fat from the fellowship offerings' sacrifice was removed, and the priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar upon Yahweh's offerings made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him because of* his sin that he _⌊committed_⌋,* and _⌊he will be forgiven_⌋.'"*

¹² but* the fire on the altar must be kept burning on it; it must not be quenched. And the priest must burn wood _⌊every morning_⌋* on it,* and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it,* and he shall turn into smoke the fat portions of the fellowship offerings on it.*

³ And he must present all of its fat:* the fat tail and the fat that covers the inner parts,*

³¹ and the priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, and the breast section shall be for Aaron and his* sons.

¹⁶ Then* he took all the fat that was on the inner parts* and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses turned them into smoke on the altar,

²⁵ Then* he took the fat and the fat tail and all of the fat that was on the inner parts* and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right upper thigh;

¹⁰ And the fat and the kidneys and the lobe _⌊from the sin offering's liver_⌋* he turned into smoke on the altar, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses,

¹⁹ And as for the fat portions from the ox and from the ram (the fat tail and the layer of fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver),

²⁵ And he must turn into smoke the sin offering's fat on the altar.

⁶ And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on Yahweh's altar at the tent of assembly's entrance, and he shall _⌊burn_⌋* the fat as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

¹⁷ Only the firstborn of an ox or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat you will not redeem; they are holy. Their blood you will sprinkle over the altar, and their fat you will turn into smoke as an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

¹⁶ And if the man said to him, "Let them burn the fat completely _⌊first_⌋,* then take for yourself as _⌊you_⌋* desire," then he would say to him, "No!* Give it now! If not, I will take it by force!"

¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted _⌊within me_⌋.*

¹¹ What is the abundance of your sacrifices to me? says Yahweh. I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fattened animals and I do not delight in the blood of bulls and ram-lambs and goats.

⁶ _⌊Yahweh has a sword_⌋;*
it is full of blood. It is covered with* fat, with* the blood of lambs and goats, with* the fat of the kidneys of rams, for _⌊Yahweh has a sacrifice_⌋* in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

²⁴ You have not bought me spice reed with money or* satisfied me with the fat of sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins; you have made me weary with your iniquities.

¹⁰ And Aaron will make atonement on its horns one time in the year from the blood of the sin offering of the atonement; one time in the year he will make atonement on it throughout your generations; it is a most holy thing for Yahweh."

¹¹ But* the bull's skin and its meat, in addition to its head, _⌊its lower leg bones_⌋,* its* inner parts,* and its offal— ¹² he shall carry* all of the bull _⌊outside the camp_⌋* to a ceremonially clean place, to the fatty ashes' dump, and he shall burn it on wood in the fire; it must be burned up on the fatty ashes' dump.

²¹ He shall bring* the rest of* the bull _⌊outside the camp_⌋,* and he shall burn it _⌊just as_⌋* he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly.

²⁹ He shall place* his hand on the sin offering's head and slaughter the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

³² " 'But* if he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he must bring a female without defect.

⁶ and he shall bring his guilt offering to* Yahweh for his sin that he has _⌊committed_⌋:* a female from the flock,* a ewe-lamb or _⌊a she-goat_⌋,* as a sin offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him for* his sin.

⁸ He shall bring* them to the priest, and he shall present that which is for the sin offering first, and the priest* shall wring its head off _⌊at the back of its neck_⌋,* but* he must not sever it,

²⁵ "Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, 'This is the regulation of the sin offering: In the place where the sin offering is slaughtered, the sin offering must be slaughtered _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh; it is _⌊a most holy thing_⌋.*

¹⁷ but* he burned the bull and its skin and its meat and its offal in the fire _⌊outside the camp_⌋,* just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

¹¹ "And Aaron shall present the sin offering's bull, which is for himself, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family; then* he shall slaughter the sin offering's bull, which is for himself.

²⁷ And the sin offering's bull and the sin offering's goat, whose blood was brought to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall be brought _⌊outside the camp_⌋,* and they shall burn their hide and their flesh and their offal in the fire.

¹⁶ one he-goat as a sin offering;

²⁴ And the priest killed them and offered their blood against the altar to make atonement for all Israel, for the king had commanded the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.

³⁵ The exiles that returned from captivity offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel; twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve goats as a sin offering. All was a burnt offering to Yahweh.

¹¹ For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sins are burned up outside the camp. ¹² Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, in order that he might sanctify the people by his own blood. ¹³ So we must go out to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.

³ and you will put them on one basket, and you will bring them on the basket and bring the bull and the two rams.

¹⁰ "And you will bring the bull before the tent of assembly, and Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the bull.

⁴ " 'He* must lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering and it will be accepted* for him in order to make atonement for him. ⁵ He* must slaughter _⌊the young bull_⌋* _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh, then* Aaron's sons, the priests, will present the blood and sprinkle the blood all around the altar that is at the door of the tent of assembly. ⁶ Then* he must remove the skin of the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. ⁷ The sons of* Aaron the priest will put fire on the altar and arrange the wood on the fire. ⁸ Then* Aaron's sons, the priests, will arrange the pieces of meat,* the head, and the suet on the wood that is on the fire that is on the altar. ⁹ Then* he must wash its inner parts* and its lower leg bones with water, and the priest will turn into smoke the whole animal on the altar as a burnt offering by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

¹⁸ Then* he brought the ram of the burnt offering near, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram's head, ¹⁹ and he slaughtered it. Then* Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around. ²⁰ Then* he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses turned into smoke the head and the pieces and the suet, ²¹ but* he washed the inner parts* and the lower leg bones with water, and Moses turned into smoke all of the ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering as an appeasing fragrance, an offering made by fire for* Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

¹¹ And you will slaughter the bull before Yahweh at the entrance of the tent of assembly. ¹² And you will take some of the blood of the bull and with your finger put it on the horns of the altar, and you will pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

¹³ Then* he must wash the inner parts* and the lower leg bones with water and the priest shall present the whole animal and will turn it* into smoke on the altar; it is a burnt offering by fire as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

²¹ but* he washed the inner parts* and the lower leg bones with water, and Moses turned into smoke all of the ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering as an appeasing fragrance, an offering made by fire for* Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

¹⁴ and he washed the inner parts* and the lower leg bones, then* he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar.

¹⁴ Cleanse your heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, so that you may be saved. _⌊How long_⌋* will your thoughts of mischief dwell in your inner part?

²⁶ Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish,* so that the outside of it may become clean also.

²¹ And Yahweh smelled the soothing fragrance, and Yahweh said _⌊to himself_⌋,* "_⌊Never again will I curse_⌋* the ground for the sake of humankind, because the inclination of the heart of humankind is evil from his youth. _⌊Nor will I ever again destroy_⌋* all life as I have done.

² And he said, "Take your son, your only child, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains where* I will tell you."

