Leviticus 8

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 '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;

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

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

and gather together all the assembly at the door of the tabernacle.

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 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.

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.

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

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

9 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.

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.

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

He also took up the oil of anointing, with which he anointed the tabernacle, along with all of its articles.

11 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.

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.

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

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

13 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.

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.

14 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.

He also offered the calf for sin. And when Aaron and his sons had placed their hands upon its head,

15 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.

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.

16 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.

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.

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

And the calf with the skin, and the flesh, and the dung, he burned beyond the camp, just as the Lord had instructed.

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

He also offered a ram as a holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons had imposed their hands upon its head,

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

he immolated it, and he poured out its blood around the altar.

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

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

21 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.

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.

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

He also offered the second ram, as a consecration of priests. And Aaron and his sons placed their hands upon its head.

23 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.

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.

24 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.

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.

25 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.

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.

26 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.

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,

27 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.

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

28 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.

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.

29 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.

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.

30 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.

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.

31 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.

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.’

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

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

33 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.

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,

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

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

35 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.

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.”

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

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