II.— EL ORDEN DEL CULTO (8—10)
Consagración de los sacerdotes (8—9)
Rito de consagración
8 Le dijo el Señor a Moisés:
2 — Toma a Aarón y a sus hijos, junto con las ropas, el aceite de la unción, el novillo de la ofrenda de purificación, los dos carneros y el canastillo de los panes sin levadura, 3 y convoca a toda la comunidad a la entrada de la Tienda del encuentro.
4 Moisés hizo lo que el Señor le mandó; se reunió la comunidad a la entrada de la Tienda del encuentro 5 y Moisés les comunicó lo que el Señor ordenaba hacer. 6 Entonces Moisés hizo que se acercaran Aarón y sus hijos y los lavó con agua. 7 Luego revistió a Aarón con la túnica y lo ciñó con el fajín; después le puso el manto, y encima le colocó el efod, ciñéndoselo y ajustándoselo con la cinta del efod. 8 A continuación le colocó encima el pectoral y puso dentro del mismo los Urín y los Tumín. 9 Le colocó el turbante en la cabeza y, sobre la parte frontal del turbante, puso la lámina de oro, la diadema sagrada, como el Señor le había ordenado.
10 Seguidamente tomó Moisés el aceite de la unción y ungió la Morada, consagrando todas las cosas que había en ella. 11 Roció el altar siete veces y lo ungió consagrando todos sus utensilios junto con la pila y su peana. 12 Luego derramó el aceite de la unción sobre la cabeza de Aarón y lo ungió para consagrarlo. 13 Después Moisés hizo que se acercaran los hijos de Aarón y les puso las túnicas, los ciñó con fajines y les ajustó las tiaras, como el Señor le había ordenado.
14 Seguidamente hizo traer el novillo de la ofrenda de purificación, y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del novillo de la ofrenda de purificación. 15 Moisés lo degolló y, mojando su dedo en la sangre, untó con ella los salientes de los lados del altar, purificando de esta manera el altar; derramó el resto de la sangre al pie del altar, consagrándolo así para que se pueda hacer la expiación sobre él. 16 Tomó, finalmente, Moisés toda la grasa que envuelve las vísceras, la grasa del hígado y los dos riñones con su grasa, y lo quemó todo sobre el altar. 17 El resto del novillo: piel, carne y excrementos, lo quemó Moisés fuera del campamento, como el Señor se lo había ordenado.
18 Luego hizo traer el carnero del holocausto, sobre cuya cabeza pusieron las manos Aarón y sus hijos. 19 Moisés lo degolló y con la sangre roció el altar por todo sus lados; 20 después Moisés descuartizó el carnero y quemó la cabeza, los trozos y la grasa. 21 Lavó con agua las vísceras y las patas y, tal como el Señor se lo había ordenado, quemó todo el carnero sobre el altar, como holocausto de olor grato ofrecido al Señor.
22 Hizo luego traer el otro carnero, el carnero de la consagración, y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero. 23 Moisés lo degolló y con su sangre untó el lóbulo de la oreja derecha de Aarón y los pulgares de su mano y pie derechos. 24 Hizo también Moisés que se acercaran los hijos de Aarón, y con la sangre del carnero untó el lóbulo de sus orejas derechas y los pulgares de sus manos y pies derechos, rociando también con la sangre el altar por todos sus lados. 25 Tomó luego la grasa, la cola, toda la grasa que envuelve las vísceras, la grasa del hígado, los dos riñones con su grasa y el muslo derecho. 26 Tomó también una torta sin levadura, una torta de pan de aceite y un hojaldre del canastillo que estaba ante el Señor conteniendo los panes sin levadura, y colocó todo esto junto con la grasa y con el muslo derecho. 27 Puso todo en las manos de Aarón y de sus hijos, y estos hicieron el rito de la elevación ofreciéndolo en presencia del Señor. 28 De nuevo Moisés lo tomó de manos de Aarón y de sus hijos y lo quemó en el altar sobre el holocausto. Fue este un sacrificio de consagración, sacrificio de grato olor ofrecido al Señor. 29 Moisés tomó entonces el pecho haciendo con él el rito de la elevación en presencia del Señor. Esta fue la parte del carnero de la ofrenda de consagración, que correspondió a Moisés tal como el Señor se lo había ordenado al mismo Moisés.
