2. Take Aaron and his sons with him, the priestly clothing, the anointing oil, a bull for the purification offering, two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread,

3. and assemble the whole community at the meeting tent’s entrance.

4. Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the community assembled at the meeting tent’s entrance.

5. Moses said to the community, "This is what the Lord has commanded us to do."

6. Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them in water.

7. Moses put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, and dressed him in the robe. Moses then put the priestly vest on Aaron, tied the woven waistband of the vest around him, and secured the vest to him with it.

8. Then Moses placed the chest piece on Aaron and set the Urim and Thummim into the chest piece.

9. Moses placed the turban on Aaron’s head and put the gold flower ornament, the holy crown, on the turban’s front, just as the Lord had commanded him.

10. Moses then took the anointing oil and anointed the dwelling and everything in it, making them holy by doing so.

11. He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its equipment, as well as the basin and its base, to make them holy.

12. He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head, thereby anointing him to make him holy.

13. Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons forward, dressed them in tunics, tied sashes around them, and wrapped headbands on them, just as the Lord had commanded him.

14. Next Moses brought forward the bull for the purification offering. Aaron and his sons pressed their hands on its head.
