And when  ¹evening fell, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

This man came to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that it be given to him.

And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean, fine linen cloth.

And he  ¹laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. And having rolled a great stone in front of the door of the tomb, he went away.

And Mary the Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

On the next day, which is the day after the  ¹preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered unto Pilate,

Saying, Sir, we have remembered that while He was still living, that deceiver said, After three days I will arise.

Therefore, give orders for the grave to be secured until the third day, lest His disciples come and steal Him away and say to the people, He has been raised from the dead. And the last deception will be worse than the first.

Pilate said to them, Take a guard. Go and make the tomb as secure as you know how.

And they went and secured the grave,  ¹sealing the stone, with the guard being there.

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Take  ¹Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread;

And gather all the assembly at the  ¹entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

And Moses did just as Jehovah had commanded him, and the assembly was gathered at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

And Moses said to the assembly, This is what Jehovah has commanded to be done.

And Moses brought Aaron and his sons near and  ¹washed them with water.

And he  ¹put the tunic upon him and girded him with the girding sash and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and with it he bound it to him.

And he placed the breastplate upon him, and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim.

And he placed the turban on his head, and on the turban, on its front, he placed the golden plate, the holy crown, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

And Moses took the anointing oil and  ¹anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and  ²sanctified them.

And he sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them.

And he poured some of the anointing oil on  ¹Aaron's head and anointed him, to sanctify him.

And Moses brought Aaron's sons near, and  ¹clothed them with tunics and girded them with girding sashes and bound high hats on them, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

And he brought the  ¹bull of the  ²sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

And he slaughtered it; and Moses took the blood and put some of it on and around the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and sanctified it, to make expiation for it.

And he took all the fat that was on the inward parts and the appendage of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar.

But the bull and its skin and its flesh and its dung he burned with fire outside the camp, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

And he presented the  ¹ram of the  ²burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

And he slaughtered it, and Moses sprinkled the blood on and around the altar.

And he cut the ram into its pieces, and Moses burned the head and the pieces and the fat.

And the inward parts and the legs he washed with water, and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a satisfying fragrance; it was an offering by fire to Jehovah, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

And he presented the other ram, the  ¹ram of consecration, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

And he slaughtered it, and Moses took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right  ¹ear and on the thumb of his right  ¹hand and on the big toe of his right  ¹foot.

And he brought Aaron's sons near, and Moses put some of the blood on the lobe of their right ear and on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the rest of the blood on and around the altar.

And he took the fat and the fat tail and all the fat that was on the inward parts, and the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh;

And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before Jehovah, he took one unleavened cake and one cake of oiled bread and one wafer, and placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.

And he put all these in the palms of Aaron and in the palms of his sons, and he waved them as a wave offering before Jehovah.

And Moses took them from their palms and burned them on the altar upon the burnt offering. They were an offering of consecration for a satisfying fragrance; it was an offering by fire to Jehovah.

And Moses took the breast and waved it as a wave offering before Jehovah; it was Moses' portion of the ram of consecration, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

And Moses took some of the  ¹anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons and on his sons' garments with him; and he sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecration, just as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.

And what is left of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.

And you shall not go out from the entrance of the Tent of Meeting for  ¹seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled, for it will take  ²seven days to consecrate you.

As has been done this day, so Jehovah has commanded to do, to make expiation for you.

And at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting you shall stay day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Jehovah, that you may not  ¹die; for so I have been commanded.

And Aaron and his sons did all the things which Jehovah had commanded through Moses.

Now on the  ¹eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel;

And he said to Aaron, Take for  ¹yourself a calf of the herd for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and present them before Jehovah.

Then to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, Take a male goat for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old without blemish, for a burnt offering;

And an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah; and a meal offering mingled with oil; for today Jehovah will appear to you.

So they brought what Moses had commanded before the Tent of Meeting, and all the assembly came near and stood before Jehovah.

And Moses said, This is what Jehovah has commanded you to do, and the glory of Jehovah shall appear to you.

Then Moses said to Aaron, Come near to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make expiation for yourself and for the people; and make the offering of the people and make expiation for them, just as Jehovah has commanded.

So Aaron came near to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

And the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, and the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar.

But the fat and the kidneys and the appendage of the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

And the flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.

Then he slaughtered the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons handed the blood to him, and he sprinkled it on and around the altar.

And they handed the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head, and he burned them on the altar.

And he washed the inward parts and the legs and burned them upon the burnt offering on the altar.

Then he presented the  ¹people's offering, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people and slaughtered it and offered it for sin, like the first.

And he presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.

Then he presented the meal offering and filled his hand with some of it and burned it on the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning.

Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of  ¹peace offerings which was for the people; and Aaron's sons handed the blood to him, which he sprinkled on and around the altar.

And the fat portions of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and the fat which covers the inward parts and the kidneys and the appendage of the liver —

These fat portions they then put on the breasts; and he burned the fat portions on the altar.

And the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before Jehovah, just as Moses had commanded.

And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and  ¹blessed them, and he came down from offering the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings.

And Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting. And they came out and  ¹blessed the people; and the glory of Jehovah  ²appeared to all the people.

Then  ¹fire came forth from before Jehovah and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they gave a ringing shout and fell on their faces.

And  ¹Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in them and laid incense on it, and they presented  ²strange fire before Jehovah, which He had not commanded them.

And  ¹fire came out from before Jehovah and consumed them, and they died before Jehovah.

Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what Jehovah spoke, saying,
In those who come near to Me I will be  ¹sanctified,
And before all the people I will be  ¹glorified.
And Aaron was silent.

And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Come near; carry your brothers from before the sanctuary to the  ¹outside of the camp.

So they came near and carried them in their tunics to the outside of the camp, just as Moses had said.

Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, Do not  ¹dishevel the hair of your heads, and do not  ¹tear your garments, that you may not die and that He may not be angry with all the assembly. But let your brothers, the whole house of Israel,  ²weep for the burning which Jehovah has kindled.

And you shall not go out from the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

Then Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying,

 ¹Drink no wine or strong drink, neither you nor your sons with you, when you come into the Tent of Meeting, that you may not die; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations,

Both to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

And to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah has spoken to them through Moses.

Then Moses spoke to Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, Take the  ¹meal offering which remains of Jehovah's offerings by fire, and eat it unleavened beside the altar; for it is most holy.

And you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your due and your sons' due of Jehovah's offerings by fire; for so I have been commanded.

And the  ¹breast of the wave offering and the  ¹thigh of the heave offering you shall eat in a clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you; for they have been given as your due and your sons' due out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.

The thigh of the heave offering and the breast of the wave offering they shall bring with the offerings by fire of the fat portions to wave as a wave offering before Jehovah, and it shall become a perpetual statute for you and for your sons with you, just as Jehovah has commanded.

Then Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, but it had already been burned. So he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,

Why have you not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary? For it is most holy, and He gave it to you to  ¹bear the iniquity of the assembly, to make  ²expiation for them before Jehovah.

Now its blood was not brought inside, into the sanctuary; you should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, just as I commanded.

But Aaron spoke to Moses, See, today they have presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before Jehovah, and such things as these have befallen me! And if I had  ¹eaten the sin offering today, would it have been good in the sight of Jehovah?

And when Moses heard that, it seemed good in his sight.
