Leviticus 8:1-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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

3. and summon all of the community to the entrance to the tent of assembly.”

4. So Moses did just as Yahweh commanded him, and the community gathered by the entrance to the tent of assembly.

5. Then Moses said to the community, “This is the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”

6. So Moses brought Aaron and his sons near, and he washed them with water.

7. Then he put the tunic on him and tied the sash around him; then he clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; then he tied the ephod’s waistband around him and fastened the ephod to him with it.

8. Then he placed the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and the Thummim into the breastpiece;

9. and he placed the turban on his head, and on the front of the turban he placed the gold rosette, the holy diadem, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

10. Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and he consecrated them.

11. And he spattered part of it on the altar seven times—thus he anointed the altar and all of its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.
