And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
2 “Bring Aaron and his sons, and bring their (special clothes/clothes [that they will wear while they do the work of priests)], the oil for anointing them, the bull to be offered to cause them to become forgiven for the sins they have committed, the two rams [to be slaughtered], and the basket containing bread made without yeast.
Take Aaron and sons his with him and the garments and [the] oil of anointing and - [the] bull of the sin offering and [the] two the rams and [the] basket of unleavened bread.
3 Then gather all the people at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.”
And all the congregation assemble to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting.
4 Moses/I did what Yahweh told him/me to do, and all the people gathered there.
And he did Moses just as he had commanded Yahweh him and it assembled the congregation to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting.
5 Then Moses/I said to the people, “This is what Yahweh has commanded us to do.”
And he said Moses to the congregation this [is] the word which he has commanded Yahweh to do.
6 Then he/I brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them.
And he presented Moses Aaron and sons his and he washed them with water.
7 He/I put the special tunic/shirt on Aaron, tied the sash/waistband around him, put on him the special robe, and put on him the sacred vest/apron. He/I fastened the sacred vest/apron around him, using the skillfully woven sash.
And he put on him the tunic and he girded him with the sash and he clothed him the robe and he put on him the ephod and he girded him with [the] girdle of the ephod and he girded [the] ephod to him with it.
8 He/I put the sacred pouch on his chest and put into it the two stones for him to use to find out what God wants.
And he placed on him the breastpiece and he put into the breastpiece the Urim and the Thummim.
9 Then he/I wrapped the turban around Aaron’s head, and fastened on the front of it the gold ornament, the object that showed that he was dedicated to God, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
And he placed the turban on head his and he placed on the turban to [the] front of face his [the] plate of gold [the] crown of holiness just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
10 Then Moses/I took the olive oil and anointed the sacred tent and everything in it, and dedicated them [to Yahweh].
And he took Moses [the] oil of anointing and he anointed the tabernacle and all that [was] in it and he set apart as holy them.
11 He/I sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times. He/I anointed the altar and all the things used with it, and its huge washbasin and its stand, to dedicate them to Yahweh.
And he spattered some of it on the altar seven times and he anointed the altar and all utensils its and the laver and base its to set apart as holy them.
12 He/I poured some of the oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to dedicate him to Yahweh.
And he poured some of [the] oil of anointing on [the] head of Aaron and he anointed him to set apart as holy him.
13 Then he/I brought forward Aaron’s sons. He/I put tunics/shirts on them, tied sashes/waistbands around them, and wrapped turbans around their heads, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
And he presented Moses [the] sons of Aaron and he clothed them tunics and he girded them a sash and he bound on to them headdresses just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
14 Then he/I brought the bull for the offering to cause people to be forgiven for the sins that have committed. Then Aaron and his sons put their hands on the bull’s head.
And he brought near [the] bull of the sin offering and he leaned Aaron and sons his hands their on [the] head of [the] bull of the sin offering.
15 Then Moses/I slaughtered the bull, [caught some of its blood in a bowl], and with his/my finger put some of that blood on the projections at the corners of the altar, to purify the altar. He/I poured the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. By doing that, he/I caused it to be a suitable place for burning sacrifices for sin.
And he cut [the] throat of [it] and he took Moses the blood and he put [it] on [the] horns of the altar all around with finger his and he cleansed from sin the altar and the blood he poured to [the] base of the altar and he set apart as holy it to make atonement on it.
16 Moses/I took all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, including the liver and kidneys, and burned them on the altar.
And he took all the fat which [was] on the entrails and [the] lobe of the liver and [the] two the kidneys and fat their and he made [them] smoke Moses the altar towards.
17 He/I took the rest of the bull, including the hide and intestines, and burned them outside the camp, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
And the bull and hide its and flesh its and offal its he burned with fire from [the] outside of the camp just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
18 Then he/I brought the ram for the offering that would be completely burned [on the altar], and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.
And he presented [the] ram of the burnt offering and they leaned Aaron and sons his hands their on [the] head of the ram.
19 Then Moses/I slaughtered the ram and sprinkled its blood on all sides of the altar.
And he cut [the] throat of [it] and he sprinkled Moses the blood on the altar all around.
