1Then the LORD said to Moses,

1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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,

2"Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread,

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

3and assemble all the congregation at the doorway of the tent of meeting."

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

4So Moses did just as the LORD commanded him. When the congregation was assembled at the doorway of the tent of meeting,

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

5Moses said to the congregation, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded to do."

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

6Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come near 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.

7He put the tunic on him and girded him with the sash, and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the artistic band of the ephod, with which he tied it to him.

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

8He then placed the breastpiece on him, and in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim.

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.

9He also placed the turban on his head, and on the turban, at its front, he placed the golden plate, the holy crown, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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

10Moses then took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.

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.

11He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.

12Then he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head, anointing him and making him holy for his work.

12Then he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

13Next Moses presented Aaron’s sons. He clothed them in their tunics, tied their sashes around them, and put their special head coverings on them, just as the LORD had commanded him.

13Next Moses had Aaron's sons come near and clothed them with tunics, and girded them with sashes and bound caps on them, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

14Then Moses presented the bull for the sin offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the bull’s head,

14Then he brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

15and Moses slaughtered it. Moses took some of the blood, and with his finger he put it on the four horns of the altar to purify it. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. Through this process, he made the altar holy by purifying it.

15Next Moses slaughtered it and took the blood and with his finger put some of it around on the horns of the altar, and purified the altar. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it, to make atonement for it.

16Then Moses took all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, and he burned it all on the altar.

16He also took all the fat that was on the entrails and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat; and Moses offered it up in smoke on the altar.

17He took the rest of the bull, including its hide, meat, and dung, and burned it on a fire outside the camp, just as the LORD had commanded him.

17But the bull and its hide and its flesh and its refuse he burned in the fire outside the camp, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

18Then Moses presented the ram for the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram’s head,

18Then he presented the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

19and Moses slaughtered it. Then Moses took the ram’s blood and splattered it against all sides of the altar.

19Moses slaughtered it and sprinkled the blood around on the altar.

20Then he cut the ram into pieces, and he burned the head, some of its pieces, and the fat on the altar.

20When he had cut the ram into its pieces, Moses offered up the head and the pieces and the suet in smoke.

21After washing the internal organs and the legs with water, Moses burned the entire ram on the altar as a burnt offering. It was a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

21After he had washed the entrails and the legs with water, Moses offered up the whole ram in smoke on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a soothing aroma; it was an offering by fire to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

22Then Moses presented the other ram, which was the ram of ordination. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram’s head,

22Then he presented the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

23and Moses slaughtered it. Then Moses took some of its blood and applied it to the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot.

23Moses slaughtered it and took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

24Next Moses presented Aaron’s sons and applied some of the blood to the lobes of their right ears, the thumbs of their right hands, and the big toes of their right feet. He then splattered the rest of the blood against all sides of the altar.

24He also had Aaron's sons come near; and Moses put some of the blood on the lobe of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. Moses then sprinkled the rest of the blood around on the altar.

25Next Moses took the fat, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, along with the right thigh.

25He took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the entrails, and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right thigh.

26On top of these he placed a thin cake of bread made without yeast, a cake of bread mixed with olive oil, and a wafer spread with olive oil. All these were taken from the basket of bread made without yeast that was placed in the LORD’s presence.

26From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake and one cake of bread mixed with oil and one wafer, and placed them on the portions of fat and on the right thigh.

27He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and he lifted these gifts as a special offering to the LORD.

27He then put all these on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons and presented them as a wave offering before the LORD.

28Moses then took all the offerings back from them and burned them on the altar on top of the burnt offering. This was the ordination offering. It was a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the LORD.

28Then Moses took them from their hands and offered them up in smoke on the altar with the burnt offering. They were an ordination offering for a soothing aroma; it was an offering by fire to the LORD.

29Then Moses took the breast and lifted it up as a special offering to the LORD. This was Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination, just as the LORD had commanded him.

29Moses also took the breast and presented it for a wave offering before the LORD; it was Moses' portion of the ram of ordination, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

30Next Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar, and he sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. In this way, he made Aaron and his sons and their garments holy.

30So 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, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

31Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the remaining meat of the offerings at the Tabernacle entrance, and eat it there, along with the bread that is in the basket of offerings for the ordination, just as I commanded when I said, ‘Aaron and his sons will eat it.’

31Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the flesh at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and eat it there together with the bread which is in the basket of the ordination offering, just as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'

32Any meat or bread that is left over must then be burned up.

32"The remainder of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn in the fire.

33You must not leave the Tabernacle entrance for seven days, for that is when the ordination ceremony will be completed.

33"You shall not go outside the doorway of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the day that the period of your ordination is fulfilled; for he will ordain you through seven days.

34Everything we have done today was commanded by the LORD in order to purify you, making you right with him.

34"The LORD has commanded to do as has been done this day, to make atonement on your behalf.

35Now stay at the entrance of the Tabernacle day and night for seven days, and do everything the LORD requires. If you fail to do this, you will die, for this is what the LORD has commanded.”

35"At the doorway of the tent of meeting, moreover, you shall remain day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the LORD, so that you will not die, for so I have been commanded."

36So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD had commanded through Moses.

36Thus Aaron and his sons did all the things which the LORD had commanded through Moses.
