I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but an unauthorized person who comes near the sanctuary will be put to death.”Then the Lord spoke to Aaron,“ Look, I have put you in charge of the contributions brought to Me.

They are to make holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons so that they may serve Me as priests.They should use gold; blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; and fine linen.“ They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.It must have two shoulder pieces attached to its two edges so that it can be joined together.The artistically woven waistband that is on the ephod must be of one piece, according to the same workmanship of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen.“ Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of Israel’s sons:six of their names on the first stone and the remaining six names on the second stone, in the order of their birth.Engrave the two stones with the names of Israel’s sons as a gem cutter engraves a seal. Mount them, surrounded with gold filigree settings.Fasten both stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the Israelites. Aaron will carry their names on his two shoulders before the Lord as a reminder.Fashion gold filigree settingsand two chains of pure gold; you will make them of braided cord work, and attach the cord chains to the settings.

They rushed him out of there. He himself also hurried to get out because the Lord had afflicted him.So King Uzziah was diseased to the time of his death.

Take seven days to ordain them.Sacrifice a bull as a sin offering each day for atonement. Purify the altar when you make atonement for it, and anoint it in order to consecrate it.For seven days you must make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. The altar will become especially holy; whatever touches the altar will become holy.

“ When Aaron presents the bull for his sin offering and makes atonement for himself and his household, he will slaughter the bull for his sin offering.Then he must take a firepan full of fiery coals from the altar before the Lord and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense, and bring them inside the veil.He is to put the incense on the fire before the Lord, so that the cloud of incense covers the mercy seat that is over the testimony, or else he will die.He is to take some of the bull’s blood and sprinkle it with his finger against the east side of the mercy seat; then he will sprinkle some of the blood with his finger before the mercy seat seven times.“ When he slaughters the male goat for the people’s sin offering and brings its blood inside the veil, he must do the same with its blood as he did with the bull’s blood: he is to sprinkle it against the mercy seat and in front of it.He will purify the most holy place in this way for all their sins because of the Israelites’ impurities and rebellious acts. He will do the same for the tent of meeting that remains among them, because it is surrounded by their impurities.No one may be in the tent of meeting from the time he enters to make atonement in the most holy place until he leaves after he has made atonement for himself, his household, and the whole assembly of Israel.Then he will go out to the altar that is before the Lord and make atonement for it. He is to take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on the horns on all sides of the altar.He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse and set it apart from the Israelites’ impurities.
