³⁵ “Thus you shall do to Aaron and his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. ^(A)Seven days you shall consecrate them.

^14 (A)He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

⁸ He who is to be cleansed ^(A)shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and ^(B)wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and ^(C)shall stay outside his tent seven days. ⁹ But on the ^(D)seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows—all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he shall be clean.

¹⁰ “And on the eighth day ^(E)he shall take two male lambs without blemish, one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as ^(F)a grain offering, and one log of oil. ¹¹ Then the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

⁴ So Moses did as the Lord commanded him. And the congregation was gathered together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. ⁵ And Moses said to the congregation, “This is what the Lord commanded to be done.”

⁶ Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons and ^(A)washed them with water. ⁷ And he ^(B)put the tunic on him, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the intricately woven band of the ephod, and with it tied the ephod on him. ⁸ Then he put the breastplate on him, and he ^(C)put the ^[a]Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate. ^9 (D)And he put the turban on his head. Also on the turban, on its front, he put the golden plate, the holy crown, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

^10 (E)Also Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them. ¹¹ He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the laver and its base, to ^[b]consecrate them. ¹² And he ^(F)poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

^13 (G)Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons and put tunics on them, girded them with sashes, and put ^[c]hats on them, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

^14 (H)And he brought the bull for the sin offering. Then Aaron and his sons ^(I)laid their hands on the head of the bull for the sin offering, ¹⁵ and Moses killed it. ^(J)Then he took the blood, and put some on the horns of the altar all around with his finger, and purified the altar. And he poured the blood at the base of the altar, and consecrated it, to make ^[d]atonement for it. ^16 (K)Then he took all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar. ¹⁷ But the bull, its hide, its flesh, and its offal, he burned with fire outside the camp, as the Lord ^(L)had commanded Moses.

^18 (M)Then he brought the ram as the burnt offering. And Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, ¹⁹ and Moses killed it. Then he sprinkled the blood all around on the altar. ²⁰ And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses ^(N)burned the head, the pieces, and the fat. ²¹ Then he washed the entrails and the legs in water. And Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt sacrifice for a ^[e]sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord, ^(O)as the Lord had commanded Moses.

²² And ^(P)he brought the second ram, the ram of consecration. Then Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, ²³ and Moses killed it. Also he took some of ^(Q)its blood and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. ²⁴ Then he brought Aaron’s sons. And Moses put some of the ^(R)blood on the tips of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. And Moses sprinkled the blood all around on the altar. ^25 (S)Then he took the fat and the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh; ^26 (T)and from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord he took one unleavened cake, a cake of bread anointed with oil, and one wafer, and put them on the fat and on the right thigh; ²⁷ and he put all these ^(U)in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them as a wave offering before the Lord. ^28 (V)Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar, on the burnt offering. They were consecration offerings for a sweet aroma. That was an offering made by fire to the Lord. ²⁹ And ^(W)Moses took the ^(X)breast and waved it as a wave offering before the Lord. It was Moses’ ^(Y)part of the ram of consecration, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

³⁰ Then ^(Z)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, on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he consecrated Aaron, his garments, his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

³¹ And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, ^(AA)“Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecration offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’ ^32 (AB)What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire. ³³ And you shall not go outside the door of the tabernacle of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are ended. For ^(AC)seven days he shall consecrate you. ^34 (AD)As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded to do, to make atonement for you. ³⁵ Therefore you shall stay at the door of the tabernacle of meeting day and night for seven days, and ^(AE)keep the ^[f]charge of the Lord, so that you may not die; for so I have been commanded.” ³⁶ So Aaron and his sons did all the things that the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.

^12 (A)“Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of meeting and wash them with water. ¹³ You shall put the holy ^(B)garments on Aaron, ^(C)and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest. ¹⁴ And you shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics. ¹⁵ You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to Me as priests; for their anointing shall surely be ^(D)an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”

¹⁶ Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

⁴² According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel ^(A)did all the work. ⁴³ Then Moses looked over all the work, and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, just so they had done it. And Moses ^(B)blessed them.

³⁷ Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and sanctify it. And the altar shall be most holy. ^(A)Whatever touches the altar must be holy.

^30 (A)That son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on for ^(B)seven days, when he enters the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the ^[a]holy place.
