8Then the LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H559 2"Bring Aaron and his sons, along with their sacred garments, the anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of bread made without yeast,H3947H175H1121H899H4888H8081H6499H2403H8147H352H5536H4682 3and call the entire community of Israel together at the entrance of the Tabernacle."H6950H5712H6950H6607H168H4150 4So Moses followed the LORD's instructions, and the whole community assembled at the Tabernacle entrance.H4872H6213H3068H6680H5712H6950H6607H168H4150 5Moses announced to them, "This is what the LORD has commanded us to do!"H4872H559H5712H1697H3068H6680H6213 6Then he presented Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.H4872H7126H175H1121H7364H4325 7He put the official tunic on Aaron and tied the sash around his waist. He dressed him in the robe, placed the ephod on him, and attached the ephod securely with its decorative sash.H5414H3801H2296H73H3847H4598H5414H646H2296H2805H646H640 8Then Moses placed the chestpiece on Aaron and put the Urim and the Thummim inside it.H7760H2833H5414H2833H224H8550 9He placed the turban on Aaron's head and attached the gold medallion—the badge of holiness—to the front of the turban, just as the LORD had commanded him.H7760H4701H7218H4701H6440H4136H7760H2091H6731H6944H5145H3068H6680H4872 10Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the Tabernacle and everything in it, making them holy.H4872H3947H4888H8081H4886H4908H6942 11He sprinkled the oil on the altar seven times, anointing it and all its utensils, as well as the washbasin and its stand, making them holy.H5137H4196H7651H6471H4886H4196H3627H3595H3653H6942 12Then he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, anointing him and making him holy for his work.H3332H4888H8081H175H7218H4886H6942 13Next Moses presented Aaron's sons. He clothed them in their tunics, tied their sashes around them, and put their special head coverings on them, just as the LORD had commanded him.H4872H7126H175H1121H3847H3801H2296H73H2280H4021H3068H6680H4872 14Then Moses presented the bull for the sin offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the bull's head,H5066H6499H2403H175H1121H5564H3027H7218H6499H2403 15and Moses slaughtered it. Moses took some of the blood, and with his finger he put it on the four horns of the altar to purify it. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. Through this process, he made the altar holy by purifying it.H7819H4872H3947H1818H5414H7161H4196H5439H676H2398H4196H3332H1818H3247H4196H6942H3722 16Then Moses took all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, and he burned it all on the altar.H3947H2459H7130H3508H3516H8147H3629H2459H4872H6999H4196 17He took the rest of the bull, including its hide, meat, and dung, and burned it on a fire outside the camp, just as the LORD had commanded him.H6499H5785H1320H6569H8313H784H2351H4264H3068H6680H4872 18Then Moses presented the ram for the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram's head,H7126H352H5930H175H1121H5564H3027H7218H352 19and Moses slaughtered it. Then Moses took the ram's blood and splattered it against all sides of the altar.H7819H4872H2236H1818H4196H5439 20Then he cut the ram into pieces, and he burned the head, some of its pieces, and the fat on the altar.H5408H352H5409H4872H6999H7218H5409H6309 21After washing the internal organs and the legs with water, Moses burned the entire ram on the altar as a burnt offering. It was a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.H7364H7130H3767H4325H4872H6999H352H4196H5930H5207H7381H801H3068H3068H6680H4872 22Then Moses presented the other ram, which was the ram of ordination. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram's head,H7126H8145H352H352H4394H175H1121H5564H3027H7218H352 23and Moses slaughtered it. Then Moses took some of its blood and applied it to the lobe of Aaron's right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot.H7819H4872H3947H1818H5414H8571H175H3233H241H931H3233H3027H931H3233H7272 24Next Moses presented Aaron's sons and applied some of the blood to the lobes of their right ears, the thumbs of their right hands, and the big toes of their right feet. He then splattered the rest of the blood against all sides of the altar.H7126H175H1121H4872H5414H1818H8571H3233H241H931H3233H3027H931H3233H7272H4872H2236H1818H4196H5439 25Next Moses took the fat, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, along with the right thigh.H3947H2459H451H2459H7130H3508H3516H8147H3629H2459H3225H7785 26On top of these he placed a thin cake of bread made without yeast, a cake of bread mixed with olive oil, and a wafer spread with olive oil. All these were taken from the basket of bread made without yeast that was placed in the LORD's presence.H5536H4682H3899H6440H3068H3947H259H4682H2471H2471H8081H259H7550H7760H2459H3225H7785 27He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and he lifted them up as a special offering to the LORD.H5414H175H3709H1121H3709H5130H8573H6440H3068 28Moses then took all the offerings back from them and burned them on the altar on top of the burnt offering. This was the ordination offering. It was a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the LORD.H4872H3947H3709H6999H4196H5930H4394H5207H7381H801H3068 29Then Moses took the breast and lifted it up as a special offering to the LORD. This was Moses' portion of the