Leviticus 8:1-13 - Installing The Priests

1 Jehovah continued to speak to Moses: 2 Bring Aaron and his sons, the priests' clothes, the anointing oil, the bull that will be the offered for sin, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread. 3 Gather the entire congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 4 Moses did as Jehovah commanded him. All the people gathered (assembled) at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 5 Moses announced to the congregation: Jehovah has commanded that this is what you must do!

6 Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward. Then he washed them with water. 7 He clothed Aaron with the embroidered tunic and tied the sash around him. He also dressed him in the linen robe that is worn with the ephod. He fastened the ephod to it. 8 Then he placed the breastplate on him and he placed the Urim and Thummim. 9 He put the turban on Aaron's head and fastened the gold medallion, the holy crown, to the front of the turban as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

10 Moses took the anointing oil to anoint the tent and everything in it and dedicate them. 11 He sprinkled the altar seven times. He anointed the altar; it's utensils, the washbasin and its pedestal. This made them holy. 12 He also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to set him apart for his holy duties. 13 Next, Moses dressed the sons of Aaron. He put shirts on them; put sashes around their waists, and tied caps on their heads, just as Jehovah commanded.
