Leviticus 8

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 Take Aaron, with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of anointing, a calf for sin, two rams, and a basket with 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 gather together all the assembly at the door of the tabernacle.

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

4 And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And when all the crowd was gathered together before the entrance of the tabernacle,

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

5 he said: “This is the word that the Lord has ordered to be done.”

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

6 And immediately, he brought forward Aaron and his sons. And when he had washed them,

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

7 he vested the high priest with the linen undergarment, wrapped him with the wide belt, and clothed him with the hyacinth tunic, and over it he imposed the ephod.

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 And tying it to the belt, he fitted it to the breastplate, on which was Doctrine and Truth.

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

9 Also, he wrapped the headdress on his head, and over it, opposite the forehead, he placed the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, just as the Lord had instructed 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 He also took up the oil of anointing, with which he anointed the tabernacle, along with all of its articles.

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

11 And when he had sprinkled the altar seven times to sanctify it, he anointed it and all its vessels. And the washtub with its base he sanctified with the oil.

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 And pouring the oil over Aaron’s head, he anointed and consecrated him.

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

13 Likewise, after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunics, and wrapped them with wide belts, and placed headdresses on them, just as the Lord had ordered.

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 He also offered the calf for sin. And when Aaron and his sons had placed their hands upon 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 he immolated it. And drawing the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar all around. And when it was expiated and sanctified, he poured out the remainder of the blood at its base.

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 Yet truly, the fat which was on the vital organs, and the mesh of the liver, and the two little kidneys with their fat, he burned upon 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 And the calf with the skin, and the flesh, and the dung, he burned beyond the camp, just as the Lord had instructed.

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 He also offered a ram as a holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons had imposed their hands upon 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 he immolated it, and he poured out its blood around the altar.

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

20 And cutting the ram into pieces, he burned its head, and the limbs, and the fat in the fire,

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

21 having first washed the intestines and the feet. And then he burned the whole of the ram upon the altar, because it was a holocaust of most sweet odor to the Lord, just as he had instructed him.

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 He also offered the second ram, as a consecration of priests. And Aaron and his sons placed their hands upon 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 And when Moses had immolated it, taking up some of its blood, he touched the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and similarly also his 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 He also offered the sons of Aaron. And when, from the blood of the ram which was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of each one, and the thumbs of their right hands, as well as their feet, he poured out the remainder upon the altar all around.

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 Yet truly, the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covers the intestines, and the mesh of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right shoulder, he separated.

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 Then, taking bread without leaven from the basket of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, and a cake sprinkled with oil, and a wafer, he placed them upon the fat and the right shoulder,

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 delivering all these to Aaron and his sons. And when they had lifted them up in the sight of the Lord,

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 he received them again from their hands, and he burned them upon the altar of holocaust, because it was an oblation of consecration, as a sweet odor of sacrifice 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 And he took his portion from the ram of consecration, and he lifted up its breast in the sight of the Lord, just as the Lord had instructed 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 And taking up the ointment, and the blood that was on the altar, he sprinkled it over Aaron and his vestments, and over his sons and their vestments.

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 when he had sanctified them with their vestments, he instructed them, saying: “Cook the flesh before the entrance of the tabernacle, and eat it there. Likewise, eat the loaves of consecration, which have been placed in the basket, just as the Lord instructed me, saying: ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat them.’

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 whatever will remain of the flesh and the loaves shall be consumed with fire.

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

33 Also, you shall not exit from the door of the tabernacle for seven days, until the day on which the time of your consecration shall be completed. For in seven days the consecration is finished,

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 even as it has begun at this present time, so that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished.

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

35 Day and night you shall remain in the tabernacle, observing the watches of the Lord, otherwise you shall die. For so it has been commanded to me.”

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 And Aaron and his sons did everything that the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.

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