Leviticus 8

1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

The Lord told Moses,

2 "Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;

“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,

3 and assemble all the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting."

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

4 Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

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

5 Moses said to the congregation, "This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded to be done."

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

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

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

7 He put the coat on him, tied the sash on him, clothed him with the robe, put the ephod on him, and he tied the skillfully woven band of the ephod on him, and fastened it to him with it.

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.

8 He placed the breastplate on him; and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim.

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

9 He set the turban on his head; and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

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.

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

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

11 He sprinkled it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the basin and its base, to sanctify them.

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.

12 He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.

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

13 Moses brought Aaron's sons, and clothed them with coats, and tied sashes on them, and put headbands on them; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

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.

14 He brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

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

15 He killed it; and Moses took the blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.

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.

16 He took all the fat that was on the entrails, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it on the altar.

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.

17 But the bull, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

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.

18 He presented the ram of the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

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

19 He killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar.

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

20 He cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

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

21 He washed the entrails and the legs with water; and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

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.

22 He presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

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

23 He killed it; and Moses took some of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

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.

24 He brought Aaron's sons; and Moses put some of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar.

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.

25 He took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the entrails, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh;

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.

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

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.

27 He put all these in Aaron's hands and in his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before Jehovah.

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

28 Moses took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar on the burnt offering. They were a consecration for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to Jehovah.

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.

29 Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before Jehovah. It was Moses' portion of the ram of consecration, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

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.

30 Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

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.

31 Moses said to 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.'

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.’

32 What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.

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

33 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days.

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.

34 What has been done this day, so Jehovah has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

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

35 You shall stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night seven days, and keep Jehovah's command, that you do not die: for so I am commanded."

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.”

36 Aaron and his sons did all the things which Jehovah commanded by Moses.

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