⁷ And Isaac said to Abraham his father, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." And he said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

¹³ And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked. And behold, a ram was caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

¹⁷ Then* he must tear it apart by its wings but must not sever it; then* the priest will turn it into smoke on the altar. It is a burnt offering by fire as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.'"

²⁴ Then* a fire went out _⌊from before_⌋* Yahweh, and it consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And all the people saw it, so* they shouted for joy, and they fell on their faces.

⁹ So Samuel took a single _⌊nursing lamb_⌋* and sacrificed it as a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Then Samuel cried out to Yahweh on behalf of Israel, and Yahweh answered him.

⁴ So the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice, for the great high place was there. Solomon used to offer a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.

³⁸ Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and it consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust; and the water which was in the trench it licked up!

⁸ It is not concerning a lack of your sacrifices that I rebuke you, and your burnt offerings are before me continually.

²⁰ What is this to me? Frankincense comes from Sheba, and the precious spice reed from a distant land. Your burnt offerings are not _⌊acceptable_⌋,* your sacrifices are not pleasing to me."

²¹ Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, "Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. ²² For I did not speak with your ancestors,* nor did I command them in the day of bringing them out from the land of Egypt, concerning the matter of burnt offering and sacrifice.

³³ And to love him from your* whole heart and from your* whole understanding and from your* whole strength, and to love your* neighbor as yourself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

² and live in love, just as also Christ loved us, and gave himself for us an offering and sacrifice to God for a fragrant smell.*

¹⁸ But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; _⌊I am well supplied_⌋* because* I received from Epaphroditus _⌊what you had sent_⌋*, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

⁶ you did not delight in whole burnt offerings and offerings for sins. ⁷ Then I said, 'Behold, I have come— in the roll of the book it is written about me— to do your will, O God.' ⁸ When he says above,
"Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin you did not want, nor did you delight in,"*
which are offered according to the law, ⁹ then he has said,
"Behold, I have come to do your will."*
He takes away the first in order to establish the second, ¹⁰ by which will we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

²² Then* he brought the second ram near, the ram of the consecration, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram's head, ²³ and he slaughtered it. Then* Moses took _⌊some of_⌋* its blood and put* it on Aaron's right ear lobe and on his right hand's thumb and on his right foot's big toe. ²⁴ Then* he brought Aaron's sons near, and Moses put _⌊some of_⌋* the blood on their right ear lobe and on their right hand's thumb and on their right foot's big toe, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around. ²⁵ Then* he took the fat and the fat tail and all of the fat that was on the inner parts* and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right upper thigh; ²⁶ and from the basket of the unleavened bread that was before Yahweh he took one ring-shaped unleavened bread and one ring-shaped bread with* oil and one wafer, and he placed them on the _⌊fat parts_⌋* and on the right upper thigh. ²⁷ Then* he put _⌊all of these_⌋* on Aaron's palms and on his sons' palms, and he waved them as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh. ²⁸ Then* Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they were a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance—it was an offering made by fire for* Yahweh. ²⁹ Then* Moses took the breast section, and he waved it as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh from the ram of the consecration offering; it was Moses' share, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

²⁴ Then* he brought Aaron's sons near, and Moses put _⌊some of_⌋* the blood on their right ear lobe and on their right hand's thumb and on their right foot's big toe, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.

⁷ And he shall spatter the blood* seven times on the one who presents himself for cleansing from the infectious skin disease, and he shall declare him clean, and he shall send the living bird _⌊into the open field_⌋.*

¹⁴ And the priest shall take _⌊some of_⌋* the guilt offering's blood, and the priest shall put it* on the right ear's lobe of the one who presents himself for cleansing and on his right hand's thumb and on his right foot's big toe.

¹⁶ and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is on his left palm, and he shall spatter _⌊some of_⌋* the oil with his finger seven times _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh.

¹⁴ And he shall take _⌊some of_⌋* the bull's blood, and he shall spatter it* with his finger on the atonement cover's surface on the eastern side, and _⌊before_⌋* the atonement cover he shall spatter _⌊some of_⌋* the blood with his finger seven times. ¹⁵ "And he shall slaughter the sin offering's goat, which is for the people, and he shall bring its blood _⌊from behind_⌋* the curtain, and he shall do with its blood as that which he did with* the bull's blood, and he shall spatter it on the atonement cover and _⌊before_⌋* the atonement cover.

¹⁹ And he shall spatter _⌊some of_⌋* the blood on it seven times with his finger, and he shall cleanse it and consecrate* it from the _⌊Israelites_⌋'* impurities.

⁵ The Lord Yahweh has opened an ear for me, and I, I was not rebellious. I did not turn backwards;

¹⁵ so he shall sprinkle many nations; because of him, kings shall shut their mouths.* For they shall see what has not been told them, and they shall consider with full attention what they have not heard.

³³ And he took him away from the crowd by himself and* put his fingers into his ears, and after* spitting, he touched his tongue.

¹⁹ For when* every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves* with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people, ²⁰ saying,
"This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded for you."* ²¹ And likewise he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the utensils of service with the blood. ²² Indeed, nearly everything is purified with blood according to the law, and apart from the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. ²³ Therefore it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these.

²⁴ and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and _⌊to the sprinkled blood_⌋* that speaks better than Abel's does.

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and for sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

¹ "And this is the thing that you will do for them to consecrate them to serve as a priest for me: Take _⌊one young bull_⌋* and two rams without defect

⁷ And you will take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.

³⁰ Then* Moses took _⌊some of_⌋* the anointing oil and _⌊some of_⌋* the blood that was on the altar, and he spattered them on Aaron, on his garments, and on Aaron's sons and on his sons' garments with him—thus* he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

¹⁵ And the priest shall take _⌊some of_⌋* the log of oil, and he shall pour it* on his* left palm; ¹⁶ and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is on his left palm, and he shall spatter _⌊some of_⌋* the oil with his finger seven times _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh. ¹⁷ Then* the priest shall put _⌊some of_⌋* the remaining oil, which is on his palm, on the right ear's lobe of the one to be cleansed and on his right hand's thumb and on his right foot's big toe, on top of the guilt offering's blood.* ¹⁸ And the remaining oil that is on the priest's palm he shall put on the head of the one who presents himself for cleansing, and the priest shall make atonement for him _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh.

²⁹ And the remaining oil that is on the priest's palm he shall put on the head of the one who presents himself for cleansing to make atonement for him _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh.

² And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest on him— a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and might, a spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh. ³ And his _⌊breath_⌋* is in the fear of Yahweh. And he shall judge not by his eyesight, and he shall rebuke not by _⌊what he hears with_⌋* his ears. ⁴ But he shall judge the poor with righteousness, and he shall decide for the needy of the earth with rectitude. And he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he shall kill the wicked person with the breath of his lips. ⁵ And righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his loins.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me, because Yahweh has anointed me, he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up _⌊the brokenhearted_⌋,* to _⌊proclaim_⌋* release to the captives and liberation to those who are bound, ² to _⌊proclaim_⌋* the year of Yahweh's favor, and our God's day of vengeance, to comfort all those in mourning, ³ to _⌊give_⌋* for those in mourning in Zion, to give them a head wrap instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit. And _⌊they will be called_⌋* oaks of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, to show his glory.

