1. The Lord said to Moses,

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

3. Then gather the people together at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.”

4. Moses did what the Lord commanded him. The people met together at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.

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

6. Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water.

7. Moses put the woven shirt on Aaron and tied the cloth belt around him. Then Moses put the robe and the ephod on Aaron and tied the beautiful cloth belt around him.

8. Moses put the judgment pouch on Aaron and put the Urim and Thummim inside its pocket.

9. He also put the turban on Aaron’s head. He put the strip of gold on the front of the turban. This strip of gold is the holy crown. Moses did this just as the Lord had commanded.

10. Then Moses took the anointing oil and sprinkled it on the Holy Tent and on everything in it. In this way he made them holy.

11. He sprinkled some of the anointing oil on the altar seven times. He sprinkled the oil on the altar, on all its tools and dishes, and on the bowl and its base. In this way he made them holy.

Then he poured out the blood at the base of the altar to make the altar ready for sacrifices to make the people pure.
