Leviticus 8:1-11

1The Lord said to Moses,

2‘Fetch Aaron and his sons. Bring their special clothes. Bring the oil. Bring the basket of bread that they made without yeast. Also bring the bull for the sin offering and the two male sheep.

3Cause all the people to come to the door of the Tent of Meeting.’

4Moses did what the Lord said. Moses and the priests and all the people came to the door of the Tent of Meeting.

5Moses said to the people, ‘The Lord said that I must do this.’

6Moses washed Aaron and his sons with water.

7Moses put a shirt on Aaron and he tied a belt round Aaron. He put a robe and an ephod on him. He tied the ephod with its special belt.

8Moses put the breastpiece on Aaron, and he put the Urim and Thummim in its pocket.

9Moses tied a piece of linen as a hat round Aaron's head. On the front of this linen he put a plate of gold with valuable stones on it. The Lord had said that Moses must do this.

10Moses put some of the special olive oil on the tabernacle and on everything in it. He did this to make those things holy.

11Moses shook oil on the altar seven times. He put oil on the altar table and on all the tools to use with it. He put oil on the washing dish and on the table on which it stood.