¹⁹ And for them I sanctify myself, so that they themselves also may be sanctified in the truth.

²⁹ How much worse punishment do you think the person will be considered worthy of who treats with disdain the Son of God and who considers ordinary the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy and who insults the Spirit of grace?

¹³ And you will take and turn into smoke on the altar all the fat covering the inner parts and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them.

⁹ He shall present* from the sacrifice of the fellowship offering an offering made by fire for Yahweh: he must remove its fat, the entire fat tail near the tailbone, and the fat covering the inner parts* and all the fat that is on the inner parts,*

³² And the right upper thigh you* must give as a contribution for the priest from your* fellowship offerings' sacrifice. ³³ As for the one from Aaron's sons who presents the blood of the fellowship offerings and the fat, the right upper thigh _⌊shall belong to him_⌋* as his share,

²⁵ Then* he took the fat and the fat tail and all of the fat that was on the inner parts* and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right upper thigh; ²⁶ and from the basket of the unleavened bread that was before Yahweh he took one ring-shaped unleavened bread and one ring-shaped bread with* oil and one wafer, and he placed them on the _⌊fat parts_⌋* and on the right upper thigh. ²⁷ Then* he put _⌊all of these_⌋* on Aaron's palms and on his sons' palms, and he waved them as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh.

²¹ Then* Aaron waved the breast sections and the right upper thigh as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh, just as Moses had commanded.

¹⁴ And the wave offering's breast section and the upper thigh of the contribution offering you* must eat in a clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you, because they are given as your allotted portion and your sons' allotted portion from the sacrifices of the _⌊Israelites_⌋'* fellowship offerings.

¹⁸ But their flesh will be for you like the breast section of the wave offering, and it will be for you like the right upper thigh.

² and unleavened bread and unleavened, ring-shaped bread cakes mixed with oil, and wafers of unleavened breads smeared with oil. You will make them with finely milled wheat flour, ³ and you will put them on one basket, and you will bring them on the basket and bring the bull and the two rams.

²⁶ "And you will take the breast section from the ram of ordination that is for Aaron, and you will wave it as a wave offering before Yahweh. It will be your portion. ²⁷ And you will consecrate the wave offering breast section and the thigh of the contribution that was waved and that was presented* from the ram of the ordination that is for Aaron and for his sons.

³⁰ His own hands must bring Yahweh's offerings made by fire. He must bring the fat in addition to the breast section to wave the breast section as a wave offering before Yahweh,

²⁷ Then* he put _⌊all of these_⌋* on Aaron's palms and on his sons' palms, and he waved them as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh.

⁴¹ And the second lamb you will offer _⌊at twilight_⌋;* you will offer a grain offering and its libation like that of the morning for a fragrance of appeasement, an offering made by fire for Yahweh.

² And he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and he* shall take _⌊his handful from its finely milled flour_⌋* and from its oil in addition to all its frankincense. The priest* shall turn its token portion into smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

⁹ And the priest shall take away from the grain offering its token portion, and he shall turn it into smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

¹⁶ The* priest shall turn into smoke its token portion from its coarsely crushed grain together with all of its frankincense—it is an offering made by fire for Yahweh.'"

³ He shall present* from the sacrifice of the fellowship offering an offering made by fire for Yahweh consisting of* the fat covering the inner parts* and all the fat that is on the inner parts,*

⁵ Aaron's sons shall turn it to smoke on the altar in addition to the burnt offering that is on the wood, which is on the fire; it is an offering made by fire as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

¹¹ The priest* shall turn it into smoke on the altar as a food offering made by fire for Yahweh.

¹⁴ He shall present* his offering from it as an offering made by fire for Yahweh: the fat covering the inner parts* and all the fat that is on the inner parts,*

¹⁶ The priest* shall turn them into smoke on the altar as a food offering;* all the fat is an offering made by fire as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

⁵ And the priest shall turn it into smoke it on the altar as a food offering made by fire for Yahweh; it is a guilt offering.

²⁵ When anyone eats fat from the domestic animal from which he presented an offering made by fire for Yahweh, then* that person* who ate shall be cut off from his people.

²⁹ "Speak to the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* saying, 'The one who presents his fellowship offerings' sacrifice for Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from his fellowship offerings' sacrifice. ³⁰ His own hands must bring Yahweh's offerings made by fire. He must bring the fat in addition to the breast section to wave the breast section as a wave offering before Yahweh, ³¹ and the priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, and the breast section shall be for Aaron and his* sons.

²⁸ Then* Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they were a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance—it was an offering made by fire for* Yahweh.

¹³ And you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your allotted portion and the allotted portion of your sons from Yahweh's offerings made by fire, for so I have been commanded.

²⁸ And I chose him from all the tribes of Israel to be a priest to me, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to bear an ephod before me. I gave to the house of your ancestor* all the offerings made by fire by the _⌊Israelites_⌋.*

⁶ Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel also was among those who called on his name. They called to Yahweh, and he answered them.

³⁴ because I have taken the wave offering's breast section and the contribution offering's upper thigh from the _⌊Israelites_⌋* out of their fellowship offerings' sacrifices, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his* sons from the _⌊Israelites_⌋* as a lasting rule.'"

²⁹ Then* Moses took the breast section, and he waved it as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh from the ram of the consecration offering; it was Moses' share, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

³¹ and the priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, and the breast section shall be for Aaron and his* sons. ³² And the right upper thigh you* must give as a contribution for the priest from your* fellowship offerings' sacrifice. ³³ As for the one from Aaron's sons who presents the blood of the fellowship offerings and the fat, the right upper thigh _⌊shall belong to him_⌋* as his share, ³⁴ because I have taken the wave offering's breast section and the contribution offering's upper thigh from the _⌊Israelites_⌋* out of their fellowship offerings' sacrifices, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his* sons from the _⌊Israelites_⌋* as a lasting rule.'"

³⁷ This is the regulation for the burnt offering, for the grain offering and for the sin offering and for the guilt offering and for the consecration offering and for the fellowship offerings' sacrifice,

²⁸ Then* Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they were a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance—it was an offering made by fire for* Yahweh. ²⁹ Then* Moses took the breast section, and he waved it as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh from the ram of the consecration offering; it was Moses' share, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ³⁰ Then* Moses took _⌊some of_⌋* the anointing oil and _⌊some of_⌋* the blood that was on the altar, and he spattered them on Aaron, on his garments, and on Aaron's sons and on his sons' garments with him—thus* he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him. ³¹ Then* Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the meat in the entrance to* the tent of assembly, and there you must eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the consecration offering, just as I have commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons must eat it,'

¹⁵ They must bring the thigh of the contribution offering and the breast section of the wave offering in addition to the offerings made by fire, consisting of the fat portions, to wave as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh; and it will be for you and for your sons with you as a lasting rule, just as Yahweh had commanded."

