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 Moses said to Aaron, Take to yourself a young calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a whole burnt offering, unblemished, 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 speak to the elders of Israel, saying, Take one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a young calf, and a lamb of a year old for a whole burnt offering, spotless,

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 a calf and a ram for a peace offering before the Lord, and fine flour mingled with oil, for today the Lord will appear among 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 took as Moses commanded them before the tabernacle of witness, and all the congregation drew near, and they 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 has spoken; do [it], and the glory of the Lord shall appear among 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 to Aaron, Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin-offering, and your whole burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for your house; and offer the gifts of the people, and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded Moses.

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

And Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of his sin-offering.

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 brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger into the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and he poured out the blood at the bottom 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.

And he offered up on the altar the fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver of the sin-offering, according 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 hide he burnt with fire outside of 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 killed the whole burnt offering; and the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he poured it on 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 brought the whole burnt offering, according to its pieces; them and the head he put upon the altar.

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

And he washed the belly and the feet with water, and he put them on the whole 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 he brought the gift of the people, and took the goat of the sin-offering of the people, and killed it, and purified it as also the first.

16 he accomplished the holocaust,

And he brought the whole burnt offering, and offered it in due form.

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 he brought the sacrifice and filled his hands with it, and laid it on the altar, besides the morning whole burnt offering.

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.

And he killed the calf, and the ram of the sacrifice of peace-offering of the people; and the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he poured it out on 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 [he took] the fat of the calf, and the hind quarters of the ram, and the fat covering the belly, and the two kidneys, and the fat upon them, and the caul on the liver.

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

And he put the fat on the breasts, and offered the fat on 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 Aaron separated the breast and the right shoulder as a choice-offering before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

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 on the people and blessed them; and after he had offered the sin-offering, and the whole burnt offerings, and the peace-offerings, he came down.

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 entered into the tabernacle of witness. And they came out and blessed all the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to 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 fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured the offerings on the altar, both the whole burnt offerings and the fat; and all the people saw, and were amazed, and fell upon their faces.
