Leviticus 8:1-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2. Take Aaron, with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of anointing, a calf for sin, two rams, and a basket with unleavened bread,

3. and gather together all the assembly at the door of the tabernacle.

4. And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And when all the crowd was gathered together before the entrance of the tabernacle,

5. he said: "This is the word that the Lord has ordered to be done."

6. And immediately, he brought forward Aaron and his sons. And when he had washed them,

7. he vested the high priest with the linen undergarment, wrapped him with the wide belt, and clothed him with the hyacinth tunic, and over it he imposed the ephod.

8. And tying it to the belt, he fitted it to the breastplate, on which was Doctrine and Truth.

9. Also, he wrapped the headdress on his head, and over it, opposite the forehead, he placed the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, just as the Lord had instructed him.

11. And when he had sprinkled the altar seven times to sanctify it, he anointed it and all its vessels. And the washtub with its base he sanctified with the oil.

13. Likewise, after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunics, and wrapped them with wide belts, and placed headdresses on them, just as the Lord had ordered.

14. He also offered the calf for sin. And when Aaron and his sons had placed their hands upon its head,

15. he immolated it. And drawing the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar all around. And when it was expiated and sanctified, he poured out the remainder of the blood at its base.

16. Yet truly, the fat which was on the vital organs, and the mesh of the liver, and the two little kidneys with their fat, he burned upon the altar.

17. And the calf with the skin, and the flesh, and the dung, he burned beyond the camp, just as the Lord had instructed.

18. He also offered a ram as a holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons had imposed their hands upon its head,
