Leviticus 8:1-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. The Lord spoke to Moses:

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

3. and assemble the whole community at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”

4. So Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the community assembled at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

5. Moses said to them, “This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.”

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

7. He put the tunic on Aaron, wrapped the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He put the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.

8. Then he put the breastpiece on him and placed the Urim and Thummim into the breastpiece.

9. He also put the turban on his head and placed the gold medallion, the holy diadem, on the front of the turban, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

10. Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it to consecrate them.

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

12. He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed and consecrated him.
