00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,800
Hello, this is Father Paul and I'm glad we're taking this journey together to read the Bible

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,440
in a year.

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,680
Yesterday we heard about the design of the tabernacle, the materials, the design, the

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,600
setup, and how Moses was to set all this up.

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,880
And today we're going to hear about Aaron's priesthood and about his garments and how

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,080
they are to be consecrated, Aaron and his sons, as well as the sacrifices he is to offer.

7
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:26,920
Alright, let's begin.

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,760
Today's reading is from Exodus chapters 28, 29, and 30.

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,760
Chapter 28.

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,000
Now take Aaron your brother and his sons with him from among the children of Israel that

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,800
he may minister to me as priest, Aaron and Aaron's sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eliezer, and

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,940
Ethamar.

13
00:00:44,940 --> 00:00:49,600
And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,440
So you shall speak to all who are gifted artisans, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:01:00,040
that they may make Aaron's garments, to consecrate him that he may minister to me as priest.

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,880
And these are the garments which they shall make, a breastplate, an ephod, a robe, a skillfully

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,400
woven tunic, a turban, and a sash.

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,740
So they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons that he may minister

19
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:15,320
to me as priest.

20
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:20,120
They shall take the gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread and the fine linen, and they

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:26,960
shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread and fine woven linen artistically

22
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:27,960
worked.

23
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:33,600
It shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together.

24
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,360
And the intricately woven band of the ephod which is on it shall be of the same workmanship,

25
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,640
made of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread and fine woven linen.

26
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,800
Then you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel, six

27
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:55,640
of their names on one stone and six names on the other stone, in order of their birth,

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,920
with the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet.

29
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,400
You shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel.

30
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,380
You shall set them in settings of gold, and you shall put the two stones on the shoulders

31
00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:11,000
of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel.

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,680
So Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders as a memorial.

33
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,000
You shall also make settings of gold, and you shall make two chains of pure gold, like

34
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the settings.

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,040
You shall make the breastplate of judgment, artistically woven according to the workmanship

36
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,980
of the ephod you shall make it.

37
00:02:29,980 --> 00:02:35,280
Of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen you shall make it.

38
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,480
It shall be doubled into a square, a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its

39
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,480
width.

40
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,080
And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones.

41
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,040
The first row shall be a sardis, a topaz, and an emerald.

42
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,600
This shall be the first row.

43
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,800
The second row shall be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond.

44
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,940
The third row a jasinth, an agate, and an amethyst.

45
00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:03,600
The fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper.

46
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,640
They shall be set in gold settings, and the stones shall have the names of the sons of

47
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:08,640
Israel.

48
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:12,200
Twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet.

49
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,440
Each one with its own name, they shall be according to the twelve tribes.

50
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,960
You shall make chains for the breastplate at the end, like braided cords of pure gold.

51
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,480
And you shall make two rings of gold for the breastplate, and put the two rings on the

52
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,480
two ends of the breastplate.

53
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,160
Then you shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings which are on the

54
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,080
ends of the breastplate.

55
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,060
And the other two ends of the two braided chains you shall fasten to the two settings,

56
00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:41,940
and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front.

57
00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:46,160
You shall make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on

58
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,820
the edge of it, which is on the inner side of the ephod.

59
00:03:49,820 --> 00:03:54,520
And two other rings of gold you shall make, and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath

60
00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:01,240
the ephod toward its front, right on the seam above the intricately woven band of the ephod.

61
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,680
They shall bind the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod using

62
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,500
a blue cord, so that it is above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate

63
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:13,960
does not come loose from the ephod.

64
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,040
So Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment over

65
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:23,160
his heart, when he goes into the holy place as a memorial before the Lord continually.

66
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,160
And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and Tumim, and they shall be over

67
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Aaron's heart when he goes in before the Lord.

68
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,740
So Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually.

69
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:39,480
You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

70
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,480
There shall be an opening for his head in the middle of it.

71
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,560
It shall have a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a coat of mail,

72
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,780
so that it does not tear.

73
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:54,800
And upon its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, all around its

74
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,400
hem, and bells of gold between them all around, a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden

75
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,760
bell and a pomegranate upon the hem of the robe all around.

76
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,880
And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he goes into

77
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,200
the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out that he may not die.

78
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,680
You shall also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it like the engraving of a signet,

79
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,720
holiness to the Lord.

80
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,600
And you shall put it on a blue cord, that may be on the turban.

81
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,320
It shall be on the front of the turban, so it shall be on Aaron's forehead, that Aaron

82
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,360
may bear the iniquity of the holy things which the children of Israel hallow in all their

83
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,360
holy gifts.

