Leviticus 8

1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 Take thou Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, —and the sin-bearing bullock, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened cakes;

“Take Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

3 and all the assembly, call thou together, —unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.

and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.”

4 And Moses did, as Yahweh commanded him, —and the assembly was called together, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.

So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

5 Then said Moses unto the assembly, —This is the thing, which Yahweh hath commanded to be done.

And Moses said to them, “This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.”

6 So Moses brought near Aaron and his sons, —and bathed them with water,

Then Moses presented Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

7 and put upon him the tunic and girded him with the band, and clothed him with the robe, and put upon him the ephod, and girded him with the curiously-woven band of the ephod, and bound it to him therewith;

He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He tied the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.

8 and he put upon him the breastpiece, —and placed, in the breastpiece, the Lights and the Perfections;

Then he put the breastpiece on him and placed the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.

9 and he put the turban upon his head, —and put upon the turban, on the forefront thereof the burnished plate of gold—the holy crown, As Yahweh commanded Moses.

Moses also put the turban on Aaron’s head and set the gold plate, the holy diadem, on the front of the turban, as the LORD had commanded him.

10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the habitation and all that was therein, —and hallowed them;

Next, Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it; and so he consecrated them.

11 and he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, —and anointed the altar, and all the utensils thereof and the laver and its stand to hallow them

He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, anointing the altar and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand, to consecrate them.

12 and he poured of the anointing oil, upon the head of Aaron, —and anointed him, to hallow him.

He also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him.

13 And Moses brought near the sons of Aaron and clothed them with tunics and girded them with bands, and wrapped round for them turbans, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

Then Moses presented Aaron’s sons, put tunics on them, wrapped sashes around them, and tied headbands on them, just as the LORD had commanded him.

14 Then was led near the sin-bearing bullock, —and Aaron and his sons leaned their hands upon the head of the sin-bearing bullock,

Moses then brought the bull near for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

15 Then was it slain, and Moses took the blood and put [thereof] upon the horns of the altar round about, with his finger, and cleansed the altar from sin, —and the [remainder of the] blood, poured he forth at the base of the altar, and hallowed it putting a propitiatory-covering thereupon.

Moses slaughtered the bull, took some of the blood, and applied it with his finger to all four horns of the altar, purifying the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it so that atonement could be made on it.

16 And he took all the fat that was on the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, —and Moses made a perfume at the altar.

Moses also took all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys and their fat, and burned it all on the altar.

17 But the bullock itself, and its skin and its flesh and its dung, consumed he with fire, outside the camp, —As Yahweh commanded Moses,

But the bull with its hide, flesh, and dung he burned outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded him.

18 Then was brought near the ram for the ascending-sacrifice, —and Aaron and his sons leaned their hands upon the head of the ram;

Then Moses presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

19 and it was slain, —and Moses dashed the blood against the altar round about;

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

20 and the ram itself, was cut up into its pieces, —and Moses made a perfume with the head and with the pieces and with the fat;

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

21 but the inwards and the legs, were bathed in water, —and Moses made a perfume with the whole ram at the altar, an ascending-sacrifice, it was—for a satisfying odour an altar-flame, it was unto Yahweh, As Yahweh commanded Moses.

He washed the entrails and legs with water and burned the entire ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

22 Then was brought near the second ram, the ram of installation, and Aaron and his sons leaned their hands upon the head of the ram;

After that, Moses presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

23 and it was slain, and Moses took of the blood thereof, and put 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.

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

24 Then were brought near the sons of Aaron, 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.

Moses also presented Aaron’s sons 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 the blood on all sides of the altar.

25 And he took the fat and the fat-tail, and all the fat that was on the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, —and the right shoulder;

And Moses took the fat—the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with their fat—as well as the right thigh.

26 and out of the basket of unleavened-cakes that was before Yahweh, took he one round unleavened-cake and one round oil-cake, and one wafer, and put them upon the fat portions, and upon the right shoulder;

And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.

27 and placed the whole upon the opened palms of Aaron, and upon the opened palms of his sons, —and waved them as a wave-offering, before Yahweh.

He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and waved them before the LORD as a wave offering.

28 And Moses took them from off their opened palms, and made a perfume at the altar upon the ascending-sacrifice, —an installation, they were for a satisfying odour, an altar-flame, it was unto Yahweh.

Then Moses took these from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

29 And Moses took the breast, and waved it as a wave-offering, before Yahweh, —of the ram of installation, unto Moses it belonged, as a portion, As Yahweh commanded Moses.

He also took the breast—Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination—and waved it before the LORD as a wave offering, as the LORD had commanded him.

30 And Moses took of the anointing oil and of the blood that was upon the altar, and sprinkled upon Aaron, upon his garments, and upon his sons and upon the garments of his sons with him, —and hallowed Aaron, his garments, and his sons and the garments of his sons with him.

Next, Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated Aaron and his garments, as well as Aaron’s sons and their garments.

31 And Moses said unto Aaron and unto his sons Boil ye the flesh, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and there, shall ye eat it, and the bread which is in the basket of installation, —as I have been commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons, shall eat it.

And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons are to eat it.’

32 But, that which is left of the flesh, and of the bread, with fire, shall ye consume.

Then you must burn up the remainder of the meat and bread.

33 And from the entrance of the tent of meeting, shall ye not go forth for seven days, until the day that filleth up the days of your installation, —because for seven days, will he install you:

You must not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are complete; for it will take seven days to ordain you.

34 as hath been done this day, [so] hath Yahweh commanded to be done, to put a propitiatory-covering over you.

What has been done today has been commanded by the LORD in order to make atonement on your behalf.

35 Even at the entrance of the tent of meeting, shall ye abide day and night for seven days, and shall keep the watch of Yahweh and shall not die, —for, so, am I commanded.

You must remain at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting day and night for seven days and keep the LORD’s charge so that you will not die, for this is what I have been commanded.”

36 And Aaron and his sons did all the things which Yahweh had commanded through the mediation of Moses.

So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD had commanded through Moses.