²⁰ The priest will wave them as a wave offering _⌊before the presence of_⌋* Yahweh; they* are a holy object to the priest, in addition to the breast section of the wave offering, and in addition to the upper thigh of the contribution; and afterward the Nazirite may drink wine.

¹¹ This is also for you: the contribution of their gift of the wave offerings of the children Israel. I have given them to you and your sons and your daughters with you as an eternal decree; whoever is clean in your house may eat it.

¹⁸ But their flesh will be for you like the breast section of the wave offering, and it will be for you like the right upper thigh. ¹⁹ All the contributions of holiness that the _⌊Israelites_⌋* offer to Yahweh I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you as an eternal decree; it is an eternal covenant of salt _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh to you and your offspring with you."

³ Now this shall be the share of the priest from the people, from _⌊those who sacrifice the sacrifice_⌋,* whether it is an ox, sheep, or goat, and they shall give the priest the shoulder and the jawbones and the stomach.

²⁸ For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the statement of the oath, after the law, appoints a Son, who is made perfect _⌊forever_⌋*.

²⁷ And you will consecrate the wave offering breast section and the thigh of the contribution that was waved and that was presented* from the ram of the ordination that is for Aaron and for his sons.

¹ " 'Now if* his offering is a sacrifice of fellowship offering, if he brings it from the cattle,* whether male or female, he must bring it without defect before Yahweh.

¹¹ " 'And this is the regulation of the fellowship offerings that he must present to Yahweh: ¹² If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice he shall present ring-shaped unleavened bread mixed with oil and unleavened bread wafers smeared with oil and well-mixed ring-shaped bread cakes of finely milled flour mixed with oil. ¹³ In addition to ring-shaped cakes of bread with yeast, he must present his grain* offering together with* his sacrifice of thanksgiving peace offerings. ¹⁴ And he shall present one of each kind of grain* offering as a contribution for Yahweh; _⌊it belongs to_⌋* the priest who sprinkles the fellowship offerings' blood. ¹⁵ And the meat of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving fellowship offerings must be eaten on the day of his offering; he must not leave it until morning. ¹⁶ " 'But* if his sacrifice is for a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be eaten on the day of his presenting his sacrifice, and on the next day the remainder* from it may be eaten, ¹⁷ but* the remainder from the sacrifice's meat must be burned up in the fire on the third day. ¹⁸ And if indeed some of the meat of his fellowship offerings' sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted; it will not be considered of benefit for the one who presented it—it shall be unclean meat, and the person* who eats it shall bear his guilt. ¹⁹ And the meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned with fire, and as for the clean* meat, anyone who is clean may eat the meat. ²⁰ And the person* who eats meat from the fellowship offerings' sacrifice, which is for Yahweh, and whose uncleanness is upon him—that person* shall be cut off from his people. ²¹ And when a person* touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean detestable thing, and he eats from the meat of the fellowship offerings' sacrifice, which is for Yahweh, then* that person* shall be cut off from his people.'" ²² Then* Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²³ "Speak to the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* saying, 'You* must not eat any fat of ox, or* sheep, or* goat; ²⁴ and a dead body's fat or* mangled carcass's fat may be used for any _⌊purpose_⌋,* but* you* certainly must not eat it. ²⁵ When anyone eats fat from the domestic animal from which he presented an offering made by fire for Yahweh, then* that person* who ate shall be cut off from his people. ²⁶ And in any of your* dwellings, you must not eat any blood _⌊belonging to_⌋* birds* or* domestic animals.* ²⁷ Any person* who eats any blood, that person* shall be cut off from his people.'" ²⁸ Then* Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁹ "Speak to the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* saying, 'The one who presents his fellowship offerings' sacrifice for Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from his fellowship offerings' sacrifice. ³⁰ His own hands must bring Yahweh's offerings made by fire. He must bring the fat in addition to the breast section to wave the breast section as a wave offering before Yahweh, ³¹ and the priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, and the breast section shall be for Aaron and his* sons. ³² And the right upper thigh you* must give as a contribution for the priest from your* fellowship offerings' sacrifice. ³³ As for the one from Aaron's sons who presents the blood of the fellowship offerings and the fat, the right upper thigh _⌊shall belong to him_⌋* as his share, ³⁴ because I have taken the wave offering's breast section and the contribution offering's upper thigh from the _⌊Israelites_⌋* out of their fellowship offerings' sacrifices, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his* sons from the _⌊Israelites_⌋* as a lasting rule.'" ³⁵ This is Aaron's allotted portion and his sons' allotted portion from Yahweh's offerings made by fire _⌊when_⌋* he brought them forward to serve as priests for Yahweh. ³⁶ This is what Yahweh commanded to give them from the _⌊Israelites_⌋* on the day of his anointing them; it is a lasting statute for their generations. ³⁷ This is the regulation for the burnt offering, for the grain offering and for the sin offering and for the guilt offering and for the consecration offering and for the fellowship offerings' sacrifice, ³⁸ which Yahweh commanded Moses on _⌊Mount Sinai_⌋* on the day of his commanding the _⌊Israelites_⌋* to present their offerings to Yahweh in the desert of Sinai.

¹⁴ And the wave offering's breast section and the upper thigh of the contribution offering you* must eat in a clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you, because they are given as your allotted portion and your sons' allotted portion from the sacrifices of the _⌊Israelites_⌋'* fellowship offerings. ¹⁵ They must bring the thigh of the contribution offering and the breast section of the wave offering in addition to the offerings made by fire, consisting of the fat portions, to wave as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh; and it will be for you and for your sons with you as a lasting rule, just as Yahweh had commanded."

¹⁹ whenever you eat from the food of the land, you will lift up a contribution to Yahweh. ²⁰ You must lift up a contribution of the first batch of your ring-shaped dough bread; you must lift it up as a contribution of the threshing floor.

²⁴ because the tithes* of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* that are _⌊offered_⌋* to Yahweh as a contribution, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I said to them, 'They will not receive an inheritance in the midst of the _⌊Israelites_⌋.'"*

²⁹ From all your gifts _⌊you will present_⌋* every contribution of Yahweh, from all its fat, the part that is sacred.'

²⁹ take from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a contribution to Yahweh.

⁴¹ And Moses gave away the tribute of the contribution of Yahweh to Eleazar the priest, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.

³ And you will speak to all the skilled of heart, whom I have given _⌊a gift of skill_⌋,* and they will make the garments of Aaron to consecrate him for his serving as my priest. ⁴ And these are the garments that they will make: A breast piece and an ephod and a robe and a tunic of specially woven fabric,* a turban and a sash. And they will make holy garments* for Aaron your brother, and for his sons to serve as priests for me.

