The Consecration of Aaron and His Sons |
|
|
 |
| Leviticus 8:1 |
|
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:2 |
|
"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, |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 8:3 |
|
and assemble all the congregation at the doorway
of the tent of meeting." |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 8:4 |
|
So Moses did just as the LORD commanded him.
When the congregation was assembled at the doorway of the tent of meeting, |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 8:5 |
|
Moses said to the congregation, "This is the
thing which the LORD has commanded to do." |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 8:6 |
|
Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come near
and washed them with water. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 8:7 |
|
He 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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:8 |
|
He then placed the breastpiece on him, and
in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:9 |
|
He 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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:10 |
|
Moses then took the anointing oil and anointed
the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:11 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:12 |
|
Then he poured some of the anointing oil on
Aaron's head and anointed him, to consecrate him. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:13 |
|
Next 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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:14 |
|
Then 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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:15 |
|
Next 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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:16 |
|
He 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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:17 |
|
But 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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:18 |
|
Then he presented the ram of the burnt offering,
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:19 |
|
Moses slaughtered it and sprinkled the blood
around on the altar. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 8:20 |
|
When he had cut the ram into its pieces, Moses
offered up the head and the pieces and the suet in smoke. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 8:21 |
|
After 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:22 |
|
Then he presented the second ram, the ram of
ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:23 |
|
Moses 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:24 |
|
He 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:25 |
|
He 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:26 |
|
From 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:27 |
|
He 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:28 |
|
Then 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:29 |
|
Moses 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:30 |
|
So 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:31 |
|
Then 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.' |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:32 |
|
The remainder of the flesh and of the bread
you shall burn in the fire. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:33 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:34 |
|
The LORD has commanded to do as has been done
this day, to make atonement on your behalf. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:35 |
|
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." |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 8:36 |
|
Thus Aaron and his sons did all the things which
the LORD had commanded through Moses. |
