出埃及記29:1-9


29:1 「你使亞倫和他兒子成聖,給我供祭司的職分,要如此行:取一隻公牛犢,兩隻無殘疾的公綿羊,
29:2
無酵餅和調油的無酵餅,與抹油的無酵薄餅;這都要用細麥麵做成。
29:3
這餅要裝在一個筐子裡,連筐子帶來,又把公牛和兩隻公綿羊牽來。
29:4
要使亞倫和他兒子到會幕門口來,用水洗身。
29:5
要給亞倫穿上內袍和以弗得的外袍,並以弗得,又帶上胸牌,束上以弗得巧工織的帶子。
29:6
把冠冕戴在他頭上,將聖冠加在冠冕上,
29:7
就把膏油倒在他頭上膏他。
29:8
要叫他的兒子來,給他們穿上內袍。
29:9
給亞倫和他兒子束上腰帶,包上裹頭巾,他們就憑永遠的定例得了祭司的職任。又要將亞倫和他兒子分別為聖。

“This is what you are to do to consecrate them, so they may serve me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without defect. And from the finest wheat flour make round loaves without yeast, thick loaves without yeast and with olive oil mixed in, and thin loaves without yeast and brushed with olive oil. Put them in a basket and present them along with the bull and the two rams. Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water. Take the garments and dress Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself and the breastpiece. Fasten the ephod on him by its skillfully woven waistband. Put the turban on his head and attach the sacred emblem to the turban. Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head. Bring his sons and dress them in tunics and fasten caps on them. Then tie sashes on Aaron and his sons.[a] The priesthood is theirs by a lasting ordinance.
“Then you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.

    上帝使亞倫的兒子成為祭司,不是靠修行或任何的訓練造就會,而是靠著禮儀的過程。就像限贖罪祭、素祭、洗身、穿以弗得、戴冠冕,在加上膏油的塗抹、…!這樣就有祭司資格可以來服事上帝!

    這些都是預表基督在我們身上所做的一切,也說明了人不是考自己的努力才可以成聖,是要靠上帝在基督裡所預定的一切!也因此,我們要提醒自己,不是靠自己成聖,是靠基督在十字架所完成的,我們才可以成聖!

    這也是基督信仰與其他宗教或信仰不同之處,一切都是要倚靠基督,所以以我們謙卑將榮耀都歸給上帝,不要歸給自己!
