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:

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

2 Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust, both without blemish, and offer 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 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,

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 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.

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 They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood,

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 Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: do it, and his glory will appear to you.

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

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.

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 And forthwith Aaron, approaching to the altar, immolated the calf for his sin:

So Aaron went to the altar and killed the calf as a 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.

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 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:

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 But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without the camp.

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

12 He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on 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 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,

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

14 Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water.

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

15 Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he goat: and expiating the altar,

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 He offered the holocaust:

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

17 Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered withal, and burning them upon the altar, besides the ceremonies of the morning holocaust.

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 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.

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 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,

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 upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt upon the altar,

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

21 Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.

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 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.

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 tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came forth and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the multitude:

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 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.

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.
