Leviticus 8:11-33

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.

12Moses anointed Aaron's head with oil to make him holy.

13He put a robe on each of Aaron's sons. He tied cloth belts around them and cloth hats on their heads. The Lord had commanded Moses to do this.

14Moses brought the bull as a gift to God. Aaron and his sons put their hands on the bull's head.

15Moses killed the bull. He put his finger in the blood. He put the blood on the horns of the altar. That made it holy. Moses poured out the blood that he had not used. He poured it onto the floor in front of the altar. This is how he made the altar ready to make sacrifices.

16He burnt the fat and the kidneys and the best piece of the liver on the altar.

17Moses burnt the meat with the inside parts and the skin of the bull outside the camp. The Lord had said that Moses must do this.

18Moses brought a male sheep to burn as a gift to God. Aaron and his sons put their hands on the sheep's head.

19Moses killed the sheep. He threw the blood onto the sides of the altar.

20Moses cut the sheep into small pieces. He burnt the fat and the head and the pieces on the altar.

21He washed the legs and the inside parts. He burnt them on the altar as an offering to the Lord. The smell of them while they were burning gave the Lord pleasure. The Lord had said that Moses must do this.

22Moses brought the other male sheep. It was a gift. It showed that God had chosen Aaron's family to become his priests. Aaron and his sons put their hands on the sheep's head.

23Moses killed the sheep. He put some of its blood on Aaron's right ear. He also put blood on the thumb of Aaron's right hand. And he put some on the big toe of his right foot.

24Moses did the same to Aaron's sons. Then he threw blood on all the sides of the altar.

25Moses took the fat tail and the fat and the kidneys from inside the animal. He took the best piece of the liver from inside the animal. He took the top part of the right back leg.

26Moses took two flat loaves of bread that they had made without yeast and a biscuit. He took them from the basket that was in front of the Lord. One of the loaves had oil in it. He put them on top of the fat and the leg.

27Moses gave them to Aaron and to his sons. They lifted them up as a special gift to the Lord.

28Moses took the special gift from them and he burnt it on the altar. The smell of it while it was burning gave the Lord pleasure.

29Moses took his part of the animal, the meat of the ribs, and he lifted it up to the Lord. The Lord had said that Moses must do this.

30Moses took some of the oil and some of the blood from the altar. He shook them on Aaron and his sons. He also shook some of the blood and some of the oil on their clothes. He did that to make them holy.

31Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, ‘Cook the meat at the door of the Tent of Meeting. Eat the meat with the bread in the basket by the door of the Tent of Meeting.

32Burn the meat and bread that you do not eat.

33You must stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting for seven days. This will make you holy. You must stay for seven days to become holy.
