Leviticus 8:6-20 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

15. Moses slaughtered it, then took the blood and, using his finger, put it on all of the altar’s horns, purifying the altar. He poured the rest of the blood out at the altar’s base. Then he made the altar holy so that reconciliation could be performed on it.

16. Moses removed all the fat that was around the insides, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and he completely burned it on the altar.

17. But the rest of the bull, including its hide, its flesh, and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp just as the Lord had commanded him.

18. Then Moses presented the ram for the entirely burned offering, and Aaron and his sons pressed their hands on its head.

19. Moses slaughtered it, then tossed the blood against all sides of the altar.

20. He cut up the ram into pieces, and then completely burned the head, pieces, and fat.
