Leviticus 8

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 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;

Take Aaron with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of unction, a calf for sin, two rams, a basket with unleavened bread,

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

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

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

And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And all the multitude being gathered together before the door of the tabernacle,

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

He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done.

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

And immediately he offered Aaron and his sons: and when he had washed them,

7 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.

He vested the high priest with the strait linen garment, girding him with the girdle, and putting on him the violet tunick, and over it he put the ephod,

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

And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on which was Doctrine and Truth.

9 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.

He put also the mitre upon his head: and upon the mitre over the forehead, he put the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, as the Lord had commanded him.

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

He took also the oil of unction, with which he anointed the tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof.

11 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.

And when he had sanctified and sprinkled the altar seven times, he anointed it, and all the vessels thereof, and the laver with the foot thereof, he sanctified with the oil.

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

And he poured it upon Aaron’s head, and he anointed and consecrated him:

13 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.

And after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunicks, and girded them with girdles, and put mitres on them as the Lord had commanded.

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

He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon the head thereof,

15 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.

He immolated it: and took the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar round about. Which being expiated, and sanctified, he poured the rest of the blood at the bottom thereof.

16 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;

But the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two little kidneys, with their fat, he burnt upon the altar:

17 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.

And the calf with the skin, and the flesh and the dung, he burnt without the camp, as the Lord had commanded.

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

He offered also a ram for a holocaust: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon its head,

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

He immolated it, and poured the blood thereof round about upon the altar.

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

And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, and the fat he burnt in the fire,

21 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.

Having first washed the entrails, and the feet, and the whole ram together he burnt upon the altar, because it was a holocaust of most sweet odour to the Lord, as he had commanded him.

22 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,

He offered also the second ram, in the consecration of priests: and Aaron, and his sons put their hands upon the head thereof:

23 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.

And when Moses had immolated it, he took of the blood thereof, and touched the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and in like manner also the great toe of his right foot.

24 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.

He offered also the sons of Aaron: and when with the blood of the ram that was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of every one of them, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet, the rest he poured on the altar round about:

25 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;

But the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and with the right shoulder, he separated.

26 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:

And taking out of the basket; of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, a loaf without leaven, and a cake tempered with oil and a wafer, he put them upon the fat, and the right shoulder,

27 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.

Delivering all to Aaron, and to his sons: wile having lifted them up before the Lord,

28 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.

He took them again from their hands, and burnt them upon the altar of holocaust, because it was the oblation of consecration, for a sweet odour of sacrifice to the Lord.

29 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.

And he took of the ram of consecration, the breast for his portion, elevating it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him.

30 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.

And taking the ointment, and the blood that was upon the altar, he sprinkled Aaron, and his vestments, and his sons, and their vestments with it.

31 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.

And when he had sanctified them in their vestments, he commanded them, saying: Boil the flesh before the door of the tabernacle, and there eat it. Eat ye also the loaves of consecration, that are laid in the basket, as the Lord commanded me, saying: Aaron and his sons shall eat them:

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

And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and the leaves, shall be consumed with fire.

33 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.

And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle for seven days, until the day wherein the time of your consecration shall be expired. For in seven days the consecration is finished:

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

As at this present it hath been done, that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished.

35 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.

Day and night shall you remain in the tabernacle observing the watches of the Lord, lest you die: for so it hath been commanded me.

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

And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
