The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

which the Lord commanded Moses at Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the Lord, in the Wilderness of Sinai.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting.

Moses said to the congregation, “This is what the Lord has commanded us to do.”

Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

Moses then put the breastpiece on Aaron, and he put in the breastpiece the Urim and the Thummim [the sacred articles the high priest used when seeking God’s will concerning the nation].

He also put the turban on Aaron’s head, and on it, in the front, Moses placed the golden plate, the holy crown, just as the Lord had commanded him.

Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.

Next Moses brought Aaron’s sons forward, put undertunics on them, belted them with sashes, and bound caps on them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Next Moses killed it and took the blood and with his finger put some of it around on the horns of the altar and purified it [from sin]. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it, to make atonement for it.

He took all the fat that was on the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses offered them up in smoke on the altar.

But the bull (the sin offering) and its hide, its meat, and its refuse he burned in the fire outside the camp, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Moses killed it and sprinkled the blood around on the altar.

When he had cut the ram into pieces, Moses offered up the head, the pieces, and the fat in smoke.

After he had washed the entrails and the legs in water, Moses offered up the whole ram in smoke on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Moses killed it and 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.

He also brought Aaron’s sons forward and put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the big toes of their right feet; and Moses sprinkled the rest of the blood around on the altar.

Then Moses took these things from their hands and offered them up in smoke on the altar with the burnt offering. They were a consecration (ordination) offering for a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord.

Moses also took the breast and presented it as a wave offering before the Lord; it was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration (ordination), just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

So Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his garments, and also on his sons and their garments with him; so Moses consecrated Aaron and his garments, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.

Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting and eat it there together with the bread that is in the basket of the consecration (ordination) offering, just as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’

So Aaron and his sons did all the things which the Lord had commanded through Moses.

And it happened on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel;

So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and all the congregation approached and stood before the Lord.

Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord may appear to you.”

Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and present your sin offering and your burnt offering and make atonement for yourself and for the people; and present the offering of the people and make atonement for them, just as the Lord has commanded.”

but the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering he offered up in smoke on the altar, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

But the breasts and the right thigh Aaron presented as a wave offering before the Lord, just as Moses had commanded.

Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came out they blessed the people, and the glory and brilliance of the Lord [the Shekinah cloud] appeared to all the people [as promised].

Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord said:

‘I will be treated as holy by those who approach Me,
And before all the people I will be honored.’”

So Aaron, therefore, said nothing.

Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel who was Aaron’s uncle, and said to them, “Come here, carry your relatives away from the front of the sanctuary and take them outside the camp.”

So they came forward and carried them, still in their undertunics, outside the camp, as Moses had said.

Then Moses said to Aaron and to his [younger] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not uncover your heads nor let your hair hang loose nor tear your clothes [as expressions of mourning], so that you will not die [also] and so that He will not express His wrath and anger toward all the congregation. But your relatives, the whole house of Israel, may mourn the burning which the Lord has brought about.

You shall not even go out of the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, or you will die; for the Lord’s anointing oil is upon you.” So they did [everything] according to the word of Moses.

and you are to teach the Israelites all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them through Moses.”

Then Moses said to Aaron, and to his surviving sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that is left over from the offerings by fire to the Lord, and eat it unleavened beside the altar, for it is most holy.

But Moses diligently tried to find the goat [that had been offered] as the sin offering, and discovered that it had been burned up [as waste, not eaten]! So he was angry with Aaron’s surviving sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying,

Then Aaron said to Moses, “This very day they have [obediently] presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, but [such terrible things] as these have happened to me [and to them]; if I [and my sons] had eaten a sin offering today would it have been acceptable and pleasing in the sight of the Lord?”

When Moses heard that, he was satisfied.

The Lord spoke again to Moses and Aaron, saying to them,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

The Lord further spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

The Lord said to Moses,

“Tell Aaron your brother that he must not enter at any time into the Holy Place inside the veil (the Holy of Holies), before the mercy seat which is on the ark, or he will die, for I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat.

This shall be a permanent statute for you, so that atonement may be made for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year.” So he did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them:

‘No one shall defile himself [that is, become ceremonially unclean] for the dead among his people [by touching a corpse or assisting in preparing it for burial],

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the Israelites.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

The Lord spoke again to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

So Moses declared to the Israelites the appointed feasts of the Lord.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

The Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name [of the Lord] and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they brought the one who had cursed [the Lord] outside the camp and stoned him with stones. Thus the Israelites did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

The Lord spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai, saying,

These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws which the Lord established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses at Mount Sinai.

Again, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai for the children of Israel.
