Leviticus 8:6
4 So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
5 And Moses said to them, “This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.”
Then Moses presented Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.
7 He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He tied the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.
8 Then he put the breastpiece on him and placed the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
