Context of Leviticus 8:7

5Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded us to do.” 6Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come near, and he washed them with water. Then he put the tunic on Aaron and wrapped his waist with the sash, and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; and he wrapped his waist with the artistic band of the ephod, with which he fitted it to him. 8He then placed the breastpiece on him, and in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim. 9He also placed the turban on his head, and on the turban, at its front, he placed the golden plate, the holy crown, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
