Leviticus 8
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,
2Take Aaron and his sons, and his robes and the anointing oil, and the calf for the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,λάβε Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰς στολὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον τῆς χρίσεως, καὶ τὸν μόσχον τὸν περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας, καὶ τοὺς δύο κριοὺς, καὶ τὸ κανοῦν τῶν ἀζύμων,
3and assemble the whole congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness.καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν συναγωγὴν ἐκκλησίασον ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου.
4And Moses did as the Lord appointed him, and he assembled the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness.Καὶ ἐποίησε Μωυσῆς ὃν τρόπον συνέταξεν αὐτῷ Κύριος· καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασε τὴν συναγωγὴν ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου.
5And Moses said to the congregation, This is the thing which the Lord has commanded you to do.Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς τῇ συναγωγῇ, τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ποιῆσαι.
6And Moses brought near Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water,Καὶ προσήνεγκε Μωυσῆς τὸν Ἀαρὼν, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔλουσεν αὐτοὺς ὕδατι.
7and put on him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the tunic, and put on him the ephod;Καὶ ἐνέδυσεν αὐτὸν τὸν χιτῶνα, καὶ ἔζωσεν αὐτὸν τὴν ζώνην, καὶ ἐνέδυσεν αὐτὸν τὸν ὑποδύτην, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὴν ἐπωμίδα.
8and girded him with a girdle according to the make of the ephod, and clasped him closely with it: and put upon it the oracle, and put upon the oracle the Manifestation and the Truth.Καὶ συνέζωσεν αὐτὸν κατὰ τὴν ποίησιν τῆς ἐπωμίδος, καὶ συνέσφιγξεν αὐτὸν ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν τὸ λογεῖον, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸ λογεῖον τὴν δήλωσιν καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν.
9And he put the mitre on his head, and put upon the mitre in front the golden plate, the most holy thing, as the Lord commanded Moses.Καὶ ἐπέθηκε τὴν μίτραν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὴν μίτραν κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τὸ πέταλον τὸ χρυσοῦν τὸ καθηγιασμένον ἅγιον, ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
10And Moses took of the anointing oil,Καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τῆς χρίσεως,
11and sprinkled of it seven times on the altar; and anointed the altar, and hallowed it, and all things on it, and the laver, and its foot, and sanctified them; and anointed the tabernacle and all its furniture, and hallowed it.καὶ ἔῤῥανεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἑπτάκις· καὶ ἔχρισε τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἡγίασεν αὐτὸ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ τὸν λουτῆρα, καὶ τὴν βάσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡγίασεν αὐτά· καὶ ἔχρισε τὴν σκηνὴν, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς, καὶ ἡγίασεν αὐτήν.
12And Moses poured of the anointing oil on the head of Aaron; and he anointed him and sanctified him.Καὶ ἐπέχεε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τῆς χρίσεως ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἀαρών· καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἡγίασεν αὐτόν.
13And Moses brought the sons of Aaron near, and put on them coats and girded them with girdles, and put on them bonnets, as the Lord commanded Moses.Καὶ προσήγαγε Μωυσῆς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀαρὼν, καὶ ἐνέδυσεν αὐτοὺς χιτῶνας, καὶ ἔζωσεν αὐτοὺς ζώνας, καὶ περιέθηκεν αὐτοῖς κιδάρεις, καθάπερ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
14And Moses brought near the calf for the sin-offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the calf of the sin-offering.Καὶ προσήγαγε Μωυσῆς τὸν μόσχον τὸν περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν Ἀαρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ μόσχου τοῦ τῆς ἁμαρτίας.
15And he killed it; and Moses took of the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar round about with his finger; and he purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement upon it.Καὶ ἔσφαξεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὰ κέρατα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κύκλῳ τῷ δακτύλῳ, καὶ ἐκαθάρισε τὸ θυσιαστήριον· καὶ τὸ αἷμα ἐξέχεεν ἐπὶ τὴν βάσιν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ ἡγίασεν αὐτὸ, τοῦ ἐξιλάσασθαι ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ.
16And Moses took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the lobe on the liver, and both the kidneys, and the fat that was upon them, and Moses offered them on the altar.Καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς πᾶν τὸ στέαρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῶν ἐνδοσθίων, καὶ τὸν λοβὸν τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ ἥπατος, καὶ ἀμφοτέρους τοὺς νεφροὺς, καὶ τὸ στέαρ τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνήνεγκε Μωυσῆς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον.
17But the calf, and his hide, and his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.Καὶ τὸν μόσχον, καὶ τὴν βύρσαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ κρέα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν κόπρον αὐτοῦ, κατέκαυσεν αὐτὰ πυρὶ ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς, ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
18And Moses brought near the ram for a whole burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. And Moses killed the ram: and Moses poured the blood on the altar round about.Καὶ προσήγαγε Μωυσῆς τὸν κριὸν τὸν εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν Ἀαρὼν καὶ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ κριοῦ. Καὶ ἔσφαξε Μωυσῆς τὸν κριόν· καὶ προσέχεε Μωυσῆς τὸ αἷμα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κύκλῳ.
19And he divided the ram by its limbs, and Moses offered the head, and the limbs, and the fat; and he washed the belly and the feet with water.Καὶ τὸν κριὸν ἐκρεανόμησε κατὰ μέλη· καὶ ἀνήνεγκε Μωυσῆς τὴν κεφαλὴν, καὶ τὰ μέλη, καὶ τὸ στέαρ· καὶ τὴν κοιλίαν, καὶ τοὺς πόδας ἔπλυνεν ὕδατι.
