Leviticus 8:1-23

¹And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

²Take thou Aaron with his sons, their clothes, and the oil of anointing, a calf for sin, and two rams, a basket with therf loaves; (Take thou Aaron and his sons, their clothes, the anointing oil, a calf for the sin offering, two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;)

³and thou shalt gather together all the company to the door of the tabernacle. (and gather together all the congregation at the entrance of the Tabernacle.)

⁴Moses did as the Lord commanded; and when all the company was gathered before the gates of the tabernacle (or and when all the congregation was gathered together at the entrance to the Tabernacle),

⁵Moses said, This is the word which the Lord commanded to be done. (Moses said, This is what the Lord commanded to be done.)

⁶And at once Moses offered, or presented to (the) priest’s office, Aaron and his sons; and when he had washed them,

⁷he clothed (Aaron), the bishop, with a linen shirt, and girded him with a girdle, and clothed him with a coat of jacinth, and putted the cloth (or the cloak) on the shoulders above, which cloth (or cloak) on the shoulders he bound with a girdle, (he clothed Aaron, the High Priest, with a linen shirt, or with a linen robe, and girded him with a sash, and clothed him with a robe, or with an alb, of jacinth, and put the ephod over it, which ephod he bound with a sash,)

⁸and joined thereto the rational, wherein doctrine and truth was. (and joined the breastpiece to it, in which was the Urim and the Thummim.)

⁹And Moses covered Aaron’s head with a mitre, and upon the mitre, about the front, he put the golden plate, (made) sacred in the hallowing, as the Lord commanded to him. (And Moses covered Aaron’s head with a turban, and on the turban, at the front, he put the gold plate, the sacred symbol of dedication, as the Lord commanded to him.)

¹⁰And he took also the oil of anointing, with which he anointed the tabernacle with all his purtenance; and when he had hallowed (them), (And he took the anointing oil, and he anointed the Tabernacle, and all its purtenances; and when he had consecrated, or had dedicated, them,)

¹¹and had sprinkled the altar seven times, he anointed it, and hallowed with (the) oil all the vessels thereof, and the great washing vessel with his foundament (or and the great washing vessel, and its foundation, or its base).

¹²Which oil he shedded upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, and hallowed (him). (And then he poured some of the oil on Aaron’s head, and anointed him, and consecrated him.)

¹³And his sons offered, or presented, Moses clothed (them) with linen coats, and he girded them with girdles, and he set on their heads mitres, as the Lord commanded. (And then Aaron’s sons were brought forth, and Moses clothed them with linen shirts, or with linen robes, and he girded them with sashes, and he put turbans, or caps, on their heads, as the Lord commanded.)

¹⁴He offered also a calf for sin (or And he brought forth the calf for the sin offering); and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands on the head of that calf,

¹⁵he offered it, and drew up the blood; and when the finger was dipped in the blood thereof, he touched the corners of the altar by compass (or he touched the horns all around the altar); (and) when the altar was cleansed and hallowed, Moses poured (out) the blood that was left at the altar’s foot, (or at its base).

¹⁶Soothly he burnt on the altar the inner fatness that was on the entrails, and the caul of the maw, and the two little reins with their little fatnesses;

¹⁷and he burnt without the tents the calf, with the skin, the flesh, and the dung, as the Lord commanded. (and away from the tents, he burned the calf, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, as the Lord commanded.)

¹⁸And he offered a ram into burnt sacrifice (or And then he offered the ram for the burnt sacrifice); and when Aaron and his sons had set their hands upon the head thereof,

¹⁹he offered it, and he poured the blood thereof by compass of the altar. (he offered it, and then he threw its blood against all the sides of the altar.)

²⁰And he cutted that ram into gobbets, and he burnt with fire the head thereof, and the members, and the inner fatness, (And he cut, or carved, that ram into pieces, and he burned its head, and its members, and the inner fat,)

²¹when the entrails and the feet were washed before; and he burnt all the ram together upon the altar, for it was the burnt sacrifice of sweetest odour to the Lord, as the Lord commanded to him. (and when the entrails and the feet were washed in water, he burned the rest of the ram on the altar, for it was the burnt sacrifice to make the sweetest odour to the Lord, as the Lord commanded to him.)

²²He offered also the second ram, into the hallowing of (the) priests; and Aaron and his sons putted their hands upon the head thereof. (And then he offered the second ram, for the installation, or the ordination, of the priests; and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.)

²³And when Moses had offered that ram, he took of the blood, and touched therewith the last part of the right ear of Aaron, and the thumb of his right hand, and in like manner of his foot. (And when Moses had killed that ram, he took some of the blood, and touched with it the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and the great toe of his right foot.)
