Then the Lord said to me,“ Suppose Moses and Samuel were standing in front of me. Even then my heart would not feel sorry for these people. Send them away from me! Let them go!

Moses put half of the blood in bowls. He splashed the other half against the altar.Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They answered,“ We will do everything the Lord has told us to do. We will obey him.”Then Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people. He said,“ This is the blood that puts the covenant into effect. The Lord has made this covenant with you in keeping with all these words.”

Then Moses cried out to the Lord. The Lord showed him a stick. Moses threw it into the water. The water became fit to drink. There the Lord gave a ruling and instruction for the people. And there he tested them.

Then Samuel got a very young lamb. He sacrificed it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. He cried out to the Lord to help Israel. And the Lord answered his prayer.The Philistines came near to attack Israel. At that time Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering. But that day the Lord thundered loudly against the Philistines. He threw them into such a panic that the Israelites were able to chase them away.The men of Israel rushed out of Mizpah. They chased the Philistines all the way to a point below Beth Kar. They killed them all along the way.Then Samuel got a big stone. He set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer. He said,“ The Lord has helped us every step of the way.”

Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people of Israel to move on.

Kill it in front of the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.Dip your finger into some of the bull’s blood. Put it on the horns that stick out from the upper four corners of the altar. Pour the rest of it out at the base of the altar.Then take all the fat on the inside parts. Take the long part of the liver. Get both kidneys with the fat on them. And burn all of it on the altar.But burn the bull’s meat, hide and guts outside the camp. It is a sin offering.“ Get one of the rams. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on its head.Kill it. Take the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar.Cut the ram into pieces. Wash the inside parts and the legs. Put them with the head and the other pieces.Then burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to me. It has a pleasant smell. It is a food offering presented to the Lord.“ Get the other ram. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on its head.Kill it. Put some of its blood on the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons. Put some on the thumbs of their right hands. Also put some on the big toes of their right feet. Then splash the blood against the sides of the altar.Get some of the blood from the altar. Also get some of the anointing oil. Sprinkle both of them on Aaron and his clothes and on his sons and their clothes. Then he and his sons and their clothes will be set apart to serve the Lord.“ Here is what you must take from this second ram. Take the fat, the fat tail and the fat around the inside parts. Take the long part of the liver. Also take both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh. It is the ram you must use when you prepare the priests to serve the Lord.Get one round loaf of bread and one thick loaf of bread with olive oil mixed in. Also get one thin loaf of bread. Take them from the basket of bread made without yeast. It is the one in front of the Lord.Put all these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons. Tell them to lift them up and wave them in front of the Lord as a wave offering.Then take all these things from their hands. Burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering. Its smell pleases the Lord. It is a food offering presented to the Lord.Get the breast of the ram used when you prepare Aaron to serve the Lord. Wave it in front of the Lord as a wave offering. It will be your share of the meat.“ Here are the parts of the second ram that belong to Aaron and his sons. You must set apart the breast that was waved and the thigh that was offered.It will be the regular share from the Israelites for Aaron and his sons. The people must give it to the Lord from their friendship offerings.“ Aaron’s sacred clothes will belong to his sons who will come after him. Then they can wear them when you anoint them and prepare them to serve the Lord.The son who comes after Aaron as priest must wear them seven days. He will come and serve in the Holy Room in the tent of meeting.“ Get the ram sacrificed when you prepare Aaron and his sons to serve the Lord. Cook the meat in a sacred place.Aaron and his sons must eat the ram’s meat. And they must eat the bread in the basket. They must eat all of it at the entrance to the tent of meeting.These are the offerings to pay for their sins. They must eat them. The offerings must be made when Aaron and his sons are set apart and prepared to serve the Lord. No one else can eat them. They are sacred.When you prepare Aaron and his sons to serve me, you will sacrifice the ram and the bread. If any parts of the ram or bread are left until morning, burn them up. They must not be eaten. They are sacred.“ Do everything I have commanded you to do for Aaron and his sons. Take seven days when you prepare them to serve the Lord.Sacrifice a bull each day. It is a sin offering to pay for their sins. Make the altar pure. Pour olive oil on it to set it apart.Take seven days to make the altar pure. Set it apart. Then the altar will be a very holy place. Anything that touches it will be holy.

Moses said to the Lord,“ You have been telling me,‘ Lead these people.’ But you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. You have said,‘ I know your name. I know all about you. And I am pleased with you.’If you are pleased with me, teach me more about yourself. Then I can know you. And I can continue to please you. Remember that this nation is your people.”The Lord replied,“ I will go with you. And I will give you rest.”Then Moses said to him,“ If you don’t go with us, don’t send us up from here.

Samuel called out to the Lord. That same day the Lord sent thunder and rain. So all the people had great respect for the Lord and for Samuel.They said to Samuel,“ Pray to the Lord your God for us. Pray that we won’t die because we asked for a king. That was an evil thing to do. We added it to all our other sins.”“ Don’t be afraid,” Samuel replied.“ It’s true that you have done all these evil things. But don’t turn away from the Lord. Serve him with all your heart.Don’t turn away and worship statues of gods. They are useless. They can’t do you any good. They can’t save you either. They are completely useless.But the Lord will be true to his great name. He won’t turn his back on his people. That’s because he was pleased to make you his own people.I would never sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. I’ll teach you to live in a way that is good and right.But be sure to have respect for the Lord. Serve him faithfully. Do it with all your heart. Think about the great things he has done for you.

