⁴ “And Aaron and his sons you shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, ^(A)and you shall wash them with water. ^5 (B)Then you shall take the garments, put the tunic on Aaron, and the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with ^(C)the intricately woven band of the ephod. ^6 (D)You shall put the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban. ⁷ And you shall take the anointing ^(E)oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him. ⁸ Then ^(F)you shall bring his sons and put tunics on them. ⁹ And you shall gird them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and put the hats on them. ^(G)The priesthood shall be theirs for a perpetual statute. So you shall ^(H)consecrate Aaron and his sons.

Aaron and His Sons Consecrated^(A)

8 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ^2 (B)“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and ^(C)the garments, ^(D)the anointing oil, a ^(E)bull as the sin offering, two ^(F)rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; ³ and gather all the congregation together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.”

⁴ So Moses did as the Lord commanded him. And the congregation was gathered together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. ⁵ And Moses said to the congregation, “This is what the Lord commanded to be done.”

⁶ Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons and ^(G)washed them with water. ⁷ And he ^(H)put the tunic on him, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the intricately woven band of the ephod, and with it tied the ephod on him. ⁸ Then he put the breastplate on him, and he ^(I)put the ^[a]Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate. ^9 (J)And he put the turban on his head. Also on the turban, on its front, he put the golden plate, the holy crown, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

^10 (K)Also Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them. ¹¹ He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the laver and its base, to ^[b]consecrate them. ¹² And he ^(L)poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

^13 (M)Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons and put tunics on them, girded them with sashes, and put ^[c]hats on them, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
