Leviticus 8:1-11

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses:

2“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, the anointing oil, the sin offering bull, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

3and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.”

4So Moses did just as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation assembled at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.

5Then Moses said to the congregation: “This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.”

6So Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water.

7Then he put the tunic on Aaron, wrapped the sash around him, and clothed him with the robe. Next he put the ephod on him and placed on him the decorated band of the ephod, and fastened the ephod closely to him with the band.

8He then set the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim into the breastpiece.

9Finally, he set the turban on his head and attached the gold plate, the holy diadem, to the front of the turban just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

10Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated them.

11Next he sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times and so anointed the altar, all its vessels, and the wash basin and its stand to consecrate them.
