Leviticus 8

1Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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

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

4And Moses did as Yahweh commanded him, and the congregation assembled at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

5And Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”

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

7And he put the tunic on him, and fastened him with the sash, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him, and fastened it on him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and tied the ephod to him with it.

8And he placed the breastpiece on him, and he put the Urim and the Thummim into the breastpiece.

9And he put the turban on his head, and on the front of the turban he placed the gold plate, the holy crown, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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

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

12Then he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him.

13Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons near, and clothed them with tunics, and girded them with sashes, and bound caps on them, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

14Then he brought near 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 all around with his finger, and he purified the altar, and he poured out the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it to make atonement for it.

16He took all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar.

17But the bull, along with its hide, its flesh, and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

18Then he brought near the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

19And he slaughtered it, and Moses threw the blood against the altar all around.

20Then he cut the ram into its pieces, and Moses burned the head, the pieces, and the suet in smoke.

21He washed the entrails and the legs with water, and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

22Then he brought near the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

23And he slaughtered it, and Moses took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

24Then he brought Aaron’s sons near, and Moses 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. Then Moses threw the blood against the altar all around.

25Then he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right thigh.

26And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before Yahweh, he took one unleavened cake, one cake of bread with oil, and one wafer, and put them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.

27He put all of it into the palms of Aaron and into the palms of his sons, and he waved them as a wave offering before Yahweh.

28Then Moses took them from their palms and burned them on the altar, on top of the burnt offering. They were an ordination offering for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to Yahweh.

29Then Moses took the breast and waved it as a wave offering before Yahweh. It was Moses' portion from the ram of ordination, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

30Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; so he consecrated Aaron, his garments, his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

31And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, just as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’”

32And what remains of the meat and of the bread you shall burn with fire.

33And you shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the day the days of your ordination are completed, for he will ordain you for seven days.

34Just as has been done on this day, Yahweh has commanded to be done, to make atonement for you.

35And you shall stay at the entrance of the tent of meeting day and night for seven days, and keep the charge of Yahweh, so that you may not die; for so I have been commanded.

36And Aaron and his sons did all the things that Yahweh had commanded through Moses.
