Leviticus 8:14-36
14Then he brought 1the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering. 15Next 2Moses slaughtered it and took the blood and with his finger 3put some of it around on the horns of the altar, and purified the altar. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it, to make atonement for it. 16He also 4took all the fat that was on the entrails and the 5lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat; and Moses offered it up in smoke on the altar. 176But the bull and its hide, its flesh, and its refuse he burned in the fire outside the camp, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
18Then he presented 7the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 19And 8Moses slaughtered it and sprinkled the blood around on the altar. 20When he had cut the ram into its pieces, Moses 9offered up the head and the pieces and the suet in smoke. 21After he had washed the entrails and the legs with water, Moses 10offered up the whole ram in smoke on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a soothing aroma; it was an offering by fire to the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22Then he presented the second ram, 11the ram of 12ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 2313And Moses slaughtered it and took some of its blood and 14put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. 24He also had Aaron’s sons come near; and Moses put some of the blood on the lobe of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. Moses then 15sprinkled the rest of the blood around on the altar. 25He then took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the entrails, and the 16lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh. 26And 17from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he took one unleavened cake and one cake of bread mixed with oil and one wafer, and placed them on the portions of fat and on the right thigh. 27He then 18put all these on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons, and presented them as a wave offering before the Lord. 28Then Moses 19took them from their hands and offered them up in smoke on the altar with the burnt offering. They were an ordination offering for 20a soothing aroma; it was an offering by fire to the Lord. 29Moses also took 21the breast and presented it as a wave offering before the Lord; it was 22Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30So Moses 23took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
31Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “24Boil the flesh at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and eat it there together with the bread which is in the basket of the ordination offering, just as I commanded, 25saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’ 32And 26the remainder of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn in the fire. 33And 27you shall not go outside the doorway of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the day that the period of your ordination is fulfilled; for he will 28ordain you through seven days. 34The Lord has commanded us to do as has been done this day, to make atonement on your behalf. 35At the doorway of the tent of meeting, moreover, you shall remain day and night for seven days and 29fulfill your duty to the Lord, so that you will not die; for so I have been commanded.” 36Aaron and his sons did all the things which the Lord had commanded through Moses.
