Leviticus 8:1-11

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments [which are symbols of their office], and the anointing oil, and the bull for the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;

3and assemble the entire congregation at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting.”

4Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting.

5Moses said to the congregation, “This is what the Lord has commanded us to do.”

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

7He put the undertunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him in the robe, and put the ephod (an upper vestment) on him. He tied the [skillfully woven] band of the ephod around him, with which he secured it to Aaron.

8Moses then put the breastpiece on Aaron, and he put in the breastpiece the Urim and the Thummim [the sacred articles the high priest used when seeking God’s will concerning the nation].

9He also put the turban on Aaron’s head, and on it, in the front, Moses placed the golden plate, the holy crown, just as the Lord had commanded him.

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

11He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.
