Leviticus 8:11-27 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

11. He sprinkled some oil on the altar seven times. He sprinkled the altar and all its tools. He also sprinkled special oil on the large bowl and its base. In this way he made them holy for the Lord.

12. Then he poured some of the special oil on Aaron’s head. In this way he made Aaron holy for the Lord.

13. Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons forward. And he put the inner robes on them. He tied cloth belts around them. Then he put headbands on them. He did these things as the Lord had commanded him.

14. Then Moses brought the bull for the sin offering. And Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

15. Moses killed the bull and took some of the blood. With his finger he put some of the blood on all the corners of the altar. In this way he made the altar pure. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar. So he made it holy and ready for service to God.

16. Moses took all the fat from the inner organs of the bull. He took the best part of the liver. And he took both kidneys and the fat on them. Then he burned them on the altar.

17. But he took the bull’s skin, its meat and its intestines outside the camp. He burned them in a fire outside the camp. Moses did all these things as the Lord had commanded him.

18. Next Moses brought the male sheep of the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

19. Then Moses killed it. He sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

20. Moses cut the male sheep into pieces. And he burned the head, the pieces and the fat.

21. He washed the inner organs and legs with water. Then he burned the whole sheep on the altar. It was a burnt offering made by fire to the Lord. Its smell was pleasing to the Lord. Moses did these things as the Lord had commanded him.

22. Then Moses brought the other male sheep. It was used in appointing Aaron and his sons as priests. They put their hands on its head.

23. Then Moses killed the sheep. He put some of its blood on the bottom of Aaron’s right ear. He put some on the thumb of Aaron’s right hand. And he put some on the big toe of his right foot.

24. Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons close to the altar. He put some of the blood on the bottom of their right ears. He put it on the thumbs of their right hands. And he put it on the big toes of their right feet. Then he sprinkled blood on all sides of the altar.

25. He took the fat and the fat tail from the sheep. He took all the fat on the inner organs. He took the best part of the liver. He also took both kidneys, their fat and the right thigh.

26. A basket of bread made without yeast is put before the Lord each day. From the basket Moses took a loaf of bread. And he took a loaf made with oil and a wafer. He put these pieces of bread on the fat and right thigh of the male sheep.

27. He put all these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons. He presented the pieces as an offering before the Lord.
