Old Testament · Brenton Septuagint with Greek parallel

Exodus 29

1And these are the things which you shall do to them: you shall sanctify them, so that they shall serve me in the priesthood; and you shall take one young calf from the herd, and two unblemished rams;Καὶ ταῦτά ἐστιν, ἃ ποιήσεις αὐτοῖς· ἁγιάσεις αὐτοὺς, ὥστε ἱερατεύειν μοι αὐτούς· λήψῃ δὲ μοσχάριον ἐκ βοῶν ἓν, καὶ κριοὺς ἀμώμους δύο,

2and unleavened loaves kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine flour of wheat.καὶ ἄρτους ἀζύμους πεφυραμένους ἑν ἐλαίῳ, καὶ λάγανα ἄζυμα κεχρισμένα ἐν ἐλαίῳ· σεμίδαλιν ἐκ πυρῶν ποιήσεις αὐτά.

3And you shall put them on one basket, and you shall offer them on the basket, and the young calf and the two rams.Καὶ ἐπιθήσεις αὐτὰ ἐπὶ κανοῦν ἕν· καὶ προσοίσεις αὐτὰ ἐπὶ τῷ κανῷ· καὶ τὸ μοσχάριον, καὶ τοὺς δύο κριούς.

4And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and you shall wash them with water.Καὶ Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ προσάξεις ἐπὶ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ λούσεις αὐτοὺς ἐν ὕδατι.

5And having taken the garments, you shall put on Aaron your brother both the full-length robe and the ephod and the oracle; and you shall join for him the oracle to the ephod.Καὶ λαβὼν τὰς στολὰς, ἐνδύσεις Ἀαρὼν τὸν ἀδελφόν σου καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα τὸν ποδήρη, καὶ τὴν ἐπωμίδα, καὶ τὸ λογεῖον· καὶ συνάψεις αὐτῷ τὸ λογεῖον πρὸς τὴν ἐπωμίδα.

6And you shall put the mitre on his head; and you shall put the plate, even the Holiness, on the mitre.Καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τὴν μίτραν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τὸ πέταλον τὸ ἁγίασμα ἐπὶ τὴν μίτραν.

7And you shall take of the anointing oil, and you shall pour it on his head, and shall anoint him,Καὶ λήψῃ τοῦ ἐλαίου τοῦ χρίσματος· καὶ ἐπιχεεῖς αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ χρίσεις αὐτόν.

8and you shall bring his sons, and put garments on them.Καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ προσάξεις, καὶ ἐνδύσεις αὐτοὺς χιτῶνας.

9And you shall gird them with the girdles, and put the tires upon them, and they shall have a priestly office to me for ever; and you shall * fill the hands of Aaron and the hands of his sons.Καὶ ζώσεις αὐτοὺς ταῖς ζωναῖς, καὶ περιθήσεις αὐτοῖς τὰς κιδάρεις· καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς ἱερατῖα μοι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ τελειώσεις Ἀαρὼν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰς χεῖρας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ.

10And you shall bring the calf to the door of the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the calf, before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness.Καὶ προσάξεις τὸν μόσχον ἐπὶ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου· καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν Ἀαρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ μόσχου, ἔναντι Κυρίου, παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου.

11And you shall kill the calf before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness.Καὶ σφάξεις τὸν μόσχον ἔναντι Κυρίου, παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου.

12And you shall take of the blood of the calf, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, but all the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the foot of the altar.Καὶ λήψῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ μόσχου, καὶ θήσεις ἐπὶ τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τῷ δακτύλῳ σου· τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν πᾶν αἷμα ἐκχεεῖς παρὰ τὴν βάσιν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.

13And you shall take all the fat that is on the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shall put them upon the altar.Καὶ λήψῃ πᾶν τὸ στέαρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς κοιλίας, καὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ἥπατος, καὶ τοὺς δύο νεφροὺς, καὶ τὸ στέαρ τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπιθήσεις ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον.

14But the flesh of the calf, and his skin, and his dung, shall you burn with fire without the camp; for it is an offering on account of sin.Τὰ δὲ κρέατα τοῦ μόσχου, καὶ τὸ δέρμα, καὶ τὴν κόπρον κατακαύσεις πυρὶ ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς· ἁμαρτίας γάρ ἐστι.

15And you shall take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.Καὶ τὸν κριὸν λήψῃ τὸν ἕνα, καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν Ἀαρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ κριοῦ.

16And you shall kill it, and take the blood and pour it on the altar round about.Καὶ σφάξεις αὐτὸν, καὶ λαβὼν τὸ αἷμα προσχεεῖς πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον κύκλῳ.

17And you shall divide the ram by his several limbs, and you shall wash the inward parts and the feet with water, and you shall put them on the divided parts with the head.Καὶ τὸν κριὸν διχοτομήσεις κατὰ μέλη· καὶ πλυνεῖς τὰ ἐνδόσθια καὶ τοὺς πόδας ὕδατι, καὶ ἐπιθήσεις ἐπὶ τὰ διχοτομήματα σὺν τῇ κεφαλῇ.

