1The LORD told Moses,

1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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

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 then assemble the entire congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting."

3and assemble all the congregation at the doorway 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.

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

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

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

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

6Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come near and washed them with water.

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.

7He put the tunic on him and girded him with the sash, and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the artistic band of the ephod, with which he tied it to him.

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

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

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.

9He also placed the turban on his head, and on the turban, at its front, he placed the golden plate, the holy crown, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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

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

11He 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.

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

12Then he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

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.

13Next Moses had Aaron's sons come near and clothed them with tunics, and girded them with sashes and bound caps on them, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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.

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.

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.

15Next Moses slaughtered it and took the blood and with his finger put some of it around on the horns of the altar, and purified the altar. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it, to make atonement for it.

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

16He also took all the fat that was on the entrails and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat; and Moses offered it up in smoke on the altar.

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

17But the bull and its hide and its flesh and its refuse he burned in the fire outside the camp, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

18Next, he brought the ram for the whole burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,

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

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

19Moses slaughtered it and sprinkled the blood around on the altar.

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

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.

21After he had washed the entrails and the legs with water, Moses offered up the whole ram in smoke on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a soothing aroma; it was an offering by fire to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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.

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

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

23Moses slaughtered it and 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.

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.

24He also had Aaron's sons come near; and Moses put some of the blood on the lobe of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. Moses then sprinkled the rest of the blood around on the altar.

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.

25He took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the entrails, and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and 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.

26From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake and one cake of bread mixed with oil and one wafer, and placed them on the portions of fat and on the right thigh.

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.

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.

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.

28Then Moses took them from their hands and offered them up in smoke on the altar with the burnt offering. They were an ordination offering for a soothing aroma; it was an offering by fire to the LORD.

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.

29Moses also took the breast and presented it for a wave offering before the LORD; it was Moses' portion of the ram of ordination, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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.

30So 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, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

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,

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.'

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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."

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 that the LORD had commanded through Moses.

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