Leviticus 8
8
1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread; 3and assemble thou all the congregation at the door of the tent of meeting. 4And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the tent of meeting. 5And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded to be done.
6And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 7And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith. 8And he placed the breastplate upon him: and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim. 9And he set the mitre upon his head; and upon the mitre, in front, did he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
10And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them. 11And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them. 12And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 13And Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and clothed them with coats, and girded them with girdles, and bound head-tires upon them; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
14And he brought the bullock of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock of the sin-offering. 15And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it. 16And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it upon the altar. 17But the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
18And he presented the ram of the burnt-offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 19And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 20And he cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 21And he washed the inwards and the legs with water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt-offering for a sweet savor: it was an offering made by fire unto Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
22And he presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 23And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood thereof, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. 24And he brought Aaron’s sons; and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 25And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh: 26and out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before Jehovah, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and upon the right thigh: 27and he put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and waved them for a wave-offering before Jehovah. 28And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt-offering: they were a consecration for a sweet savor: it was an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. 29And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: it was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
30And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
31And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tent of meeting: and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 32And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. 33And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration be fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days. 34As hath been done this day, so Jehovah hath commanded to do, to make atonement for you. 35And at the door of the tent of meeting shall ye abide day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Jehovah, that ye die not: for so I am commanded. 36And Aaron and his sons did all the things which Jehovah commanded by Moses.

The Offerings for Consecration
14Then#Or “And” he brought forth the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering, 15and he slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood and put#Or “he put” it with his finger on the altar’s horns all around and purified the altar; then#Or “and” he poured the blood out on the altar’s base—thus#Or “and” he consecrated it in order to make atonement for it.#Or “to make atonement upon it” (see NET, Tanakh) 16Then#Or “And” he took all the fat that was on the inner parts#Or “entrails” and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses turned them into smoke on the altar, 17but#Or “and” he burned the bull and its skin and its meat and its offal in the fire outside the camp,#Literally “from an outside place of the camp” just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
18Then#Or “And” he brought the ram of the burnt offering near, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram’s head, 19and he slaughtered it. Then#Or “And” Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around. 20Then#Or “And” he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses turned into smoke the head and the pieces and the suet, 21but#Or “and” he washed the inner parts#Or “entrails” and the lower leg bones with water, and Moses turned into smoke all of the ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering as an appeasing fragrance, an offering made by fire for#Or “to” Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
22Then#Or “And” he brought the second ram near, the ram of the consecration, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram’s head, 23and he slaughtered it. Then#Or “And” Moses took some of#Literally “from” its blood and put#Or “he put” it on Aaron’s right ear lobe and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe. 24Then#Or “And” he brought Aaron’s sons near, and Moses put some of#Literally “from” the blood on their right ear lobe and on their right hand’s thumb and on their right foot’s big toe, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.

Anointing the Priests and Their Garments

31Then#Or “And” Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat in the entrance to#Or “of” the tent of assembly, and there you must eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the consecration offering, just as I have commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons must eat it,’ 32but#Or “and” the remainder of the meat and the bread you#Plural must burn in the fire. 33And you must not go out from the entrance to#Or “of” the tent of assembly for seven days, until the day of fulfilling the days of your#Plural consecration, because it will take seven days to ordain you.#Literally “seven of days it will fill your (plural) hand” 34Just as was done#Or “he did” on this day, Yahweh commanded to be done#Or “to do” in order to make atonement for you.#Plural 35And you#Plural must stay at the entrance to#Or “of” the tent of assembly day and night for seven days, and you#Plural shall keep the obligation from#Or “of” Yahweh, so you#Plural might not die, for thus I have been commanded.” 36So#Or “And” Aaron and his sons did all the things that Yahweh had commanded through#Literally “by the hand of” Moses.
