Lev 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 Heb. Urim and Thummim Manifestation and the Truth.
9
And he put the mitre on his head, and put upon the mitre in front the golden plate,
Gr. the sanctified holy thing 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 Gr. in it 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 coast 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 you 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 you with fire.
33
And you 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 Gr. complete your hands; Heb. fill your hands 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 you shall Gr. sit remain seven days at the door of the tabernacle of witness, day and night; you shall
observe the ordinances of the Lord, that you 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.
