Installing the Priests
1Then#Or “And” Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Take 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 the unleavened bread, 3and summon all of the community to the entrance to#Or “of” the tent of assembly.” 4So#Or “And” Moses did just as Yahweh commanded him, and the community gathered by the entrance to#Or “of” the tent of assembly.
5Then#Or “And” Moses said to the community, “This is the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”#Or “to do” or “me to do”
6So#Or “And” Moses brought Aaron and his sons near, and he washed them with water. 7Then#Or “And” he put the tunic on him and tied#Or “he tied” the sash around him; then#Or “and” he clothed him with the robe and put#Or “he put” the ephod on him; then#Or “and” he tied the ephod’s waistband around him and fastened#Or “he fastened” the ephod#Understood by context to him with it. 8Then#Or “And” he placed the breastpiece on him and put#Or “he put” the Urim and the Thummim into the breastpiece; 9and he placed the turban on his head, and on the front of#Literally “to the front of his faces” the turban he placed the gold rosette, the holy diadem, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
10Then#Or “And” Moses took the anointing oil and anointed#Or “he anointed” the tabernacle and all that was in it, and he consecrated them. 11And he spattered part of#Literally “from” it on the altar seven times—thus#Or “and” he anointed the altar and all of its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them. 12Then#Or “And” he poured out part of#Literally “from” the anointing oil on Aaron’s head—thus#Or “and” he anointed him in order to consecrate him. 13Then#Or “And” Moses brought Aaron’s sons near and clothed#Or “he clothed” them with tunics and tied#Or “he tied” a sash around each one,#Literally “them” and he bound headbands on#Or “to” them, just as Yahweh had commanded 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.
25Then#Or “And” he took the fat and the fat tail and all of the fat that was on the inner parts#Or “entrails” and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right upper thigh; 26and from the basket of the unleavened bread that was before Yahweh he took one ring-shaped unleavened bread and one ring-shaped bread with#Or “of” oil and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat parts#Literally “fats” and on the right upper thigh. 27Then#Or “And” he put all of these#Literally “the all” on Aaron’s palms and on his sons’ palms, and he waved them as a wave offering before#Literally “to the faces of” Yahweh. 28Then#Or “And” Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they were a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance—it was an offering made by fire for#Or “to” Yahweh. 29Then#Or “And” Moses took the breast section, and he waved it as a wave offering before#Literally “to the faces of” Yahweh from the ram of the consecration offering; it was Moses’ share, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
Anointing the Priests and Their Garments
30Then#Or “And” Moses took some of#Literally “from” the anointing oil and some of#Literally “from” the blood that was on the altar, and he spattered them on Aaron, on his garments, and on Aaron’s sons and on his sons’ garments with him—thus#Or “and” he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.
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.

Leviticus 8
8
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Take 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 door of the Tent of Meeting.”
4 Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 5Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded to be done.” 6Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 7He put the tunic on him, tied the sash on him, clothed him with the robe, put the ephod on him, and he tied the skilfully woven band of the ephod on him and fastened it to him with it. 8He placed the breastplate on him. He put the Urim and Thummim in the breastplate. 9He set the turban on his head. He set the golden plate, the holy crown, on the front of the turban, as the LORD commanded Moses. 10Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them. 11He sprinkled it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the basin and its base, to sanctify them. 12He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 13Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and clothed them with tunics, and tied sashes on them, and put headbands on them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
14 He brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering. 15He killed it; and Moses took the blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar 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. 16He took all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burnt it on the altar. 17But the bull, and its skin, and its meat, and its dung, he burnt with fire outside the camp, as the LORD commanded Moses. 18He presented the ram of the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 19He killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar. 20He cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 21He washed the innards and the legs with water; and Moses burnt the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses. 22He presented the other ram, the ram of consecration. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 23He killed it; and Moses took some of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot. 24He brought Aaron’s sons; and Moses put some of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar. 25He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat that was on the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh; 26and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat and on the right thigh. 27He put all these in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD. 28Moses took them from their hands, and burnt them on the altar on the burnt offering. They were a consecration offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to the LORD. 29Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD. It was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration, as the LORD commanded Moses. 30Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons’ garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
31 Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat 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.’ 32What remains of the meat and of the bread you shall burn with fire. 33You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days. 34What has been done today, so the LORD has commanded to do, to make atonement for you. 35You shall stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night seven days, and keep the LORD’s command, that you don’t die: for so I am commanded.” 36Aaron and his sons did all the things which the LORD commanded by Moses.
