victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer therewith a
sacrifice also, that is, the libations thereof.

And when he hath offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall

Aaron’s and his sons’.

8:2. Take Aaron with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of unction:

the tabernacle.

he put the ephod.

which was Doctrine and Truth.

forehead, he put the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, as
the Lord had commanded him.

tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof.

foot thereof, he sanctified with the oil.
