Leviticus 8:1-20

¹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

²Take Aaron with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of unction, a calf for sin, two rams, a basket with unleavened bread,

³And thou shalt gather together all the congregation to the door of the tabernacle.

⁴And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And all the multitude being gathered together before the door of the tabernacle,

⁵He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done.

⁶And immediately he offered Aaron and his sons: and when he had washed them,

⁷He vested the high priest with the strait linen garment, girding him with the girdle, and putting on him the violet tunick, and over it he put the ephod,

⁸And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on which was Doctrine and Truth.

⁹He put also the mitre upon his head: and upon the mitre over the forehead, he put the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, as the Lord had commanded him.

¹⁰He took also the oil of unction, with which he anointed the tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof.

¹¹And when he had sanctified and sprinkled the altar seven times, he anointed it, and all the vessels thereof, and the laver with the foot thereof, he sanctified with the oil.

¹²And he poured it upon Aaron’s head, and he anointed and consecrated him:

¹³And after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunicks, and girded them with girdles, and put mitres on them as the Lord had commanded.

¹⁴He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon the head thereof,

¹⁵He immolated it: and took the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar round about. Which being expiated, and sanctified, he poured the rest of the blood at the bottom thereof.

¹⁶But the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two little kidneys, with their fat, he burnt upon the altar:

¹⁷And the calf with the skin, and the flesh and the dung, he burnt without the camp, as the Lord had commanded.

¹⁸He offered also a ram for a holocaust: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon its head,

¹⁹He immolated it, and poured the blood thereof round about upon the altar.

²⁰And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, and the fat he burnt in the fire,
