[ edit] But and þis þou ſhalt doon, þat þei be ſacrid to me in preſþode; tak a calf from þe droue, and two wheþeris wiþ outen wemme, and þerf looues, and a cake wiþ outen ſour dowȝ, þe whiche ben þei ſpreynde wiþ oyle, and þerf cramcakes wett wiþ oyle; and of puyr whete meele þow ſhalt make alle þingis, and put in a leepe þow ſhalt offre. Þe calf forſoþe, and þe two weþeris, and Aaron and his children, þou ſhalt brynge to þe dore of þe tabernacle of witnes; and whanne þow haſt waſſhe þe fader wiþ þe ſones wiþ water, þow ſhalt cloþe Aaron wiþ his cloþes, þat is to ſeie, wiþ rocket, and coote, and coope, and breeſt broche, þat þow ſhalt ſtreyne wiþ a girdel.

And þow ſhalt putte a coyif in to his heed, and þe holi plate vpon þe coyif, and þe oyle of anoyntynge þow ſhalt heelde vpon his heed, and wiþ þis ryte he ſhal be ſacrid. Þe ſones forſoþe of hym þow ſhalt preſente, and þow ſhalt cloþe wiþ lynnen cloþes, and þow ſhalt girde wiþ a girdle, þat is, Aaron and his free children; and þow ſhalt putte vpon hem mytrys, and þei ſhulen be my preeſtis wiþ euerlaſtynge religioun. And after þat þow haſt ſacryde þe hondes of hem, þow ſhalt brynge forþ and a calf before þe tabernacle of witnes, and Aaron and his ſones ſhulen putte yn hondes vpon þe heed of it; and þow ſhalt ſlee it in þe ſiȝt of þe Lord, biſide þe dore of þe tabernacle of witnes.

And þat þat is takun of þe blood of þe calf, þow ſhalt putte vpon þe hornes of þe auter wiþ þi fyngre; þe relif blood forſoþe þow ſhalt heelde beſide þe foot of it. And þow ſhalt take al þe fatnes þat couereþ þe entreyls, and þe calle of þe mawe, and þe two kydneers, and þe fatt þat is vpon hem, and þow ſhalt offre encenſe vpon þe auter. Þe fleſh forſoþe of þe calf, and þe ſkynne, and þe dryt, þow ſhalt outforþ brenne out of þe tentis, forþi þat it is for ſynne. And þow ſhalt take o weþer, vpon whos heed Aaron and his ſones ſhal ligge þe hondes; þe which whanne þou haſt ſlawe, þow ſhalt take of þe blood of it, and þow ſhalt heelde aboute þe auter.

And þow ſhalt kutte þat weþer in gobettis, and þe entrayls of it waſhid, and þe feete, þow ſhalt putte vpon þe cut fleſh, and vpon his heed; and þow ſhalt offre al þe weþer into enſence vpon þe auter; offrynge it is to þe Lord, þe mooſt ſwete ſmel of þe ſlawn ſacrifice of þe Lord. And þow ſhalt take anoþer weþer, vpon whos heed Aaron and his ſones ſhulen putte hondes, þe which whanne þow haſt offrede, þow ſhalt take of þe blood of it, and þow ſhalt putte vpon þe eende of þe ryȝt eer of Aaron, and of his ſones, and vpon þe þoumbis of þe hoond of hem, and of þe riȝt foot; and þow ſhalt heelde þe blood vpon þe auter, bi enuyroun.

And whanne þow haſt takun of þe blood, þat is vpon þe auter, and of þe oyle of anoyntyng, þow ſhalt ſprenge Aaron and his cloþes, þe ſones and þe cloþingis of hem. And ſo hem ſacryd, and þe cloþes, þow ſhalt take þe talwȝ of þe weþer, and þe tayle, and þe vttermore fatnes þat couereþ þe entrayls, and þe fatt calle of þe mawe, and þe two reynes, and þe fat þat is vpon hem, and þe riȝt ſhuldre, forþi þat it is þe weþer of conſecracioun; and a cake of a loof, a cruſtid cake ſpreynde wiþ oyle, a crompid cake, of þe leepe of þerf looues, þat is ſett in þe ſiȝt of þe Lord. And þow ſhalt putte al vpon þe hondes of Aaron, and of þe ſones of hym, and þow ſhalt halowe hem, areryng vp before þe Lord.

And þow ſhalt take alle þe þingis fro þe hondes of hem, and þow ſhalt teende vpon þe auter, into alle brent ſacrifice, þe mooſt ſwete ſmel in þe ſiȝt of þe Lord, for it is þe offryng of hym. And þow ſhalt take þe litel breeſt of þe weþir, wiþ þe which Aaron is ſacrid, and þow ſhalt halowe it, arerid vp before þe Lord, and it ſhal falle into þi part.

And þou ſhalt halwe þe ſacrid litel breeſt, and þe ſhuldre þat þow ſeuerdiſt fro þe weþer, wiþ which Aaron was halowed, and his children; and þei ſhulen falle into þe part of Aaron, and þe ſones of hym, þurȝ euerlaſtynge riȝt, fro þe ſones of Yrael; for þei ben þe firſt fruytis, and þe bigynnynges of þe peeſible ſleyne ſacryfice of hem þat ben offred to þe Lord. And þe hooli cloþ þat Aaron ſhal vſe, þe ſones of hym ſhulen haue after hym, þat þei ben anoyntid in it and ſacrid þe hondes of hem. Seuen daies he ſhal vſe it, þat ſhal be of his ſones ordeynd biſhop for hym, and þat ſhal goo into þe tabernacle of witnes, þat he mynyſtre in þe ſeyntuarye.

And þow ſhalt take þe weþer of halowyng, and þow ſhalt ſeeþe þe fleſh of it in þe holy place, of þe which Aaron ſhal eete, and þe ſones of hym; and þe looues þat ben in þe leepe þei ſhulen eete in þe veſtiarye of þe tabernacle of witnes, þat it be a peſible ſacrifice, and þat þe hondes of þe offrers ben halowid. A man of oþer kynne þan þe ſones of Aaron, ſhal not eete of þilke þingis, for þei ben holy. Þat if þere leeue of þe ſacrid fleſh, or of þe looues, vnto þe morwetide, þow ſhalt brenne þe relif wiþ fier; þei ſhulen not ben etun, for þei ben halowid. Alle þingis þat Y comaundide to þee, þow ſhalt do vpon Aaron, and vpon þe ſones of hym.

Seuen daies þow ſhalt ſacre þe hondes of hem, and þow ſhalt offre a calf for ſynne bi eche dayes to perfitely clenſe; and þou ſhalt clenſe þe auter, whanne þow offreſt þe ſacrifies of parfite clenſyng, and þow ſhalt anoynte it into þe halwyng. Seuen daies þow ſhalt clenſe þe auter, and halowe, and it ſhal be holy of halowis; eche þat towchiþ it ſhal be halowid. Þis is þat þow ſhalt do in þe auter; two loombes of o ȝere bi eche day biſili, o loombe at morwetide, and anoþer at euen tide; þe tenþe part of þe tried flowr ſpreynd wiþ oyle, powned, þat haue a meſure, þe fourþe part of hyn, þat is a ſextarye, þat is a meſure of two pownd, and wyn to offre of þe ſame meſure, in o lombe.

Anoþer forſoþe lombe þou ſhalt offre at euen, after þe riyt of þe morwetide offryng, and after þo þingis þat we han ſeid, into þe ſmel of ſwetnes; a ſacrifice to þe Lord it is wiþ euerlaſtynge offryng into ȝoure generaciouns, at þe dore of þe tabernacle of witnes before þe Lord, where Y ſhal ordeyne þat I ſpeke to þee; and þere Y ſhal comaunde to þe ſones of Yrael, and þe auter ſhal be halowid in my glorye. And I ſhal halowe þe tabernacle of witnes wiþ þe auter, and Aaron wiþ þe ſones of hym, þat þei beren þe office of preeſþod to me.

And Y ſhal dwelle in þe myddil of þe ſones of Yrael, and Y ſhal be to hem a God; and þei ſhulen knowe, for Y am þe Lord God of hem, þat haþ ladde hem out of þe loond of Egipte, þat Y myȝt dwelle among hem; Y þe Lord God of hem.
