Leviticus 9

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

Then, the eighth day having arrived, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and those greater by birth from Israel, and he said to Aaron:

2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before YHWH.

“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.

3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;

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.

4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before YHWH; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day YHWH will appear unto you.

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.’”

5 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before YHWH.

And so they brought everything that Moses had ordered before the door of the tabernacle, where, when all the multitude stood together,

6 And Moses said, This is the thing which YHWH commanded that ye should do: and the glory of YHWH shall appear unto you.

Moses said: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed. Accomplish it, and his glory will appear to you.”

7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as YHWH commanded.

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.”

8 Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

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

9 And the sons of Aaron brought 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 bottom of the altar:

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.

10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as YHWH commanded Moses.

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.

11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.

Yet truly, the flesh and its skins he burned with fire beyond the camp.

12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.

He also immolated the victim of holocaust. And his sons brought its blood to him, which he poured out all around the altar.

13 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.

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,

14 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.

having first washed the intestines and the feet with water.

15 And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.

And making an offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he-goat. And expiating the altar,

16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.

he accomplished the holocaust,

17 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.

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.

18 He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,

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.

19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:

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,

20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:

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

21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before YHWH; as Moses commanded.

Aaron separated their breasts and the right shoulders, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord, as Moses had instructed.

22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.

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.

23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of YHWH appeared unto all the people.

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.

24 And there came a fire out from before YHWH, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

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.
