Leviticus 9

1 Then, the eighth day having arrived, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and those greater by birth from Israel, and he said to Aaron:

On the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel.

2 “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.

He said to Aaron, “Take a calf from the herd for a sin offering, and a ram without blemish for a burnt offering, and offer them before Yahweh.

3 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.

You must speak to the people of Israel and say, 'Take a male goat for a sin offering and a calf and a lamb, both a year old and without blemish, for a burnt offering;

4 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.’”

also take an ox and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice before Yahweh, and a grain offering mixed with oil, because today Yahweh will appear to you.'”

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

So they brought all that Moses commanded to the tent of meeting, and all the assembly of Israel approached and stood before Yahweh.

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

Then Moses said, “This is what Yahweh commanded you to do, so that his glory may appear to you.”

7 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.”

Moses said to Aaron, “Come near the altar and offer your sin offering and burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people, and offer the sacrifice for the people to make atonement for them, as Yahweh has commanded.”

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

So Aaron went near the altar and killed the calf for the sin offering, which was for himself.

9 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.

The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger into it and put it on the horns of the altar; then he poured out the blood at the base of the altar.

10 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.

However, he burned the fat, the kidneys, and the covering of the liver on the altar as a sin offering, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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

The meat and the hide he burned outside the camp.

12 He also immolated the victim of holocaust. And his sons brought its blood to him, which he poured out all around the altar.

Aaron killed the burnt offering, and his sons gave him the blood, which he splashed against every side of the altar.

13 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,

Then they gave him the burnt offering, piece by piece, together with the head, and he burned them on the altar.

14 having first washed the intestines and the feet with water.

He washed the inner parts and the legs and burned them on top of the burnt offering on the altar.

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

Aaron presented the people's sacrifice—a goat, then took it as the sacrifice for their sin and killed it; he sacrificed it for sin, as he had done with the first goat.

16 he accomplished the holocaust,

He presented the burnt offering and offered it as Yahweh had commanded.

17 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.

He presented the grain offering; he filled his hand with it and burned it on the altar, along with the morning's burnt offering.

18 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.

He killed also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice for the peace offering, which was for the people. Aaron's sons gave him the blood, which he sprinkled against every side of the altar.

19 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,

However, they cut out the fat of the bull and the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers the inner parts, the kidneys, and the covering of the liver.

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

They took the parts that were cut out and put these on the breasts, and then Aaron burned the fat on the altar.

21 Aaron separated their breasts and the right shoulders, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord, as Moses had instructed.

Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before Yahweh, as Moses had commanded.

22 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.

Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them; then he came down from offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering.

23 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.

Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, then came out again and blessed the people, and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the people.

24 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.

Fire came out from Yahweh and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw this, they shouted and lay facedown.
