G-d tells Moshe to command
the Jewish People to supply
pure olive oil for the menorah in the Mishkan (Tent
of Meeting).
He also tells Moshe to organize
the making of the bigdei kehuna
(priestly garments): A breastplate, an ephod, a robe, a
checkered tunic,
a turban, a sash, a forehead-plate, and linen trousers.
Upon their completion, Moshe is to
perform a ceremony for
seven days to consecrate Aharon and his sons. This
includes offering
sacrifices, dressing Aharon and his sons in their
respective garments,
and anointing Aharon with oil.
G-d commands that every morning and
afternoon a sheep
be offered on the altar in the Mishkan. This
offering should be
accompanied by a meal-offering, and libations of wine and oil.
G-d commands that an altar for
incense be built from acacia wood
and covered with gold. Aharon and his descendants
should
burn incense on this altar every day. |
