¹ 主はまたモーセに言われた、

² 「イスラエルの人々に言いなさい、『もし人があやまって罪を犯し、主のいましめにそむいて、してはならないことの一つをした時は次のようにしなければならない。

³ すなわち、油注がれた祭司が罪を犯して、とがを民に及ぼすならば、彼はその犯した罪のために雄の全き子牛を罪祭として主にささげなければならない。

⁴ その子牛を会見の幕屋の入口に連れてきて主の前に至り、その子牛の頭に手を置き、その子牛を主の前で、ほふらなければならない。

⁵ 油注がれた祭司は、その子牛の血を取って、それを会見の幕屋に携え入り、

⁶ そして祭司は指をその血に浸して、聖所の垂幕の前で主の前にその血を七たび注がなければならない。

⁷ 祭司はまたその血を取り、主の前で会見の幕屋の中にある香ばしい薫香の祭壇の角に、それを塗らなければならない。その子牛の血の残りはことごとく会見の幕屋の入口にある燔祭の祭壇のもとに注がなければならない。

⁸ またその罪祭の子牛から、すべての脂肪を取らなければならない。すなわち内臓をおおう脂肪と内臓の上のすべての脂肪、

⁹ 二つの腎臓とその上の腰のあたりにある脂肪、ならびに腎臓と共に取られる肝臓の上の小葉である。

¹⁰ これを取るには酬恩祭の犠牲の雄牛から取るのと同じようにしなければならない。そして祭司はそれを燔祭の祭壇の上で焼かなければならない。

¹¹ その子牛の皮とそのすべての肉、およびその頭と足と内臓と汚物など、

¹² すべてその子牛の残りは、これを宿営の外の、清い場所なる灰捨場に携え出し、火をもってこれをたきぎの上で焼き捨てなければならない。すなわちこれは灰捨場で焼き捨てらるべきである。

¹³ もしイスラエルの全会衆があやまちを犯し、そのことが会衆の目に隠れていても、主のいましめにそむいて、してはならないことの一つをなして、とがを得たならば、

¹⁴ その犯した罪が現れた時、会衆は雄の子牛を罪祭としてささげなければならない。すなわちそれを会見の幕屋の前に連れてきて、

¹⁵ 会衆の長老たちは、主の前でその子牛の頭に手を置き、その子牛を主の前で、ほふらなければならない。

¹⁶ そして、油注がれた祭司は、その子牛の血を会見の幕屋に携え入り、

¹⁷ 祭司は指をその血に浸し、垂幕の前で主の前に七たび注がなければならない。

¹⁸ またその血を取って、会見の幕屋の中の主の前にある祭壇の角に、それを塗らなければならない。その血の残りはことごとく会見の幕屋の入口にある燔祭の祭壇のもとに注がなければならない。

¹⁹ またそのすべての脂肪を取って祭壇の上で焼かなければならない。

²⁰ すなわち祭司は罪祭の雄牛にしたように、この雄牛にも、しなければならない。こうして、祭司が彼らのためにあがないをするならば、彼らはゆるされるであろう。

²¹ そして、彼はその雄牛を宿営の外に携え出し、はじめの雄牛を焼き捨てたように、これを焼き捨てなければならない。これは会衆の罪祭である。

²² またつかさたる者が罪を犯し、あやまって、その神、主のいましめにそむき、してはならないことの一つをして、とがを得、

²³ もしその犯した罪を知るようになったときは、供え物として雄やぎの全きものを連れてきて、

²⁴ そのやぎの頭に手を置き、燔祭をほふる場所で、主の前にこれをほふらなければならない。これは罪祭である。

²⁵ 祭司は指でその罪祭の血を取り、燔祭の祭壇の角にそれを塗り、残りの血は燔祭の祭壇のもとに注がなければならない。

²⁶ また、そのすべての脂肪は、酬恩祭の犠牲の脂肪と同じように、祭壇の上で焼かなければならない。こうして、祭司が彼のためにその罪のあがないをするならば、彼はゆるされるであろう。

²⁷ また一般の人がもしあやまって罪を犯し、主のいましめにそむいて、してはならないことの一つをして、とがを得、

²⁸ その犯した罪を知るようになったときは、その犯した罪のために供え物として雌やぎの全きものを連れてきて、

²⁹ その罪祭の頭に手を置き、燔祭をほふる場所で、その罪祭をほふらなければならない。

³⁰ そして祭司は指でその血を取り、燔祭の祭壇の角にこれを塗り、残りの血をことごとく祭壇のもとに注がなければならない。

³¹ またそのすべての脂肪は酬恩祭の犠牲から脂肪を取るのと同じように取り、これを祭壇の上で焼いて主にささげる香ばしいかおりとしなければならない。こうして祭司が彼のためにあがないをするならば、彼はゆるされるであろう。

³² もし小羊を罪祭のために供え物として連れてくるならば、雌の全きものを連れてこなければならない。

³³ その罪祭の頭に手を置き、燔祭をほふる場所で、これをほふり、罪祭としなければならない。

³⁴ そして祭司は指でその罪祭の血を取り、燔祭の祭壇の角にそれを塗り、残りの血はことごとく祭壇のもとに注がなければならない。

³⁵ またそのすべての脂肪は酬恩祭の犠牲から小羊の脂肪を取るのと同じように取り、祭司はこれを主にささげる火祭のように祭壇の上で焼かなければならない。こうして祭司が彼の犯した罪のためにあがないをするならば、彼はゆるされるであろう。

¹ "This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the priest's office: take one young bull and two rams without blemish,

² unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine wheat flour.

³ You shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.

⁴ You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.

⁵ You shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the coat, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and clothe him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod;

⁶ and you shall set the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.

⁷ Then you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him.

⁸ You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.

⁹ You shall clothe them with belts, Aaron and his sons, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

¹⁰ "You shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

¹¹ You shall kill the bull before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

¹² You shall take of the blood of the bull, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

¹³ You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

¹⁴ But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.

¹⁵ "You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

¹⁶ You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar.

¹⁷ You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.

¹⁸ You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to Yahweh; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

¹⁹ "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

²⁰ Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

²¹ You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

²² Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),

²³ and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.

²⁴ You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his sons' hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

²⁵ You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Yahweh: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

²⁶ "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be your portion.

²⁷ You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:

²⁸ and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering: and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to Yahweh.

²⁹ "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.

³⁰ Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.

³¹ "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.

³² Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

³³ They shall eat those things with which atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of it, because they are holy.

³⁴ If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

³⁵ "You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.

³⁶ Every day you shall offer the bull of sin offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.

³⁷ Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

³⁸ "Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.

³⁹ The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening:

⁴⁰ and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

⁴¹ The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

⁴² It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.

⁴³ There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.

⁴⁴ I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar: Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's office.

⁴⁵ I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

⁴⁶ They shall know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Yahweh their God.
