Exodus 38

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ Moses killed it and took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

² He also brought Aaron's sons forward and put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the big toes of their right feet; and Moses sprinkled the rest of the blood around on the altar.

³ He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh;

⁴ and from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer and put them on the fat and on the right thigh;

⁵ and he put all these things in Aaron's hands and his sons' hands and presented them as a wave offering before the LORD.

⁶ Then Moses took these things from their hands and offered them up in smoke on the altar with the burnt offering. They were a consecration (ordination) offering for a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

⁷ Moses also took the breast and presented it as a wave offering before the LORD; it was Moses' portion of the ram of consecration (ordination), just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

⁸ So Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his garments, and also on his sons and their garments with him; so Moses consecrated Aaron and his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

⁹ Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the meat at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting and eat it there together with the bread that is in the basket of the consecration (ordination) offering, just as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'

¹⁰ And what remains of the meat and of the bread you shall burn in the fire.

¹¹ You shall not go outside the doorway of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration (ordination) are ended; for it will take seven days to consecrate you.

¹² As has been done this day, so the LORD has commanded to do for your atonement.

¹³ You shall remain day and night for seven days at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, doing what the Lord has required you to do, so that you will not die; for so I (Moses) have been commanded."

¹⁴ So Aaron and his sons did all the things which the LORD had commanded through Moses.

¹⁵ And it happened on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel;

¹⁶ and he said to Aaron, "Take a bull calf as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, [each] without blemish, and offer both before the LORD.

¹⁷ Then say to the Israelites, 'Take a male goat as a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both one year old, without blemish, as a burnt offering,

¹⁸ and a bull and a ram as peace offerings to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with [olive] oil, for today the LORD will appear to you.'"

¹⁹ So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and all the congregation approached and stood before the LORD.

²⁰ Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the LORD may appear to you."

²¹ Moses said to Aaron, "Approach the altar and present your sin offering and your burnt offering and make atonement for yourself and for the people; and present the offering of the people and make atonement for them, just as the LORD has commanded."

²² So Aaron approached the altar and killed the calf as the sin offering, which was designated for himself.

²³ The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; he dipped his finger in the blood and put some of it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the rest of the blood at the altar's base;

²⁴ but the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering he offered up in smoke on the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²⁵ And Aaron burned the meat and the hide in the fire outside the camp.

²⁶ Then he killed the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons handed the blood to him and he sprinkled it around on the altar.

²⁷ They brought the burnt offering to him piece by piece, with the head, and Aaron offered them up in smoke on the altar.

²⁸ He also washed the entrails and the legs, and offered them up in smoke with the burnt offering on the altar.

²⁹ Then Aaron presented the people's offering. He took the goat for the sin offering of the people, and killed it and offered it for sin, as he did the first.

³⁰ He also presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.

³¹ Next Aaron presented the grain offering and took a handful of it and offered it up in smoke on the altar in addition to the burnt offering of the morning.