18And you shall offer the whole ram on the altar, a whole burnt offering to the Lord for a sweet smelling savor: it is an offering of incense to the Lord.Καὶ ἀνοίσεις ὅλον τὸν κριὸν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, ὁλοκαύτωμα τῷ Κυρίῳ εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας· θυμίαμα Κυρίῳ ἐστί.

19And you shall take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.Καὶ λήψῃ τὸν κριὸν τὸν δεύτερον, καὶ ἐπιθήσει Ἀαρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ κριοῦ.

20And you shall kill it, and take of the blood of it, and put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, and on the tips of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the great toes of their right feet.Καὶ σφάξεις αὐτὸν, καὶ λήψῃ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπιθήσεις ἐπὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ὠτὸς Ἀαρὼν τοῦ δεξιοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς δεξιᾶς χειρὸς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ποδὸς τοῦ δεξιοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς λοβοὺς τῶν ὤτων τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν δεξιῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν τῶν δεξιῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῶν τῶν δεξιῶν.

21And you shall take of the blood from the altar, and of the anointing oil; and you shall sprinkle it upon Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons and on his sons' garments with him; and he shall be sanctified and his apparel, and his sons and his sons' apparel with him: but the blood of the ram you shall pour round about upon the altar.Καὶ λήψῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τῆς χρίσεως, καὶ ῥανεῖς ἐπὶ Ἀαρὼν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς στολὰς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἁγιασθήσεται αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ στολὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ στολαὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· τὸ δὲ αἷμα τοῦ κριοῦ προσχεεῖς πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον κύκλῳ.

22And you shall take from the ram its fat, both the fat that covers the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, for this is a † consecration.Καὶ λήψῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ κριοῦ τὸ στέαρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ στέαρ τὸ κατακαλύπτον τὴν κοιλίαν, καὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ἥπατος, καὶ τοὺς δύο νεφροὺς, καὶ τὸ στέαρ τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸν βραχίονα τὸν δεξιόν· ἔστι γὰρ τελείωσις αὕτη.

23And one cake made with oil, and one cake from the basket of unleavened bread set forth before the Lord.Καὶ ἄρτον ἕνα ἐξ ἐλαίου, καὶ λάγανον ἓν ἀπὸ τοῦ κανοῦ τῶν ἀζύμων τῶν προτεθειμένων ἔναντι Κυρίου.

24And you shall put them all on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and you shall ‡ separate them as a separate offering before the Lord.Καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τὰ πάντα ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας Ἀαρὼν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀφοριεῖς αὐτὰ ἀφόρισμα ἔναντι Κυρίου.

25And you shall take them from their hands, and shall offer them up on the altar of whole burnt offering for a sweet smelling savor before the Lord: it is an offering to the Lord.Καὶ λήψῃ αὐτὰ ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνοίσεις ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας ἔναντι Κύριου· κάρπωμά ἐστι Κυρίῳ.

26And you shall take the breast from the ram of consecration which is Aaron's, and you shall separate it as a separate offering before the Lord, and it shall be to you for a portion.Καὶ λήψῃ τὸ στηθύνιον ἀπὸ τοῦ κριοῦ τῆς τελειώσεως, ὅ ἐστιν Ἀαρών· καὶ ἀφοριεῖς αὐτὸ ἀφόρισμα ἔναντι Κυρίου· καὶ ἔσται σοι ἐν μερίδι.

27And you shall sanctify the separated breast and the shoulder of removal which has been separated, and which has been removed from the ram of consecration, of the portion of Aaron and of that of his sons.Καὶ ἁγιάσεις τὸ στηθύνιον ἀφόρισμα, καὶ τὸν βραχίονα τοῦ ἀφαιρέματος, ὃς ἀφώρισται, καὶ ὃς ἀφῄρηται ἀπὸ τοῦ κριοῦ τῆς τελειώσεως ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἀαρὼν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ.

28And it shall be a perpetual statute of the children of Israel to Aaron and his sons, for this is a separate offering; and it shall be a § special offering from the children of Israel, from the peace-offerings of the children of Israel, a special offering to the Lord.Καὶ ἔσται Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ νόμιμον αἰώνιον παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· ἔστι γὰρ ἀφόρισμα τοῦτο· καὶ ἀφαίρεμα ἕσται παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν θυμάτων τῶν σωτηρίων τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ἀφαίρεμα Κυρίῳ.

29And the apparel of the sanctuary which is Aaron's shall be his son's after him, for them to be anointed in them, and to fill their hands.Καὶ ἡ στολὴ τοῦ ἁγίου, ἥ ἐστιν Ἀαρὼν, ἔσται τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτὸν, χρισθῆναι αὐτοὺς ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τελειῶσαι τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν.

30The priest his successor from among his sons who shall go into the tabernacle of witness to minister in the holies, shall put them on seven days.Ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐνδύσεται αὐτὰ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, ὃς εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου λειτουργεῖν ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις.

