Leviticus 8:1-21 ▼

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;

12 and he pours of the anointing oil on the head of Aaron, and anoints him to sanctify him.

13 And Moses brings the sons of Aaron near, and clothes them [with] coats, and girds them [with] girdles, and binds caps to them, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

14 And he brings the bullock of the sin-offering near, and Aaron lays—his sons also—their hands on the head of the bullock of the sin-offering,

15 and [one] slaughters, and Moses takes the blood, and puts [it] around the horns of the altar with his finger, and cleanses the altar, and he has poured out the blood at the foundation of the altar, and sanctifies it, to make atonement on it.

16 And he takes all the fat that [is] on the innards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses makes incense on the altar,

17 and the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he has burned with fire, at the outside of the camp, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

18 And he brings the ram of the burnt-offering near, and Aaron and his sons lay their hands on the head of the ram,

19 and [one] slaughters, and Moses sprinkles the blood around the altar;

20 and he has cut the ram into its pieces, and Moses makes incense with the head, and the pieces, and the fat,

21 and he has washed the innards and the legs with water, and Moses makes incense with the whole ram on the altar; it [is] a burnt-offering for refreshing fragrance; it [is] a fire-offering to YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
