Leviticus 8

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

Yahweh 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 and his sons with him, the garments and the anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread.

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

Assemble all the assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”

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

So Moses did as Yahweh commanded him, and the assembly came together at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

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

Then Moses said to the assembly, “This is what Yahweh has commanded to be done.”

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

Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

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 put on Aaron the tunic and tied the sash around his waist, clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him, and then he tied the ephod around him with the finely-woven waistband and bound it to him.

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

He placed the breastpiece on him, and in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim.

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 set the turban on his head, and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown, as Yahweh 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.

Moses took the anointing oil, anointed the tabernacle and everything in it and set them apart to Yahweh.

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.

He sprinkled the oil on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the washbasin and its base, to set them apart to Yahweh.

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

He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to set him apart.

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.

Moses brought Aaron's sons and clothed them with tunics. He tied sashes around their waists and wrapped linen cloth around their heads, as Yahweh had commanded him.

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

Moses brought the bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull that they had brought for the sin offering.

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 killed it, and he took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar with his finger, purified the altar, poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and set it apart for God in order to make atonement for it.

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;

He took all the fat that was on the inner parts, the covering of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses burned it all on 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.

But the bull, its hide, its meat, and its dung he burned outside the camp, as Yahweh had commanded him.

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,

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

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

He killed it and sprinkled its blood against every side of the altar.

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

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

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.

He washed the inner parts and the legs with water, and he burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering and produced a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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,

Then Moses presented the other ram, the ram of consecration, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

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.

Aaron killed it, and Moses took some of its blood and put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big 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 brought Aaron's sons, and he put some of the blood on the tip of their right ear, on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot. Then Moses sprinkled its blood against every side of the altar.

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;

He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat that was on the inner parts, the covering of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh.

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:

Out of the basket of bread without yeast that was before Yahweh, he took one loaf without yeast, and one loaf of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat and on the right thigh.

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.

He put it all in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons and waved them before Yahweh as a wave offering.

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.

Then Moses took them from off their hands and burned them on the altar for the burnt offering. They were a consecration offering and produced a sweet aroma. It was an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

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.

Moses took the breast and waved it as a wave offering to Yahweh. It was Moses' share of the ram for the priests' ordination, as Yahweh 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.

Moses took some of the anointing oil and the blood that was on the altar; he sprinkled these on Aaron, on his clothes, on his sons, and on his sons' clothes with him. In this way he set apart Aaron and his clothes, and his sons and their clothes to Yahweh.

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.

So Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons will eat it.'

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

Whatever remains of the meat and of the bread you must burn.

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.

You must not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are fulfilled. For Yahweh will consecrate you for seven days.

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

What has been done this day— Yahweh has commanded to be done to make atonement for you.

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.

You will stay day and night for seven days at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and keep the command of Yahweh, so you will not die, because this is what I have been commanded.”

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

So Aaron and his sons did all the things which Yahweh had commanded them through Moses.
