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. ³And assemble all the congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting.” ⁴And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

⁵And Moses said to the congregation, ^(D)“This is the thing that the Lord has commanded to be done.” ⁶And Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water. ⁷And 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] ⁸And he placed the breastpiece on him, and ^(F)in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim. ⁹And 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. ¹¹And 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. ¹²And ^(J)he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to consecrate him. ¹³And 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.

¹⁴Then 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. ¹⁵And 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. ¹⁷But ^(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. ¹⁹And he killed it, and Moses threw the blood against the sides of the altar. ²⁰He cut the ram into pieces, and Moses burned ^(Q)the head and the pieces and the fat. ²¹He 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.

²²Then ^(R)he presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. ²³And 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. ²⁴Then 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. ²⁵Then 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, ²⁶and 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. ²⁷And 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. ²⁸Then 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. ²⁹And 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.

³⁰Then ^(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.

English Standard Version

¹¹Then you shall kill the bull before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting, ¹²and ^(A)shall take part of the blood of the bull and put it on the ^(B)horns of the altar with your finger, and the rest of^[a] the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar. ¹³And you shall take all ^(C)the fat that covers the entrails, and the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar. ¹⁴But the flesh of the bull and its skin and its dung you shall burn with fire ^(D)outside the camp; ^(E)it is a sin offering.

¹⁵“Then ^(F)you shall take one of the rams, and ^(G)Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram, ¹⁶and you shall kill the ram and shall take its blood and throw it against the sides of the altar. ¹⁷Then you shall ^(H)cut the ram into pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with its pieces and its head, ¹⁸and burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a ^(I)pleasing aroma, a food offering^[b] to the Lord.

¹⁹^(J)“You shall take the other ram, ^(K)and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram, ²⁰and you shall kill the ram and take part of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and on the tips of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet, and throw the rest of the blood against the sides of the altar. ²¹Then you shall take part of the blood that is on the altar, and of the ^(L)anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and his sons' garments with him. He and his garments shall be holy, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

²²“You shall also take the fat from the ram and the fat tail and the ^(M)fat that covers the entrails, and the long lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of ^(N)ordination), ²³and ^(O)one loaf of bread and one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord. ²⁴You shall put all these on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and ^(P)wave them for a wave offering before the Lord. ²⁵Then ^(Q)you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a ^(R)pleasing aroma before the Lord. It is a food offering to the Lord.

²⁶“You shall take the ^(S)breast of the ram of Aaron's ^(T)ordination and ^(U)wave it for a wave offering before the Lord, and it shall be your portion. ²⁷And you shall consecrate the ^(V)breast of the wave offering that is waved and the ^(W)thigh of the priests' portion that is contributed from the ram of ^(X)ordination, from what was Aaron's and his sons'. ²⁸It shall be for Aaron and his sons as a ^(Y)perpetual due from the people of Israel, for it is a ^(Z)contribution. It shall be a ^(AA)contribution from the people of Israel from their peace offerings, their contribution to the Lord.

²⁹“The holy garments of Aaron ^(AB)shall be for his sons after him; they shall ^(AC)be anointed in them and ordained in them. ³⁰The son who succeeds him as priest, who comes into the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place, shall wear them ^(AD)seven days.

³¹“You shall take the ram of ordination and ^(AE)boil its flesh in a holy place. ³²And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the ^(AF)bread that is in the basket in the entrance of the tent of meeting. ³³^(AG)They shall eat those things with which atonement was made at their ordination and consecration, but an ^(AH)outsider shall not eat of them, because they are holy. ³⁴And if any of the flesh for the ordination or of the bread remain until the morning, then you shall ^(AI)burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

³⁵“Thus you shall do to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. Through ^(AJ)seven days shall you ordain them, ³⁶and every day you shall offer a ^(AK)bull as a sin offering for atonement. Also you shall purify the altar, when you make atonement for it, and shall ^(AL)anoint it to consecrate it. ³⁷Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it, and the ^(AM)altar shall be most holy. ^(AN)Whatever touches the altar shall become holy.
