< 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 for the sin-offering, and the two rams, 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 all the congregation shalt thou assemble together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
And thou shalt gather together all the congregation to the door of the tabernacle.
4 And Moses did as the Lord had commanded him; and the assembly came together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 unto the congregation, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded to do.
He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done.
6 And Moses brought near Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
And immediately he offered Aaron and his sons: and when he had washed them,
7 And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put upon him the ephod, and he girded him with the belt of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.
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 on him the breastplate; and he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on which was Doctrine and Truth.
9 And he put the mitre upon his head; and he placed upon the mitre, toward the front thereof, the golden plate, the holy crown; as the Lord had commanded 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 anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
He took also the oil of unction, with which he anointed the tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof.
11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times; and he anointed the altar and all its vessels, also the laver and its foot, to sanctify them.
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 he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and he anointed him, to sanctify him.
And he poured it upon Aaron’s head, and he anointed and consecrated him:
13 And Moses brought near the sons of Aaron, and clothed them with coats, and girded them with girdles, and bound the bonnets on them; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
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 brought near the bullock of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock of the sin-offering.
He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon the head thereof,
15 And some one slew him; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and the [remaining] blood he poured out at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make henceforth atonement upon it.
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 that was upon the inwards, and the midriff of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burnt them upon 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 bullock, and his hide, and his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the Lord had commanded 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 brought near the ram of the burnt-offering; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
He offered also a ram for a holocaust: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon its head,
19 And some one killed him; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
He immolated it, and poured the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
20 And the ram he cut into the proper pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, and the fat he burnt in the fire,
21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt-sacrifice for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the Lord; as the Lord had commanded 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 brought near the other ram, the ram of consecration; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
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 some one slew him; and Moses took some of his blood, 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, 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 And he brought near Aaron's sons, and Moses put some 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 sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
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 rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the midriff of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder;
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, that was before the Lord, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and he put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder;
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 placed the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and made with them a waving before the Lord.
Delivering all to Aaron, and to his sons: wile having lifted them up before the Lord,
28 And Moses then took these things from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt-offering: they were a consecration-offering for a sweet savor, a fire-offering were they unto 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, and made therewith a waving before the Lord; from the ram of consecration was it given to Moses as his portion; as the Lord had commanded 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 anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled the same upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and his sons with sanctified upon the garments of him; and he Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons 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 unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil ye the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and there shall ye eat it with the bread that is in the basket of the consecration; as I have commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
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 left of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and the leaves, shall be consumed with fire.
33 And from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation shall ye not go forth seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end; for seven days shall your consecration last.
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 As they have done this day, so hath the Lord commanded to do farther, to make an atonement for you.
As at this present it hath been done, that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished.
35 And at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation shall ye abide day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord, that ye die not; for so have I been commanded.
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 which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