31And you shall take the ram of consecration, and you shall boil the flesh in the holy place.Καὶ τὸν κριὸν τῆς τελειώσεως λήψῃ· καὶ ἑψήσεις τὰ κρέα ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ.

32And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the loaves in the basket, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness.Καὶ ἔδονται Ἀαρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ κρέα τοῦ κριοῦ, καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους τοὺς ἐν τῷ κανῷ, παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου.

33They shall eat the offerings with which they were sanctified to fill their hands, to sanctify them; and a stranger shall not eat of them, for they are holy.Ἔδονται αὐτὰ ἐν οἷς ἡγιάσθησαν ἐν αὐτοῖς τελειῶσαι τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, ἁγιάσαι αὐτούς· καὶ ἀλλογενὴς οὐκ ἔδεται ἀπʼ αὐτῶν· ἔστι γὰρ ἅγια.

34And if anything be left of the flesh of the sacrifice of consecration and of the loaves until the morning, you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, for it is a holy thing.Ἐὰν δὲ καταλειφθῇ ἀπὸ τῶν κρεῶν τῆς θυσίας τῆς τελειώσεως καὶ τῶν ἄρτων ἕως πρωῒ, κατακαύσεις τὰ λοιπὰ πυρί· οὐ βρωθήσεται· ἁγίασμα γάρ ἐστι.

35And thus shall you do for Aaron and for his sons according to all things that I have commanded you; seven days shall you fill their hands.Καὶ ποιήσεις Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ οὕτω κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην σοι· ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τελειώσεις τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν.

36And you shall sacrifice the calf of the sin-offering on the day of purification, and you shall purify the altar when you do ** perform consecration upon it, and you shall anoint it so as to sanctify it.Καὶ τὸ μοσχάριον τῆς ἁμαρτίας ποιήσεις τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ· καὶ καθαριεῖς τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐν τῷ ἁγιάζειν σε ἐπʼ αὐτῷ· καὶ χρίσεις αὐτὸ ὥστε ἁγιάσαι αὐτό.

37Seven days shall you purify the altar and sanctify it; and the altar shall be most holy, every one that touches the altar shall be hallowed.Ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καθαριεῖς τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἁγιάσεις αὐτό· καὶ ἔσται τὸ θυσιαστήριον, ἅγιον τοῦ ἁγίου· πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, ἁγιασθήσεται.

38And these are the offerings which you shall offer upon the altar; two unblemished lambs of a year old daily on the altar continually, a constant offering.Καὶ ταῦτά ἐστιν, ἃ ποιήσεις ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου· ἀμνοὺς ἐνιαυσίους ἀμώμους δύο τὴν ἡμέραν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐνδελεχῶς, κάρπωμα ἐνδελεχισμοῦ.

39One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the second lamb you shall offer in the evening.Τὸν ἀμνὸν τὸν ἕνα ποιήσεις τὸ πρωῒ, καὶ τὸν ἀμνὸν τὸν δεύτερον ποιήσεις τὸ δειλινόν.

40And a tenth measure of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil, and a drink-offering the fourth part of a hin of wine for one lamb.Καὶ δέκατον σεμιδάλεως πεφυραμένης ἐν ἐλαίῳ κεκομμένῳ τῷ τετάρτῳ τοῦ εἴν· καὶ σπονδὴν τὸ τέταρτον τοῦ εἲν οἴνου τῷ ἀμνῷ τῷ ἑνί.

41And you shall offer the second lamb in the evening, after the manner of the morning-offering, and according to the drink-offering †† of the morning lamb; you shall offer it an offering to the Lord for a sweet smelling savor,Καὶ τὸν ἀμνὸν τὸν δεύτερον ποιήσεις τὸ δειλινὸν, κατὰ τὴν θυσίαν τὴν πρωϊνὴν, καὶ κατὰ τὴν σπονδὴν αὐτοῦ· ποιήσεις εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κάρπωμα Κυρίῳ,

42a perpetual sacrifice ‡‡ throughout your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord; wherein I will be known to you from thence, so as to speak to you.θυσίαν ἐνδελεχισμοῦ εἰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν, ἐπὶ θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἔναντι Κυρίου, ἐν οἷς γνωσθήσομαί σοι ἐκεῖθεν, ὥστε λαλῆσαί σοι.

43And I will there give orders to the children of Israel, and I will be sanctified in my glory.Καὶ τάξομαι ἐκεῖ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι ἐν δόξῃ μου.

44And I will sanctify the tabernacle of testimony and the altar, and I will sanctify Aaron and his sons, to minister as priests to me.Καὶ ἁγιάσω τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον· καὶ Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἁγιάσω, ἱερατεύειν μοι.

45And I will be §§ called upon among the children of Israel, and will be their God.Καὶ ἐπικληθήσομαι ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτῶν Θεός.

46And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, to be *** called upon by them, and to be their God.Καὶ γνώσονται, ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν, ὁ ἐξαγαγὼν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ἐπικληθῆναι αὐτοῖς, καὶ εἶναι αὐτῶν Θεός.
