Leviticus 8

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord said to 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;

Take Aaron, and his sons with him, and the robes and the holy oil and the ox of the sin-offering and the two male sheep and the basket of unleavened bread;

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

And let all the people come together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

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

And Moses did as the Lord said, and all the people came together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

5 Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded to be done.”

And Moses said to the people, This is what the Lord has given orders to be done.

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

Then Moses took Aaron and his sons; and after washing them with water,

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

He put the coat on him, making it tight with its band, and then the robe, and over it the ephod, with its band of needlework to keep it in place.

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

And he put the priest's bag on him, and in the bag he put the Urim and Thummim.

9 He set the turban on his head. He set the golden plate, the holy crown, on the front of the turban, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And on his head he put the head-dress, and in front of the head-dress the plate of gold, the holy crown, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

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

And Moses took the holy oil and put it on the House and on all the things in it, to make them holy.

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.

Seven times he put oil on the altar and on all its vessels, and on the washing-basin and its base, to make them holy.

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

And some of the oil he put on Aaron's head, to make him holy.

13 Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and clothed them with tunics, and tied sashes on them, and put headbands on them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Then he took Aaron's sons, clothing them with the coats, and putting the bands round them, and the head-dresses on their heads, as the Lord had given him orders.

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.

And he took the ox of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the ox,

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.

And he put it to death; and Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar and round it with his finger, and made the altar clean, draining out the blood at the base of the altar; so he made it holy, taking away what was unclean.

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

And he took all the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, to be burned on the altar;

17 But the bull, and its skin, and its meat, and its dung, he burnt with fire outside the camp, as the LORD commanded Moses.

But the ox, with its skin and its flesh and its waste, was burned with fire outside the tent-circle, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

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

And he put the male sheep of the burned offering before the Lord, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head,

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

And he put it to death; and Moses put some of the blood on and round the altar.

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

And when the sheep had been cut into parts, the head and the parts and the fat were burned by Moses.

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

And the inside parts and the legs were washed with water and all the sheep was burned by Moses on the altar; it was a burned offering for a sweet smell: it was an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

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

And he put the other sheep before the Lord, the sheep with which they were made priests; and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the sheep,

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.

And he put it to death; and Moses took some of the blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great 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 he took Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the point of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet: and Moses put the blood on and round the altar.

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

And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right leg;

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

And out of the basket of unleavened bread which was before the Lord he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of bread with oil on it, and one thin cake, and put them on the fat and on the right leg:

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

And he put them all on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord.

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

And Moses took them from their hands, and they were burned on the altar on the burned offering, as a priest's offering for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

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

And Moses took the breast, waving it for a wave offering before the Lord; it was Moses' part of the sheep of the priest's offering, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

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.

And Moses took some of the holy oil and of the blood which was on the altar and put it on Aaron and on his robes, and on his sons and on his sons' robes; and made Aaron holy, and his robes and his sons and his sons' robes with him.

31 Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat 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.’

And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, The flesh is to be cooked in water at the door of the Tent of meeting, and there you are to take it as food, together with the bread in the basket, as I have given orders, saying, It is the food of Aaron and his sons.

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

And that which is over of the flesh and of the bread is to be burned with fire.

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

And you are not to go out from the door of the Tent of meeting for seven days, till the days for making you priest are ended; for this will be the work of seven days.

34 What has been done today, so the LORD has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

What has been done this day, has been ordered by the Lord to take away your sin.

35 You shall stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night seven days, and keep the LORD’s command, that you don’t die: for so I am commanded.”

And you are to keep watch for the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting day and night for seven days, so that death may not come to you: for so he has given me orders.

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

And Aaron and his sons did all the things about which the Lord had given orders through Moses.
