Leviticus 8:2-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

2. “Bring Aaron and his sons and their clothes. Bring the special olive oil used in appointing people and things to the service of the Lord. Also bring the bull of the sin offering and the two male sheep. And bring the basket of bread made without yeast.

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

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

5. Then Moses spoke to the people. He said, “This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.”

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

7. He put the inner robe on Aaron. And he tied the cloth belt around Aaron. Then he put the outer robe on him. Next he put the holy vest on Aaron. Then he tied the skillfully woven belt around him. So the holy vest was tied to Aaron.

8. Then Moses put the chest covering on him. And he put the Urim and the Thummim in the chest covering.

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 as the Lord commanded him to do.

10. Then Moses put the special oil on the Holy Tent and everything in it. In this way Moses made them holy for the Lord.

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.
