< Leviticus 9 >
1 And when the eighth day was come, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the ancients of Israel, and said to Aaron:
And on the eighth day Moses sent for Aaron and his sons and the responsible men of Israel;
2 Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust, both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.
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.
3 And to the children of Israel thou shalt say: Take ye a he goat for sin, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, and without blemish for a holocaust,
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;
4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings: and immolate them before the Lord, offering for the sacrifice of every one of them flour tempered with oil; for today the Lord will appear to you.
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.
5 They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood,
And they took the things ordered by Moses, before the Tent of meeting, and all the people came near, waiting before the Lord.
6 Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: do it, and his glory will appear to you.
And Moses said, This is what the Lord has said you are to do; and you will see the glory of the Lord.
7 And he said to Aaron: Approach to the altar, and offer sacrifice for thy sin: offer the holocaust, and pray for thyself and for the people: and when thou hast slain the people’s victim, pray for them, as the Lord hath commanded.
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.
8 And forthwith Aaron, approaching to the altar, immolated the calf for his sin:
So Aaron came near to the altar and put to death the ox for the sin-offering for himself;
9 And his sons brought him the blood of it: and he dipped his finger therein, and touched the horns of the altar, and poured the rest at the foot thereof.
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;
10 And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the caul of the liver, which are for sin, he burnt upon the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses:
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.
11 But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without the camp.
And the flesh and the skin were burned with fire outside the tent-circle;
12 He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on the altar.
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;
13 And the victim being cut into pieces, they brought to him the head and all the members, all which he burnt with fire upon the altar,
And they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head, to be burned on the altar.
14 Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water.
And the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were burned on the burned offering on the altar.
15 Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he goat: and expiating the altar,
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.
16 He offered the holocaust:
And he took the burned offering, offering it in the ordered way;
17 Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered withal, and burning them upon the altar, besides the ceremonies of the morning holocaust.
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.
18 He immolated also the bullock and the ram, the peace offerings of the people: and his sons brought him the blood, which he poured upon the altar round about.
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;
19 The fat also of the bullock, and the rump of the ram, and the two little kidneys, with their fat, and the caul of the liver,
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;
20 They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt upon the altar,
They put the fat on the breasts, and the fat was burned on the altar.
21 Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.
And Aaron took the breasts and the right leg, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses gave orders.
22 And stretching forth his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being finished, he came down.
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.
23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came forth and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the multitude:
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.
24 And behold a fire, coming forth from the Lord, devoured the holocaust, and the fat that was upon the altar: which when the multitude saw, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces.
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.
