The Lord said to Moses: Take Aaron along with his sons, the vestments, the anointing oil, the bull for a purification offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread, then assemble the whole community at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

Moses did as the Lord had commanded. When the community had assembled at the entrance of the tent of meeting, Moses told them: “This is what the Lord has ordered to be done.”

Bringing forward Aaron and his sons, Moses first washed them with water.

Then he put the tunic on Aaron, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, placed the ephod on him, and girded him with the ephod’s embroidered belt, fastening the ephod on him with it.

He then set the breastpiece on him, putting the Urim and Thummim in it.

He put the turban on his head, attaching the gold medallion, the sacred headband, on the front of the turban, as the Lord had commanded Moses to do.

Taking the anointing oil, Moses anointed and consecrated the tabernacle and all that was in it.

Then he sprinkled some of the oil seven times on the altar, and anointed the altar, with all its utensils, and the laver, with its base, to consecrate them.

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

Moses likewise brought forward Aaron’s sons, clothed them with tunics, girded them with sashes, and put skullcaps on them, as the Lord had commanded him to do.
