Ordination step by step for seven days: washing, wearing di robe, anointing, putting hand on top di bull and ram dem, blood for ear, thumb and toe. E end with di main point of everything — I go live among di people of Israel and I go be dia Papa, and dem go know.

Chapter 29.

"To dedicate dem as priests wey go serve me, do dis one: take one young bull and two rams wey no get any spot, and bread wey no get yeast, unleavened cake wey dem mix with oil, and unleavened wafer wey dem rub oil for on top, all of dem make with fine wheat flour. Put dem inside one basket and bring dem come inside am, together with di bull and di two rams. Den bring Aaron and im sons come di entrance of di tent of meeting and wash dem with water. Take di garments and dress Aaron with di tunic, di robe of di ephod, di ephod, and di breastpiece, and tie di ephod im woven band for im body. Put di turban for im head and put di holy crown for on top di turban. Den take di anointing oil, pour am for im head, and anoint am. Bring im sons come front and dress dem with tunics. Tie sash round Aaron and im sons and fasten dia caps. Di priesthood na dem own by decree wey no go end. So you go ordain Aaron and im sons.

"Bring di bull come before di tent of meeting; Aaron and im sons go put dia hands for im head. Kill di bull before me for di entrance of di tent of meeting. Take some of di bull im blood and use your finger put am for di horns of di altar; pour di rest for di base of di altar. Take all di fat wey dey cover di organs, di lobe of di liver, and di two kidneys with dia fat, and burn dem for di altar. Burn di bull im flesh, im skin, and im waste for outside di camp. Na sin offering.

"Take one ram; Aaron and im sons go put dia hands for im head. Kill di ram, take im blood, and throw am for di sides of di altar. Cut di ram into pieces, wash im inner organs and legs, and put dem together with im pieces and im head. Den burn di whole ram for di altar. Na burnt offering to me, aroma wey dey sweet, food offering wey dem bring come before me.

"Take di oda ram, and Aaron and im sons go put dia hands for im head. Kill di ram, take some of im blood, and put am for Aaron im right earlobe, for im sons dia right earlobes, for dia right thumbs and dia right big toes, and throw di rest of di blood for di sides of di altar. Take some of di blood wey dey di altar and some of di anointing oil, and sprinkle dem for Aaron and im garments, and for im sons and dia garments with am. Den am and im garments go dey holy, together with im sons and dia garments. Take di fat from di ram: di fat tail, di fat wey dey cover di internal organs, di liver im long lobe, di two kidneys with dia fat, and di right thigh—because na ram of ordination. Take one loaf, one oil cake, and one wafer from di basket of bread wey no get yeast wey dey before me. Put all dis ones for di hands of Aaron and im sons, and wave dem as wave offering before me. Take dem from dia hands and burn dem for di altar on top di burnt offering, aroma wey dey sweet before me. Na food offering to me.

"Take di breast of Aaron im ordination ram and wave am before me as wave offering; na your own portion. Set apart di wave-offering breast and di raised thigh from di ordination ram—di portions for Aaron and im sons. E belong to Aaron and im sons as share wey go dey forever from di people of Israel, because na contribution—di contribution from di people of Israel dia peace offerings, dia contribution to me.

"Aaron im holy garments go pass to im sons wey come after am, so dem go anoint dem and ordain dem inside am. Di son wey go take im place as priest and enter di tent of meeting to serve for di Holy Place go wear dem for seven days.

"Take di ram of ordination and boil im flesh for holy place. For di entrance of di tent of meeting, Aaron and im sons go chop di ram im meat and di bread wey dey di basket. Dem go chop di things wey make atonement for dia ordination and dedication, but no outsider go chop am, because e holy. If any of di ordination meat or bread remain reach morning, burn di rest with fire. Dem no go chop am, because e holy.

"Do dis one for Aaron and im sons, following all wey I command you. Take seven days to ordain dem. Every day offer one bull as sin offering for atonement. Purify di altar by making atonement for am, and anoint am to dedicate am. For seven days make atonement for di altar and dedicate am. Den e go dey most holy, and anything wey touch am go dey holy.

"Na dis one you go offer for di altar: two lambs wey be one year old every day, no fail. Offer one lamb for morning and di oda one for evening time. With di first lamb offer about two quarts of fine flour wey dem mix with about one quart of pressed oil, and about one quart of wine as drink offering. Offer di second lamb for evening time with di same grain and drink offering like di morning own, aroma wey dey sweet, food offering to me. Na burnt offering wey go dey continue for all your generations for di entrance of di tent of meeting before me, di place wey I go meet with you to talk with you. Na dere I go meet with di Israelites, and my glory go make di place holy. I go dedicate di tent of meeting and di altar, and dedicate Aaron and im sons to serve me as priests.

"I go dwell among di people of Israel and I go be dia Papa. Dem go know say na me be dia Papa, wey bring dem comot from Egypt so I fit live among dem. Na me be dia Papa."