20And Moses offered up the whole ram on the altar: it is a whole burnt offering for a sweet smelling savor; it is a burnt offering to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.Καὶ ἀνήνεγκε Μωυσῆς ὅλον τὸν κριὸν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον· ὁλοκαύτωμά ἐστιν εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας· κάρπωμά ἐστι τῷ Κυρίῳ, καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
21And Moses brought the second ram, the ram of consecration, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, and he killed him;Καὶ προσήγαγε Μωυσῆς τὸν κριὸν τὸν δεύτερον, κριὸν τελειώσεως· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν Ἀαρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ κριοῦ.
22and Moses took of his blood, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.Καὶ ἔσφαξεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ὠτὸς Ἀαρὼν τοῦ δεξιοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ποδὸς τοῦ δεξιοῦ.
23And Moses brought near the sons of Aaron; and Moses put of the blood on the tips of their right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the great toes of their right feet, and Moses poured out the blood on the altar round about.Καὶ προσήγαγε Μωυσῆς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀαρών· καὶ ἐπέθηκε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος ἐπὶ τοὺς λοβοὺς τῶν ὤτων τῶν δεξιῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν τῶν δεξιῶν· καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῶν τῶν δεξιῶν· καὶ προσέχεε Μωυσῆς τὸ αἷμα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κύκλῳ.
24And he took the fat, and the rump, and the fat on the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder.Καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ στέαρ, καὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν, καὶ τὸ στέαρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς κοιλίας, καὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ἥπατος, καὶ τοὺς δύο νεφροὺς, καὶ τὸ στέαρ τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸν βραχίονα τὸν δεξιόν.
25And from the basket of consecration, which was before the Lord, he also took one unleavened loaf, and one loaf made with oil, and one cake; and put them upon the fat, and the right shoulder:Καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ κανοῦ τῆς τελειώσεως, τοῦ ὄντος ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἄρτον ἕνα ἄζυμον, καὶ ἄρτον ἐξ ἐλαίου ἕνα, καὶ λάγανον ἓν, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸ στέαρ, καὶ τὸν βραχίονα τὸν δεξιόν.
26and put them all on the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and offered them up for a wave-offering before the Lord.Καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἅπαντα ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας Ἀαρὼν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὰ ἀφαίρεμα ἔναντι Κυρίου.
27And Moses took them at their hands, and Moses offered them on the altar, on the whole burnt offering of consecration, which is a smell of sweet savor: it is a burnt offering to the Lord.Καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὰ Μωυσῆς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, ἐπὶ τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα τῆς τελειώσεως, ὅ ἐστι ὀσμὴ εὐωδίας· κάρπωμά ἐστιν τῷ Κυρίῳ.
28And Moses took the breast, and separated it for a heave-offering before the Lord, from the ram of consecration; and it became Moses' portion, as the Lord commanded Moses.Καὶ λαβὼν Μωυσῆς τὸ στηθύνιον, ἀφεῖλεν αὐτὸ ἐπίθεμα ἔναντι Κυρίου, ἀπὸ τοῦ κριοῦ τῆς τελειώσεως· καὶ ἐγένετο Μωυσῇ ἐν μεριδι, καθὰ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
29And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood that was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, and on his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.Καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τῆς χρίσεως, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ προσέῤῥνεν ἐπὶ Ἀαρὼν, καὶ τὰς στολὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰς στολὰς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
30And he sanctified Aaron and his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.Καὶ ἡγίασεν Ἀαρὼν, καὶ τὰς στολάς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰς στολὰς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
31And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh in the tent of the tabernacle of witness in the holy place; and there you shall eat it and the loaves in the basket of consecration, as it has been appointed me, the Lord saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat them.Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρὼν, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἑψήσατε τὰ κρέα ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ· καὶ ἐκεῖ φάγεσθε αὐτὰ, καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους τοὺς ἐν τῷ κανῷ τῆς τελειώσεως, ὃν τρόπον συντέτακταί μοι, λέγων, Ἀαρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ φάγονται αὐτά.
32And that which is left of the flesh and of the loaves burn you with fire.Καὶ τὸ καταλειφθὲν τῶν κρεῶν καὶ τῶν ἄρτων ἐν πυρὶ κατακαύσατε.
33And you shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of witness for seven days, until the day be fulfilled, the day of your consecration; for in seven days shall he consecrate you,Καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου οὐκ ἐξελεύσεσθε ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας, ἕως ἡμέρα πληρωθῇ, ἡμέρα τελειώσεως ὑμῶν· ἑπτὰ γὰρ ἡμέρας τελειώσει τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν.
34as he did in this day on which the Lord commanded me to do so, to make an atonement for you.Καθάπερ ἐποίησεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ, ᾗ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τοῦ ποιῆσαι, ὥστε ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ ὑμῶν.
35And you shall remain seven days at the door of the tabernacle of witness, day and night; you shall observe the ordinances of the Lord, that you die not; for so has the Lord God commanded me.Καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καθήσεσθε ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας, ἡμέραν καὶ νύκτα· φυλάξεσθε τὰ φυλάγματα Κυρίου, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνητε· οὕτω γὰρ ἐνετείλατό μοι Κύριος ὁ Θεός.
36And Aaron and his sons performed all these commands which the Lord commanded Moses.Καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀαρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ πάντας τοὺς λόγους, οὓς συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
