Leviticus, 8

1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

1. Yahweh spoke to Moses; he said:

2. Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;

2. "Take Aaron, his sons with him, and the vestments, the anointing oil, the bull for the sacrifice for sin, the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread.

3. And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

3. Then call the whole community together at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting."

4. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

4. Moses did as Yahweh commanded; the community gathered at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,

5. And Moses said unto the congregation, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.

5. and Moses said to them, "This is what Yahweh has commanded."

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

6. He made Aaron and his sons come forward, and washed them with water.

7. And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound [it] unto him therewith.

7. He put the shirt on Aaron, passed the sash around his waist, dressed him in the robe and put the Ephod on him. Then he tied around his waist the woven band of the Ephod with which he clothed him.

8. And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.

8. He put the embroidered linen Breastpiece on him, and placed the Urim and Thummim in it.

9. And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, [even] upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.

9. He put the turban on his head, with the golden ornament on the front; this is the sacred sign of dedication as Yahweh commanded Moses to do.

10. And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that [was] therein, and sanctified them.

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

11. And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.

11. He sprinkled the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and its furnishings, the basin and its stand, to dedicate them all to Yahweh.

12. And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.

12. Then he ordained Aaron by pouring the anointing oil on his head.

13. And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.

13. Then Moses made Aaron's sons come forward; he put the shirts on them, tied the sashes around their waists and put on their headdresses, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.

14. And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.

14. Then he had the bull for the sacrifice for sin brought forward. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the bull's head

15. And he slew [it]; and Moses took the blood, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.

15. and Moses slaughtered it. Then he took the blood and with his finger put some of it on the corners around the altar, to take away its sin. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar, which he dedicated to Yahweh by performing the atonement over it.

16. And he took all the fat that [was] upon the inwards, and the caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned [it] upon the altar.

16. Then he took all the fat that covers the internal organs, the best part of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat; and he burned them all on the altar.

17. But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.

17. After that he burned outside the camp the bull's skin, its flesh and its intestines as Yahweh had commanded him to do.

18. And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

18. Then he had the ram for the burnt offering brought forward. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head

19. And he killed [it]; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

19. and Moses slaughtered it. He poured its blood out on the sides of the altar.

20. And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

20. Then he quartered the ram and burned the head, the pieces and the fat.

21. And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it [was] a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, [and] an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

21. He washed the internal organs and legs, and burned the whole ram on the altar. This was a burnt offering, a sweet-smelling offering to Yahweh, a burnt offering by fire for Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

22. And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

22. Then he had the other ram brought forward, for the sacrifice of ordination of priests. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram's head

23. And he slew [it]; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put [it] upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.

23. and Moses slaughtered it. He took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot.

24. And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

24. Then he made the sons of Aaron come forward and he put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears, the thumbs of their right hands and the big toes of their right feet. Next Moses poured the rest of the blood on the sides of the altar.

25. And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that [was] upon the inwards, and the caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:

25. Then he took the fat: the tail, all the fat that is on the internal organs, the best part of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right hind leg.

26. And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that [was] before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put [them] on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:

26. From the basket of unleavened bread placed before Yahweh, he took an unleavened cake, a loaf of bread made with oil, and a wafer; he placed these on the fat and the right hind leg,

27. And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them [for] a wave offering before the LORD.

27. put it all into Aaron's hands and those of his sons, who waved them before Yahweh.

28. And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt [them] on the altar upon the burnt offering: they [were] consecrations for a sweet savour: it [is] an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

28. Then Moses took them back and burned them on the altar in addition to the burnt offering. This was the sacrifice for ordination of priests, a sweet-smelling offering to Yahweh, an offering by fire to Yahweh.

29. And Moses took the breast, and waved it [for] a wave offering before the LORD: [for] of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD commanded Moses.

29. Then Moses took the breast and made the gesture of offering before Yahweh. This was the share of the ram of ordination for Moses, as Yahweh had commanded.

30. And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which [was] upon the altar, and sprinkled [it] upon Aaron, [and] upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, [and] his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

30. Then Moses took the anointing oil and the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled Aaron and his vestments with it, and his sons and their vestments. In this way he consecrated Aaron and his vestments, and his sons and their vestments to Yahweh.

31. And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that [is] in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.

31. Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "Cook the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and eat it there, and also the bread for the sacrifice of priestly ordination that is in the basket, as I commanded, when I said: Aaron and his sons are to eat it.

32. And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.

32. What remains of the meat and bread you will burn.

33. And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation [in] seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.

33. For seven days you must not leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, until the time of your ordination is over, for your hands will be consecrated for seven days.

34. As he hath done this day, [so] the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.

34. All that we have done today is the rite of atonement for you as Yahweh has commanded us to do

35. Therefore shall ye abide [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.

35. and for seven days, day and night, you must remain at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, doing what Yahweh has commanded, lest you die. For this is the commandment I received."

36. So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

36. And Aaron and his sons did everything that Yahweh had commanded through Moses.
