Leviticus 8

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

qakh et-aharon ve'et-banayw itto ve'et habbegadim ve'et shemen hammishkhah ve'et par hakhattat ve'et shene ha'elim ve'et sal hammatsot

Take Aaron along with his sons, and the vestments, the anointing oil, the bull of purgation offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;

ve'et kol-ha'edah haqhel el-petakh ohel mo'ed

and assemble the whole community at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

vayya'as mosheh ka'asher tsivvah Adonai oto vattiqqahel ha'edah el-petakh ohel mo'ed

Moses did as GOD commanded him. And when the community was assembled at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting,

vayyomer mosheh el-ha'edah zeh haddavar asher-tsivvah Adonai la'asot

Moses said to the community, “This is what GOD has commanded to be done.”

vayyaqrev mosheh et-aharon ve'et-banayw vayyirkhats otam bammayim

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

vayyitten alayw et-hakkuttonet vayyakhgor oto ba'avnet vayyalbesh oto et-hamme'il vayyitten alayw et-ha'efod vayyakhgor oto bekheshev ha'efod vayyepod lo bo

He put the tunic on him, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him, girding him with the decorated band with which he tied it to him.

vayyasem alayw et-hakhoshen vayyitten el-hakhoshen et-ha'urim ve'et-hattummim

He put the breastpiece on him, and put into the breastpiece the Urim and Thummim.

vayyasem et-hammitsnefet al-rosho vayyasem al-hammitsnefet el-mul panayw et tsits hazzahav nezer haqqodesh ka'asher tsivvah Adonai et-mosheh

And he set the headdress on his head; and on the headdress, in front, he put the gold frontlet, the holy diadem—as GOD had commanded Moses.

vayyiqqakh mosheh et-shemen hammishkhah vayyimshakh et-hammishkan ve'et-kol-asher-bo vayeqaddesh otam

Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the Tabernacle and all that was in it, thus consecrating them.

vayyaz mimmennu al-hammizbeakh sheva pe'amim vayyimshakh et-hammizbeakh ve'et-kol-kelayw ve'et-hakkiyyor ve'et-kanno leqaddesham

He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, anointing the altar, all its utensils, and the laver with its stand, to consecrate them.

vayyitsoq mishemen hammishkhah al rosh aharon vayyimshakh oto leqaddesho

He poured some of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

vayyaqrev mosheh et-bene aharon vayyalbishem kuttonot vayyakhgor otam avnet vayyakhavosh lahem migba'ot ka'asher tsivvah Adonai et-mosheh

Moses then brought Aaron’s sons forward, clothed them in tunics, girded them with sashes, and wound turbans upon them, as GOD had commanded Moses.

vayyaggesh et par hakhattat vayyismokh aharon uvanayw et-yedehem al-rosh par hakhattat

He led forward the bull of purgation offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bull of purgation offering,

vayyishkhat vayyiqqakh mosheh et-haddam vayyitten al-qarnot hammizbeakh saviv be'etsba'o vayekhatte et-hammizbeakh ve'et-haddam yatsaq el-yesod hammizbeakh vayeqaddeshehu lekhapper alayw

and it was slaughtered. Moses took the blood and with his finger put some on each of the horns of the altar, cleansing the altar; then he poured out the blood at the base of the altar. Thus he consecrated it in order to make expiation upon it.

vayyiqqakh et-kol-hakhelev asher al-haqqerev ve'et yoteret hakkaved ve'et-shete hakkelayot ve'et-khelbehen vayyaqter mosheh hammizbekhah

Moses then took all the fat that was about the entrails, and the protuberance of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and turned them into smoke on the altar.

ve'et-happar ve'et-oro ve'et-besaro ve'et-pirsho saraf ba'esh mikhuts lammakhaneh ka'asher tsivvah Adonai et-mosheh

The rest of the bull, its hide, its flesh, and its dung, he put to the fire outside the camp—as GOD had commanded Moses.

vayyaqrev et el ha'olah vayyismekhu aharon uvanayw et-yedehem al-rosh ha'ayil

Then he brought forward the ram of burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the ram’s head,

vayyishkhat vayyizroq mosheh et-haddam al-hammizbeakh saviv

and it was slaughtered. Moses dashed the blood against all sides of the altar.

ve'et-ha'ayil nittakh lintakhayw vayyaqter mosheh et-harosh ve'et-hannetakhim ve'et-happader

