Leviticus 8

And God spoke to Moses, saying,

“Take Aaron and his sons with him and the clothes and the oil of anointing and the bull of the sin offering and two rams and a basket of unleavened bread.

And assemble the whole congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting.” \*

And Moses did just as God commanded him. And the congregation assembled at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

And Moses said to the congregation, “This {is} the thing that God commanded to do.” \*

Moses presented Aaron and his sons, and he washed them with water.

And he put the tunic on him, and he wrapped him with the sash, and he clothed him {with} the robe, and he put the ephod on him. And he wrapped him with the finely woven waistband of the ephod, and he fastened {the ephod} on him with it. \*

And he put the breastplate on him, and he put the Urim and the Thummim on the breastplate.

And he placed the turban on his head, and he placed on the turban—to the front of its face—the flower of gold, the crown of holiness, just as God commanded Moses. \*

And Moses took the oil of anointing, and he anointed the Dwelling and all that {was} in it. And he consecrated them.

And he sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, and he anointed the altar and all its utensils and the basin and its base to consecrate them. \*

And he poured some of the oil of anointing on the head of Aaron, and he anointed him to consecrate him.

And Moses presented the sons of Aaron, and he clothed them {with} tunics, and he wrapped them {with} sashes, and he bound headbands on them, just as God commanded Moses. \*

And he brought the bull of the sin offering near. And Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

And he slaughtered {it}, and Moses took the blood, and he put {it} on the horns of the altar all around with his finger. And he purified the altar, and he poured out the blood at the base of the altar. And he made it holy to make atonement on it. \*

And he took all the fat that {was} on the innards and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses caused {them} to become smoke on the altar.

But the bull and its skin and its meat and its dung he burned with fire on the outside of the camp, just as God commanded Moses. \*

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

And he slaughtered {it}, and Moses splashed the blood on the altar all around. \*

And he cut the ram into its pieces, and Moses caused the head and the pieces and the suet to become smoke.

But the innards and the legs he washed with water. And Moses caused the whole ram to become smoke on the altar. It {was} a burnt offering for a scent of pleasing. It {was} a gift to God, just as God commanded Moses. \*

And he presented the second ram, the ram of the ordination offering. And Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

And he slaughtered {it}, and Moses took some of its blood, and he put {it} on the earlobe of the right ear of Aaron and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

And he presented the sons of Aaron, and Moses put some of the blood on the earlobe of their right ear and on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. And Moses splashed the blood on the altar all around. \*

And he took the fat and the fatty tail and all the fat that {was} on the innards and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right thigh.

And from the basket of the unleavened bread that {was} to the face of God, he took one loaf of unleavened bread and one loaf of bread of oil and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat and on the right thigh.

And he put the whole on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and he raised them {as} a raised offering to the face of God. \*

And Moses took them from on their hands, and he caused {them} to become smoke on the altar, on the burnt offering. They {were} an ordination offering for a scent of pleasing. It {was} a gift to God.

And Moses took the breast, and he raised it {as} a raised offering to the face of God from the ram of the ordination offering. It {was} for Moses for a portion, just as God commanded Moses. \*

And Moses took some of the oil of anointing and some of the blood that {was} on the altar, and he sprinkled {them} on Aaron, on his clothes, and on his sons, and on the clothes of his sons with him. And he consecrated Aaron, his clothes, and his sons, and the clothes of his sons with him. \*

And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and there you shall eat it and the bread that {is} in the basket of the ordination offering, just as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’

But the remainder among the meat and among the bread you shall burn in the fire.

And you shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting {for} seven days, until the day of the filling of the days of your ordination, because {for} seven days, he will fill your hand. \*

Just as he did on this day, God commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

And at the entrance of the tent of meeting, you shall stay day and night {for} seven days, and you shall keep the watch of God, and you will not die, because thus I have been commanded.”

And Aaron and his sons did all the things that God commanded by the hand of Moses. \*
