1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Take Aaron with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of unction: a calf for sin, two rams, a basket with unleavened bread.
2
Take Aaron and his sons with him, the vestments, the anointing oil, the bull of sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;
3 And thou shalt gather together all the congregation to the door of the tabernacle.
3
and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
4 And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And all the multitude being gathered together before the door of the tabernacle:
4
And Moses did as the Lord commanded him. When the congregation was assembled at the entrance of the tent of meeting,
5 He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done.
5
Moses said to the congregation, "This is what the Lord has commanded to be done."
6 And immediately, he offered Aaron and his sons. And when he had washed them,
6
Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward, and washed them with water.
7 He vested the high priest with the strait linen garment, girding him with the girdle, and putting on him the violet tunick: and over it he put the ephod.
7
He put the tunic on him, fastened the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He then put the decorated band of the ephod around him, tying the ephod to him with it.
8 And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on which was Doctrine and Truth.
8
He placed the breastpiece on him, and in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim.
9 He put also the mitre upon his head: and upon the mitre over the forehead, he put the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, as the Lord had commanded him.
9
And he set the turban on his head, and on the turban, in front, he set the golden ornament, the holy crown, as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 He took also the oil of unction, with which he anointed the tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof.
10
Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.
11 And when he had sanctified and sprinkled the altar seven times, he anointed it, and all the vessels thereof: and the laver with the foot thereof, he sanctified with the oil.
11
He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the basin and its base, to consecrate them.
12 And he poured it upon Aaron’s head: and he anointed and consecrated him.
12
He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him, to consecrate him.
13 And after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunicks, and girded them with girdles: and put mitres on them as the Lord had commanded.
13
And Moses brought forward Aaron's sons, and clothed them with tunics, and fastened sashes around them, and tied headdresses on them, as the Lord commanded Moses.
14 He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon the head thereof,
14
He led forward the bull of sin offering; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bull of sin offering,
15 He immolated it: and took the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar round about. Which being expiated, and sanctified, he poured the rest of the blood at the bottom thereof.
15
and it was slaughtered. Moses took the blood and with his finger put some on each of the horns of the altar, purifying the altar; then he poured out the blood at the base of the altar. Thus he consecrated it, to make atonement for it.
16 But the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two little kidneys, with their fat, he burnt upon the altar.
16
Moses took all the fat that was around the entrails, and the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and turned them into smoke on the altar.
17 And the calf with the skin, and the flesh and the dung, he burnt without the camp, as the Lord had commanded.
17
But the bull itself, its skin and flesh and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.
18 He offered also a ram for holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon its head:
18
Then he brought forward the ram of burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,
19 He immolated it, and poured the blood thereof round about the altar.
19
and it was slaughtered. Moses dashed the blood against all sides of the altar.
20 And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, and the fat he burnt in the fire.
20
The ram was cut into its parts, and Moses turned into smoke the head and the parts and the suet.
21 Having first washed the entrails, and the feet, and the whole ram together he burnt upon the altar: because it was a holocaust of most sweet odour to the Lord, as he had commanded him.
21
And after the entrails and the legs were washed with water, Moses turned into smoke the whole ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering for a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 He offered also the second ram, in the consecration of priests: and Aaron, and his sons put their hands upon the head thereof.
22
Then he brought forward the second ram, the ram of ordination. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,
23 And when Moses had immolated it, he took of the blood thereof, and touched the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and in like manner also the great toe of his right foot.
23
and it was slaughtered. Moses took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
24 He offered also the sons of Aaron: and when with the blood of the ram that was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of every one of them, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet, the rest he poured on the altar round about.
24
After Aaron's sons were brought forward, Moses put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet; and Moses dashed the rest of the blood against all sides of the altar.
25 But the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and with the right shoulder, he separated.
25
He took the fat—the broad tail, all the fat that was around the entrails, the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat—and the right thigh.
26 And taking out of the basket of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, a loaf without leaven, and a cake tempered with oil and a wafer, he put them upon the fat, and the right shoulder:
26
From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread with oil, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat and on the right thigh.
27 Delivering all to Aaron, and to his sons. Who having lifted them up before the Lord,
27
He placed all these on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and raised them as an elevation offering before the Lord.
28 He took them again from their hands, and burnt them upon the altar of holocaust: because it was the oblation of consecration, for a sweet odour of sacrifice to the Lord.
28
Then Moses took them from their hands and turned them into smoke on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering for a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to the Lord.
29 And he took of the ram of consecration, the breast for his portion, elevating it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him.
29
Moses took the breast and raised it as an elevation offering before the Lord; it was Moses' portion of the ram of ordination, as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 And taking the ointment, and the blood that was upon the altar, he sprinkled Aaron, and his vestments, and his sons, and their vestments with it.
30
Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his vestments, and also on his sons and their vestments. Thus he consecrated Aaron and his vestments, and also his sons and their vestments.
31 And when he had sanctified them in their vestments, he commanded them, saying: Boil the flesh before the door of the tabernacle, and there eat it. Eat ye also the loaves of consecration, that are laid in the basket, as the Lord commanded me, saying: Aaron and his sons shall eat them.
31
And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, as I was commanded, "Aaron and his sons shall eat it';
32 And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and the loaves, shall be consumed with fire.
32
and what remains of the flesh and the bread you shall burn with fire.
33 And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle for seven days, until the day wherein the time of your consecration shall be expired. For in seven days the consecration is finished:
33
You shall not go outside the entrance of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the day when your period of ordination is completed. For it will take seven days to ordain you;
34 As at this present it hath been done, that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished.
34
as has been done today, the Lord has commanded to be done to make atonement for you.
35 Day and night shall you remain in the tabernacle observing the watches of the Lord, lest you die. For so it hath been commanded me.
35
You shall remain at the entrance of the tent of meeting day and night for seven days, keeping the Lord's charge so that you do not die; for so I am commanded."
36 And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
36
Aaron and his sons did all the things that the Lord commanded through Moses.
