Leviticus 8

1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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

And thou shalt gather together all the congregation to the door of the tabernacle.

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

And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And all the multitude being gathered together before the door of the tabernacle,

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

He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done.

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

And immediately he offered Aaron and his sons: and when he had washed them,

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

And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on which was Doctrine and Truth.

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.

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 habitation and all that was therein, —and hallowed 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 anointed the altar, and all the utensils thereof and the laver and its stand to hallow 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 the head of Aaron, —and anointed him, to hallow 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 tunics and girded them with bands, and wrapped round for them turbans, —As Yahweh 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 Then was led near the sin-bearing bullock, —and Aaron and his sons leaned their hands upon the head of the sin-bearing bullock,

He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon the head thereof,

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.

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 on the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, —and Moses made a perfume at 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 itself, and its skin and its flesh and its dung, consumed he with fire, outside the camp, —As Yahweh 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 Then was brought near the ram for the ascending-sacrifice, —and Aaron and his sons leaned 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 it was slain, —and Moses dashed the blood against the altar round about;

He immolated it, and poured the blood thereof round about upon 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;

And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, and the fat he burnt in the fire,

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.

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 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;

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 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.

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 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.

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 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;

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-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 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 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.

Delivering all to Aaron, and to his sons: wile having lifted them up before the Lord,

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.

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 waved it as a wave-offering, before Yahweh, —of the ram of installation, unto Moses it belonged, as a portion, As Yahweh 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 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.

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

And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and the leaves, shall be consumed with fire.

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:

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

As at this present it hath been done, that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished.

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.

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 Yahweh had commanded through the mediation of Moses.

And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
