Leviticus Chapter 8

¹ForeverOne spoke to Moses, saying, ²"Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread; ³and assemble all the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting." ⁴Moses did as ForeverOne commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

⁹He set the turban on his head; and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as ForeverOne commanded Moses.

¹⁶He took all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it on the altar.

¹⁷But the bull, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp; as ForeverOne commanded Moses.

¹⁸He presented the ram of the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

²⁰He cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

²¹He washed the innards and the legs with water; and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to ForeverOne; as ForeverOne commanded Moses.

²²He presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

²³He killed it; and Moses took some of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

²⁵He took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh; ²⁶and out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before ForeverOne, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and on the right thigh.

²⁷He put all these in Aaron's hands and in his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before ForeverOne.

²⁸Moses took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar on the burnt offering. They were a consecration for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to ForeverOne.

³¹Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the flesh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.' ³²What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.

³³Don't go out of the door of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you for seven days.

³⁴What has been done today ForeverOne commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

³⁵You shall stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night seven days, and keep ForeverOne's command, that you don't die: for so I am commanded." ³⁶Aaron and his sons did all the things which ForeverOne commanded by Moses.
