1 On the eighth day, Moses called Aaron
and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
2 and he said to Aaron, “Take a calf from
the herd for a sin offering, and a ram for
a burnt offering, without defect, 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 defect, for a burnt offering;
Leviticus 9:18
4 and a bull and a ram for peace offer-
ings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a
meal offering mixed with oil: for today the
LORD appears to you.’ ”
5 They brought what Moses commanded
before the Tent of Meeting. All the con-
gregation came near and stood before the
LORD.
6 Moses said, “This is the thing which the
LORD commanded that you should do; and
the LORD’s glory shall 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 atone-
ment for them, as the LORD commanded.”
8 So Aaron came near to the altar, and
killed the calf of the sin offering, which
was 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;
10 but the fat, and the kidneys, and the
cover from the liver of the sin offering,
he burned upon the altar, as the LORD
commanded Moses.
11 The meat and the skin he burned with
fire 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.
13 They delivered the burnt offering to
him, piece by piece, and the head. He
burned them upon the altar.
14 He washed the innards and the legs,
and burned them on 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 of-
fered it for sin, like the first.
16 He presented the burnt offering, and
offered it according to the ordinance.
17 He presented the meal offering, and
filled his hand from there, and burned it
upon the altar, in addition to the burnt
offering of the morning.
18 He also killed the bull and the ram, the
sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for
the people. Aaron’s sons delivered to him
the blood, which he sprinkled around on
the altar;
19 and the fat of the bull and of the ram,
the fat tail, and that which covers the in-
nards, and the kidneys, and the cover of
the liver;
20 and they put the fat upon the breasts,
and he burned the fat on the altar.
21 Aaron waved the breasts and the right
thigh for a wave offering before the LORD,
as Moses 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.
23 Moses and Aaron went into the Tent
of Meeting, and came out, and blessed the
people; and the LORD’s glory appeared to
all the people.
24 Fire came out from before the LORD,
and consumed the burnt offering and the
fat upon the altar. When all the people saw
it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
