8 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

² Take Aaron with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of unction, a calf for sin, two rams, a basket with unleavened bread,

³ And thou shalt gather together all the congregation to the door of the tabernacle.

⁴ And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And all the multitude being gathered together before the door of the tabernacle,

⁵ He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done.

⁶ And immediately he offered Aaron and his sons: and when he had washed them,

⁷ He vested the high priest with the strait linen garment, girding him with the girdle, and putting on him the violet tunick, and over it he put the ephod,

⁸ And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on which was Doctrine and Truth.

⁹ He put also the mitre upon his head: and upon the mitre over the forehead, he put the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, as the Lord had commanded him.

¹⁰ He took also the oil of unction, with which he anointed the tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof.

¹¹ And when he had sanctified and sprinkled the altar seven times, he anointed it, and all the vessels thereof, and the laver with the foot thereof, he sanctified with the oil.

¹² And he poured it upon Aaron's head, and he anointed and consecrated him:

¹³ And after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunicks, and girded them with girdles, and put mitres on them as the Lord had commanded.

¹⁴ He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon the head thereof,

¹⁵ He immolated it: and took the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar round about. Which being expiated, and sanctified, he poured the rest of the blood at the bottom thereof.

¹⁶ But the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two little kidneys, with their fat, he burnt upon the altar:

¹⁷ And the calf with the skin, and the flesh and the dung, he burnt without the camp, as the Lord had commanded.

²² And stretching forth his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being finished, he came down.

²³ And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came forth and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the multitude:

²⁴ And behold a fire, coming forth from the Lord, devoured the holocaust, and the fat that was upon the altar: which when the multitude saw, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces.
