Leviticus 8

1 The Lord told Moses,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

2 “Go with Aaron and his sons, and take their priestly clothes, anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, two rams, and the basket of bread made without yeast,

'Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;

3 and have everyone assemble at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.”

and assemble thou all the congregation at the door of the tent of meeting.'

4 Moses did as the Lord instructed him, and everyone gathered at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the tent of meeting.

5 Moses told them, “The following is what the Lord has ordered to be done.”

And Moses said unto the congregation: 'This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded to be done.'

6 Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward, and he washed them with water.

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

7 He dressed Aaron with the tunic, tied the sash around him, put the robe on him and then the ephod. He tied the waistband of the ephod around him, fastening it to him.

And he put upon him the tunic, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.

8 Then Moses attached the breastpiece to Aaron and put the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.

And he placed the breastplate upon him; and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim.

9 He put the turban on Aaron's head and placed the gold plate, the holy crown, on the front of the turban, as the Lord had instructed him to do.

And he set the mitre upon his head; and upon the mitre, in front, did he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.

10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the Tabernacle and everything in it to dedicate it all.

And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.

11 He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times to anoint it and all its utensils, as well as the basin with its stand to dedicate them.

And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them.

12 Moses poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head to anoint him and to dedicate him.

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

13 Then Moses had Aaron's sons come forward, dressed them tunics in them, tied sashes around them, and wrapped headbands on them, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and clothed them with tunics, and girded them with girdles, and bound head-tires upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.

14 Moses brought the bull over for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

And the bullock of the sin-offering was brought; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock of the sin-offering.

15 Moses killed the bull and took some of the blood. He used his finger to put the blood on all four horns of the altar to dedicate it and purify it. He poured out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar, and consecrated the altar so that it could be used to make people right.

And when it was slain, Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the remaining blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.

16 Moses took all the fat that covers the insides, the best part of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, burned all of it on the altar.

And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses made it smoke upon the altar.

17 But the rest of the bull—the skin, the meat, and the waste he burned outside the camp, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

But the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, were burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.

18 Moses brought the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

And the ram of the burnt-offering was presented; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

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

And when it was killed, Moses dashed the blood against the altar round about.

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

And when the ram was cut into its pieces, Moses made the head, and the pieces, and the suet smoke.

21 He washed the insides and legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering to be accepted by the Lord, as the Lord had ordered Moses to do.

And when the inwards and the legs were washed with water, Moses made the whole ram smoke upon the altar; it was a burnt-offering for a sweet savour; it was an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

22 Moses brought the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

And the other ram was presented, the ram of consecration, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

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

And when it was slain, Moses took of the blood thereof, 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 Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward 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 blood on all sides of the altar.

And Aaron's sons were brought, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot; and Moses dashed the blood against the altar round about.

25 Moses took the fat, including the fat tail, all the fat on the insides, the best part of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them Moses took the fat—together with the right thigh.

And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh.

26 He took one loaf of bread without yeast, one loaf made with olive oil, and one wafer from the basket of bread without yeast that was in the presence of the Lord. He placed them on top of the portions of fat and on the right thigh.

And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and upon the right thigh.

27 Then he gave them to Aaron and his sons, and waved them before the Lord as a wave offering.

And he put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and waved them for a wave-offering before the LORD.

28 After this Moses took them back and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering, a food offering to be accepted by the Lord.

And Moses took them from off their hands, and made them smoke on the altar upon the burnt-offering; they were a consecration-offering for a sweet savour; it was an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

29 Moses then took the breast, his share of the ordination ram, and waved it before the Lord as a wave offering, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave-offering before the LORD; it was Moses' portion of the ram of consecration; as the LORD commanded Moses.

30 Moses then took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood from the altar. He sprinkled both of them on the clothes of Aaron and his sons. This is how he dedicated he dedicated the clothes of Aaron and his sons.

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 Moses told Aaron and his sons, “You are to boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and then eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of offerings for the ordination, as I ordered: ‘It is for Aaron and his sons to eat.’

And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons: 'Boil the flesh at the door of 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 shall eat it.

32 Afterwards you must burn what's left over of the meat and bread.

And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.

33 You are not to leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days until the ordination ceremony is completed, because your ordination will take seven days.

And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration be fulfilled; for He shall consecrate you seven days.

34 What was done today was ordered by the Lord as a means of making you right.

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

35 You must stay at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days, day and night, and follow the Lord's commands so that you will not die, for this is what I have been ordered to do.”

And at the door of the tent of meeting shall ye abide day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not; for so I am commanded.

36 Aaron and his sons did everything that the Lord had ordered through Moses.

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