And the stones shall be engraved with the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one shall be engraved with his name according to the number of the twelve tribes.

And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he enters the holy place, for a continual memorial before the LORD.

And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aarons heart when he enters before the LORD; and Aaron shall bear the judgments of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.

And it shall be upon Aarons forehead, and Aaron shall bear the sins of the children of Israel when they shall offer holy sacrifices and all their holy gifts; and the mitre shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.

And you shall put them upon Aaron your brother, and upon his sons with him; and shall anoint them and consecrate them and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priests office.

And they shall be upon Aaron and upon his sons when they enter the tabernacle of the congregation or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they may not bear iniquity and die; it shall be a statute for ever to Aaron and to his descendants after him.

And Aaron and his sons you shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and you shall wash them with water.

And you shall put the mitre on his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.

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

And you shall bring his sons and put coats upon them.

And you shall gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them; and the priests office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute; and thus you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

And you shall bring a bullock before the tabernacle of the congregation; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bullock.

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

And you shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

Then you shall slaughter the ram, and take some of its blood, and sprinkle it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and upon the tips of the right ears of his sons and upon the thumbs of their right hands and upon the great toes of their right feet, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron and upon his vestments and upon his sons and upon the vestments of his sons with him; and he shall be consecrated and his vestments and his sons and his sons vestments with him.

And you shall put all of these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons; and you shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.

And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering which is waved and which is placed upon the altar from the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons;

And it shall belong to Aaron and his sons by a statute for ever from the children of Israel; for it is a heave offering; and it shall be a heave offering from the children of Israel from their peace offerings, an oblation to the LORD.

And the holy vestments of Aaron shall belong to his sons after him, to be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them.