ram of ordination, just as the LORD had commanded him.H4872H3947H2373H5130H8573H6440H3068H352H4394H4872H4490H3068H6680H4872 30Next Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar, and he sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. In this way, he made Aaron and his sons and their garments holy.H4872H3947H4888H8081H1818H4196H5137H175H899H1121H1121H899H6942H175H899H1121H1121H899 31Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "Boil the remaining meat of the offerings at the Tabernacle entrance, and eat it there, along with the bread that is in the basket of offerings for the ordination, just as I commanded when I said, 'Aaron and his sons will eat it.'H4872H559H175H1121H1310H1320H6607H168H4150H398H3899H5536H4394H6680H559H175H1121H398 32Any meat or bread that is left over must then be burned up.H3498H1320H3899H8313H784 33You must not leave the Tabernacle entrance for seven days, for that is when the ordination ceremony will be completed.H3318H6607H168H4150H7651H3117H3117H4394H4390H7651H3117H4390H3027 34Everything we have done today was commanded by the LORD in order to purify you, making you right with him.H6213H3117H3068H6680H6213H3722 35Now stay at the entrance of the Tabernacle day and night for seven days, and do everything the LORD requires. If you fail to do this, you will die, for this is what the LORD has commanded."H3427H6607H168H4150H3119H3915H7651H3117H8104H4931H3068H4191H6680 36So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD had commanded through Moses.H175H1121H6213H1697H3068H6680H3027H4872
9After the ordination ceremony, on the eighth day, Moses called together Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel.H8066H3117H4872H7121H175H1121H2205H34782He said to Aaron, "Take a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without defects, and present them to the LORD.H559H175H3947H1241H1121H5695H2403H352H5930H8549H7126H6440H30683Then tell the Israelites, 'Take a male goat for a sin offering, and take a calf and a lamb, both a year old and without defects, for a burnt offering.H1121H3478H1696H559H3947H8163H5795H2403H5695H3532H1121H8141H8549H59304Also take a bull and a ram for a peace offering and flour moistened with olive oil for a grain offering. Present all these offerings to the LORD because the LORD will appear to you today.'"H7794H352H8002H2076H6440H3068H4503H1101H8081H3117H3068H72005So the people presented all these things at the entrance of the Tabernacle, just as Moses had commanded. Then the whole community came forward and stood before the LORD.H3947H4872H6680H6440H168H4150H5712H7126H5975H6440H30686And Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded you to do so that the glory of the LORD may appear to you."H4872H559H1697H3068H6680H6213H3519H3068H72007Then Moses said to Aaron, "Come to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering to purify yourself and the people. Then present the offerings of the people to purify them, making them right with the LORD, just as he has commanded."H4872H559H175H7126H4196H6213H2403H5930H3722H5971H6213H7133H5971H3722H3068H66808So Aaron went to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself.H175H7126H4196H7819H5695H24039His sons brought him the blood, and he dipped his finger in it and put it on the horns of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.H1121H175H7126H1818H2881H676H1818H5414H7161H4196H3332H1818H3247H419610Then he burned on the altar the fat, the kidneys, and the long lobe of the liver from the sin offering, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.H2459H3629H3508H4480H3516H2403H6999H4196H3068H6680H487211The meat and the hide, however, he burned outside the camp.H1320H5785H8313H784H2351H426412Next Aaron slaughtered the animal for the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it against all sides of the altar.H7819H5930H175H1121H4672H1818H2236H5439H419613Then they handed him each piece of the burnt offering, including the head, and he burned them on the altar.H4672H5930H5409H7218H6999H419614Then he washed the internal organs and the legs and burned them on the altar along with the rest of the burnt offering.H7364H7130H3767H6999H5930H419615Next Aaron presented the offerings of the people. He slaughtered the people's goat and presented it as an offering for their sin, just as he had first done with the offering for his own sin.H7126H5971H7133H3947H8163H2403H5971H7819H2398H722316Then he presented the burnt offering and sacrificed it in the prescribed way.H7126H5930H6213H494117He also presented the grain offering, burning a handful of the flour mixture on the altar, in addition to the regular burnt offering for the morning.H7126H4503H4390H3709H6999H4196H905H5930H124218Then Aaron slaughtered the bull and the ram for the people's peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it against all sides of the altar.H7819H7794H352H2077H8002H5971H175H1121H4672H1818H2236H4196H543919Then he took the fat of the bull and the ram—the fat of the broad tail and from around the internal organs—along with the kidneys and the long lobes of the livers.H2459H7794H352H451H4374H3629H3508H351620He placed these fat portions on top of the breasts of these animals and burned them on the altar.H7760H2459H2373H6999H2459H419621Aaron then lifted up the breasts and right thighs as a special offering to the LORD, just as Moses had commanded.H2373H3225H7785H175H5130H8573H6440H3068H4872H668022After that, Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. Then, after presenting the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down from the altar.H175H5375H3027H5971H1288H3381H6213H2403H5930H800223Then Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle, and when they came back out, they blessed the people again, and the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole community.H4872H175H935H168H4150H3318H1288H5971H3519H3068H7200H597124Fire blazed forth from the LORD's presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground.H3318H784H6440H3068H398H4196H5930H2459H5971H7200H7442H5307H6440
10Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu put coals of fire in their incense burners and sprinkled incense over them. In this way, they disobeyed the LORD by burning before him the wrong kind of fire, different than he had commanded.H5070H30H1121H175H3947H376H4289H5414H784H2004H7760H7004H7126H2114H784H6440H3068H6680 2So fire blazed forth from the LORD's presence and burned them up, and they died there before the LORD.H3318H784H3068H398H4191H6440H3068 3Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD meant when he said, 'I will display my holiness through those who come near me. I will display my glory before all the people.'"H4872H559H175H3068H1696H559H6942H7138H6440H5971H3513H175H1826 4Then Moses called for Mishael and Elzaphan, Aaron's cousins, the sons of Aaron's uncle Uzziel. He said to them, "Come forward and carry away the bodies of your relatives from in front of the sanctuary to a place outside the camp."H4872H7121H4332H469H1121H5816H1730H175H559H7126H5375H251H6440H6944H2351H4264 5So they came forward and picked them up by their garments and carried them out of the camp, just as Moses had commanded.H7126H5375H3801H2351H4264H4872H1696 6Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not show grief by leaving your hair uncombed or by tearing your clothes. If you do, you will die, and the LORD's anger will strike the whole community of Israel. However, the rest of the Israelites, your relatives, may mourn because of the LORD's fiery destruction of Nadab and Abihu.H4872H559H175H499H385H1121H6544H7218H6533H899H4191H7107H5712H251H1004H3478H1058H8316H3068H8313 7But you must not leave the entrance of the Tabernacle or you will die, for you have been anointed with the LORD's anointing oil." So they did as Moses commanded.H3318H6607H168H4150H4191H4888H8081H3068H6213H1697H4872 8Then the LORD said to Aaron,H3068H1696H175H559 9"You and your descendants must never drink wine or any other alcoholic drink before going into the Tabernacle. If you do, you will die. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation.H8354H3196H7941H1121H935H168H4150H4191H2708H5769H1755 10You must distinguish between what is sacred and what is common, between what is ceremonially unclean and what is clean.H914H6944H2455H2931H2889 11And you must teach the Israelites all the decrees that the LORD has given them through Moses."H3384H1121H3478H2706H3068H1696H3027H4872 12Then Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, "Take what is left of the grain offering after a portion has been presented as a special gift to the LORD, and eat it beside the altar. Make sure it contains no yeast, for it is most holy.H4872H1696H175H499H385H1121H3498H3947H4503H3498H801H3068H801H398H4682H681H4196H6944H6944 13You must eat it in a sacred place, for it has been given to you and your descendants as your portion of the special gifts presented to the LORD. These are the commands I have been given.H398H6918H4725H2706H1121H2706H801H3068H801H6680 14But the breast and thigh that were lifted up as a special offering may be eaten in any place that is ceremonially clean. These parts have been given to you and your descendants as your portion of the peace offerings presented by the people of Israel.H8573H2373H8641H7785H398H2889H4725H1121H1323H2706H1121H2706H5414H2077H8002H1121H3478 15You must lift up the thigh and breast as a special offering to the LORD, along with the fat of the special gifts. These parts will belong to you and your descendants as your permanent right, just as the LORD has commanded."H8641H7785H8573H2373H935H801H2459H5130H8573H6440H3068H1121H2706H5769H3068H6680 16Moses then asked them what had happened to the goat of the sin offering. When he discovered it had been burned up, he became very angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's remaining sons.H4872H1875H1875H8163H2403H8313H7107H499H385H1121H175H3498H559 17"Why didn't you eat the sin offering in the sacred area?" he demanded. "It is a holy offering! The LORD has given it to you to remove the guilt of the community and to purify the people, making them right with the LORD.H398H2403H6944H4725H6944H6944H5414H5375H5771H5712H3722H6440H3068 18Since the animal's blood was not brought into the Holy Place, you should have eaten the meat in the sacred area as I ordered you."H2005H1818H935H6441H6944H398H398H6944H6680 19Then Aaron answered Moses, "Today my sons presented both their sin offering and their burnt offering to the LORD. And yet this tragedy has happened to me. If I had eaten the people's sin offering on such a tragic day as this, would the LORD have been pleased?"H175H1696H4872H3117H7126H2403H5930H6440H3068H7122H398H2403H3117H3190H5869H3068 20And when Moses heard this, he was satisfied.H4872H8085H3190H5869
