< Leviticus 9 >

1 It happened on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and 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 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 of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust, both without blemish, and offer 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;
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 bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for today Jehovah appears 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 They brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before Jehovah.
They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood,
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 hath commanded: do 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 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 to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
And forthwith Aaron, approaching to 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 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 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 caul of the liver, which are for sin, he burnt upon the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses:
11 The flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.
But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without 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 immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on the altar.
13 They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burned them 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 He washed the entrails and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar.
Having first washed the entrails 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.
Then 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 offered 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 in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered withal, and burning them upon the altar, besides 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 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 bull and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the entrails, and the kidneys, and the cover 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 fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar:
They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt 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, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.
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 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 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.
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 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, 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.