⁵ And you will take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic and the robe of the ephod, and you will fasten to him the ephod and the breast piece with the waistband of the ephod. ⁶ And you will set the turban on his head, and you will put the holy diadem on the turban. ⁷ And you will take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.

³⁰ And you will anoint Aaron and his sons, and you will consecrate them to serve as priests for me.

⁷ Then* he put the tunic on him and tied* the sash around him; then* he clothed him with the robe and put* the ephod on him; then* he tied the ephod's waistband around him and fastened* the ephod* to him with it. ⁸ Then* he placed the breastpiece on him and put* the Urim and the Thummim into the breastpiece; ⁹ and he placed the turban on his head, and on _⌊the front of_⌋* the turban he placed the gold rosette, the holy diadem, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

⁸ Yahweh spoke to Aaron, "Behold, I myself have given to you the responsibility of my contributions for all the holy objects of the _⌊Israelites_⌋;* I have given them as a portion to you and your sons as an eternal decree.

²⁶ Strip off Aaron's garments, and put them on Eleazar his son; Aaron will be gathered to his people, and he will die there." ²⁷ So Moses did just as Yahweh commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor before the eyes of all the community. ²⁸ And Moses stripped off Aaron's garments and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar went down from the mountain.

¹⁰ And he waited another seven days, and _⌊again he sent out_⌋* the dove from the ark.

¹² And he waited _⌊seven more days_⌋,* and he sent out the dove. But it did not return again to him.

¹⁵ You will eat unleavened bread for seven days. Surely on the first day you shall remove yeast from your houses, because anyone who eats food with yeast from the first day until the seventh day—that person will be cut off from Israel.

³⁵ And you will do so for Aaron and for his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; seven days you will ordain them.

³³ And you must not go out from the entrance to* the tent of assembly for seven days, until the day of fulfilling the days of your* consecration, because _⌊it will take seven days to ordain you_⌋.* ³⁴ Just as was done* on this day, Yahweh commanded to be done* in order to make atonement for you.* ³⁵ And you* must stay at the entrance to* the tent of assembly day and night for seven days, and you* shall keep the obligation from* Yahweh, so you* might not die, for thus I have been commanded."

¹ Then* on the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and Israel's elders,

² "Speak to the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* saying, 'When a woman becomes pregnant and she gives birth to a male,* then* she shall be unclean seven days—as in the time of her menstrual bleeding, she shall become unclean. ³ And on the eighth day his foreskin's flesh shall be circumcised.

⁵ And the priest shall examine it on the seventh day, and _⌊if_⌋,* in his eyes, the infection has stayed unchanged, the infection has not spread on the skin, then* the priest shall confine him for seven days a second time.

²⁸ And Moses stripped off Aaron's garments and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar went down from the mountain.

¹⁴ And they marched around the city once on the second day, and they returned to the camp. They did this for six days. ¹⁵ Then on the seventh day they rose early at dawn, and they marched around the city in this manner seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.

²⁶ Seven days they must purify the altar and they must cleanse it and so _⌊they will consecrate it_⌋.*

⁶ And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread and came to them at Troas within five days, where we stayed seven days. ⁷ And on the first day of the week, when* we had assembled to break bread, Paul began conversing* with them, because he* was going to leave on the next day, and he extended his* message until midnight.

¹³ And the custom of the priests with the people was this: When any man _⌊brought a sacrifice_⌋,* as the meat was boiling, the servant of the priest would take a three-pronged meat fork in his hand

¹⁵ Also, before they _⌊offered up_⌋* the fat as a burnt offering, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give the priest meat for roasting, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but only _⌊raw_⌋."*

²⁰ And he said to me, "This is the place where the priests will boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering in order not to bring them out to the outer courtyard to make the people holy. ²¹ And he brought me to the outer courtyard and led me past the four corners of the courtyard; and look, _⌊there was a courtyard in each corner of the courtyard_⌋.* ²² In the four corners of the courtyard were small* courtyards forty cubits in length and thirty cubits in width, each with _⌊the same measurements_⌋* for the four of them with corners.* ²³ And a row was all around inside* them, and cooking-places were made under the rows of stones* all around. ²⁴ And he said to me, "These are the houses for* cooking, where the ones serving the temple shall cook the sacrifices of the people."

⁹ And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy from the elders of Israel went up. ¹⁰ And they saw the God of Israel, and what was under his feet was like sapphire tile work and like the very heavens for clearness. ¹¹ And toward the leaders of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* he did not stretch out his hand, and they beheld God, and they ate, and they drank.

¹² Then* Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "As for the remaining parts,* take the remainder of the grain offering from Yahweh's offerings made by fire and eat it, the unleavened bread, beside the altar, because it is _⌊a most holy thing_⌋.* ¹³ And you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your allotted portion and the allotted portion of your sons from Yahweh's offerings made by fire, for so I have been commanded. ¹⁴ And the wave offering's breast section and the upper thigh of the contribution offering you* must eat in a clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you, because they are given as your allotted portion and your sons' allotted portion from the sacrifices of the _⌊Israelites_⌋'* fellowship offerings.

⁴ how he entered into the house of God and ate the bread of the presentation, which it was not permitted for him or for those with him to eat, but only for the priests?

¹³ And you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your allotted portion and the allotted portion of your sons from Yahweh's offerings made by fire, for so I have been commanded. ¹⁴ And the wave offering's breast section and the upper thigh of the contribution offering you* must eat in a clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you, because they are given as your allotted portion and your sons' allotted portion from the sacrifices of the _⌊Israelites_⌋'* fellowship offerings. ¹⁵ They must bring the thigh of the contribution offering and the breast section of the wave offering in addition to the offerings made by fire, consisting of the fat portions, to wave as a wave offering _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh; and it will be for you and for your sons with you as a lasting rule, just as Yahweh had commanded." ¹⁶ Then* Moses sought all over for the goat of the sin offering and behold, it was burned up. So* he was angry with Aaron's remaining sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying, ¹⁷ "Why did you not eat the sin offering on the sanctuary's site, because it is _⌊a most holy thing_⌋?* And he gave it to you to remove the community's guilt, to make atonement for them _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh. ¹⁸ Look, its blood was not brought _⌊inside the sanctuary_⌋.* Certainly you should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded."

¹⁰ " '_⌊No stranger shall eat_⌋* the votive offering; nor shall a temporary resident with* a priest or* a hired worker eat the votive offering. ¹¹ But* a priest, if with his money he buys a person as _⌊his possession_⌋,* that one may eat it, and the descendants of his house themselves may eat his food. ¹² And a priest's daughter, when _⌊she marries a layman_⌋,* she herself may not eat _⌊the votive offering_⌋.* ¹³ But* a priest's daughter, when she becomes a widow or* divorced or there is no offspring for her, and she returns to her father's house as in her childhood, she may eat from her father's food, but* _⌊no layman may eat it_⌋.*

⁵¹ And when the tabernacle is set out, the Levites will _⌊take it down_⌋,* and when encamping the tabernacle the Levites will set it up; the stranger* that approaches it will be put to death.

