Then the LORD gave the following instructions. Before Aaron goes into the Most Holy Place, he must take a bath and put on the priestly garments: the linen robe and shorts, the belt, and the turban.

"Weave Aaron's shirt of fine linen and make a turban of fine linen and also a sash decorated with embroidery.

Put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons. Then ordain them and dedicate them by anointing them with olive oil, so that they may serve me as priests.

Aaron and his sons must always wear them when they go into the Tent of my presence or approach the altar to serve as priests in the Holy Place, so that they will not be killed for exposing themselves. This is a permanent rule for Aaron and his descendants.

They made the shirts for Aaron and his sons,

and the sash of fine linen and of blue, purple, and red wool, decorated with embroidery, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

When they enter the gateway to the inner courtyard of the Temple, they are to put on linen clothing. They must not wear anything made of wool when they are on duty in the inner courtyard or in the Temple.

So that they won't perspire, they are to wear linen turbans and linen trousers, but no belt.

One of the elders asked me, "Who are these people dressed in white robes, and where do they come from?"

She has been given clean shining linen to wear." (The linen is the good deeds of God's people.)

The armies of heaven followed him, riding on white horses and dressed in clean white linen.

You must wash the internal organs and the hind legs, and the officiating priest will burn the whole sacrifice on the altar. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the LORD.

You must wash the internal organs and the hind legs, and the priest will present the sacrifice to the LORD and burn all of it on the altar. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the LORD.

He shall take hold of its wings and tear its body open, without tearing the wings off, and then burn it whole on the altar. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the LORD.

"Move back from these people, and I will destroy them immediately."

Then the LORD sent a fire that blazed out and burned up the 250 men who had presented the incense.

May he accept all your offerings and be pleased with all your sacrifices.

But the wicked will die; the enemies of the LORD will vanish like wild flowers; they will disappear like smoke.

He shall remove the crop and its contents and throw them away on the east side of the altar where the ashes are put.
