8:1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 1 8:2 “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, 8:3 and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.” 2 8:4 So Moses did just as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation assembled at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. 8:5 Then Moses said to the congregation: “This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.”
8:6 So Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water. 8:7 Then he 3 put the tunic 4 on Aaron, 5 wrapped the sash around him, 6 and clothed him with the robe. 7 Next he put the ephod on him 8 and placed on him 9 the decorated band of the ephod, and fastened the ephod closely to him with the band. 10 8:8 He then set the breastpiece 11 on him and put the Urim and Thummim 12 into the breastpiece. 8:9 Finally, he set the turban 13 on his head and attached the gold plate, the holy diadem, 14 to the front of the turban just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8:10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated them. 15 8:11 Next 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. 8:12 He then poured some of the anointing oil on the head of Aaron and anointed him to consecrate him. 8:13 Moses also brought forward Aaron’s sons, clothed them with tunics, wrapped sashes around them, 16 and wrapped headbands on them 17 just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8:14 Then he brought near the sin offering bull 18 and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the sin offering bull, 8:15 and he slaughtered it. 19 Moses then took the blood and put it all around on the horns of the altar with his finger and decontaminated the altar, 20 and he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and so consecrated it to make atonement on it. 21 8:16 Then he 22 took all the fat on the entrails, the protruding lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, 23 and Moses offered it all up in smoke on the altar, 24
