Leviticus Chapter 8

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses and said, 2“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the clothes, and the anointing oil, and a bull for the sin-offering, and two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread, 3and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance to the tent of contact.” 4And Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the entrance to the tent of contact. 5Then Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing which the Lord commanded us to do.” 6And Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water. 7And he put the tunic on him, and he girded him with the girdle, and he clothed him with the robe, and he put the ephod on him, and he girded him with the embroidered belt of the ephod, and he bound it on to him. 8And he placed the breastplate on him, and he put the Urim and the Thummim on the breastplate. 9And he put the turban on his head, and on the turban facing forwards he put the shining plate of gold – the holy crown – as the Lord had commanded Moses. 10And Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything that was in it, and he sanctified those things. 11And he sprinkled some of it on the altar, seven times, and he anointed the altar and all its equipment, and the laver, and its pedestal, so as to sanctify them. 12And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, and he anointed him, so as to sanctify him. 13And Moses brought Aaron's sons forward and clothed them with tunics, and he girded them with girdles, and he bound high headgear on them, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 14And he presented the bull of the sin-offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin-offering. 15And he slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and he expiated the altar, and he poured the blood onto the base of the altar, and he sanctified it to atone for it. 16And he took all the fat which is on the innards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burnt it on the altar. 17And he burnt the bull, and its hide, and its flesh, and its dung, with fire, outside the camp, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 18And he brought the ram of the burnt offering forward, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 19And Moses slaughtered it and sprinkled its blood on the altar round about. 20And he cut the ram up into pieces, and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat, 21and he washed the innards and the legs with water, and Moses burnt the whole of the ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering as a sweet fragrance. It is a fire-offering to the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 22And he brought the second ram forward, the ram of the consecration, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 23And Moses slaughtered it and took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear and on his right thumb and on his right hand big toe. 24And he brought Aaron's sons forward, and Moses put some of the blood on the lobe of their right ears and on their right thumbs and on their right hand big toes, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar round about. 25And he took the fat and the tail, and all the fat that is on the innards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat and the right hand front leg. 26And he took one unleavened cake and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, from the basket of unleavened bread which is before the Lord, and he put them on the items of fat and on the right hand front leg, 27and he put it all in Aaron's hands, and in his sons' hands, and he waved them as a wave-offering before the Lord. 28And Moses took them from their hands and burnt them on the altar with the burnt offering. They were a consecration as a sweet fragrance. It was a fire-offering to the Lord. 29And Moses took the breast, and he waved it as a wave-offering before the Lord. Moses' portion was from the ram of consecration, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 30And Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar, and he sprinkled it on Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons and on his sons' garments with him, and he sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him. 31And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance to the tent of contact, and there you will eat it, and the bread which is in the consecration basket, as I commanded, when I said, ‘Aaron and his sons will eat it.’ 32And you will burn the remainder of the meat and bread with fire. 33And you will not go out of the entrance of the tent of contact for seven days, until the day of fulfilment of your consecration days, because for seven days he will consecrate you.” 34The way he acted on this day was what the Lord had commanded to be done, so as to atone for you. 35“And you will stay at the entrance to the tent of contact day and night for seven days, and you will keep the Lord's charge, so that you do not die, for so I have been commanded.” 36And Aaron and his sons did all the things which the Lord had commanded through the intermediacy of Moses.
