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