Context of Leviticus 8:6
4So Moses did as Adonai commanded him. When the congregation was assembled at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, 5Moses said to the congregation, “This is what Adonai has commanded to be done.” Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water. 7He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash on him, clothed him with the robe, put the ephod on him, and tied the skillfully decorated sash of the ephod around him and fastened it on him. 8He then placed the breastplate on Aaron, and inside the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim.
