Leviticus 9

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

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

2 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.

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 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;

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 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.’”

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 Following Moses' orders they brought what he'd said to the front of the Tent of Meeting. Everyone came and stood before the Lord.

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 what the Lord ordered me to tell you to do, so that you may see his glory.”

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 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.”

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 So Aaron went to the altar and killed the calf as a sin offering for himself.

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

9 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.

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 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.

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

And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire outside of the camp.

12 Aaron killed the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on the sides of 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 They brought him the head and all the other pieces of the burnt offering, and he burned them on the altar.

And they brought the whole burnt offering, according to its pieces; them and the head he put upon the altar.

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

And he washed the belly and the feet with water, and he put them on the whole burnt offering on the altar.

15 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.

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

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

17 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.

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

18 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.

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 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—

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

And he put the fat on the breasts, and offered the fat on the altar.

21 but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had ordered him to do.

And Aaron separated the breast and the right shoulder as a choice-offering before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

22 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