84
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,120
And it shall always be on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord.

85
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,360
You shall skillfully weave the tunic of fine linen thread.

86
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,920
You shall make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the sash of woven work.

87
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,080
For Aaron's sons you shall make tunics, and you shall make sashes for them, and you shall

88
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,320
make hats for them for glory and beauty.

89
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,080
So you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him.

90
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,480
You shall anoint them, consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me

91
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,900
as priests.

92
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:09,520
And you shall make for them linen trousers to cover their nakedness.

93
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,140
They shall reach from the waist to the thighs.

94
00:06:12,140 --> 00:06:16,480
They shall be on Aaron and on his sons, when they come into the tabernacle of meeting,

95
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,800
and when they come near the altar to minister in the holy place, that they do not incur

96
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,580
iniquity and die.

97
00:06:22,580 --> 00:06:27,400
It shall be a statute forever to him and his descendants after him.

98
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,720
Chapter 29

99
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,340
And this is what you shall do to them, to hallow them for ministering to me as priests.

100
00:06:33,340 --> 00:06:38,800
Take one young bull and two rams without blemish, and unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed

101
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,320
with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

102
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,780
You shall make them of wheat flour.

103
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:48,640
You shall put them in one basket and bring them in the basket, and the bull and the two

104
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,940
rams.

105
00:06:49,940 --> 00:06:53,840
And Aaron and his sons you shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and

106
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:55,680
you shall wash them with water.

107
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,280
Then you shall take the garments, put the tunic on Aaron, and the robe of the ephod,

108
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:05,640
the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the intricately woven band of the ephod.

109
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,720
You shall put the turban on his head and put the holy crown on the turban.

110
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,020
And you shall take the anointing oil, pour it on his head and anoint him.

111
00:07:14,020 --> 00:07:18,920
Then you shall bring his sons and put tunics on them, and you shall gird them with sashes,

112
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,380
Aaron and his sons, and put the hats on them.

113
00:07:21,380 --> 00:07:25,000
The priesthood shall be theirs for a perpetual statute.

114
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,820
So you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

115
00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:31,840
You shall also have the bull brought before the tabernacle of meeting, and Aaron and his

116
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,200
sons shall put their hands on the head of the bull.

117
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,400
Then you shall kill the bull before the Lord by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

118
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,040
You shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with

119
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,700
your finger, and pour all the blood beside the base of the altar.

120
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:50,600
And you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the

121
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,600
liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

122
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,200
But the flesh of the bull, with its skin and its offal, you shall burn with fire outside

123
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,200
the camp.

124
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,800
It is a sin offering.

125
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,000
You shall also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head

126
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,000
of the ram.

127
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,040
And you shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood and sprinkle it all around

128
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,400
on the altar.

129
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,460
Then you shall cut the ram in pieces, wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with

130
00:08:18,460 --> 00:08:20,960
its pieces and with its head.

131
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,220
And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar.

132
00:08:23,220 --> 00:08:25,640
It is a burnt offering to the Lord.

133
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,780
It is a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

134
00:08:29,780 --> 00:08:34,040
You shall also take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the

135
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,240
head of the ram.

136
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,840
Then you shall kill the ram and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the

137
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,560
right ear of Aaron and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, on the thumb of the right

138
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:49,560
hand and on the big toe of the right foot, and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar.

139
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,920
And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing

140
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:58,080
oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, on his sons and on the garments of his sons

141
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,160
with him.

142
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:04,240
And he and his garments shall be hallowed, and his sons and his sons garments with him.

143
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,560
Also you shall take the fat of the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails,

144
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:13,680
the fatty lobe attached to the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, the right

145
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:18,880
thigh, for it is a ram of consecration, one loaf of bread, one cake made with oil, and

146
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,800
one wafer from the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord.

147
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,000
And you shall put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons.

148
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,160
And you shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord.

149
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,700
You shall receive them back from their hands and burn them on the altar as a burnt offering.

150
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:39,640
As a sweet aroma before the Lord, it is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

151
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,360
Then you shall take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration and wave it as a

152
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,840
wave offering before the Lord, and it shall be your portion.

153
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,080
And from the ram of the consecration you shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering

154
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,980
which is waived, and the thigh of the heave offering which is raised, of that which is

155
00:09:55,980 --> 00:09:59,300
for Aaron and of that which is for his sons.

156
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:04,020
It shall be from the children of Israel for Aaron and his sons by a statute forever.

157
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:05,500
For it is a heave offering.

158
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:10,100
It shall be a heave offering from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace

159
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:14,080
offerings, that is their heave offering to the Lord.

