Leviticus 8
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Take Aaron and his sons, and his
robes and the anointing oil, and the calf for the sin-offering, and the two
rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,
3 and assemble the whole congregation
at the door of the tabernacle of witness.
4 And Moses did as the Lord appointed
him, and he assembled the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of
witness. 5 And Moses said to the
congregation, This is the thing which the Lord has commanded you to do.
6 And Moses brought nigh Aaron and his
sons, and washed them with water,
7 and put on him the coat, and girded
him with the girdle, and clothed him with the tunic, and put on him the ephod;
8 and girded him
with a girdle according to the make of the ephod, and
clasped him closely with it: and put upon it the oracle, and put upon the
oracle the Manifestation and the Truth.
9 And he put the mitre on his head,
and put upon the mitre in front the golden plate, the most holy thing, as the
Lord commanded Moses.
10 And Moses took of the anointing
oil, 11 and sprinkled of it seven
times on the altar; and anointed the altar, and hallowed it, and all things on
it, and the laver, and its foot, and sanctified them; and anointed the
tabernacle and all its furniture, and hallowed it.
12 And Moses poured of the anointing
oil on the head of Aaron; and he anointed him and sanctified him.
13 And Moses brought the sons of
Aaron near, and put on them coats and girded them with girdles, and put on
them bonnets, as the Lord commanded Moses.
14 And Moses brought near the calf
for the sin-offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of
the calf of the sin-offering. 15 And
he slew it; and Moses took of the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar
round about with his finger; and he purified the altar, and poured out the
blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement upon
it. 16 And Moses took all the fat
that was upon the inwards, and the lobe on the liver, and both the kidneys,
and the fat that was upon them, and Moses offered them on the altar.
17 But the calf, and his hide, and
his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp, as the Lord
commanded Moses.
18 And Moses brought near the ram for
a whole-burnt-offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of
the ram. And Moses slew the ram: and Moses poured the blood on the altar round
about. 19 And he divided the ram by
its limbs, and Moses offered the head, and the limbs, and the fat; and he
washed the belly and the feet with water.
20 And Moses offered up the whole ram
on the altar: it is a whole-burnt-offering for a sweet-smelling savour; it is
a burnt-offering to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
21 And Moses brought the second ram,
the ram of consecration, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head
of the ram, and he slew him;
22 and Moses took of his blood, and
put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand,
and on the great toe of his right foot.
23 And Moses brought near the sons of
Aaron; and Moses put of the blood on the tips of their right ears, and on the
thumbs of their right hands, and on the great toes of their right feet, and
Moses poured out the blood on the altar round about.
24 And he took the fat, and the rump,
and the fat on the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and
the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder.
25 And from the basket of
consecration, which was before the Lord, he also took one unleavened loaf, and
one loaf made with oil, and one cake; and put
them upon the fat, and the right shoulder:
26 and put them all on the hands of
Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and offered them up for a wave-offering
before the Lord. 27 And Moses took
them at their hands, and Moses offered them on the altar, on the
whole-burnt-offering of consecration, which is a smell of sweet savour: it is
a burnt-offering to the Lord. 28 And
Moses took the breast, and separated it for a heave-offering before the Lord,
from the ram of consecration; and it became Moses' portion, as the Lord
commanded Moses.
29 And Moses took of the anointing
oil, and of the blood that was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, and on
his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
30 And he sanctified Aaron and his
garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
31 And Moses said to Aaron and to his
sons, Boil the flesh in the tent of the tabernacle of witness in the holy
place; and there ye shall eat it and the loaves in the basket of consecration,
as it has been appointed me, the Lord saying, Aaron
and his sons shall eat them. 32 And
that which is left of the flesh and of the loaves burn ye with fire.
33 And ye shall not go out from the
door of the tabernacle of witness for seven days, until the day be fulfilled,
the day of your consecration; for in seven days shall he consecrate you,
34 as he did in this day on which the
Lord commanded me to do so, to make an atonement for you.
35 And ye shall remain seven days at
the door of the tabernacle of witness, day and night; ye shall observe the
ordinances of the Lord, that ye die not; for so has the Lord God commanded me.
36 And Aaron and his sons performed
all these commands which the Lord commanded Moses.