The next day Moses said to the people,“ You have committed a terrible sin. But now I will go up to the Lord. Maybe if I pray to him, he will forgive your sin.”

He arranged the loaves of bread on it in the sight of the Lord. Moses did it as the Lord had commanded him.Moses placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting. It stood across from the table on the south side of the holy tent.He set up the lamps in front of the Lord. Moses did it as the Lord had commanded him.Moses placed the gold altar for burning incense in the tent of meeting. He placed it in front of the curtain.He burned sweet- smelling incense on it. Moses did it as the Lord had commanded him.Then Moses put up the curtain at the entrance to the holy tent.He set the altar for burnt offerings near the entrance to the holy tent, the tent of meeting. He sacrificed burnt offerings and grain offerings on it. Moses did it as the Lord had commanded him.

Moses said to the Lord,“ Then the Egyptians will hear about it. You used your power to bring these people up from among them.And the Egyptians will tell the people who live in Canaan about it. Lord, they have already heard a lot about you. They’ve heard that you are with these people. They’ve heard that you have been seen face to face. They’ve been told that your cloud stays over them. They’ve heard that you go in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day. They’ve been told that you go in front of them in a pillar of fire at night.Suppose you put all these people to death and leave none alive. Then the nations who have heard these things about you will talk. They’ll say,‘ The Lord promised to give these people the land of Canaan. But he wasn’t able to bring them into it. So he killed them in the desert.’“ Now, Lord, show your strength. You have said,‘ I am the Lord. I am slow to get angry. I am full of love. I forgive those who sin. I forgive those who refuse to obey. But I do not let guilty people go without punishing them. I cause the sin of the parents to affect their children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren.’Lord, your love is great. So forgive the sin of these people. Forgive them just as you have done from the time they left Egypt until now.”The Lord replied,“ I have forgiven them, just as you asked.

“ Separate yourselves from these people. Then I can put an end to all of them at once.”But Moses and Aaron fell with their faces to the ground. They cried out,“ God, you are the God who gives life and breath to all living things. Will you be angry with the whole community when only one man sins?”

But Moses asked the Lord his God to have mercy on the people.“ Lord,” he said,“ why should you destroy your people in anger? You used your great power and mighty hand to bring them out of Egypt.Why should the Egyptians say,‘ He brought them out to hurt them. He wanted to kill them in the mountains. He wanted to wipe them off the face of the earth’? Turn away from your great anger. Please take pity on your people. Don’t destroy them!Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel. You made a promise to them in your own name. You said,‘ I will make your children after you as many as the stars in the sky. I will give them all this land I promised them. It will belong to them forever.’ ”Then the Lord took pity on his people. He didn’t destroy them as he had said he would.

So Aaron did as Moses said. He ran in among the people. The plague had already started among them. But Aaron offered the incense and paid for their sin.He stood between those alive and those dead. And the plague stopped.

The Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting. Bring their clothes and the anointing oil. Bring the bull for the sin offering. Also bring two rams. And bring the basket with the bread made without yeast.Then gather the whole community at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”Moses did just as the Lord had commanded him. All the people gathered together at the entrance to the tent of meeting.Moses said to the people,“ Here is what the Lord has commanded us to do.”Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons to the people. He washed Aaron and his sons with water.He put the inner robe on Aaron. He tied the belt around him. He dressed him in the outer robe. He put the linen apron on him. He took the skillfully made waistband and tied the apron on him with it. He wanted to make sure it was securely tied to him.Moses placed the chest cloth on Aaron. He put the Urim and Thummim in the chest cloth.Then he placed the turban on Aaron’s head. On the front of the turban he put the gold plate. It was a sacred crown. Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.Then Moses took the anointing oil and poured it on the holy tent. He also poured it on everything in it. That’s how he set apart those things for the Lord.He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times. He poured oil on the altar and all its tools. He poured it on the large bowl and its stand. He did it to set them apart.He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head. He anointed him to set him apart to serve the Lord.Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons to the people. He put the inner robes on them. He tied belts around them. He put caps on their heads. He did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.Then he brought the bull for the sin offering. Aaron and his sons placed their hands on its head.Moses killed the bull. He dipped his finger into some of the blood. He put it on the horns that stick out from the upper four corners of the altar. He did it to make the altar pure. He poured out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar. So he set it apart to make it pure.Moses also removed all the fat around the inside parts of the bull. He removed the long part of the liver. He took both kidneys and their fat. Then he burned all of it on the altar.But he burned the rest of the bull outside the camp. He burned up its hide, its meat and its guts. He did it just as the Lord had commanded him.Then Moses brought the ram for the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons placed their hands on its head.Moses killed the ram. He splashed the blood against the sides of the altar.He cut the ram into pieces. He burned the head, the other pieces and the fat.He washed the inside parts and the legs with water.

He put all of it on the fat parts of the ram and on its right thigh.He put everything in the hands of Aaron and his sons. He told them to lift it up and wave it in front of the Lord as a wave offering.Then Moses took it from their hands. He burned it on the altar on top of the burnt offering. It was the offering that was sacrificed to prepare the priests for serving the Lord. It had a pleasant smell.
