The
Ordination of Aaron and His Sons
8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:2 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;
8:3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8:4 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the
assembly was gathered together unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
8:5 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing
which the LORD commanded to be done.
8:6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them
with water.
8:7 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.
8:8 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the
breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
8:9 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.
8:10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the
tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
8:11 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.
8:12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head,
and anointed him, to sanctify him.
8:13 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.
8:14 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.
8:15 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.
8:16 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.
8:17 But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his
dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
8:18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and
Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the
ram.
8:19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon
the altar round about.
8:20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the
head, and the pieces, and the fat.
8:21 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 savor, and an offering made by fire
unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration:
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the
ram.
8:23 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.
8:24 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.
8:25 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:
8:26 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:
8:27 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons'
hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.
8:28 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt
them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were
consecrations for a sweet savor: it is an offering made by
fire unto the LORD.
8:29 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.
8:30 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.
8:31 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.
8:32 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread
shall ye burn with fire.
8:33 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.
8:34 As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded
to do, to make an atonement for you.
8:35 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.
8:36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses. |
