Leviticus 9

1 Then, the eighth day having arrived, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and those greater by birth from Israel, and he said to Aaron:

And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

2 “Take a calf for sin from the herd, and a ram as a holocaust, both immaculate, and offer them in the sight of the Lord.

and he said unto Aaron: 'Take thee a bull-calf for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.

3 And to the sons of Israel, you shall say: ‘Take a he-goat for sin, and a calf as well as a lamb, both one-year-old and without blemish, as a holocaust.

And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying: Take ye a he-goat for a sin-offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt-offering;

4 Take also an ox and a ram for peace offerings. And immolate them before the Lord, offering with the sacrifice of each one fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil. For today the Lord will appear to you.’”

and an ox and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meal-offering mingled with oil; for to-day the LORD appeareth unto you.'

5 And so they brought everything that Moses had ordered before the door of the tabernacle, where, when all the multitude stood together,

And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting; and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.

6 Moses said: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed. Accomplish it, and his glory will appear to you.”

And Moses said: 'This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do; that the glory of the LORD may appear unto you.'

7 And he said to Aaron: “Approach toward the altar, and immolate on behalf of your sin. Offer the holocaust, and pray for yourself and for the people. And when you have slain the victim for the people, pray for them, just as the Lord has instructed.”

And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people; and present the offering of the people, and make atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.'

8 And immediately Aaron, approaching toward the altar, immolated the calf for his sin.

So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself.

9 And his sons brought its blood to him, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar, and he poured out the remainder at its base.

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

10 And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the mesh of the liver, which are for sin, he burned upon the altar, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

But the fat, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver of the sin-offering, he made smoke upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.

11 Yet truly, the flesh and its skins he burned with fire beyond the camp.

And the flesh and the skin were burnt with fire without the camp.

12 He also immolated the victim of holocaust. And his sons brought its blood to him, which he poured out all around the altar.

And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron's sons delivered unto him the blood, and he dashed it against the altar round about.

13 And when the victim itself was cut into pieces, they brought him the head and each of the limbs, all of which he burned with fire upon the altar,

And they delivered the burnt-offering unto him, piece by piece, and the head; and he made them smoke upon the altar.

14 having first washed the intestines and the feet with water.

And he washed the inwards and the legs, and made them smoke upon the burnt-offering on the altar.

15 And making an offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he-goat. And expiating the altar,

And the people's offering was presented; and he took the goat of the sin-offering which was for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.

16 he accomplished the holocaust,

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

17 adding to it the sacrifice of the libations, which are to be offered together, and burning them upon the altar, separately from the ceremonies of the morning holocaust.

And the meal-offering was presented; and he filled his hand therefrom, and made it smoke upon the altar, besides the burnt-offering of the morning.

18 He also immolated the ox, as well as the ram, as peace offerings for the people. And his sons brought him the blood, which he poured out upon the altar all around.

He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which was for the people; and Aaron's sons delivered unto him the blood, and he dashed it against the altar round about,

19 Then the fat of the ox, and the rump of the ram, and the two little kidneys with their fat, and the mesh of the liver,

and the fat of the ox, and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver.

20 they placed upon the breasts. And when the fat had been burned upon the altar,

And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he made the fat smoke upon the altar.

21 Aaron separated their breasts and the right shoulders, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord, as Moses had instructed.

And the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave-offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.

22 And extending his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so, the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being completed, he descended.

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

23 Then Moses and Aaron entered the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came out and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to the entire multitude.

And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and came out, and blessed the people; and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.

24 And, behold, a fire from the Lord devoured the holocaust, and the fat which was on the altar. When the crowd had seen this, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces.

And there came forth fire from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt-offering and the fat; and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