The ram was cut up into sections and Moses turned the head, the sections, and the suet into smoke on the altar;

ve'et-haqqerev ve'et-hakkera'ayim rakhats bammayim vayyaqter mosheh et-kol-ha'ayil hammizbekhah olah hu lereakh-nikhoakh isheh hu la-Adonai ka'asher tsivvah Adonai et-mosheh

Moses washed the entrails and the legs with water and turned all of the ram into smoke. That was a burnt offering for a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to GOD—as GOD had commanded Moses.

vayyaqrev et-ha'ayil hasheni el hammillu'im vayyismekhu aharon uvanayw et-yedehem al-rosh ha'ayil

He brought forward the second ram, the ram of ordination. Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the ram’s head,

vayyishkhat vayyiqqakh mosheh middamo vayyitten al-tenukh ozen-aharon hayemanit ve'al-bohen yado hayemanit ve'al-bohen raglo hayemanit

and it was slaughtered. Moses took some of its blood and put it on the ridge of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

vayyaqrev et-bene aharon vayyitten mosheh min-haddam al-tenukh oznam hayemanit ve'al-bohen yadam hayemanit ve'al-bohen raglam hayemanit vayyizroq mosheh et-haddam al-hammizbeakh saviv

Moses then brought forward the sons of Aaron, and put some of the blood on the ridges of their right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet; and the rest of the blood Moses dashed against every side of the altar.

vayyiqqakh et-hakhelev ve'et-ha'alyah ve'et-kol-hakhelev asher al-haqqerev ve'et yoteret hakkaved ve'et-shete hakkelayot ve'et-khelbehen ve'et shoq hayyamin

He took the fat—the broad tail, all the fat about the entrails, the protuberance of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat—and the right thigh.

umissal hammatsot asher lifne Adonai laqakh khallat matsa akhat vekhallat lekhem shemen akhat veraqiq ekhad vayyasem al-hakhalavim ve'al shoq hayyamin

From the basket of unleavened bread that was before GOD, he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of oil bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat parts and on the right thigh.

vayyitten et-hakkol al kappe aharon ve'al kappe vanayw vayyanef otam tenufah lifne Adonai

He placed all these on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and elevated them as an elevation offering before GOD.

vayyiqqakh mosheh otam me'al kappehem vayyaqter hammizbekhah al-ha'olah millu'im hem lereakh nikhoakh isheh hu la-Adonai

Then Moses took them from their hands and turned them into smoke on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering for a pleasing odor; it was an offering by fire to GOD.

vayyiqqakh mosheh et-hekhazeh vayenifehu tenufah lifne Adonai me'el hammillu'im lemosheh hayah lemanah ka'asher tsivvah Adonai et-mosheh

Moses took the breast and elevated it as an elevation offering before GOD; it was Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination—as GOD had commanded Moses.

vayyiqqakh mosheh mishemen hammishkhah umin-haddam asher al-hammizbeakh vayyaz al-aharon al-begadayw ve'al-banayw ve'al-bigde vanayw itto vayeqaddesh et-aharon et-begadayw ve'et-banayw ve'et-bigde vanayw itto

And Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it upon Aaron and upon his vestments, and also upon his sons and upon their vestments. Thus he consecrated Aaron and his vestments, and also his sons and their vestments.

vayyomer mosheh el-aharon ve'el-banayw bashelu et-habbasar petakh ohel mo'ed vesham tokhelu oto ve'et-hallekhem asher besal hammillu'im ka'asher tsivveti lemor aharon uvanayw yokheluhu

Moses said to Aaron and his sons: Boil the flesh at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of ordination—as I commanded: Aaron and his sons shall eat it;

vehannotar babbasar uvallakhem ba'esh tisrofu

and what is left over of the flesh and the bread you shall consume in fire.

umippetakh ohel mo'ed lo tetse'u shivat yamim ad yom melot yeme millu'ekhem ki shivat yamim yemalle et-yedkhem

You shall not go outside the entrance of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the day that your period of ordination is completed. For your ordination will require seven days.

ka'asher asah bayyom hazzeh tsivvah Adonai la'asot lekhapper alekhem

Everything done today, GOD has commanded to be done [seven days], to make expiation for you.

ufetakh ohel mo'ed teshevu yomam valaylah shivat yamim ushemartem et-mishmeret Adonai velo tamutu ki-khen tsuvveti

You shall remain at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting day and night for seven days, keeping GOD’s charge—that you may not die—for so I have been commanded.

vayya'as aharon uvanayw et kol-haddevarim asher-tsivvah Adonai beyad-mosheh

And Aaron and his sons did all the things that GOD had commanded through Moses.
