¹⁰ “Bring the bull to the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. ¹¹ Slaughter it in the Lord’s presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting. ¹² Take some of the bull’s blood and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar. ¹³ Then take all the fat on the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar. ¹⁴ But burn the bull’s flesh and its hide and its intestines outside the camp. It is a sin offering.^[b]
15 “Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. ¹⁶ Slaughter it and take the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar. ¹⁷ Cut the ram into pieces and wash the internal organs and the legs, putting them with the head and the other pieces. ¹⁸ Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.
¹⁹ “Take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. ²⁰ Slaughter it, take some of its blood and put it on the lobes of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then splash blood against the sides of the altar. ²¹ And take some blood from the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. Then he and his sons and their garments will be consecrated.

    血是用來做淨化和遮蓋人的罪惡用的，好使人和物品在上帝面前被接納為聖物！這也就是說到，基督得寶血可以是我們在上帝的眼中得改變，這一切都是恩典，不是我們努力來的！

    我們清楚不是我們做了什麼，而是上帝透過基督的寶血所成就的一切，我們就當榮耀歸給上帝，這樣就會因為基督的緣故而得上帝的喜歡！這都是基督按照上帝旨意，為我們死在十字架上所帶來的！

    求主再次讓我們認清，一切都是上帝的恩典！

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. ² 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. ³ Put them in a basket and present them along with the bull and the two rams. ⁴ Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water. ⁵ 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. ⁶ Put the turban on his head and attach the sacred emblem to the turban. ⁷ Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head. ⁸ Bring his sons and dress them in tunics ⁹ 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！

出埃及記28:31-43

28:31 「你要做以弗得的外袍，顏色全是藍的。

28:32 袍上要為頭留一領口，口的周圍織出領邊來，彷彿鎧甲的領口，免得破裂。

28:33 袍子周圍底邊上要用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線做石榴。在袍子周圍的石榴中間要有金鈴鐺：

28:34 一個金鈴鐺一個石榴，一個金鈴鐺一個石榴，在袍子周圍的底邊上。

28:35 亞倫供職的時候要穿這袍子。他進聖所到耶和華面前，以及出來的時候，袍上的響聲必被聽見，使他不至於死亡。

28:36 「你要用精金做一面牌，在上面按刻圖書之法刻著『歸耶和華為聖』。

28:37 要用一條藍細帶子將牌繫在冠冕的前面。

28:38 這牌必在亞倫的額上，亞倫要擔當干犯聖物條例的罪孽；這聖物是以色列人在一切的聖禮物上所分別為聖的。這牌要常在他的額上，使他們可以在耶和華面前蒙悅納。

28:39 要用雜色細麻線織內袍，用細麻布做冠冕，又用繡花的手工做腰帶。

28:40 「你要為亞倫的兒子做內袍、腰帶、裹頭巾，為榮耀，為華美。

28:41 要把這些給你的哥哥亞倫和他的兒子穿戴，又要膏他們，將他們分別為聖，好給我供祭司的職分。

28:42 要給他們做細麻布褲子，遮掩下體；褲子當從腰達到大腿。

28:43 亞倫和他兒子進入會幕，或就近壇，在聖所供職的時候必穿上，免得擔罪而死。這要為亞倫和他的後裔作永遠的定例。」

31 “Make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth, 32 with an opening for the head in its center. There shall be a woven edge like a collar[c] around this opening, so that it will not tear. 33 Make pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them. 34 The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe. 35 Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the Lord and when he comes out, so that he will not die.

36 “Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: holy to the Lord. 37 Fasten a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban; it is to be on the front of the turban. 38 It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and he will bear the guilt involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be. It will be on Aaron’s forehead continually so that they will be acceptable to the Lord.

39 “Weave the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen. The sash is to be the work of an embroiderer. 40 Make tunics, sashes and caps for Aaron’s sons to give them dignity and honor. 41 After you put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.

42 “Make linen undergarments as a covering for the body, reaching from the waist to the thigh. 43 Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not incur guilt and die.

“This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants.

    說到祭司的衣服，讓我們想到有罪的人怎能服事上帝呢﹖不是靠我們做什麼，而是需要外面的遮蓋，就像祭司需要衣服來遮蓋一樣，我們需要基督的遮蓋，正如保羅所說：「你們受洗歸入基督的都是披戴基督了。」(加拉太書3:27)

    既然我們有這樣的認識，我們必須以感恩的心來到上帝的面前，憑信心相信：要不是耶穌基督的保護與拯救，我們是不配成為上帝的兒女，也不能做有君尊的祭司，這不是我們敬虔換來的！

    反過來我們要因為自己蒙這樣的恩典，來感謝主定歸榮耀給上帝，要益發敬虔來感謝上帝如此的恩典，因為上帝的恩典時在浩大！
