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