1. AND THE Lord said to Moses,
2. Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments [symbols of their office], and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;
3. And assemble all the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
4. Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
5. Moses told the congregation, This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.
6. Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.
7. He put on Aaron the long undertunic, girded him with the long sash, clothed him with the robe, put the ephod (an upper vestment) upon him, and girded him with the skillfully woven cords attached to the ephod, binding it to him.
8. And Moses put upon Aaron the breastplate; also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim [articles upon which the high priest put his hand when seeking the divine will concerning the nation].
9. And he put the turban or miter on his head; on it, in front, Moses put the shining gold plate, the holy diadem, as the Lord commanded him.
10. And Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.
11. And he sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the laver and its base, to consecrate them.
