Leviticus 8:11-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

12. And pouring the oil over Aaron's head, he anointed and consecrated him.

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,

19. he immolated it, and he poured out its blood around the altar.

20. And cutting the ram into pieces, he burned its head, and the limbs, and the fat in the fire,

21. having first washed the intestines and the feet. And then he burned the whole of the ram upon the altar, because it was a holocaust of most sweet odor to the Lord, just as he had instructed him.

22. He also offered the second ram, as a consecration of priests. And Aaron and his sons placed their hands upon its head.

23. And when Moses had immolated it, taking up some of its blood, he touched the tip of Aaron's right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and similarly also his foot.
