Leviticus 8:1–13

Consecration of Aaron and His Sons

8^wThe Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and ^xthe garments and ^ythe anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread. ³And assemble all the congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting.” ⁴And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

⁵And Moses said to the congregation, ^z“This is the thing that the Lord has commanded to be done.” ⁶And Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water. ⁷And he put ^athe coat on him and tied the sash around his waist and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him and tied the skillfully woven band of the ephod around him, binding it to him with the band.^{1 8}And he placed the breastpiece on him, and ^bin the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim. ⁹And he set ^athe turban on his head, and ^con the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown, as the Lord commanded Moses.

^10dThen Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them. ¹¹And he sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its utensils and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them. ¹²And ^ehe poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him. ¹³And Moses brought Aaron’s sons and clothed them with coats and tied sashes around their waists and bound caps on them, as the Lord commanded Moses.
