Leviticus 8

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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 garments, and the anointing oil, and a bull for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;

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

And gather thou all the congregation together to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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 commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

And Moses said to the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.

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

And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed 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.

And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the waistband, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the beautifully woven band of the ephod, and bound it to him with it.

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

And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the 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 he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his front, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded 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 anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them.

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.

And he sprinkled part of it upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, both the laver and its foot, to sanctify them.

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

And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.

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.

And Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with waistbands, and put headdresses upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

And he brought the bull for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bull for the sin offering.

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 slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it around upon the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.

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 that was upon the inwards, and the fat above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon 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 bull, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire outside the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

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

And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood around upon the altar.

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

And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

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 he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire to the LORD; as the LORD commanded 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 brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

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 slew it; and Moses took of its blood, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon 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.

And he brought Aaron’s sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood around upon 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 rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the fat above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:

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, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:

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 all upon Aaron’s hands, and upon his sons’ hands, and waved 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 off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is 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, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses’ part; as the LORD commanded 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 of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments 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, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.

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

And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn 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 ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration shall be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.

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

As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.

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.”

Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.

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

So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
