Leviticus 8

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 “Take Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

Take Aaron, and his sons with him, and the robes and the holy oil and the ox of the sin-offering and the two male sheep and the basket of unleavened bread;

3 and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.”

And let all the people come together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

4 So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

And Moses did as the Lord said, and all the people came together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

5 And Moses said to them, “This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.”

And Moses said to the people, This is what the Lord has given orders to be done.

6 Then Moses presented Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

Then Moses took Aaron and his sons; and after washing them with water,

7 He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He tied the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.

He put the coat on him, making it tight with its band, and then the robe, and over it the ephod, with its band of needlework to keep it in place.

8 Then he put the breastpiece on him and placed the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.

And he put the priest's bag on him, and in the bag he put the Urim and Thummim.

9 Moses also put the turban on Aaron’s head and set the gold plate, the holy diadem, on the front of the turban, as the LORD had commanded him.

And on his head he put the head-dress, and in front of the head-dress the plate of gold, the holy crown, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

10 Next, Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it; and so he consecrated them.

And Moses took the holy oil and put it on the House and on all the things in it, to make them holy.

11 He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, anointing the altar and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand, to consecrate them.

Seven times he put oil on the altar and on all its vessels, and on the washing-basin and its base, to make them holy.

12 He also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him.

And some of the oil he put on Aaron's head, to make him holy.

13 Then Moses presented Aaron’s sons, put tunics on them, wrapped sashes around them, and tied headbands on them, just as the LORD had commanded him.

Then he took Aaron's sons, clothing them with the coats, and putting the bands round them, and the head-dresses on their heads, as the Lord had given him orders.

14 Moses then brought the bull near for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

And he took the ox of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the ox,

15 Moses slaughtered the bull, took some of the blood, and applied it with his finger to all four horns of the altar, purifying the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it so that atonement could be made on it.

And he put it to death; and Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar and round it with his finger, and made the altar clean, draining out the blood at the base of the altar; so he made it holy, taking away what was unclean.

16 Moses also took all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys and their fat, and burned it all on the altar.

And he took all the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, to be burned on the altar;

17 But the bull with its hide, flesh, and dung he burned outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded him.

But the ox, with its skin and its flesh and its waste, was burned with fire outside the tent-circle, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

18 Then Moses presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

And he put the male sheep of the burned offering before the Lord, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head,

19 Moses slaughtered the ram and sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

And he put it to death; and Moses put some of the blood on and round the altar.

20 He cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat.

And when the sheep had been cut into parts, the head and the parts and the fat were burned by Moses.

21 He washed the entrails and legs with water and burned the entire ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And the inside parts and the legs were washed with water and all the sheep was burned by Moses on the altar; it was a burned offering for a sweet smell: it was an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

22 After that, Moses presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

And he put the other sheep before the Lord, the sheep with which they were made priests; and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the sheep,

23 Moses slaughtered the ram and took some of its blood and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

And he put it to death; and Moses took some of the blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot.

24 Moses also presented Aaron’s sons and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then he sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

Then he took Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the point of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet: and Moses put the blood on and round the altar.

25 And Moses took the fat—the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with their fat—as well as the right thigh.

And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right leg;

26 And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.

And out of the basket of unleavened bread which was before the Lord he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of bread with oil on it, and one thin cake, and put them on the fat and on the right leg:

27 He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and waved them before the LORD as a wave offering.

And he put them all on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord.

28 Then Moses took these from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

And Moses took them from their hands, and they were burned on the altar on the burned offering, as a priest's offering for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

29 He also took the breast—Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination—and waved it before the LORD as a wave offering, as the LORD had commanded him.

And Moses took the breast, waving it for a wave offering before the Lord; it was Moses' part of the sheep of the priest's offering, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

30 Next, Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated Aaron and his garments, as well as Aaron’s sons and their garments.

And Moses took some of the holy oil and of the blood which was on the altar and put it on Aaron and on his robes, and on his sons and on his sons' robes; and made Aaron holy, and his robes and his sons and his sons' robes with him.

31 And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons are to eat it.’

And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, The flesh is to be cooked in water at the door of the Tent of meeting, and there you are to take it as food, together with the bread in the basket, as I have given orders, saying, It is the food of Aaron and his sons.

32 Then you must burn up the remainder of the meat and bread.

And that which is over of the flesh and of the bread is to be burned with fire.

33 You must not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are complete; for it will take seven days to ordain you.

And you are not to go out from the door of the Tent of meeting for seven days, till the days for making you priest are ended; for this will be the work of seven days.

34 What has been done today has been commanded by the LORD in order to make atonement on your behalf.

What has been done this day, has been ordered by the Lord to take away your sin.

35 You must remain at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting day and night for seven days and keep the LORD’s charge so that you will not die, for this is what I have been commanded.”

And you are to keep watch for the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting day and night for seven days, so that death may not come to you: for so he has given me orders.

36 So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD had commanded through Moses.

And Aaron and his sons did all the things about which the Lord had given orders through Moses.
