1. The Lord said to Moses,
2. “Take Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent of my presence and bring the priestly garments, the anointing oil, the young bull for the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread.
3. Then call the whole community together there.”
4. Moses did as the Lord had commanded, and when the community had assembled,
5. he said to them, “What I am now about to do is what the Lord has commanded.”
6. Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and told them to take a ritual bath.
7. He put the shirt and the robe on Aaron and the sash round his waist. He put the ephod on him and fastened it by putting its finely woven belt round his waist.
8. He put the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim in it.
9. He placed the turban on his head, and on the front of it he put the gold ornament, the sacred sign of dedication, just as the Lord had commanded him.
10. Then Moses took the anointing oil and put it on the Tent of the Lord's presence and everything that was in it, and in this way he dedicated it all to the Lord.
11. He took some of the oil and sprinkled it seven times on the altar and its equipment and on the basin and its base, in order to dedicate them to the Lord.
