1The LORD spoke to Moses:

1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2"Take Aaron, his sons with him, the garments, the anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

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,

3and assemble the whole community at the entrance to the tent of meeting."

3and assemble all the congregation at the doorway of the tent of meeting."

4So Moses did as the LORD commanded him, and the community assembled at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

4So Moses did just as the LORD commanded him. When the congregation was assembled at the doorway of the tent of meeting,

5Moses said to them, "This is what the LORD has commanded to be done."

5Moses said to the congregation, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded to do."

6Then Moses presented Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

8Then he put the breastpiece on him and placed the Urim and Thummim into the breastpiece.

8He then placed the breastpiece on him, and in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim.

9He also put the turban on his head and placed the gold medallion, the holy diadem, on the front of the turban, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

10Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it to consecrate them.

20Moses cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat,

20When he had cut the ram into its pieces, Moses offered up the head and the pieces and the suet in smoke.

21but he washed the entrails and legs with water. He then burned the entire ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the LORD as he had commanded Moses.

27He then put all these on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons and presented 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 for a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the LORD.

31Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "Boil the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket for the ordination offering as I commanded: Aaron and his sons are to eat it.

31Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the flesh at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and eat it there together with the bread which is in the basket of the ordination offering, just as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'

32Burn up what remains of the meat and bread.

32"The remainder of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn in the fire.

33Do not go outside the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days, until the time your days of ordination are completed, because it will take seven days to ordain you.

33"You shall not go outside the doorway of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the day that the period of your ordination is fulfilled; for he will ordain you through seven days.

34The LORD commanded what has been done today in order to make atonement for you.

34"The LORD has commanded to do as has been done this day, to make atonement on your behalf.

35You must remain at the entrance to the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and keep the LORD's charge so that you will not die, for this is what I was commanded."

35"At the doorway of the tent of meeting, moreover, you shall remain day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the LORD, so that you will not die, for so I have been commanded."

36So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD had commanded through Moses.

36Thus Aaron and his sons did all the things which the LORD had commanded through Moses.
