1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

1The LORD told 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.

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

3And assemble all the congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting.”

3and then assemble the entire congregation at the entrance to 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.

4So Moses did just as the LORD had commanded him. He assembled the congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

5And Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing that the LORD has commanded to be done.”

5Moses told the congregation, "This is what the LORD commanded to be done."

6And Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

6Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

7And he put 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.

7Then he clothed Aaron with the tunic, girded him with the band for priests, clothed him with the robe, placed the ephod on him, girded him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and bound it on him.

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

8He set the breastplate on him, placed the Urim and Thummim on top of the breastplate,

9And he set the turban on his head, and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown, as the LORD commanded Moses.

9then he set the turban on his head. On the turban at the front he set the golden plate, the sacred crown that the LORD had commanded.

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

10After this, Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tent, consecrating everything that was in it.

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.

11He sprinkled some on the altar seven times, and then anointed the altar, all its vessels, the basin, and its base to consecrate them.

12And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him.

12After doing this, he poured the oil of anointing on Aaron's head to anoint and 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.

13Then Moses brought Aaron's sons, clothed them with the tunics, girded them with the bands, and bound turbans on them, just as the LORD had commanded him.

14Then he brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

14Next, he brought the bull for a sin offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the bull's head for a sin offering.

15And he killed it, and 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.

15So Moses slaughtered it, took the blood, and applied some of it at the horns of the altar and around it with his fingers, thus purifying the altar. Then he poured the blood at the base of the altar, thereby sanctifying it as a means to make atonement with it.

16And 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.

16Moses burned on the altar all the fat on the internal organs, the appendage on the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat.

17But the bull and its skin and its flesh and its dung he burned up with fire outside the camp, as the LORD commanded Moses.

17As to the bull and its fat, skin, and offal, he incinerated them outside the camp, just as the LORD had commanded him.

18Then he presented the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

18Next, he brought the ram for the whole burnt offering. 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.

19and Moses slaughtered it and poured its blood over and around the altar.

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

20As to the ram, he cut it into parts at the joints, burned the head, the internal organs, 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.

21washed the internal organs and the thigh with water, and then burned the entire ram on the altar as a whole burnt offering, a pleasing aroma of an offering made by fire to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

22Then he presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

22Moses brought the ram—that is, the second of the rams—for consecration. 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 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.

23Moses then slaughtered it, took some of its blood, and put it on Aaron's right earlobe, right thumb, and right great toe.

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.

24Then Moses brought Aaron's sons, took some of the ram's blood, put it on their right earlobes, on their right thumbs, and on their right great toes, and then poured the blood on the altar and all around it.

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,

25Then he took the fat from the tail, all the fat on the internal organs, the appendage of the liver, the two kidneys with the 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.

26From the basket of unleavened bread that is in the LORD'S presence he took one piece of unleavened bread, one cake spread with olive oil, and one wafer, which he placed over the fat and 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.

27He put all of these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and they all waved them in a raised offering to 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.

28After this, Moses took those things from their hands and burned them on the altar over the whole burnt offering for consecration. They served as a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire 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.

29Moses took the breast and waved it as a raised offering in the LORD's presence as the portion that belonged to Moses from the ram of consecration, just as the LORD had commanded him.

30Then 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.

30Moses took some anointing oil and blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his clothes, on his sons, and on their clothes, consecrating Aaron, his clothes, his sons, and their clothes.

31And 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.’

31Then he told Aaron and his sons, "Boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. You may eat it there, along with the bread that is in the basket for consecration, just as I've commanded when I told him, 'Aaron and his sons may eat of it,

32And what remains of the flesh and the bread you shall burn up with fire.

32but the leftover meat and bread is to be incinerated.'

33And 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 will take seven days to ordain you.

33Furthermore, you are not to go out past the entrance to the Tent of Meeting until the days of your ordination have been completed, since it will take seven days to ordain you.

34As has been done today, the LORD has commanded to be done to make atonement for you.

34What has been done today has been commanded by the LORD to make atonement for you.

35At the entrance of the tent of meeting you shall remain day and night for seven days, performing what the LORD has charged, so that you do not die, for so I have been commanded.”

35Stay seven days and nights at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and attend to the service of the LORD, so that you won't die, because this is what I've commanded."

36And Aaron and his sons did all the things that the LORD commanded by Moses.

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