Leviticus 8

1

The Lord said to Moses,,

2

"Bring Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil,

the bull for the sinoffering, the two rams and the basket

containg bread made without yeast,

3

and gather the entire assembly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting."

4

Moses did as the LORD commanded him, and the assembly gathered

at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

5

Moses said to the assembly, "This is what the LORD has commanded

to be done."

6

Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them

with water.

 7

He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him

with the robe and put the ephod on him. He also tied the ephod

to him by its skillfully woven waistband; so it was fastened on him.

8

He placed the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim

in the breastpiece.

9

Then he placed the turban on Aaron's head and set the gold plate,

the sacred diadem, on the front of it, as the LORD commanded Moses.

10

Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle

and everything in it, and so consecrated them.

11

He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, anointing

the altar and all its utensils and the basins with its stand, to

consecrate him.

12

He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed

him to consecrate him. 

13

Then he brought Aaron's sons forward, put tunics on them, tied

sashes around them and put headbands on them, as the LORD

commanded Moses.

14

He then presented the bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and

his sons laid their hands on its head.

15

Moses slaughtered the bull and took some of the blood, and with

his finger he put it on all the horns of the altar to purify the altar.

He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

So he consecrated it to make atonement for it.

16

Moses also took the all the fat arounf the inner parts, the covering

of the live, and both kidneys and their fat, burned it on the altar.

17

But the bull with its hide and its flesh and his offal he burned up

outside the camp, as the LORD commanded Moses.

18

He then presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his

sons laid their hands on its head.

19

Then Moses slaughtered the ram and sprinkled the blood against

the altar on all sides.

20

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

21

He washed the inner parts and the legs with water and burned the

whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, an

offering made to the LORD by fire, as the LORD commanded Moses.

22

He then presented the other ram, the ram for the ordination, and

Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

23

Moses slaughtered the ram and took some of its blood and put it on

the lobe of Aaron's right ear, on the thumb of his right hand and on

the big toe of his right foot.

24

Moses also brought Aaron's sons forward and put some of the blood

on the lobes of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands

and on the big toes of their right feet. Then he sprinkled blood

against the altar on all sides.

25

He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat around the inner parts, the

covering of the liver, both kidneys and their fat and the right thigh.

26

Then from the basket of bread made without yeast,

which was before the Lord, he took a cake of bread,

and one made with oil, and a wafer; he put these on

the fat portions and on the right thigh.

27

He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and

waved them before the LORD as a wave offering.

28

Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them

on the altar on top of the burnt offering as an ordination

offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering ,ade to the LORD by fire.

29

He also took the breast - Moses' share of the ordination ram -

and waved it before the LORD as a wave offering, as the LORD

commanded Moses.

30

Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood

from the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments

and on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated Aaron and

his garmentsns and his sons and their garments. 

31

Moses then said to Aaron and his sons, "Cook the meat at the

entrance to the Tent of Meeting and eat it there with the bread

from the basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded,

saying, 'Aaron and his sons are to eat it.'

32

Then burn up the rest of the meat and the bread.

33

Do not leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days,

until the days of your ordination are completed,

for your ordinations will last seven days.

34

What has been done today was commanded

by the Lord to make atonement for you.

35

You must stay at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting day and night

for seven days and do what the Lord requires so you will not die;

for that is what I have been commanded."

36

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