< 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 it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders 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 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 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 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 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 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 They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood,
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 hath commanded: do 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 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 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 forthwith Aaron, approaching to 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 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 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 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 lobe of the liver of the sin-offering, he made smoke upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.
11 But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without the camp.
And the flesh and the skin were burnt with fire without 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.
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 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 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 entrails 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 Then 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 offered the holocaust:
And the burnt-offering was presented; and he offered it according to the ordinance.
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 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 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.
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 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 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 put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt 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, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.
And the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave-offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
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 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 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 blessed the people; and the glory of the LORD appeared unto 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 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.
