Leviticus 8

1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2Take Aaron and his sons with him, the garments, the anointing oil, the sin offering bull, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread.

3And assemble all the congregation at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

4Moses did as Yahweh commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

5Moses said to the congregation, "This is the thing that Yahweh commanded to do."

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

7He put the tunic on him and girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, put the ephod on him, girded him with the ephod's artful band, and bound it to him with it.

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

9He placed the turban on his head and set the golden plate, the holy crown, on the turban in front of his forehead, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.

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

11He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its vessels, the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.

12He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to consecrate him.

13Moses presented Aaron's sons, dressed them in tunics, fastened sashes on them, and fitted headdresses on their heads, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.

14He brought the bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull for the sin offering.

15He slaughtered it; Moses took the blood, applied it to the horns of the altar all around with his finger, purified the altar, poured the blood at the base of the altar, and consecrated it to make atonement upon it.

16He took all the fat on the entrails, the caul of the liver, the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it on the altar.

17He burned the bull, its skin, its flesh, and its dung in the fire outside the camp, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

18He brought forward the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram's head.

19He slaughtered it, and Moses sprinkled the blood around the altar.

20Moses cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat.

21He washed the entrails and the legs in water, and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a soothing aroma, a fire offering to Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

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

23Moses slaughtered it, took some of its blood, and placed 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.

24Moses brought Aaron's sons near and put some of the blood on the lobe of their right ear, on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot, and Moses sprinkled the blood around the altar.

25He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat on the entrails, the caul of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh.

26From the basket of unleavened cakes before Yahweh he took one unleavened cake, one cake of bread with oil, and one wafer, and set them on the fat pieces and on the right thigh.

27He placed all of it on Aaron's hands and on his sons' hands, and waved them as a wave offering before Yahweh.

28Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar atop the burnt offering. They were consecrations for a soothing aroma, a fire offering to Yahweh.

29Moses took the breast and offered it up before Yahweh as a wave offering. It was his portion from the ram of consecration, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

30Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood on the altar, sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him, and consecrated Aaron, his garments, his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

31Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and eat it there with the bread in the consecration basket, as I commanded when I said, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'"

32What remains of the flesh and bread you shall burn in the fire.

33You shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecrations are fulfilled, for seven days he consecrates your hands.

34As he has done this day, Yahweh has commanded it to be done to make atonement for you.

35You shall remain at the entrance of the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and keep Yahweh's charge, so that you do not die—for thus I have been commanded.

36Aaron and his sons carried out everything Yahweh commanded through Moses.
