Leviticus 8:1 In-Context

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,

5 Then Moses said to the community, "This [is] the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done."
