Leviticus 8
English Standard Version
Consecration of Aaron and His Sons
8 (A)The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and (B)the garments and (C)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 entrance of the tent of meeting.” 4 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
5 And Moses said to the congregation, (D)“This is the thing that the Lord has commanded to be done.” 6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water. 7 And he put (E)the 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.[a] 8 And he placed the breastpiece on him, and (F)in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim. 9 And he set (G)the turban on his head, and (H)on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown, as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 (I)Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them. 11 And 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. 12 And (J)he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to consecrate him. 13 And 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.
14 Then he brought (K)the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons (L)laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering. 15 And he[b] killed it, and (M)Moses took the blood, and with his finger put it on the horns of the altar around it and purified the altar and poured out the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it to make atonement for it. 16 (N)And he took all the fat that was on the entrails and the long lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar. 17 But (O)the bull and its skin and its flesh and its dung he burned up with fire outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.
18 (P)Then he presented the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 19 And he killed it, and Moses threw the blood against the sides of the altar. 20 He cut the ram into pieces, and Moses burned (Q)the head and the pieces and the fat. 21 He washed the entrails and the legs with water, and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering with a pleasing aroma, a food offering for the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 Then (R)he presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 23 And he killed it, and Moses took some of its blood and (S)put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. 24 Then he presented Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet. And Moses threw the blood against the sides of the altar. 25 Then he took the fat and the fat tail and all the fat that was on the entrails and the long lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat and the right thigh, 26 and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord he took one unleavened loaf and one loaf of bread with oil and one wafer and placed them on the pieces of fat and on the right thigh. 27 And he put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons and waved them as a wave offering before the Lord. 28 Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering with a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord. 29 And Moses took the breast and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord. It was Moses' portion of the ram of ordination, as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 Then (T)Moses took some of the anointing oil and of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his garments, and also on his sons and his sons' garments. So he consecrated Aaron and his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.
31 And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’ 32 And what remains of the flesh and the bread you shall burn up with fire. 33 And you shall not go outside the entrance of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are completed, for it (U)will take seven days to ordain you. 34 As has been done today, the Lord has commanded to be done to make atonement for you. 35 At the entrance of the tent of meeting you shall remain day and night for seven days, performing what the Lord has (V)charged, so that you do not die, for so I have been commanded.” 36 And Aaron and his sons did all the things that the Lord commanded by Moses.

Consagración de Aarón y de sus hijos
8 (A)Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: 2 «Toma a Aarón y con él a sus hijos(B), y las vestiduras(C), el aceite de la unción(D), el novillo de la ofrenda por el pecado, los dos carneros y la cesta de los panes sin levadura; 3 y reúne a toda la congregación a la entrada de la tienda de reunión». 4 Moisés hizo tal como el Señor le ordenó, y cuando la congregación se había reunido a la entrada de la tienda de reunión, 5 Moisés dijo a la congregación: «Esto es lo que el Señor ha ordenado hacer».
6 Entonces Moisés hizo que Aarón y sus hijos se acercaran, y los lavó con agua(E). 7 Puso sobre él la túnica, lo ciñó con el cinturón y lo vistió con el manto; luego le puso el efod, y lo ciñó con el cinto tejido del efod, con el cual se lo ató(F). 8 Después le puso el pectoral, y dentro del pectoral puso el Urim y el Tumim[a](G). 9 Puso también la tiara sobre su cabeza, y sobre la tiara, al frente, puso la lámina de oro(H), la diadema santa, tal como el Señor había ordenado a Moisés.
10 Entonces Moisés tomó el aceite de la unción(I) y ungió el tabernáculo y todo lo que en él había, y los consagró(J). 11 Con el aceite roció el altar siete veces y ungió el altar y todos sus utensilios, así como la pila y su base, para consagrarlos(K). 12 Después derramó del aceite de la unción sobre la cabeza de Aarón y lo ungió, para consagrarlo(L).
13 Luego Moisés hizo que los hijos de Aarón se acercaran y los vistió con túnicas, los ciñó con cinturones, y les ajustó las tiaras tal como el Señor había ordenado a Moisés(M).
