Leviticus 8:1-11 ▼

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “Take 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 things,

3 and assemble all the congregation to the opening of the Tent of Meeting.”

4 And Moses does as YHWH has commanded him, and the congregation is assembled to the opening of the Tent of Meeting,

5 and Moses says to the congregation, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded to do.”

6 And Moses brings Aaron and his sons near, and bathes them with water,

7 and puts the coat on him, and girds him with the girdle, and clothes him with the upper robe, and puts the ephod on him, and girds him with the girdle of the ephod, and binds [it] to him with it,

8 and puts the breastplate on him, and puts the Lights and the Perfections into the breastplate,

9 and puts the turban on his head, and puts the golden flower of the holy crown on the turban, toward the front of its face, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

10 And Moses takes the anointing oil, and anoints the Dwelling Place, and all that [is] in it, and sanctifies them;

11 and he sprinkles of it on the altar seven times, and anoints the altar, and all its vessels, and the laver, and its base, to sanctify them;