30 Tomó, finalmente, Moisés el aceite de la unción y la sangre del altar, rociando con ellas a Aarón y a sus ropas, a los hijos de Aarón y a sus ropas; y así quedaron consagrados Aarón, sus hijos y sus ropas.
31 Moisés dijo a Aarón y a sus hijos:
— Hervid la carne a la entrada de la Tienda del encuentro, y comedla allí, junto con el pan que está en el canastillo del sacrificio de consagración, según lo ordené cuando dije: “Lo comerán Aarón y sus hijos”. 32 Y lo que sobre de la carne y del pan, lo quemaréis. 33 Y no os apartaréis de la entrada de la Tienda del encuentro durante siete días. Permaneceréis allí hasta el día que se cumpla el período de vuestra consagración que durará siete días. 34 Lo que se ha hecho hoy, lo ha ordenado el Señor así para obtener vuestra expiación. 35 Permaneceréis a la entrada de la Tienda del encuentro durante siete días y siete noches, cumpliendo lo previsto por el Señor, para que no muráis. Así me ha sido ordenado.
36 Y Aarón y sus hijos cumplieron todo lo que el Señor había ordenado por medio de Moisés.
Leviticus 8
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
8 And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments [symbols of their office], and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;
3 And assemble all the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
4 Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
5 Moses told the congregation, This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.
6 Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.
7 He put on Aaron the long undertunic, girded him with the long sash, clothed him with the robe, put the ephod (an upper vestment) upon him, and girded him with the skillfully woven cords attached to the ephod, binding it to him.
8 And Moses put upon Aaron the breastplate; also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim [articles upon which the high priest put his hand when seeking the divine will concerning the nation].
9 And he put the turban or miter on his head; on it, in front, Moses put the shining gold plate, the holy diadem, as the Lord commanded him.
10 And Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.
11 And he sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the laver and its base, to consecrate them.
12 And he poured some of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him.
13 And Moses brought Aaron’s sons and put undertunics on them and girded them with sashes and wound turbans on them, as the Lord commanded Moses.
14 Then he brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.
15 Moses killed it and took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar round about with his finger and poured the blood at the base of the altar and purified and consecrated the altar to make atonement for it.
16 He took all the fat that was on the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar.
17 But the bull [the sin offering] and its hide, its flesh, and its dung he burned with fire outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.
18 He brought the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
19 And Moses killed it and dashed the blood upon the altar round about.
20 He cut the ram into pieces and Moses burned the head, the pieces, and the fat.
21 And he washed the entrails and the legs in water; then Moses burned the whole ram on the altar; it was a burnt sacrifice, for a sweet and satisfying fragrance, an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration and ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
23 And Moses killed it and took some of its blood and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.
24 And he brought Aaron’s sons and Moses put some of the blood on the tips of their right ears, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet; and Moses dashed the blood upon the altar round about.
25 And he took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh;
26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the Lord, he took one unleavened cake, a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer and put them on the fat and on the right thigh;
27 And he put all these in Aaron’s hands and his sons’ hands and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord.
28 Then Moses took these things from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering as an ordination offering, for a sweet and satisfying fragrance, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
29 And Moses took the breast and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord; for of the ram of consecration and ordination it was Moses’ portion, as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 And Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his garments, and upon his sons and their garments also; so Moses consecrated Aaron and his garments, and his sons and his sons’ garments.
31 And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the Tent of Meeting and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecration and ordination, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
32 And what remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.
33 And you shall not go out of the door of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration and ordination are ended; for it will take seven days to consecrate and ordain you.
34 As has been done this day, so the Lord has commanded to do for your atonement.
35 At the door of the Tent of Meeting you shall remain day and night for seven days, [a]doing what the Lord has charged you to do, that you die not; for so I am commanded.
36 So Aaron and his sons did all the things which the Lord commanded through Moses.