160
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,560
And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons after him, to be anointed in them and

161
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:20,200
to be consecrated in them.

162
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,260
That son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on for seven days when he enters

163
00:10:25,260 --> 00:10:29,200
the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the holy place.

164
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,580
And you shall take the ram of the consecration and boil its flesh in the holy place.

165
00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:38,020
Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket

166
00:10:38,020 --> 00:10:40,460
by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

167
00:10:40,460 --> 00:10:45,520
They shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify

168
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,520
them.

169
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,000
But an outsider shall not eat them because they are holy.

170
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,780
And if any of the flesh of the consecration offerings or of the bread remains until morning,

171
00:10:54,780 --> 00:10:56,680
then you shall burn the remainder with fire.

172
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,700
It shall not be eaten because it is holy.

173
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:04,060
Thus you shall do to Aaron and his sons according to all that I have commanded you.

174
00:11:04,060 --> 00:11:06,100
Seven days you shall consecrate them.

175
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:10,100
And you shall offer a bowl every day as a sin offering for atonement.

176
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:13,060
You shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it.

177
00:11:13,060 --> 00:11:15,300
And you shall anoint it to sanctify it.

178
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:18,640
Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and sanctify it.

179
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,980
And the altar shall be most holy.

180
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:23,940
Whatever touches the altar must be holy.

181
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:26,580
Now this is what you shall offer on the altar.

182
00:11:26,580 --> 00:11:28,600
Two lambs of the first year.

183
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,380
Day by day continually.

184
00:11:30,380 --> 00:11:34,820
One lamb you shall offer in the morning and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight.

185
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:39,940
With the one lamb shall be one tenth of a nephah of flour mixed with one fourth of a

186
00:11:39,940 --> 00:11:44,940
hin of pressed oil and one fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering.

187
00:11:44,940 --> 00:11:49,620
And the other lamb you shall offer at twilight and you shall offer with it the grain offering

188
00:11:49,620 --> 00:11:54,580
and the drink offering as in the morning for a sweet aroma and offering made by fire to

189
00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:55,580
the Lord.

190
00:11:55,580 --> 00:12:00,460
This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle

191
00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:04,760
of meeting before the Lord where I will meet with you to speak with you.

192
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,820
And there I will meet with the children of Israel and the tabernacle shall be sanctified

193
00:12:08,820 --> 00:12:10,340
by my glory.

194
00:12:10,340 --> 00:12:12,940
So I will consecrate the tabernacle of meeting and the altar.

195
00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:17,420
I will also consecrate both Aaron and his sons to minister to me as priests.

196
00:12:17,420 --> 00:12:20,880
I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God.

197
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,660
And they shall know that I am the Lord their God who brought them up out of the land of

198
00:12:25,660 --> 00:12:27,980
Egypt that I may dwell among them.

199
00:12:27,980 --> 00:12:30,620
I am the Lord their God.

200
00:12:30,620 --> 00:12:34,220
Chapter 30 You shall make an altar to burn incense on.

201
00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:36,180
You shall make it of acacia wood.

202
00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:39,120
A cubit shall be its length and a cubit its width.

203
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,500
It shall be square.

204
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,460
And two cubits shall be its height.

205
00:12:42,460 --> 00:12:44,360
Its horns shall be of one piece with it.

206
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:50,400
And you shall overlay its top, its sides all around and its horns with pure gold.

207
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,660
And you shall make for it a molding of gold all around.

208
00:12:53,660 --> 00:12:58,560
Two gold rings you shall make for it under the molding on both its sides.

209
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:03,900
You shall place them on its two sides and there will be holders for the poles with which

210
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:05,220
to bear it.

211
00:13:05,220 --> 00:13:08,460
You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

212
00:13:08,460 --> 00:13:12,300
And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the testimony, before

213
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:16,980
the mercy seed that is over the testimony where I will meet with you.

214
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:20,140
Aaron shall burn on its wheat incense every morning.

215
00:13:20,140 --> 00:13:23,660
When he tends the lamps he shall burn incense on it.

216
00:13:23,660 --> 00:13:28,620
And when Aaron lights the lamps at twilight he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense

217
00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:30,900
before the Lord throughout your generations.

218
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:35,540
You shall not offer strange incense on it or a burnt offering or a grain offering, nor

219
00:13:35,540 --> 00:13:38,020
shall you pour a drink offering on it.

220
00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:43,380
And Aaron shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering

221
00:13:43,380 --> 00:13:44,860
of atonement.

222
00:13:44,860 --> 00:13:48,340
Once a year he shall make atonement upon it throughout your generations.

223
00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:50,420
It is most holy to the Lord.

