Daily Bible Reading Experience.
Day 100 and 14
call for your brother Aaron and his sons
Naab, Abba Zer and eMAR Set them apart
from the rest of the people of Israel, so
they may minister to me and be my priests.
Make sacred garments for Aaron
that are glorious and beautiful.
Instruct all the skilled craftsmen whom
I have filled with the spirit of wisdom.
Have them make garments for Aaron
that will distinguish him as a
priest set apart for my service.
These are the garments they are to make.
A chest piece, an ephod, a robe, a
pattern tunic, a turban and a sash.
They're to make these sacred garments
for your brother Aaron and his sons
to wear when they serve me as priests.
So give them fine linen
cloth, gold thread, and blue,
purple and scarlet thread.
The craftsmen must make the ephod
of finely woven linen and skillfully
embroider it with gold and with
blue, purple, and scarlet thread,
it will consist of two pieces
front and back, joined at the
shoulders with two shoulder pieces.
The decorative sash will be
made of the same materials.
Finally woven linen embroidered with gold
and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread.
Take two Onyx stones and engrave on them.
The names of the tribes of Israel,
six names will be on each stone
arranged in the order of the births
of the original Sons of Israel.
Engrave these names on the two
stones in the same way a jeweler
engraves a seal, then mount the
stones in settings of gold filigree.
Fasten the two stones on the shoulder
pieces of the od as a reminder that
Aaron represents the people of Israel.
Aaron will carry these names on his
shoulders as a constant reminder
whenever he goes before the Lord
make the settings of gold fill,
agree, then braid two cords of pure
gold and attach them to the filigree
settings on the shoulders of the e o.
Then with great skill and care,
make a chest piece to be worn
for seeking a decision from God.
Make it to match the ephod using finely
woven linen, embroidered with gold
and with blue, purple, and scarlet
thread, make the chest piece of a single
piece of cloth folded to form a pouch.
Nine inches square mount
four rows of gemstones on it.
The first row will contain
a red cornelian, a pal green
parado, and an emerald.
The second row will contain a turquoise, a
blue lapis, lasley, and a white moonstone.
The third row will contain an orange
jth, an agate, and a purple amethyst.
The fourth row will contain a blue green
barrel, an onyx, and a green jasper.
All these stones will
be set in gold filigree.
Each stone will represent one of the
12 sons of Israel, and the name of that
tribe will be engraved on it like a seal.
To attach the chess piece to the ephod,
make braided cords of pure gold thread,
then make two gold rings and attached them
to the top corners of the chess piece.
Tie the two gold cords to the
two rings on the chess piece.
Tie the other ends of the cords
to the gold settings on the
shoulder pieces of the ephod.
Then make two more gold rings and
attach them to the inside edges of
the chess piece next to the ephod.
And make two more gold rings and
attach them to the front of the
ephod below the shoulder pieces just
above the knot where the decorative
sash is fastened to the E O D.
Then attach the bottom rings
of the chess piece to the rings
on the OD with blue cords.
This will hold the chess piece securely
to the OD above the decorative sash.
In this way, Aaron will carry the
names of the tribes of Israel on the
sacred chess piece over his heart.
When he goes into the holy place,
this will be a continual reminder
that he represents the people
when he comes before the Lord.
Insert the rum and the thumbing into
the sacred chest piece so they will
be carried over Aaron's heart when
he goes into the Lord's presence.
In this way, Aaron will
always carry over his heart.
The objects used to determine
the Lord's will for his people
whenever he goes in before the Lord.
Make the robe that is worn with
the e o from a single piece of
blue cloth with an opening for
Aaron's head in the middle of it.
Reinforce the opening with a
woven collar so it will not tear.
Make pomegranates out of blue, purple, and
scarlet yarn and attach them to the hymn
of the robe with gold bells between them.
The gold bells and pomegranates are
to alternate all around the hymn.
Aaron will wear this robe whenever he
ministers before the Lord and the bells
will tinkle as he goes in and out of
the Lord's presence in the holy place.
If he wears it, he will not die.
Next, make a medallion of pure
gold and engrave it like a seal
with these words, holy to the Lord.
Attach the medallion with a blue
cord to the front of Aaron's
turban where it must remain.
Aaron must wear it on his forehead
so he may take on himself any guilt
of the people of Israel when they
consecrate their sacred offerings.
He must always wear it on his forehead,
so the Lord will accept the people.
Weave Aaron's pattern tunic from
fine linen cloth, fashion the
turban from this linen as well.
Also make a sash and decorate
it with colorful embroidery.
For Aaron's sons.
Make tunics, sashes and special head
coverings that are glorious and beautiful.
Clothe your brother Aaron and
his sons with these garments,
and then anoint and ordain them.
Consecrate them so they can serve.
As my priests also make linen
undergarments for them to be worn
next to their bodies, reaching
from their hips to their thighs.
These must be worn.
Whenever Aaron and his sons enter
the tabernacle or approach the
altar in the holy place to perform
their priestly duties, then they
will not incur guilt and die.
This is a permanent law for Aaron
and all his descendants after him.
This is the ceremony you must
follow when you consecrate Aaron
and his sons to serve me as priests.
Take a young bull and
two rams with no defects.
Then using choice, wheat
flour and no yeast.
