Leviticus 9

1 It happened 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 to Aaron, "Take a calf from the herd for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before Jehovah.

“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 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'Take a male goat for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, 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 and a bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for today Jehovah appears to 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 They brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before Jehovah.

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

6 Moses said, "This is the thing which Jehovah commanded that you should do: and the glory of Jehovah shall appear to you."

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

7 Moses said to Aaron, "Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin offering, and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them; as Jehovah 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 So Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

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

9 The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base 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 cover from the liver of the sin offering, he burned upon the altar; as Jehovah 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 The flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.

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

12 He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons delivered the blood to him, and he sprinkled it around on 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 They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burned 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 He washed the entrails and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar.

having first washed the intestines and the feet with water.

15 He presented the people's offering, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, like the first.

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

16 He presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance.

he accomplished the holocaust,

17 He presented the meal offering, and filled his hand from there, and burned it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering 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 also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons delivered to him the blood, which he sprinkled around on the altar,

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 bull and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the entrails, and the kidneys, and the cover of 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 burned the fat on the altar:

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

21 and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before Jehovah, 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 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.

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 Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of Jehovah appeared to 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 There came forth fire from before Jehovah, and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar: and when all the people saw it, 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.
