The Pursuit of Holiness
Lesson 3
2. Read
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, the anointing oil, a bull as the sin offering, two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;
and gather all the congregation together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.”
So Moses did as the Lord commanded him. And the congregation was gathered together at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
And Moses said to the congregation, “This is what the Lord commanded to be done.”
Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.
And he put the tunic on him, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the intricately woven band of the ephod, and with it tied the ephod on him.
Then he put the breastplate on him, and he put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate.
And he put the turban on his head. Also on the turban, on its front, he put the golden plate, the holy crown, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Also Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.
He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the laver and its base, to consecrate them.
And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to consecrate him.
Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons and put tunics on them, girded them with sashes, and put hats on them, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And he brought the second ram, the ram of consecration. Then Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,
and Moses killed it. Also he took some of its blood and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
Then he brought Aaron’s sons. And Moses put some of the blood on the tips of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. And Moses sprinkled the blood all around on the altar.
And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecration offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’
What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.
And you shall not go outside the door of the tabernacle of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are ended. For seven days he shall consecrate you.
As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.
Therefore you shall stay at the door of the tabernacle of meeting day and night for seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord, so that you may not die; for so I have been commanded.”
So Aaron and his sons did all the things that the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
