1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:1The LORD said to Moses,
2“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, the anointing oil, a bull as the sin offering, two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;2"Bring Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering, the two rams and the basket containing bread made without yeast,
3and gather all the congregation together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.”3and gather the entire assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting."
4So Moses did as the LORD commanded him. And the congregation was gathered together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.4Moses did as the LORD commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
5And Moses said to the congregation, “This is what the LORD commanded to be done.”5Moses said to the assembly, "This is what the LORD has commanded to be done."
6Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.6Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water.
7And he put the tunic on him, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the intricately woven band of the ephod, and with it tied the ephod on him.7He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him. He also fastened the ephod with a decorative waistband, which he tied around him.
8Then he put the breastplate on him, and he put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate.8He placed the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.
9And he put the turban on his head. Also on the turban, on its front, he put the golden plate, the holy crown, as the LORD had commanded Moses.9Then he placed the turban on Aaron's head and set the gold plate, the sacred emblem, on the front of it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
10Also Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.10Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated them.

15and Moses killed it. Then he took the blood, and put some on the horns of the altar all around with his finger, and purified the altar. And he poured the blood at the base of the altar, and consecrated it, to make atonement for it.15Moses slaughtered the bull and took some of the blood, and with his finger he put it on all the horns of the altar to purify the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. So he consecrated it to make atonement for it.
16Then he took all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar.16Moses also took all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys and their fat, and burned it on the altar.
17But the bull, its hide, its flesh, and its offal, he burned with fire outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded Moses.17But the bull with its hide and its flesh and its intestines he burned up outside the camp, as the LORD commanded Moses.

27and he put all these in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them as a wave offering before the LORD.27He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and they waved them before the LORD as a wave offering.
28Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar, on the burnt offering. They were consecration offerings for a sweet aroma. That was an offering made by fire to the LORD.28Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar on top of the burnt offering as an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the LORD.
29And Moses took the breast and waved it as a wave offering before the LORD. It was Moses’ part of the ram of consecration, as the LORD had commanded Moses.29Moses also took the breast, which was his share of the ordination ram, and waved it before the LORD as a wave offering, as the LORD commanded Moses.
30Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he consecrated Aaron, his garments, his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.30Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood from the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments.

31And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecration offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’31Moses then said to Aaron and his sons, "Cook the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting and eat it there with the bread from the basket of ordination offerings, as I was commanded: 'Aaron and his sons are to eat it.'
32What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.32Then burn up the rest of the meat and the bread.
33And you shall not go outside the door of the tabernacle of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are ended. For seven days he shall consecrate you.33Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are completed, for your ordination will last seven days.
34As he has done this day, so the LORD has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.34What has been done today was commanded by the LORD to make atonement for you.
35Therefore you shall stay at the door of the tabernacle of meeting day and night for seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, so that you may not die; for so I have been commanded.”35You must stay at the entrance to the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and do what the LORD requires, so you will not die; for that is what I have been commanded."
36So Aaron and his sons did all the things that the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses.36So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD commanded through Moses.