Make loaves of bread.
Then cakes mixed with olive
oil and wafers spread with oil.
Place them all in a single basket
and present them at the entrance of
the tabernacle, along with the young
bull and the two rams present Aaron
and his sons at the entrance of the
tabernacle and wash them with water
dress Aaron in his priestly garments.
The tunic, the robe worn with the e o,
the ephod itself and the chess piece.
Then wrapped the decorative
sash of the e o around him.
Place the turbine on his head and fasten
the sacred medallion to the turbine.
Then anoint him by pouring the
anointing oil over his head.
Next, present his sons and
dress them in their tunics.
Wrap the sashes around the waist
of Aaron and his sons and put their
special head coverings on them.
Then the right to the priesthood
will be theirs by law forever.
In this way, you will
ordain Aaron and his sons.
Bring the young bull to the entrance
of the tabernacle where Aaron and his
sons will lay their hands on its head.
Then slaughter the bull in
the Lord's presence at the
entrance of the tabernacle.
Put some of its blood on the horns of
the altar with your finger and pour
out the rest at the base of the altar.
Take all the fat around the internal
organs, the long lobe of the liver,
and the two kidneys and the fat around
them, and burn it all on the altar.
Then take the rest of the bull, including
its hide meat and dung, and burn it
outside the camp as a sin offering.
Next, Aaron and his sons must lay their
hands on the head of one of the rams,
then slaughter the ram and splatter its
blood against all sides of the altar.
Cut the ram into pieces and wash
off the internal organs and the
legs, set them alongside the head
and the other pieces of the body.
Then burn the entire animal on the altar.
This is a burnt offering to the Lord.
It is a pleasing aroma, a special
gift presented to the Lord.
Now take the other ram and have Aaron
and his sons lay their hands on its
head, then slaughter it and apply
some of its blood to the right ear.
LOEs of Aaron and his sons also put
it on the thumbs of their right hands
and the big toes of their right feet.
Splatter the rest of the blood
against all sides of the altar.
Then take some of the blood from
the altar and some of the anointing
oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and
his sons and on their garments.
In this way, they and their
garments will be set apart as holy.
Since this is the ram for the ordination
of Aaron and his sons, take the fat
of the ram, including the fat of the
broad tail, the fat around the internal
organs, the long lobe of the liver,
and the two kidneys, and the fat around
them, along with the right thigh.
Then take one round loaf of bread,
one thin cake mixed with olive
oil and one wafer from the basket
of bread without yeast that was
placed in the Lord's presence.
Put all these in the hands of Aaron
and his sons to be lifted up as
a special offering to the Lord.
Afterward, take the various breads
from their hands and burn them on the
altar along with the burnt offering.
It is a pleasing aroma to the
Lord, a special gift for him.
Then take the breast of Aaron's ordination
Ram and lift it up in the Lord's
presence as a special offering to him.
Then keep it as your own portion.
Set aside the portions of the ordination
ram that belonged to Aaron and his sons.
This includes the breast and the thigh
that were lifted up before the Lord as a
special offering in the future, whenever
the people of Israel lift up a peace
offering, a portion of it must be set
aside for Aaron and his descendants.
This is their permanent right and
it is a sacred offering From the
Israelites to the Lord, Aaron's
sacred garments must be preserved
for his descendants who succeed him.
They will wear them when they
are anointed and ordained.
The descendant who succeeds him as
high priest will wear these clothes
for seven days as he ministers in
the tabernacle and the holy place.
Take the ram used in the
ordination ceremony and boil
its meat in a sacred place.
Then Aaron and his sons will eat
this meat along with the bread in the
basket at the Tabernacle entrance.
They alone may eat the meat and
bread used for their purification
in the ordination ceremony.
No one else may eat them.
For these things are set apart and holy.
If any of the ordination, meat
or bread remains until the
morning, it must be burned.
It may not be eaten for.
It is holy.
This is how you will ordain Aaron
and his sons to their offices
just as I have commanded you.
The ordination ceremony will
go on for seven days each day.
You must sacrifice a young bull
as a sin offering to purify them,
making them right with the Lord.
Afterward, cleanse the altar by purifying
it, make it holy by anointing it with oil.
Purify the altar and consecrate
it every day for seven days.
After that, the altar will be
absolutely holy and whatever
touches it will become holy.
These are the sacrifices you are
to offer regularly on the altar.
Each day, offer two lambs that
are a year old, one in the morning
and the other in the evening.
With one of them, offer two quarts
of choice flour mixed with one
quart of pure oil of pressed olives.
Also, offer one quart of
wine as a liquid offering.
Offer the other lamb in the evening
along with the same offerings of
flour and wine, as in the morning,
it will be a pleasing aroma, a
special gift presented to the Lord.
These burned offerings are to be made
each day from generation to generation.
Offer them in the Lord's presence
at the tabernacle entrance.
There I will meet with
you and speak with you.
I will meet the people of
Israel there in the place made
holy by my glorious presence.
Yes, I will consecrate the tabernacle
and the altar and I will consecrate Aaron
and his sons to serve me as priests.
Then I will live among the people of
Israel and be their God, and they will
know that I am the Lord their God.
I am the one who brought them
out of the land of Egypt so
that I could live among them.
I am the Lord their God.
