Leviticus 8:1-11

1The Lord spoke to Moses,

2“Take Aaron and his sons, the priests’ clothes, the anointing oil, the bull that will be the offering for sin, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread.

3Gather the whole congregation at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”

4Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation gathered at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

5Moses told the congregation, “The Lord has commanded that this is what you must do.”

6Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward, and he washed them.

7He put the linen robe on Aaron and fastened the belt around him. He also dressed him in the robe that is worn with the ephod. He fastened the ephod to it.

8Then he put the breastplate on him, and into it he placed the Urim and Thummim.

9He put the turban on him and fastened the gold medallion (the holy crown) to the front of the turban as the Lord had commanded Moses.

10Moses took the anointing oil to anoint the tent and everything in it and dedicate them.

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