20 He/I cut the ram into pieces and washed the inner parts and hind legs. Then he/I put the head, the fat, and the other parts of the ram on the altar. As it burned, the aroma of the smoke was pleasing to Yahweh. It was an offering to Yahweh that was burned, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
And the ram he cut in pieces into pieces its and he made smoke Moses the head and the pieces and the suet.
And the entrails and the legs he washed with water and he made smoke Moses all the ram the altar towards [was] a burnt offering it to an odor of soothing [was] a fire offering it to Yahweh just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
22 Then he/I brought the other ram, the one for consecrating the priests, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.
And he presented the ram second [the] ram of installation offering and they leaned Aaron and sons his hands their on [the] head of the ram.
23 Moses/I slaughtered that ram, [drained some of its blood in a bowl], and put some of that blood on the lobes of the right ears, the thumbs of the right hands, and the big toes of the right feet of Aaron and his sons [to indicate that what they listened to and what they did and where they went should be directed by Yahweh].

25 He/I picked up all the fat of the ram, its fat tail, the fat that covered the inner parts, including the fat that covered the liver and kidneys, and the right thigh of the ram.
And he took the fat and the fat tail and all the fat which [was] on the entrails and [the] lobe of the liver and [the] two the kidneys and fat their and [the] thigh of the right.
26 Then from the basket containing the bread that was made without yeast, the bread which had been dedicated to Yahweh, he/I picked up one loaf of bread [made without olive oil], and one loaf that was [made by mixing the flour] with olive oil, and one wafer. He/I put those on top of the portions of fat, and put them into the hands of Aaron and his sons. Then they lifted them up in the presence of Yahweh [to indicate that it was an offering that belonged to him].
And from [the] basket of unleavened bread which - [was] before Yahweh he took a round perforated bread of unleavened bread one and a round perforated bread of bread of oil one and a thin bread one and he placed [them] on the fat and on [the] thigh of the right.
And he put everything on [the] palms of Aaron and on [the] palms of sons his and he waved them a wave-offering before Yahweh.
28 Then Moses/I took those things from their hands and burned them on the altar. That was the offering that was burned to appoint Aaron and his sons as priests. And the aroma while it burned was pleasing to Yahweh.
And he took Moses them from on palms their and he made [them] smoke the altar towards on the burnt offering [were] installation offerings they to an odor of soothing [was] a fire offering it to Yahweh.
29 Moses/I also took the breast of the second ram and lifted it up, as Yahweh had commanded. The breast was Moses’/my share of the ram that was sacrificed to dedicate the priests.
And he took Moses the breast and he waved it a wave-offering before Yahweh from [the] ram of installation offering to Moses it belonged to a portion just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
30 Then Moses/I took some of the olive oil for anointing [Aaron and his sons], and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his sons and on their clothes. By doing that, he/I consecrated Aaron and his sons and their clothes.
And he took Moses some of [the] oil of anointing and some of the blood which [was] on the altar and he spattered [it] on Aaron on garments his and on sons his and on [the] garments of sons his with him and he set apart as holy Aaron garments his and sons his and [the] garments of sons his with him.
31 Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat [of the second ram] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket, like I told you to do.
And he said Moses to Aaron and to sons his boil the meat [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting and there you will eat it and the bread which [is] in [the] basket of the installation offering just as I commanded saying Aaron and sons his they will eat it.
32 Burn up any of the meat and bread that remains.
And the remainder in the meat and in the bread with fire you will burn.
33 The time for you to be set apart as priests will be seven days, so do not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent for seven days.
And from [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting not you must go out seven days until [the] day are completed [the] days of installation your for seven days he will fill hand your.
34 What we have done today is what Yahweh commanded to cause that you will be forgiven for your sins.
Just as someone has done on the day this he has commanded Yahweh to do to make atonement on you.
35 You must stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent for seven days and seven nights and do what Yahweh requires, in order that you will not die [because of disobeying him. I am telling you that] because that is what Yahweh has commanded me to tell you.”
And [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting you will remain by day and night seven days and you will keep [the] duty of Yahweh and not you will die for thus I have been commanded.
36 So Aaron and his sons did everything that Yahweh told Moses/me to tell them.
And he did Aaron and sons his all the things which he had commanded Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses.
