Leviticus 8
BasisBijbel
Aäron en zijn zonen worden tot priester gezalfd
8 De Heer zei tegen Mozes: 2 "Laat Aäron en zijn zonen komen. Neem de kleren voor de priesters en de hogepriester, de zalf-olie, de stier voor het vergevings-offer, de twee mannetjes-schapen en de mand met de ongegiste broden. 3 Roep dan het hele volk bij elkaar, bij de ingang van de tent van ontmoeting."
4 Mozes deed wat de Heer hem bevolen had. Het hele volk kwam naar de ingang van de tent van ontmoeting. 5 Toen zei Mozes tegen hen: "Wat we nu gaan doen, is een bevel van de Heer." 6 Hij liet Aäron en zijn zonen dichterbij komen en waste hen met water. 7 Daarna deed hij Aäron het onderkleed aan, maakte de gordel vast, trok hem het blauwe overkleed aan, deed het priesterschort daarover en maakte de gordel van het priesterschort vast. 8 Daarna maakte hij de borsttas vast en legde de Urim en de Tummim daarin.[a] 9 Hij zette hem de tulband op het hoofd. Hij maakte daarop aan de voorkant de gouden plaat vast, de heilige diadeem, zoals de Heer het Mozes bevolen had. 10 Toen nam Mozes de zalf-olie en zalfde de tent en alles wat daarin was. Zo maakte hij die klaar voor het werk voor de Heer. 11 Ook sprenkelde hij zeven keer zalf-olie op het altaar met alles wat erbij hoorde en op de waskom en het voetstuk van de waskom. Zo maakte hij ze klaar voor het werk voor de Heer. 12 Daarna goot hij zalf-olie over het hoofd van Aäron om hem zo klaar te maken om de Heer te dienen. 13 Daarna liet Mozes de zonen van Aäron dichterbij komen, trok hun de linnen kleren aan, deed hun een gordel om en zette de mutsen op hun hoofd – zoals de Heer het Mozes bevolen had.
14 Toen liet hij de stier voor het vergevings-offer brengen. Aäron en zijn zonen legden hun handen op de kop van het dier. 15 Daarna slachtte hij de stier en smeerde een deel van het bloed met zijn vinger rondom aan de horens van het altaar. Zo reinigde hij het altaar voor de Heer. De rest van het bloed goot hij uit aan de voet van het altaar. Zo maakte hij het altaar klaar voor het werk voor de Heer. 16 Hij nam al het vet dat rond de darmen zit, het vet rond de lever en de twee nieren met het vet dat daaraan zit. Dat verbrandde hij op het altaar. 17 Maar de rest van de stier, dus de huid, het vlees en de mest, verbrandde hij buiten het tentenkamp – zoals de Heer het Mozes bevolen had.
18 Toen bracht hij het mannetjes-schaap voor het brand-offer. Aäron en zijn zonen legden hun handen op de kop van het dier. 19 Mozes slachtte het schaap en wierp het bloed rondom tegen de zijkanten van het altaar. 20 Het dier sneed hij in stukken. Hij verbrandde de kop, de stukken en het vet. 21 Maar de darmen en de poten waste hij eerst met water voordat hij ze samen met de andere stukken op het altaar verbrandde. En de Heer was blij met dit offer, omdat het geofferd werd op de manier die Hij Mozes bevolen had.
22 Toen bracht hij het tweede mannetjes-schaap. Dat dier zou geofferd worden om de priesters klaar te maken om de Heer te dienen. Aäron en zijn zonen legden hun handen op de kop van het dier. 23 Mozes slachtte het en smeerde een deel van het bloed aan Aärons rechter oorlel, aan zijn rechter duim en aan zijn rechter grote teen. 24 Daarna liet hij de zonen van Aäron dichterbij komen. Hij smeerde bloed aan hun rechter oorlel, aan hun rechter duim en aan hun rechter grote teen. De rest van het bloed wierp hij rondom tegen de zijkanten van het altaar. 25 Hij haalde het vet, de staart, al het vet rond de darmen, het vet rond de lever, de twee nieren met het vet dat daaraan zit en de rechter schouder weg. 26 Uit de mand met ongegiste broden die bij het altaar stond, nam hij één ongegist brood, één broodkoek met olijf-olie en één dunne koek. Hij legde die op het vet en de rechter schouder. 27 Dat alles legde hij op de handen van Aäron en van zijn zonen. Hij hield het omhoog naar de Heer en bewoog het als een beweeg-offer heen en weer. 28 Daarna legde Mozes het op het altaar en verbrandde het. En de Heer was blij met dit offer dat Aäron en zijn zonen geschikt maakte om Hem te dienen. 29 Mozes nam het borststuk van het dier, hield het omhoog naar de Heer en bewoog het als beweeg-offer heen en weer. Dat deel van het dier was voor Mozes – zoals de Heer het Mozes bevolen had.
30 Verder sprenkelde Mozes een deel van de zalf-olie en van het bloed dat op het altaar was, op Aäron, zijn kleren, zijn zonen en de kleren van zijn zonen. Zo maakte hij Aäron, zijn kleren, zijn zonen en de kleren van zijn zonen klaar om de Heer te dienen.
31 Mozes zei tegen Aäron en zijn zonen: "Kook het vlees bij de ingang van de tent van ontmoeting. Daar moeten jullie het ook opeten, samen met het brood uit de mand, zoals ik jullie bevolen heb. 32 Wat van het vlees en het brood overblijft, moeten jullie verbranden. 33 Jullie mogen zeven dagen lang niet bij de ingang van de tent van ontmoeting weggaan. Jullie moeten daar blijven totdat de dagen van jullie inwijding voorbij zijn. Want jullie inwijding duurt zeven dagen. 34 Alles wat we vandaag gedaan hebben, is zo door de Heer bevolen om jullie voor Hem te reinigen. 35 Jullie moeten zeven dagen lang, dag en nacht, bij de ingang van de tent van ontmoeting blijven. Doe alles precies zoals ik gezegd heb. Anders zullen jullie sterven. Want zo heeft de Heer het mij bevolen." 36 En Aäron en zijn zonen deden alles wat de Heer hun door Mozes bevolen had.

New King James Version
Aaron and His Sons Consecrated(A)
8 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 (B)“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and (C)the garments, (D)the anointing oil, a (E)bull as the sin offering, two (F)rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; 3 and gather all the congregation together 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 (G)washed them with water. 7 And he (H)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 (I)put the [a]Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate. 9 (J)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 (K)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 (L)poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to consecrate him.
13 (M)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 (N)And he brought the bull for the sin offering. Then Aaron and his sons (O)laid their hands on the head of the bull for the sin offering, 15 and Moses killed it. (P)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 (Q)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 (R)had commanded Moses.
18 (S)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 (T)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, (U)as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 And (V)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 (W)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 (X)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 (Y)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 (Z)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 (AA)in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them as a wave offering before the Lord. 28 (AB)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 (AC)Moses took the (AD)breast and waved it as a wave offering before the Lord. It was Moses’ (AE)part of the ram of consecration, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 Then (AF)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, (AG)“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 (AH)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 (AI)seven days he shall consecrate you. 34 (AJ)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 (AK)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.

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.

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.

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.
