Leviticus 8:1-11

1Then the Lord said to Moses,

2“Bring Aaron and his sons, along with their sacred garments, the anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of bread made without yeast,

3and call the entire community of Israel together at the entrance of the Tabernacle.”

4So Moses followed the Lord’s instructions, and the whole community assembled at the Tabernacle entrance.

5Moses announced to them, “This is what the Lord has commanded us to do!”

6Then he presented Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

7He put the official tunic on Aaron and tied the sash around his waist. He dressed him in the robe, placed the ephod on him, and attached the ephod securely with its decorative sash.

8Then Moses placed the chestpiece on Aaron and put the Urim and the Thummim inside it.

9He placed the turban on Aaron’s head and attached the gold medallion—the badge of holiness—to the front of the turban, just as the Lord had commanded him.

10Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the Tabernacle and everything in it, making them holy.

11He sprinkled the oil on the altar seven times, anointing it and all its utensils, as well as the washbasin and its stand, making them holy.
