Moses consecrates Aaron and his sons as priests, washing them, clothing them and anointing them with oil. They stay at the tent of meeting for seven days.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying ,
2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments , and the anointing oil , and a bullock for the sin offering , and two rams , and a basket of unleavened bread ;
3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
4 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
5 And Moses said unto the congregation , This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done .
6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons , and washed them with water .
7 And he put upon him the coat , and girded him with the girdle , and clothed him with the robe , and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod , and bound it unto him therewith.
8 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim .
9 And he put the mitre upon his head ; also upon the mitre , even upon his forefront , did he put the golden plate , the holy crown ; as the LORD commanded Moses .
10 And Moses took the anointing oil , and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times , and anointed the altar and all his vessels , both the laver and his foot , to sanctify them.
12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head , and anointed him, to sanctify him.
13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons , and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles , and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses .
14 And he brought the bullock for the sin offering : and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering .
15 And he slew it; and Moses took the blood , and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger , and purified the altar , and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar , and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
16 And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards , and the caul above the liver , and the two kidneys , and their fat , and Moses burned it upon the altar .
17 But the bullock , and his hide , his flesh , and his dung , he burnt with fire without the camp ; as the LORD commanded Moses .
18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering : and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram .
19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about .
20 And he cut the ram into pieces ; and Moses burnt the head , and the pieces , and the fat .
21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water ; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar : it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour , and an offering made by fire unto the LORD ; as the LORD commanded Moses .
22 And he brought the other ram , the ram of consecration : and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram .
23 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear , and upon the thumb of his right hand , and upon the great toe of his right foot .
24 And he brought Aaron's sons , and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear , and upon the thumbs of their right hands , and upon the great toes of their right feet : and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about .
25 And he took the fat , and the rump , and all the fat that was upon the inwards , and the caul above the liver , and the two kidneys , and their fat , and the right shoulder :
26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread , that was before the LORD , he took one unleavened cake , and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer , and put them on the fat , and upon the right shoulder :
27 And he put all upon Aaron's hands , and upon his sons ' hands , and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD .
28 And Moses took them from off their hands , and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering : they were consecrations for a sweet savour : it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD .
29 And Moses took the breast , and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD : for of the ram of consecration it was Moses ' part ; as the LORD commanded Moses .
30 And Moses took of the anointing oil , and of the blood which was upon the altar , and sprinkled it upon Aaron , and upon his garments , and upon his sons , and upon his sons ' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron , and his garments , and his sons , and his sons ' garments with him.
31 And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons , Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation : and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations , as I commanded , saying , Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
32 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire .
33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days , until the days of your consecration be at an end : for seven days shall he consecrate you.
34 As he hath done this day , so the LORD hath commanded to do , to make an atonement for you.
35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days , and keep the charge of the LORD , that ye die not: for so I am commanded .
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses .
