    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The priests are consecrated from ear to toe: blood touches Aaron’s and his sons’ right earlobes, right thumbs, and right big toes, before the altar receives the rest.

    Aaron is washed, dressed, and marked for servicevv. 1–9

    Aaron and his sons are brought to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and washed. Aaron is dressed in the tunic, robe, ephod, breastplate, waistband, turban, and holy diadem; oil is poured on his head, while his sons receive tunics, sashes, and headbands. The priesthood is then theirs by permanent statute—a remarkably elaborate outfit for a permanent statute.

    Three offerings, and blood in very particular placesvv. 10–28

    The bull is laid hands upon, slaughtered, divided, and given two destinations: its fat goes on the altar, while its flesh, hide, and dung are burned outside the camp as a sin offering. One ram becomes a whole burnt offering. The second ram supplies blood for the altar and for the priests themselves—right earlobes, right thumbs, and right big toes—after which blood and oil are sprinkled over people and garments. Bread, meat, and the designated portions are waved, burned, or given to Aaron and his sons, with the breast of the ram becoming a portion.

    Seven days, two lambs, and a dwelling among Israelvv. 29–46

    Aaron’s holy garments pass to the son who succeeds him, who wears them for seven days. The ordination lasts seven days too, with a bull sacrificed each day for atonement and the altar made most holy. Thereafter two lambs are offered daily, one in the morning and one at twilight, accompanied by flour, oil, and wine. At the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the LORD will meet with Israel, consecrate the place by glory, and dwell among the Israelites as their God—the chapter ends with the memory of Egypt still attached to that dwelling.

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