224
00:13:50,420 --> 00:13:54,340
Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying, When you take the census of the children of Israel

225
00:13:54,340 --> 00:13:58,780
for their number, then every man shall give a ransom for himself to the Lord when you

226
00:13:58,780 --> 00:14:02,860
number them, that there may be no plague among you when you number them.

227
00:14:02,860 --> 00:14:07,820
This is what everyone among those who are numbered shall give, half a shekel according

228
00:14:07,820 --> 00:14:09,680
to the shekel of the sanctuary.

229
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:12,800
The half shekel shall be an offering to the Lord.

230
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,180
Everyone included among those who are numbered from twenty years old and above shall give

231
00:14:17,180 --> 00:14:18,780
an offering to the Lord.

232
00:14:18,780 --> 00:14:23,180
The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel when

233
00:14:23,180 --> 00:14:26,460
you give an offering to the Lord to make atonement for yourselves.

234
00:14:26,460 --> 00:14:30,220
And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel and shall appoint it

235
00:14:30,220 --> 00:14:34,740
for the service of the tabernacle of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the children

236
00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:38,700
of Israel before the Lord to make atonement for yourselves.

237
00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:43,220
Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying, You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base

238
00:14:43,220 --> 00:14:44,860
also of bronze, for washing.

239
00:14:44,860 --> 00:14:48,300
You shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar.

240
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:52,260
And you shall put water in it, for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their

241
00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:54,420
feet in water from it.

242
00:14:54,420 --> 00:14:59,060
When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister,

243
00:14:59,060 --> 00:15:05,140
to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die.

244
00:15:05,140 --> 00:15:08,180
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die.

245
00:15:08,180 --> 00:15:12,740
And it shall be a statute forever to them, to him and his descendants throughout their

246
00:15:12,740 --> 00:15:13,740
generations.

247
00:15:13,740 --> 00:15:19,060
Moreover, the Lord spoke to Moses saying, Also take for yourself quality spices, five

248
00:15:19,060 --> 00:15:24,820
hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet smelling cinnamon, two hundred and fifty

249
00:15:24,820 --> 00:15:30,140
shekels of sweet smelling cane, five hundred shekels of kaisha, according to the shekel

250
00:15:30,140 --> 00:15:32,820
of the sanctuary, and a hen of olive oil.

251
00:15:32,820 --> 00:15:37,660
And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the

252
00:15:37,660 --> 00:15:39,340
art of the perfumer.

253
00:15:39,340 --> 00:15:41,420
It shall be a holy anointing oil.

254
00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:45,660
With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the testimony, the

255
00:15:45,660 --> 00:15:51,020
table and all its utensils, the lambstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense, the

256
00:15:51,020 --> 00:15:55,840
altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base.

257
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,860
You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy.

258
00:15:58,860 --> 00:16:01,060
Whatever touches them must be holy.

259
00:16:01,060 --> 00:16:04,780
And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them, that they may minister to

260
00:16:04,780 --> 00:16:06,740
me as priests.

261
00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:10,860
And you shall speak to the children of Israel saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil

262
00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:13,060
to me throughout your generations.

263
00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:17,640
It shall not be poured on man's flesh, nor shall you make any other like it, according

264
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,860
to its composition.

265
00:16:18,860 --> 00:16:21,220
It is holy and it shall be holy to you.

266
00:16:21,220 --> 00:16:26,260
Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off

267
00:16:26,260 --> 00:16:27,260
from his people.

268
00:16:27,260 --> 00:16:34,340
And the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices, stacti and onycha and galbanum, and pure frankincense

269
00:16:34,340 --> 00:16:36,220
with these sweet spices.

270
00:16:36,220 --> 00:16:38,580
There shall be equal amounts of each.

271
00:16:38,580 --> 00:16:43,780
You shall make of these an incense, a compound according to the art of the perfumer, salted,

272
00:16:43,780 --> 00:16:45,540
pure and holy.

273
00:16:45,540 --> 00:16:50,520
And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the testimony in a tabernacle

274
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,940
of meeting, where I will meet with you.

275
00:16:52,940 --> 00:16:54,780
It shall be most holy to you.

276
00:16:54,780 --> 00:17:00,080
But as for the incense, which you shall make, you shall not make any for yourselves, according

277
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,500
to its composition.

278
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:03,940
It shall be to you holy for the Lord.

279
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:13,420
Whoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.

280
00:17:13,420 --> 00:17:17,020
I hope you enjoyed today's reading as much as I did, and I look forward to seeing you

281
00:17:17,020 --> 00:17:19,380
again tomorrow to continue on our journey.

282
00:17:19,380 --> 00:17:35,020
God bless you and have a great day.
