Leviticus 8:1-9

New International Version

The Ordination of Aaron and His Sons^(A)

8 The Lord said to Moses, ²“Bring Aaron and his sons,^(B) their garments,^(C) the anointing oil,^(D) the bull for the sin offering,^[a]^(E) the two rams^(F) and the basket containing bread made without yeast,^(G) ³and gather the entire assembly^(H) at the entrance to the tent of meeting.” ⁴Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

⁵Moses said to the assembly, “This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.^(I)” ⁶Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water.^(J) ⁷He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him. He also fastened the ephod with a decorative waistband, which he tied around him.^(K) ⁸He placed the breastpiece^(L) on him and put the Urim and Thummim^(M) in the breastpiece. ⁹Then he placed the turban^(N) on Aaron’s head and set the gold plate, the sacred emblem,^(O) on the front of it, as the Lord commanded Moses.^(P)

Psalm 90:7-12

New International Version

⁷We are consumed by your anger
    and terrified by your indignation.
⁸You have set our iniquities before you,
    our secret sins^(A) in the light of your presence.^(B)
⁹All our days pass away under your wrath;
    we finish our years with a moan.^(C)
¹⁰Our days may come to seventy years,^(D)
    or eighty,^(E) if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,^(F)
    for they quickly pass, and we fly away.^(G)
¹¹If only we knew the power of your anger!
    Your wrath^(H) is as great as the fear that is your due.^(I)
¹²Teach us to number our days,^(J)
    that we may gain a heart of wisdom.^(K)
