Exodus 40:9-16

9“Take the anointing oil and anoint the Tabernacle and all its furnishings to consecrate them and make them holy.

10Anoint the altar of burnt offering and its utensils to consecrate them. Then the altar will become absolutely holy.

11Next anoint the washbasin and its stand to consecrate them.

12“Present Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the Tabernacle, and wash them with water.

13Dress Aaron with the sacred garments and anoint him, consecrating him to serve me as a priest.

14Then present his sons and dress them in their tunics.

15Anoint them as you did their father, so they may also serve me as priests. With their anointing, Aaron’s descendants are set apart for the priesthood forever, from generation to generation.”

16Moses proceeded to do everything just as the Lord had commanded him.
