Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Every high priest is chosen from among the people. He is appointed to act for the people. He acts for them in whatever has to do with God. He offers gifts and sacrifices for their sins.

For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Every high priest is a man chosen to represent other people in their dealings with God. He presents their gifts to God and offers sacrifices for their sins.

For every high priest taken from among men is appointed in matters pertaining to God for the people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of people in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things[ pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

For every high priest is taken from among the people and appointed to represent them before God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore it was necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins.

This is a symbol for the present time, during which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshiper’s conscience.

Therefore, He had to be like His brothers in every way, so that He could become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

He doesn’t need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do— first for their own sins, then for those of the people. He did this once for all when He offered Himself.

By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was approved as a righteous man, because God approved his gifts, and even though he is dead, he still speaks through his faith.

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

Aaron presented the people’s offering. He took the male goat for the people’s sin offering, slaughtered it, and made a sin offering with it as he did before.He presented the burnt offering and sacrificed it according to the regulation.Next he presented the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning burnt offering.Finally, he slaughtered the ox and the ram as the people’s fellowship sacrifice. Aaron’s sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on all sides of the altar.They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram— the fat tail, the fat surrounding the entrails, the kidneys, and the fatty lobe of the liver—and placed these on the breasts. Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar,but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a presentation offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.

“ Have your brother Aaron, with his sons, come to you from the Israelites to serve Me as priest— Aaron, his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, for glory and beauty.You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make Aaron’s garments for consecrating him to serve Me as priest.These are the garments that they must make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a specially woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. 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.

“ This is what you are to do for them to consecrate them to serve Me as priests. Take a young bull and two unblemished rams,with unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers coated with oil. Make them out of fine wheat flour,put them in a basket, and bring them in the basket, along with the bull and two rams.Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water.Then take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe for the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastpiece; fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband.Put the turban on his head and place the holy diadem on the turban.Take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him.You must also bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.Tie the sashes on Aaron and his sons and fasten headbands on them. The priesthood is to be theirs by a permanent statute. This is the way you will ordain Aaron and his sons.“ You are to bring the bull to the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the bull’s head.Slaughter the bull before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.Take some of the bull’s blood and apply it to the horns of the altar with your finger; then pour out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.Take all the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.But burn up the bull’s flesh, its hide, and its dung outside the camp; it is a sin offering.“ Take one ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the ram’s head.You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar.Cut the ram into pieces. Wash its entrails and shanks, and place them with its head and its pieces on the altar.Then burn the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord.“ You are to take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the ram’s head.Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on his sons’ right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Sprinkle the remaining blood on all sides of the altar.Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. In this way, he and his garments will become holy, as well as his sons and their garments.“ Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, and the right thigh( since this is a ram for ordination);take one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord;and put all of them in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them as a presentation offering before the Lord.Take them from their hands and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma before the Lord; it is a fire offering to the Lord.“ Take the breast from the ram of Aaron’s ordination and wave it as a presentation offering before the Lord; it is to be your portion.Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the presentation offering that is waved and the thigh of the contribution that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites, for it is a contribution. It will be the Israelites’ contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, their contribution to the Lord.“ The holy garments that belong to Aaron are to belong to his sons after him, so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.Any priest who is one of his sons and who succeeds him and enters the tent of meeting to minister in the sanctuary must wear them for seven days.“ You are to take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place.Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket at the entrance to the tent of meeting.They must eat those things by which atonement was made at the time of their ordination and consecration. An unauthorized person must not eat them, for these things are holy.If any of the meat of ordination or any of the bread is left until morning, burn up what is left over. It must not be eaten because it is holy.“ This is what you are to do for Aaron and his sons based on all I have commanded you. 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.

The Lord said to Aaron,“ You, your sons, and your ancestral house will be responsible for sin against the sanctuary. You and your sons will be responsible for sin involving your priesthood.But also bring your relatives with you from the tribe of Levi, your ancestral tribe, so they may join you and assist you and your sons in front of the tent of the testimony.They are to perform duties for you and for the whole tent. They must not come near the sanctuary equipment or the altar; otherwise, both they and you will die.

Then Moses said to Aaron,“ Approach the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering; make atonement for yourself and the people. Sacrifice the people’s offering and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded.”

Then Moses told Aaron,“ Take your firepan, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the community and make atonement for them, because wrath has come from the Lord; the plague has begun.”So Aaron took his firepan as Moses had ordered, ran into the middle of the assembly, and saw that the plague had begun among the people. After he added incense, he made atonement for the people.He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was halted.
