And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spake unto Mushah, saying,

"Take Aharon and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;"
8:3
"And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
8:4
And Mushah did as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

The Sin Offering

And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aharon and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
8:15
And he slew it; and Mushah took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
8:16
And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Mushah burned it upon the altar.

But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.

8:20
And he cut the ram into pieces; and Mushah burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Mushah burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.
8:22

And he slew it; and Mushah took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aharon's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
8:24

8:25
And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
8:26
And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:
8:27
And he put all upon Aharon's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
8:28
And Mushah took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
8:29
And Mushah took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄: for of the ram of consecration it was Mushah's part; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.
8:30

And Mushah took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aharon, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aharon, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
8:31

The Seven Days of Watching

And Mushah said unto Aharon and to his sons, "Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aharon and his sons shall eat it."
8:32
"And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire."
8:33
"And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you."
8:34
"As he hath done this day, so 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you."
8:35
"Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, that ye die not: for so I am commanded."
8:36
So Aharon and his sons did all things which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded by the hand of Mushah.