³⁸ Those encamped before the tabernacle to the east—before the tent of assembly to the east—were Moses and Aaron and his sons; they will keep the responsibility of the sanctuary _⌊for the Israelites_⌋;* and the stranger* who approaches will be put to death.

⁵ And he said to Korah and to his entire company, saying, "Tomorrow morning Yahweh will make known who is his and who is holy, and he will bring him near to him, whomever he chooses he will bring near to him.

⁴ They will be joined to you, and they will keep the responsibility of the tent of assembly for the entire service of the tent; a stranger may not come near you.

²⁶ The afflicted will eat and will be satisfied. Those who seek him will praise Yahweh. May your* heart live forever.

⁵³ Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves! ⁵⁴ The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

²⁴ and after he* had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

¹⁰ And you must not leave any of it until morning; anything left from it until morning you must burn in the fire.

¹⁹ And Moses said to them, "Let no one leave any of it until morning."

²⁶ "And you will take the breast section from the ram of ordination that is for Aaron, and you will wave it as a wave offering before Yahweh. It will be your portion.

²⁸ And it will be for* Aaron and for his sons as a lasting rule from the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* because it is a contribution, and it will be a contribution from the _⌊Israelites_⌋* from their sacrifices of fellowship, their contribution to Yahweh.

¹⁸ And if indeed some of the meat of his fellowship offerings' sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted; it will not be considered of benefit for the one who presented it—it shall be unclean meat, and the person* who eats it shall bear his guilt. ¹⁹ And the meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned with fire, and as for the clean* meat, anyone who is clean may eat the meat.

³² but* the remainder of the meat and the bread you* must burn in the fire.

¹⁶ Then* Moses sought all over for the goat of the sin offering and behold, it was burned up. So* he was angry with Aaron's remaining sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying,

³⁰ Seven days the priest who replaces him from among his sons will wear them, who comes to the tent of assembly to serve in the sanctuary.

³⁷ Seven days you will make atonement for the altar, and you will consecrate it, and the altar will be _⌊a most holy thing_⌋.* _⌊Anyone who_⌋* touches the altar will be holy.

⁴² According to all that Yahweh had commanded Moses, so the _⌊Israelites_⌋* did all the work. ⁴³ And Moses saw all the work, and, indeed, they had done it as Yahweh had commanded; so they did, and Moses blessed them.

¹² And you will bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of assembly, and you will wash them with the water. ¹³ And you will clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and you will anoint him, and you will consecrate him, and he will serve as a priest for me. ¹⁴ And you will bring his sons, and you will clothe them with tunics. ¹⁵ And you will anoint them as you anointed their father, and they will serve as priests for me. And their anointing will be for them to be a lasting priesthood* throughout their generations." ¹⁶ And Moses did according to all that Yahweh had commanded him; so he did.

⁸ Then* the one who presents himself for cleansing shall wash his garments, and he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall wash himself in the water; thus* he shall be clean, and afterward he shall enter the camp, but* he shall stay _⌊outside his tent_⌋* for seven days. ⁹ _⌊And then_⌋* on the seventh day he must shave off all his hair—he must shave his head and his beard and _⌊his eyebrows_⌋* and all the rest* of his hair—and he shall wash his garments, and he shall wash his body in the water; thus* he shall be clean. ¹⁰ "And on the eighth day he must take two male lambs without defect and one ewe-lamb _⌊in its first year_⌋* without defect and three-tenths of an ephah* of finely milled flour mixed with oil as a grain offering and one log of oil. ¹¹ And the priest who cleanses him* shall present the man who presents himself for cleansing and _⌊these things_⌋* _⌊before_⌋* the tent of assembly's entrance.

¹⁴ He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and will proclaim it* to you.

¹⁰ "And you will bring the bull before the tent of assembly, and Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the head of the bull. ¹¹ And you will slaughter the bull before Yahweh at the entrance of the tent of assembly. ¹² And you will take some of the blood of the bull and with your finger put it on the horns of the altar, and you will pour out all the blood at the base of the altar. ¹³ And you will take and turn into smoke on the altar all the fat covering the inner parts and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them. ¹⁴ And the flesh of the bull and its skin and its offal you will burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

²⁶ And you will anoint with it the tent of assembly and the ark of the testimony,

²⁸ and the altar of burnt offering and all its equipment and the basin and its stand. ²⁹ And you will consecrate them, and they will be most holy things; _⌊anyone who_⌋* touches them will be holy.

⁹ "And you will take the anointing oil, and you will anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and you will consecrate all of its equipment,* and it will be holy. ¹⁰ And you will anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all of its equipment,* and you will consecrate the altar, and the altar will be a most holy thing.* ¹¹ And you will anoint the basin and its stand, and you will consecrate it.

¹⁰ Then* Moses took the anointing oil and anointed* the tabernacle and all that was in it, and he consecrated them. ¹¹ And he spattered _⌊part of_⌋* it on the altar seven times—thus* he anointed the altar and all of its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.

¹⁶ Thus* he shall make atonement for the sanctuary from the _⌊Israelites_⌋'* impurities and from their transgressions for all their sins; and so he must do for the tent of assembly, which dwells with them in the midst of their impurities. ¹⁷ And _⌊no person_⌋* shall be in the tent of assembly when he enters to make atonement in the sanctuary until he comes out, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family and for all of Israel's assembly.

¹ On the day Moses finished setting up the tabernacle and appointed and consecrated it and all its vessels, and the altar and its vessels, and he appointed them and consecrated them,

²⁵ For seven days you must provide a goat of sin offering for the day and a bull, _⌊a calf_⌋,* and a ram from the flock without defect; you must provide them.

²⁷ And they will finish the days, _⌊and then_⌋* on the eighth day and beyond that the priests will offer on the altar your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings, and then I will be pleased with you," _⌊declares_⌋* the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁸ And the rest in its length _⌊alongside_⌋* _⌊the holy district_⌋,* ten thousand cubits* eastwards and ten thousand* westwards; and it shall be _⌊alongside_⌋* _⌊the holy district_⌋* and its yield* shall be as food for the workers of the city. ¹⁹ And the workers of the city from all the tribes of Israel shall cultivate it. ²⁰ All of the contribution, twenty-five thousand by twenty five thousand cubits* square, you shall set apart as _⌊the holy district_⌋* along with the property of the city.

¹¹ And every priest stands every day serving and offering the same sacrifices many times, which are never able to take away sins.

¹⁰ And you will anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all of its equipment,* and you will consecrate the altar, and the altar will be a most holy thing.*

²⁴ "Seventy weeks is decreed for your people and _⌊for your holy city_⌋,* to put an end to the transgression and to seal up sin* and to make atonement for guilt and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal vision and prophet and to anoint _⌊the most holy place_⌋.*

¹⁷ Fools and blind people! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy?

