Leviticus 8:14-30
Lexham English Bible
The Offerings for Consecration
14 Then[a] he brought forth the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering, 15 and he slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood and put[b] it with his finger on the altar’s horns all around and purified the altar; then[c] he poured the blood out on the altar’s base—thus[d] he consecrated it in order to make atonement for it.[e] 16 Then[f] he took all the fat that was on the inner parts[g] and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses turned them into smoke on the altar, 17 but[h] he burned the bull and its skin and its meat and its offal in the fire outside the camp,[i] just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
18 Then[j] he brought the ram of the burnt offering near, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram’s head, 19 and he slaughtered it. Then[k] Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around. 20 Then[l] he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses turned into smoke the head and the pieces and the suet, 21 but[m] he washed the inner parts[n] and the lower leg bones with water, and Moses turned into smoke all of the ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering as an appeasing fragrance, an offering made by fire for[o] Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
22 Then[p] he brought the second ram near, the ram of the consecration, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram’s head, 23 and he slaughtered it. Then[q] Moses took some of[r] its blood and put[s] it on Aaron’s right ear lobe and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe. 24 Then[t] he brought Aaron’s sons near, and Moses put some of[u] the blood on their right ear lobe and on their right hand’s thumb and on their right foot’s big toe, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.
25 Then[v] he took the fat and the fat tail and all of the fat that was on the inner parts[w] and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right upper thigh; 26 and from the basket of the unleavened bread that was before Yahweh he took one ring-shaped unleavened bread and one ring-shaped bread with[x] oil and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat parts[y] and on the right upper thigh. 27 Then[z] he put all of these[aa] on Aaron’s palms and on his sons’ palms, and he waved them as a wave offering before[ab] Yahweh. 28 Then[ac] Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they were a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance—it was an offering made by fire for[ad] Yahweh. 29 Then[ae] Moses took the breast section, and he waved it as a wave offering before[af] Yahweh from the ram of the consecration offering; it was Moses’ share, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
Anointing the Priests and Their Garments
30 Then[ag] Moses took some of[ah] the anointing oil and some of[ai] the blood that was on the altar, and he spattered them on Aaron, on his garments, and on Aaron’s sons and on his sons’ garments with him—thus[aj] he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.
