Leviticus 9

1 It happened on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

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

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.

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.

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;

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;

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.'"

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.’”

5 They brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before Jehovah.

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

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

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."

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.”

8 So Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

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

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:

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.

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.

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.

11 The flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.

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

Aaron killed the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on the sides of the altar.

13 They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burned them upon the altar.

They brought him the head and all the other pieces of the burnt offering, and he burned them on the altar.

14 He washed the entrails and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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,

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.

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:

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—

20 and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar:

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
