Leviticus 8

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying: ² "Take Aaron and his sons with him and the garments and the anointing oil and the young bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the tray of unleavened cakes ³ and assemble the whole congregation at the opening of the tent of appointment." ⁴ Moses did just as Yahweh had instructed him; the congregation was assembled at the opening of the tent of appointment; ⁵ and Moses said to the congregation: "This is the thing which Yahweh has instructed us to do." ⁶ So Moses brought near Aaron and his sons and washed them with water, ⁷ put the tunic on him, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe and put the vestment on him. Then he girded him with the designed band of the vestment and invested him with it. ⁸ He placed the breastplate on him and put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate. ⁹ Then he placed the turban on his head and placed on the turban at the forefront of his face the gold blossom, the holy insignia, just as Yahweh had instructed Moses. ¹⁰ Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it and hallowed them. ¹¹ Then he spattered some of it against the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its furnishings and the laver and its base to hallow them. ¹² He poured some of the anointing oil on the head of Aaron and anointed him to hallow him. ¹³ Then Moses brought near the sons of Aaron and clothed them with tunics and girded them with a sash and bound up for them the caps just as Yahweh had instructed Moses. ¹⁴ He brought close the young bull of the sin offering; and Aaron and his sons supported their hands on the head of the young bull of the sin offering. ¹⁵ One slew it, and Moses took the blood and put some of it on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and he made a sin offering on the altar; and the rest of the blood he poured out at the foundation of the altar and hallowed it to make a propitiatory shelter over it. ¹⁶ Then he took all the fat which was on the inwards and the protuberance of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat; and Moses caused it to fume on the altar. ¹⁷ The young bull with its hide, its flesh and its dung one burned with fire outside the camp just as Yahweh had instructed Moses. ¹⁸ He brought near the ram of the ascent offering, and Aaron and his sons supported their hands on the head of the ram. ¹⁹ One slew it, and Moses sprinkled the blood against the altar round about. ²⁰ One pieced the ram into its pieces; and Moses caused the head, the pieces and the suet to fume. ²¹ One washed the inwards and the shanks in water; and Moses caused the whole ram to fume on the altar. It was an ascent offering for a fragrant odor; it was a fire offering to Yahweh, just as Yahweh had instructed Moses. ²² He brought near the second ram, the ram of consecrations, and Aaron and his sons supported their hands on the head of the ram. ²³ One slew it, and Moses 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 and he brought near the sons of Aaron. Moses also 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 sprinkled the rest of the blood against the altar round about. ²⁵ He took the fat, the fat tail and all the fat which was on the inwards and the protuberance of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right leg. ²⁶ From the tray of unleavened cakes which is before Yahweh he took one unleavened perforated cake and one perforated cake of oil bread and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat portions and on the right leg. ²⁷ He put the whole on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons and waved them as a wave offering before Yahweh. ²⁸ Then Moses took them off their palms and caused them to fume on the altar on top of the ascent offering; they were consecrations for a fragrant odor. It was a fire offering to Yahweh. ²⁹ Now Moses took the chest and waved it as a wave offering before Yahweh. It was for Moses, the assigned share from the ram of consecrations just as Yahweh had instructed Moses. ³⁰ Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar and spattered it on Aaron, on his garments and on his sons and on his sons' garments with him; so he hallowed Aaron, his garments and his sons and his sons' garments with him. ³¹ Moses said to Aaron and to his sons: "Cook the flesh at the opening of the tent of appointment, and there you shall eat it and the bread that is in the tray of consecrations just as I have been instructed, saying: Aaron and his sons, they shall eat it. ³² Now the rest of the flesh and of the bread shall you burn with fire; ³³ and from the opening of the tent of appointment you shall not go forth for seven days until the day to fulfill the days of your consecrations, because for seven days shall one fill your hands. ³⁴ Just as one has done in this day so Yahweh had instructed to do, to make a propitiatory shelter over you. ³⁵ At the opening of the tent of appointment shall you dwell by day and night for seven days; keep this charge of Yahweh that you may not die, for so have I been instructed." ³⁶ Thus Aaron and his sons did all the things which Yahweh had instructed by means of Moses.
