New Testament

Leviticus 8:8-21 New International Version (NIV)

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

9. Then he placed the turban on Aaron’s head and set the gold plate, the sacred emblem, on the front of it, as the Lord commanded Moses.

10. Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated them.

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

12. He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him.

13. Then he brought Aaron’s sons forward, put tunics on them, tied sashes around them and fastened caps on them, as the Lord commanded Moses.

14. He then presented the bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

15. Moses slaughtered the bull and took some of the blood, and with his finger he put it on all the horns of the altar to purify the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. So he consecrated it to make atonement for it.

16. Moses also took all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys and their fat, and burned it on the altar.

17. But the bull with its hide and its flesh and its intestines he burned up outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.

18. He then presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

19. Then Moses slaughtered the ram and splashed the blood against the sides of the altar.

20. He cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces and the fat.

21. He washed the internal organs and the legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
