Leviticus 8:3-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

3. and assemble all the congregation at the doorway of the tent of meeting."

4. So Moses did just as the Lord commanded him. When the congregation was assembled at the doorway of the tent of meeting,

5. Moses said to the congregation, "This is the thing which the Lord has commanded to do."

6. Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come near and washed them with water.

7. He put the tunic on him and girded him with the sash, and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the artistic band of the ephod, with which he tied it to him.

8. He then placed the breastpiece on him, and in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim.

9. He also placed the turban on his head, and on the turban, at its front, he placed the golden plate, the holy crown, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

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

11. He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.

12. Then he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

13. Next Moses had Aaron's sons come near and clothed them with tunics, and girded them with sashes and bound caps on them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

14. Then he brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

15. Next Moses slaughtered it and took the blood and with his finger put some of it around on the horns of the altar, and purified the altar. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it, to make atonement for it.

16. He also took all the fat that was on the entrails and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat; and Moses offered it up in smoke on the altar.
