Consecration of Aaron and his Sons - Leviticus 8

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 
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; Leviticus 8:1 - 2

Leviticus 8:3 And gather  thou all the congregation together unto the door of the  tabernacle of the congregation. 

Leviticus 8:4 And Moses did as the  LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered  together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.  

Leviticus 8:5 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the  thing which the LORD commanded to be done. 

Leviticus 8:6 And  Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with  water. 

Leviticus 8:7 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. 

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

Leviticus 8:9 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. 

Leviticus 8:10 And Moses took the  anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was  therein, and sanctified them. 

Leviticus 8:11 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. 

Leviticus 8:12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon  Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 

Leviticus 8:13  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. 

Leviticus 8:14 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.   

Leviticus 8:15 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.  

Leviticus 8:16 And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards,  and caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their  fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar. 

Leviticus 8:17 But the  bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with  fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.  

Leviticus 8:18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and  Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the  ram. 

Leviticus 8:19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the  blood upon the altar round about. 

Leviticus 8:20 And he cut the  ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces,  and the fat. 

Leviticus 8:21 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.  

Leviticus 8:22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of  consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon  the head of the ram. 

Leviticus 8:23 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. 

Leviticus 8:24 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. 

Leviticus 8:25 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: 

Leviticus 8:26 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: 

Leviticus 8:27 And he put all upon Aaron’s hands, and  upon his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering  before the LORD. 

Leviticus 8:28 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. 

Leviticus 8:29 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. 

Leviticus 8:30 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.  

Leviticus 8:31 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. 

Leviticus 8:32 And that which remaineth of the flesh  and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. 

Leviticus 8:33 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. 

Leviticus 8:34 As he  hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do,  to make an atonement for you. 

Leviticus 8:35 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. 

Leviticus 8:36 So Aaron  and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by  the hand of Moses.