¹⁹ Blind people! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy?

³ You will say to them, 'This is the offering made by fire that you will offer to Yahweh: two male lambs without defect _⌊in their first year_⌋* as a continual burnt offering each day. ⁴ You will offer one male lamb in the morning, and the second male lamb you will offer _⌊at twilight_⌋,* ⁵ and a tenth of an ephah of finely milled flour as a grain offering, mixed with a fourth of a measure of beaten oil. ⁶ It is a continual burnt offering that was _⌊ordained_⌋* on Mount Sinai as a fragrance of appeasement, an offering made by fire for Yahweh. ⁷ The libation with it will be a fourth of a liquid measure for each male lamb; in the sanctuary you will pour out the libation of fermented drink for Yahweh. ⁸ And the second male lamb you will offer _⌊at twilight_⌋;* as the grain offering of the morning and as its libation you will offer it, an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

⁴⁰ to offer burnt offerings regularly to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the law of Yahweh that he commanded concerning Israel.

⁴ Look, I am building a house for the name of Yahweh my God to dedicate to him, to offer sweet spices of incense before him, and for the regular rows of bread, and burnt offerings for mornings, evenings, Sabbaths, and new moon festivals, and for appointed feasts of Yahweh our God which are everlasting for Israel.

¹¹ They offer burnt offerings to Yahweh _⌊every morning_⌋* and _⌊every evening_⌋,* sweet spices of incense, and the rows of bread upon the pure table. And the golden lampstand with its lamps they keep kindled _⌊every evening_⌋,* for we are keeping the requirement of Yahweh our God, but you yourselves have forsaken him.

³ And the gift of the king was out of his own possessions for the burnt offerings—the burnt offerings for the morning and the evening and for Sabbaths, new moon festivals, and appointed feasts, as is written in the law of Yahweh.

³ They set up the altar on its foundations, because _⌊they were in terror_⌋* because of the peoples of the lands. And they offered burnt offerings on it for Yahweh, burnt offerings for the morning and the evening.

²¹ And I was still speaking in prayer, and the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision _⌊previously_⌋,* _⌊in my weariness touched me_⌋* at the time of the evening offering.

²⁷ And he will make a strong covenant with the many for one week, but in half of the week he will let cease sacrifice and offering _⌊and in its place_⌋* a desolating abomination comes even until _⌊the determined complete destruction_⌋* is poured out on the desolator."

¹¹ And from the time the regular burnt offering is removed and the abomination that causes desolation _⌊is set up_⌋* there will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

²⁹ On the next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

²⁷ who does not _⌊need every day_⌋* like the former high priests to offer up sacrifices for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because he did this once for all when he* offered up himself.

⁹ And they were singing a new song, saying,
"You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slaughtered, and bought people for God by your blood from every tribe and language and people and nation, ¹⁰ and made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth." ¹¹ And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and of the living creatures and of the elders, and their number was ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands times thousands, ¹² saying with a loud voice,
"Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"

¹⁵ Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, "On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering and the grain offering of the evening, the burnt offering of the king and his grain offering, the burnt offering of all of the people of the land, their offerings, their libations, and all of the blood of the burnt offerings, the blood of the sacrifices you must dash on it. But the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by."

³ O Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will set forth* my case to you and I will watch.*

¹⁶ As for me, I will call to God, and Yahweh will save me. ¹⁷ _⌊Morning, noon and night_⌋* I will lament and groan loudly, and he will hear my voice.

¹³ And a male lamb, _⌊a yearling_⌋* without defect, he must provide as a burnt offering _⌊daily_⌋* for Yahweh; _⌊every morning_⌋* he must provide it. ¹⁴ And a grain offering he must provide in addition to it _⌊every morning_⌋,* a* sixth of an* ephah and a third of a hin of olive oil to moisten the finely milled flour as a grain offering to Yahweh _⌊as a perpetual statute_⌋.* ¹⁵ So they must provide the male lamb and the grain offering and the olive oil _⌊every morning_⌋* _⌊as a regular burnt offering_⌋."*

¹⁰ And the whole crowd of the people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering.

⁷ to which our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve him* night and day. Concerning this hope I am being accused by the Jews, O king!

¹⁴ And Jacob set up a pillar at the place where God had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering upon it, and poured oil on it.

³⁶ (And an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)

²⁴ and five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the sanctuary shekel, and a hin of olive oil.

¹³ And its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah* of finely milled flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, an appeasing fragrance; and its libation shall be a fourth of a hin* of wine.

¹⁵ and a basket of unleavened bread, finely milled flour of ring-shaped bread cakes mixed with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread smeared with oil, and their grain offering and their libations. ¹⁶ The priest will present _⌊before Yahweh_⌋* and offer his sin offering, his burnt offering; ¹⁷ he will offer a ram as a sacrifice of a fellowship offering to Yahweh, in addition to the basket of the unleavened bread; the priest will offer his grain offering and his libation.

⁴ And the one who presents an offering* for Yahweh, he will present a grain offering of finely milled flour; a tenth will be mixed with a fourth of the liquid measure of oil; ⁵ and you will add a fourth of wine for the libation upon the burnt offering, or to the sacrifice for each ram-lamb.

⁷ You will present a third of the liquid measure of wine for the libation, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

⁹ you will present with _⌊the bull_⌋* a grain offering of three-tenths of finely milled flour mixed with half a liquid measure of oil, ¹⁰ and you will present half a liquid measure of wine as a libation, as an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

²⁴ and if it was done unintentionally _⌊without the knowledge_⌋* of the community, then the entire community must prepare one _⌊young bull_⌋* as a burnt offering, as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, and its grain offering and its libation, according to the stipulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

⁵ and a tenth of an ephah of finely milled flour as a grain offering, mixed with a fourth of a measure of beaten oil.

¹⁰ This is the burnt offering every Sabbath in addition to the continual burnt offering and its libation.

¹³ and a tenth of finely milled flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for each male lamb, for a burnt offering of a fragrance of appeasement, an offering of fire for Yahweh. ¹⁴ Their libations will be half a liquid measure of wine for the bull and a third of a liquid measure of wine for the ram and a fourth of a liquid measure of wine for the male lamb; this is the burnt offering for every month for the months of the year. ¹⁵ And one male goat as a sin offering for Yahweh; it will be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its libation.

²⁴ Like this you will offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh; it will be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its libation.

¹⁶ and one male goat for a sin offering, in addition to the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its libation.

³⁸ Who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their libations? Let them rise up, and let them help you; _⌊Let them be to you a refuge_⌋.*

⁶ Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; they, they are your lot; indeed, to them you have poured out a drink offering, you have brought a food offering.
Shall I relent concerning these things?

