< Leviticus 9 >

1 And it comes to pass on the eighth day, Moses has called for Aaron and for his sons, and for [the] elderly of Israel,
And when the eighth day was come, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the ancients of Israel, and said to Aaron:
2 and he says to Aaron, “Take a calf for yourself, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, perfect ones, and bring [them] near before YHWH.
Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust, both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.
3 And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Take a kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a calf, and a lamb, sons of a year, perfect ones, for a burnt-offering,
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,
4 and a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before YHWH, and a present mixed with oil; for today YHWH has appeared to you.”
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.
5 And they take that which Moses has commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and all the congregation draws near and stands before YHWH;
They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood,
6 and Moses says, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded; do [it], and the glory of YHWH appears to you.”
Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: do it, and his glory will appear to you.
7 And Moses says to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar, and make your sin-offering, and your burnt-offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for the people, and make the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as YHWH has commanded.”
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.
8 And Aaron draws near to the altar, and slaughters the calf of the sin-offering, which [is] for himself;
And forthwith Aaron, approaching to the altar, immolated the calf for his sin:
9 and the sons of Aaron bring the blood near to him, and he dips his finger in the blood, and puts [it] on the horns of the altar, and he has poured out the blood at the foundation of the altar;
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.
10 and the fat, and the kidneys, and the redundance of the liver, of the sin-offering, he has made incense on the altar, as YHWH has commanded Moses;
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:
11 and he has burned the flesh and the skin with fire, at the outside of the camp.
But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without the camp.
12 And he slaughters the burnt-offering, and the sons of Aaron have presented the blood to him, and he sprinkles it around the altar;
He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on the altar.
13 and they have presented the burnt-offering to him, by its pieces, and the head, and he makes incense on the altar;
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,
14 and he washes the innards and the legs, and makes incense for the burnt-offering on the altar.
Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water.
15 And he brings the offering of the people near, and takes the goat of the sin-offering which [is] for the people, and slaughters it, and makes it a sin-offering, like the first;
Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he goat: and expiating the altar,
16 and he brings the burnt-offering near, and makes it, according to the ordinance;
He offered the holocaust:
17 and he brings the present near, and fills his palm with it, and makes incense on the altar, apart from the burnt-offering of the morning.
Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered withal, and burning them upon the altar, besides the ceremonies of the morning holocaust.
18 And he slaughters the bullock and the ram, a sacrifice of the peace-offerings, which [are] for the people, and sons of Aaron present the blood to him (and he sprinkles it around the altar),
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.
19 and the fat of the bullock, and of the ram, the fat tail, and the covering [of the innards], and the kidneys, and the redundance on the liver,
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,
20 and they set the fat on the breasts, and he makes incense with the fat on the altar;
They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt upon the altar,
21 and Aaron has waved the breasts and the right leg [as] a wave-offering before YHWH, as He has commanded Moses.
Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.
22 And Aaron lifts up his hand toward the people, and blesses them, and comes down from making the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings.
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.
23 And Moses goes in—Aaron also—to the Tent of Meeting, and they come out, and bless the people, and the glory of YHWH appears to all the people;
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:
24 and fire comes out from before YHWH, and consumes the burnt-offering and the fat on the altar; and all the people see, and cry aloud, and fall on their faces.
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.