14 Entonces trajo el novillo de la ofrenda por el pecado, y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del novillo de la ofrenda por el pecado(N). 15 Después Moisés lo degolló y tomó la sangre y con su dedo puso parte de ella en los cuernos del altar por todos los lados, y purificó el altar. Luego derramó el resto de la sangre al pie del altar y lo consagró(O), para hacer expiación por él(P).
16 Tomó también toda la grasa que había en las entrañas y el lóbulo del hígado, y los dos riñones con su grasa, y Moisés los quemó sobre el altar(Q). 17 Pero el novillo, con su piel, su carne y su estiércol, lo quemó en el fuego fuera del campamento(R), tal como el Señor había mandado a Moisés.
18 Entonces presentó el carnero del holocausto(S), y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero. 19 Y Moisés lo degolló y roció la sangre sobre el altar, por todos los lados. 20 Cuando había cortado el carnero en pedazos, Moisés quemó la cabeza, los pedazos y el sebo(T). 21 Después de lavar las entrañas y las patas con agua, Moisés quemó todo el carnero sobre el altar. Fue holocausto de aroma agradable; fue ofrenda encendida para el Señor(U), tal como el Señor había ordenado a Moisés.
22 Luego presentó el segundo carnero, el carnero de la consagración(V), y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero. 23 Moisés lo degolló y tomó de la sangre y la puso en el lóbulo de la oreja derecha de Aarón, en el pulgar de su mano derecha y en el pulgar de su pie derecho(W). 24 Hizo también que se acercaran los hijos de Aarón; y Moisés puso sangre en el lóbulo de la oreja derecha de ellos, en el pulgar de su mano derecha y en el pulgar de su pie derecho. Entonces Moisés roció el resto de la sangre sobre el altar, por todos los lados(X). 25 Después tomó la grasa y la cola gorda, y toda la grasa que estaba en las entrañas, el lóbulo del hígado, los dos riñones con su grasa y la pierna derecha. 26 Y de la cesta de los panes sin levadura que estaba delante del Señor, tomó una torta sin levadura, una torta de pan mezclada con aceite y un hojaldre(Y), y los puso sobre las porciones de grasa y sobre la pierna derecha. 27 Entonces lo puso todo en las manos de Aarón y en las manos de sus hijos, y lo presentó como una ofrenda mecida delante del Señor(Z).
28 Después Moisés tomó todo esto de las manos de ellos y lo quemó en el altar con el holocausto. Fue una ofrenda de consagración como aroma agradable, ofrenda encendida para el Señor(AA). 29 Moisés tomó también el pecho y lo presentó como ofrenda mecida delante del Señor(AB); era la porción del carnero de la consagración que pertenecía a Moisés(AC), tal como el Señor le había ordenado.
30 Moisés tomó del aceite de la unción y de la sangre que estaba sobre el altar, y roció a Aarón y sus vestiduras, y a sus hijos y las vestiduras de sus hijos; y consagró a Aarón y sus vestiduras, y a sus hijos y las vestiduras de sus hijos con él(AD).
31 Entonces Moisés dijo a Aarón y a sus hijos: «Cuezan la carne a la entrada de la tienda de reunión, y cómanla allí junto con el pan que está en la cesta de la ofrenda de consagración, tal como lo he ordenado, diciendo: “Aarón y sus hijos lo comerán(AE)”. 32 El resto de la carne y del pan ustedes lo quemarán en el fuego(AF). 33 Y no saldrán de la entrada de la tienda de reunión por siete días, hasta que termine el tiempo de su consagración; porque por siete días serán consagrados(AG). 34 El Señor ha mandado hacer tal como se ha hecho hoy, para hacer expiación a favor de ustedes. 35 Además, permanecerán a la entrada de la tienda de reunión día y noche por siete días, y guardarán la ordenanza del Señor(AH) para que no mueran, porque así se me ha ordenado». 36 Y Aarón y sus hijos hicieron todas las cosas que el Señor había ordenado por medio de Moisés.

Leviticus 8
King James Version
8 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;
3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
5 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the Lord commanded to be done.
6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
7 And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.
8 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
9 And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the Lord commanded Moses.
14 And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
15 And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
16 And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar.
17 But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the Lord commanded Moses.
18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
23 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
25 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the Lord, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:
27 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord.
28 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
29 And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
31 And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
32 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.
34 As he hath done this day, so the Lord hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.
35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
