Leviticus 8:1-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Rites of Ordination

8 The Lord said to the Moses, ² “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, 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 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the tent of meeting.

⁵ And Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded to be done.” ⁶ And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. ⁷ And he put on him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and girded him with the skilfully woven band of the ephod, binding it to him therewith. ⁸ And he placed the breastpiece on him, and in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim. ⁹ And he set the turban upon his head, and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown, as the Lord commanded Moses.

¹⁰ Then Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.
