Levitico 8:1-6

1 IL Signore parlò, oltre a ciò, a Mosè, dicendo:

2 Prendi Aaronne, e i suoi figliuoli con lui; e i vestimenti, e l’olio dell’Unzione, e il giovenco per lo sacrificio per lo peccato, e i due montoni, e il paniere degli azzimi.

3 E aduna tutta la raunanza, all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza.

4 E Mosè fece come il Signore gli avea comandato; e la raunanza fu adunata all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenza.

5 E Mosè disse alla raunanza: Quest’è quello che il Signore ha comandato che si faccia.

6 E Mosè fece accostare Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli, e li lavò con acqua.