¹¹ And _⌊an amount of water_⌋* you shall drink, a sixth of a hin; _⌊at fixed times_⌋* you shall drink it.

²⁸ And I brought them to the land that _⌊I swore_⌋* to give* to them, and they saw every high hill and every leafy tree, and they offered their sacrifices, and they presented there the provocation of their offering, and they gave there their fragrant incense offering, and they poured out their libations there.

¹⁷ "But on the prince shall be the responsibility for the burnt offerings, and the grain offering, and the libation at the feasts, and at the New Moon festivals, and at* the Sabbaths at all of the assemblies of the house of Israel; he shall provide the sin offering, and the grain offering, and the burnt offering, and the fellowship offering to make atonement for the house of Israel.

²⁴ And as a grain offering, an ephah for* the bull and an ephah for* the ram he must provide, and a hin of olive oil for _⌊each_⌋* ephah.

⁵ And the grain offering he will give shall be an ephah _⌊for each ram_⌋,* and for the male lambs the grain offering shall be _⌊as much as he wants to give_⌋* and a hin of olive oil _⌊for each ephah_⌋.*

⁷ And an ephah for each bull and an ephah for the ram he must provide as a grain offering, and also for the male lambs _⌊as much as he can afford_⌋* and a hin of olive oil for each ephah.

¹¹ And at the festivals and at the appointed times, the grain offering will be an ephah with a bull and an ephah with the ram and with the male lambs, _⌊as much as he wants to give_⌋,* and a hin of olive oil _⌊for each ephah_⌋.*

¹⁴ And a grain offering he must provide in addition to it _⌊every morning_⌋,* a* sixth of an* ephah and a third of a hin of olive oil to moisten the finely milled flour as a grain offering to Yahweh _⌊as a perpetual statute_⌋.*

⁹ The offering and libation are withheld from the house* of Yahweh. The priests mourn, the ministers of Yahweh.

¹³ Gird yourselves and lament, O priests! Wail, O ministers of the altar! Come spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God, because offering and libation are withheld from the house of your God.

¹⁴ Who knows whether he will turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, an offering and a libation, for Yahweh your God?

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

²⁹ It happened as noon passed, they raged until the time of the evening offering, but there was no voice, there was no answer, and no one paid attention.

³⁶ It happened at the offering of the evening oblation, Elijah the prophet went near, and he said, "O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that I have done all of these things by your words.

⁴ Then all who trembled at the words of the God of Israel because of the sin of the returned exiles were gathered around me and I sat appalled until the evening offering. ⁵ At the evening offering I got up from my mourning posture and, with my garment and robe torn, I fell down on my knees and I spread out my palms to Yahweh my God

² Let my prayer be set before you as incense, the lifting up of my palms as the evening offering.

²² And I will meet you there, and I will speak with you from over the atonement cover, from between the two cherubim that are to be on the ark of the testimony—all that I will command you to the _⌊Israelites_⌋.*

³⁴ And the cloud covered the tent of assembly, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle.

¹¹ The priests were not able to stand to minister _⌊because of the presence of_⌋* the cloud, for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh.

¹⁴ And the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of God.

¹ And when Solomon finished praying, then fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of Yahweh filled the house. ² And the priests were not able to go into the house of Yahweh, for the glory of Yahweh had filled the house. ³ When all the _⌊Israelites_⌋* saw the fire come down and the glory of Yahweh upon the house, they knelt down with their faces to the ground on the pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loyal love is everlasting.

¹ In the year of the death of Uzziah the king, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and raised throne, and the hem of his robe was filling the temple. ² Seraphs were standing above him. _⌊Each had six wings_⌋:* with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. ³ And the one called to the other and said,
"Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh of hosts! The _⌊whole earth is full of his glory_⌋."*

¹ "Arise, shine! For your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen on you.

⁵ And the Spirit lifted me and it brought me to the inner courtyard and, look! The glory of Yahweh filled the temple!

⁷ I will shake all the nations so that the treasure of all the nations will come, and I will fill this house* with glory,' says Yahweh of hosts. ⁸ 'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh of hosts. ⁹ 'The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,' says Yahweh of hosts, 'and in this place I will give peace' _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh of hosts.'"

¹ "Look! I am going to send my messenger,* and he will prepare* the way _⌊before me_⌋.* And the Lord whom you are seeking will come suddenly to his temple, and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you are taking pleasure—look!—he is about to come," says Yahweh of hosts.

¹⁸ And we all, with unveiled face, reflecting* the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory into glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

⁶ For God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness,"* is the one who has shined in our hearts for the enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.*

² Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever he is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is.

²² And I did not see a temple in it, for the Lord God All-Powerful is its temple, and the Lamb. ²³ And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon, that they shine on it, for the glory of God illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

¹⁵ And he shall not profane his offspring among his people, because I am Yahweh, who consecrates him.'"

⁹ " 'And they shall keep my obligation, and they shall not incur guilt because of it, so that* they die through it, because they have profaned it; I am Yahweh who consecrates them.

¹⁶ and so cause them, by their eating their votive offerings, to bear guilt requiring a guilt offering, because I am Yahweh, who consecrates them.'"

³⁶ do you say about he whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

¹⁷ You brought them and planted them on the mountain of your inheritance, a place you made for yourself to inhabit, Yahweh, a sanctuary, Lord, that your hands established.

⁸ And make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell in the midst of them,

¹² And I will walk about in your midst, and I shall be your God,* and you shall be my people.*

¹⁸ You have ascended on high; you have led away captives. You have received gifts from among humankind, and even from the rebellious, so that Yah* God may dwell there.

¹⁰ Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for look, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh.

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know him.* You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

²⁰ On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and _⌊will take up residence with him_⌋.*

¹⁶ And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said,
"I will live in* them and will walk about among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people."*

²² in whom you also are built up together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.*

³ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
"Behold, the dwelling of God is with humanity, and he will take up residence with them, and they will be his people and God himself will be with them.*

² "I am Yahweh, your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves.

⁴⁴ because I am Yahweh your God, and you must keep yourselves sanctified, so that* you shall be holy, because I am holy. And you must not make yourselves unclean with any swarmer that moves along on the land,

³⁰ Thus* you shall keep my obligation to not do any of the statutes _⌊regarding_⌋* the detestable things that they did _⌊before you_⌋,* so that you will not make yourselves unclean by them; I am Yahweh your God.'"

² "Speak to all the community of the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* and say to them, 'You* must be holy, because I, Yahweh your* God, am holy.

³³ "But this is the covenant that I will _⌊make_⌋* with the house of Israel after those days," _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh: "I will put my law in their inward parts and on their hearts* I will write it, and I will be to them God, and they themselves will be to me people.

⁵ And you must say to them, 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh: "On the day of my choosing Israel _⌊I swore_⌋* to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and I made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, and _⌊I swore_⌋* to them, _⌊saying_⌋,* 'I am Yahweh your God.'
