Leviticus 9

1 And on the eighth day Moses sent for Aaron and his sons and the responsible men of Israel;

On the eighth day after the ordination Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel, to meet with him.

2 And he said to Aaron, Take a young ox for a sin-offering and a male sheep for a burned offering, without a mark, and make an offering of them before the Lord.

He told Aaron, “You need to bring a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, both without defects, and present them before the Lord.

3 And say to the children of Israel: Take a he-goat for a sin-offering, and a young ox and a lamb, in their first year, without any mark on them, for a burned offering;

Then tell the Israelites, ‘Bring the following offerings: a male goat as a sin offering; a calf and a lamb, (both a year old and without defects), for a burnt offering;

4 And an ox and a male sheep for peace-offerings, to be put to death before the Lord; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for this day you are to see the Lord.

a bull and a ram as a peace offering to sacrifice before the Lord; and a grain offering mixed with olive oil. Do this because today the Lord is going to reveal himself to you today.’”

5 And they took the things ordered by Moses, before the Tent of meeting, and all the people came near, waiting before the Lord.

Following Moses' orders they brought what he'd said to the front of the Tent of Meeting. Everyone came and stood before the Lord.

6 And Moses said, This is what the Lord has said you are to do; and you will see the glory of the Lord.

Moses said, “This is what the Lord ordered me to tell you to do, so that you may see his glory.”

7 And Moses said to Aaron, Come near to the altar and make your sin-offering and your burned offering to take away your sin and the sin of the people, and make the people's offering to take away their sin; as the Lord has given orders.

Then Moses told Aaron, “Go to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering to make you and the people right. Then sacrifice the offerings brought by the people as a means to make them right, as the Lord ordered.”

8 So Aaron came near to the altar and put to death the ox for the sin-offering for himself;

So Aaron went to the altar and killed the calf as a sin offering for himself.

9 And the sons of Aaron gave him the blood and he put his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, draining out the blood at the base of the altar;

His sons brought the blood to him. He dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.

10 But the fat and the kidneys and the fat on the liver of the sin-offering were burned by him on the altar as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

He burned the fat, the kidneys, and the best part of the liver from the sin offering on the altar, as the Lord had ordered Moses to do.

11 And the flesh and the skin were burned with fire outside the tent-circle;

However, he burned up the meat and the skin outside the camp.

12 And he put to death the burned offering; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

Aaron killed the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on the sides of the altar.

13 And they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head, to be burned on the altar.

They brought him the head and all the other pieces of the burnt offering, and he burned them on the altar.

14 And the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were burned on the burned offering on the altar.

He washed the insides and the legs and burned them with the rest of the burnt offering on the altar.

15 And he made an offering for the people and took the goat of the sin-offering for the people and put it to death, offering it for sin, in the same way as the first.

Then Aaron presented the offerings of the people. He killed the male goat as the sin offering for the people, and offered it in the same way as his own sin offering.

16 And he took the burned offering, offering it in the ordered way;

He presented the burnt offering, doing so in accordance with the regulations.

17 And he put the meal offering before the Lord, and taking some of it in his hand he had it burned on the altar, separately from the burned offering of the morning.

He presented the grain offering. He took a handful from it and burned it on the altar, in addition to the burnt offering presented earlier that morning.

18 And he put to death the ox and the sheep, which were the peace-offerings for the people; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

Aaron killed the bull and the ram as the peace offering for the people. His sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on the sides of the altar.

19 And as for the fat of the ox and the fat tail of the sheep and the fat covering the inside parts and the kidneys and the fat on the liver;

They also brought him the fat portions from the bull, and from the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering the insides, the kidneys, and the best part of the liver—

20 They put the fat on the breasts, and the fat was burned on the altar.

and put them on the breasts. Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar,

21 And Aaron took the breasts and the right leg, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses gave orders.

but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had ordered him to do.

22 And Aaron, lifting up his hands to the people, gave them a blessing; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burned offering, and the peace-offerings.

Then Aaron held up his hands towards the people and blessed them. After that he came down from the altar, having completed the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering.

23 And Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of meeting, and came out and gave the people a blessing, and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people.

Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord was revealed to everyone.

24 And fire came out from before the Lord, burning up the offering on the altar and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they gave a loud cry, falling down on their faces.

Fire came from the presence of the Lord and burned up the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. When everyone saw this, they shouted for joy and fell down with their faces to the ground.
