Exodus 40:9-16

9“Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy.

10Then anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it will be most holy.

11Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.

12“Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

13Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest.

14Bring his sons and dress them in tunics.

15Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will be to a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations.”

16Moses did everything just as the Lord commanded him.
