Leviticus 8:26-34 Seventh Reading

Torah Papers | June 27, 2025

26 He took one loaf of regular unleavened bread, one scalded loaf of “oil bread,” (so called because these loaves were made using the same amount of oil as the other two types of bread combined) and one flat unleavened cake out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before God, and he placed them on top of the fats and the right thigh.

27 Then he placed it all on Aaron’s palms and on his sons’ palms, put his hands underneath theirs, and thus, together with them, he waved the fats, the right thigh, and the loaves, i.e., moved them forward and backward in all four directions, and then upward and downward, thus making it all into a wave-offering before God.

28 Moses took the fats, the thigh, and the loaves from their hands and burned them up on the Altar along with the ascent-offering. He burned them up with the intention that they be pleasing installation-offerings and a fire-offering to God.

29 Moses took the breast of the installation ram and waved it in the same way that he waved the burnt portions, making it a wave-offering before God. It then belonged to Moses as his portion to eat from the installation ram, as God had commanded Moses.

Seventh Reading 30 Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the Altar. He sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on his sons’ garments, and he thereby sanctified Aaron, his garments, his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.

31 Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Since the installation-offerings are sacrifices of superior holiness, cook the meat inside the Courtyard and east of the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and eat it there, along with the bread that is in the basket of the installation offerings, as I have commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons must eat it in this location, on the day they are offered up, in order to be installed into the priesthood.’

32 You must burn whatever part of the meat and the bread that is left over the following morning.

Maftir 33 You must not leave the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, i.e., the Courtyard, for seven consecutive days, until the end of the day that completes your installation days, i.e., the seventh day, for He will install you in the priesthood by having you undergo these rituals for seven days.

34 As He has done on this day, so has God commanded me to do to you for the next six days, as well, to atone for you for anything you may have done in the past that would be inconsistent with your priesthood.
