Chapter 8

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Take³ 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;

And gather thou all the congregation together⁵⁴ unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And Moses did⁴ as the LORD commanded¹⁴ him; and the assembly was gathered together¹¹ unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And Moses said⁴ unto the congregation, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded¹⁴ to be done.²

And Moses brought⁵⁵ Aaron and his sons, and washed⁴ them with water.

And he put⁴ upon him the coat, and girded⁴ him with the girdle, and clothed⁵⁵ him with the robe, and put⁴ the ephod upon him, and he girded⁴ him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound⁴ [it] unto him therewith.

And he put⁴ the breastplate upon him: also he put⁴ in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.

And he put⁴ the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, [even] upon his forefront, ⁴¹³⁶ did he put⁴ the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses.

And Moses took⁴ the anointing oil, and anointed⁴ the tabernacle and all that [was] therein, and sanctified¹⁷ them.

And he sprinkled⁵⁵ thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed⁴ the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify¹⁵ them.

And he poured⁴ of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed⁴ him, to sanctify¹⁵ him.

And Moses brought⁵⁵ Aaron's sons, and put⁵⁵ coats upon them, and girded⁴ them with girdles, and put⁴ bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses.

And he brought⁵⁵ the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid⁴ their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.

And he slew⁴ [it]; and Moses took⁴ the blood, and put⁴ [it] upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified¹⁷ the altar, and poured¹ the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified¹⁷ it, to make reconciliation¹⁵ upon it.

And he took⁴ all the fat that [was] upon the inwards, and the caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned⁵⁵ [it] upon the altar.

But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt¹ with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses.

And he brought⁵⁵ the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid⁴ their hands upon the head of the ram.

And he killed⁴ [it]; and Moses sprinkled⁴ the blood upon the altar round about.

And he cut¹⁴ the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt⁵⁵ the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

And he washed¹ the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt⁵⁵ 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 commanded¹⁴ Moses.

And he brought⁵⁵ the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid⁴ their hands upon the head of the ram.

And he slew⁴ [it]; and Moses took⁴ of the blood of it, and put⁴ [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.

And he brought⁵⁵ Aaron's sons, and Moses put⁴ 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 sprinkled⁴ the blood upon the altar round about.

And he took⁴ 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:

And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that [was] before the LORD, he took¹ one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put⁴ [them] on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:

And he put⁴ all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved⁵⁵ them [for] a wave offering before the LORD.

And Moses took⁴ them from off their hands, and burnt⁵⁵ [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.

And Moses took⁴ the breast, and waved⁵⁵ it [for] a wave offering before the LORD: [for] of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses.

And Moses took⁴ of the anointing oil, and of the blood which [was] upon the altar, and sprinkled⁵⁵ [it] upon Aaron, [and] upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified¹⁷ Aaron, [and] his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

And Moses said⁴ unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil¹⁶ the flesh [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat⁴ it with the bread that [is] in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded,¹⁴ saying,² Aaron and his sons shall eat⁴ it.

And that which remaineth¹² of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn⁴ with fire.

And ye shall not go out⁴ of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation [in] seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end:^{2 3117} for seven days shall he consecrate^{17 3027} you.

As he hath done¹ this day, [so] the LORD hath commanded¹⁴ to do,² to make an atonement¹⁵ for you.

Therefore shall ye abide⁴ [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep¹ the charge of the LORD, that ye die⁴ not: for so I am commanded.²⁷

So Aaron and his sons did⁴ all things which the LORD commanded¹⁴ by the hand of Moses.
