Leviticus 8:9-19

9 cidarim quoque texit caput et super eam contra frontem posuit lamminam auream consecratam in sanctificationem sicut praeceperat ei Dominus

10 tulit et unctionis oleum quo levit tabernaculum cum omni supellectili sua

11 cumque sanctificans aspersisset altare septem vicibus unxit illud et omnia vasa eius labrumque cum basi sua sanctificavit oleo

12 quod fundens super caput Aaron unxit eum et consecravit

13 filios quoque eius oblatos vestivit tunicis lineis et cinxit balteo inposuitque mitras ut iusserat Dominus

14 obtulit et vitulum pro peccato cumque super caput eius posuissent Aaron et filii eius manus suas

15 immolavit eum hauriens sanguinem et tincto digito tetigit cornua altaris per gyrum quo expiato et sanctificato fudit reliquum sanguinem ad fundamenta eius

16 adipem autem qui erat super vitalia et reticulum iecoris duosque renunculos cum arvinulis suis adolevit super altare

17 vitulum cum pelle carnibus et fimo cremans extra castra sicut praeceperat Dominus

18 obtulit et arietem in holocaustum super cuius caput cum inposuissent Aaron et filii eius manus suas

19 immolavit eum et fudit sanguinem eius per altaris circuitum
