Leviticus 8:5-24

⁵Moses told them, “The following is what the Lord has ordered to be done.”

⁶Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward, and he washed them with water.

⁷He dressed Aaron with the tunic, tied the sash around him, put the robe on him and then the ephod. He tied the waistband of the ephod around him, fastening it to him.

⁸Then Moses attached the breastpiece to Aaron and put the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.

⁹He put the turban on Aaron's head and placed the gold plate, the holy crown, on the front of the turban, as the Lord had instructed him to do.

¹⁰Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the Tabernacle and everything in it to dedicate it all.

¹¹He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times to anoint it and all its utensils, as well as the basin with its stand to dedicate them.

¹²Moses poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head to anoint him and to dedicate him.

¹³Then Moses had Aaron's sons come forward, dressed them tunics in them, tied sashes around them, and wrapped headbands on them, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

¹⁴Moses brought the bull over for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

¹⁵Moses killed the bull and took some of the blood. He used his finger to put the blood on all four horns of the altar to dedicate it and purify it. He poured out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar, and consecrated the altar so that it could be used to make people right.

¹⁶Moses took all the fat that covers the insides, the best part of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, burned all of it on the altar.

¹⁷But the rest of the bull—the skin, the meat, and the waste he burned outside the camp, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

¹⁸Moses brought the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

¹⁹Moses killed the ram and sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

²⁰He divided the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat.

²¹He washed the insides and legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering to be accepted by the Lord, as the Lord had ordered Moses to do.

²²Moses brought the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

²³Moses killed the ram and took some of its blood. He put it on Aaron's right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

²⁴Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then he sprinkled blood on all sides of the altar.
