Leviticus 9

1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called for Aaron, and for his sons, —and for the elders 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 said unto Aaron—Take for thyself a choice calf, as a sin-bearer, and a ram for an ascending-sacrifice, each without defect, —and bring them near before Yahweh;

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 unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying, —Take ye a he-goat, as a sin-bearer, and a calf and a young sheep, each a year old, without defect for an ascending-sacrifice;

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 an ox and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Yahweh, and a meal-offering overflowed with oil, —for, to-day, doth, Yahweh, appear unto 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 So they brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting, —and all the assembly drew near, and stood before Yahweh.

They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood,

6 And Moses said—This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded that ye shall do, —that the glory of Yahweh may appear unto you.

Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: do it, and his glory will appear to you.

7 and Moses said unto Aaron—Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin-bearer and thine ascending-sacrifice, and put a propitiatory-covering about thyself and about the people, —and offer the oblation of the people and put a propitiatory-covering about them, As Yahweh hath 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 So Aaron drew near unto the altar, —and slew the sin-bearing calf which was for himself;

And forthwith Aaron, approaching to 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 [thereof] upon the horns of the altar, —and the [remainder of the] blood, poured he out at the base 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 with the fat and the kidneys and the caul a from the liver, of the sin-bearer, made he a perfume at the altar, —As Yahweh 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 But, the flesh and the skin, consumed he with fire, outside the camp.

But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without the camp.

12 Then slew he the ascending-sacrifice, —and the sons of Aaron presented unto him the blood, and he dashed it against the altar round about.

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 the ascending-sacrifice, presented they unto him piece by piece thereof also the head, —and he made a perfume upon 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 bathed the inwards and the legs, —and made a perfume upon the ascending-sacrifice at the altar.

Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water.

15 Then brought he near the oblation of the people, —and took the sin-bearing goat which pertained to the people, and slew it and made therewith a sin-bearer, like the first.

Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he goat: and expiating the altar,

16 Then brought he near the ascending-sacrifice, —and offered it, according to the regulation,

He offered the holocaust:

17 Then brought he near the meal-offering, and filled his hand therefrom, and made a perfume upon the altar, —in addition to the ascending-sacrifice 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 Then slew he the ox, and the ram, as a peace-offering, which pertained unto the people, —and the sons of Aaron presented the blood unto him, and he dashed it against the altar, round about;

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 portions of fat from the ox, —and from the ram, the fat-tail, and the covering, and the kidneys, and the caul of 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 put the portions of fat upon the breasts, —and he made a perfume with the fat at the altar;

They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt upon the altar,

21 but the breasts and the right shoulder, did Aaron wave as a wave-offering, before Yahweh, —as Moses commanded,

Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.

22 Then Aaron lifted up his hands towards the people, and blessed them, —and he came down from offering the sin-bearer, and the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offering.

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 when Moses and Aaron had entered into the tent of meeting, —and had come forth, and blessed the people, then appeared the glory of Yahweh, unto 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 yea, there came forth fire from before Yahweh, and consumed upon the altar, the ascending-sacrifice and the portions of fat, —and all the people beheld and shouted, and fell down upon 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.
