Leviticus 9


Aaron Brings Offerings

Now it happened aon the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel;
2 and he said to Aaron, “aTake for yourself a calf, a bull, for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and bring them near before Yahweh. 3 Then to the sons of Israel you shall speak, saying, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both one year old, without blemish, for a burnt offering, 4 and an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Yahweh, and a grain offering mixed with oil; for today aYahweh will appear to you.’” 5 So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the whole congregation came near and stood before Yahweh. 6 And Moses said, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded you to do, that athe glory of Yahweh may appear to you.” 7 Moses then said to Aaron, “Come near to the altar and aoffer your sin offering and your burnt offering, that you may make atonement for yourself and for the people; then offer the offering 1for the people, that you may make atonement for them, just as Yahweh has commanded.”
8 aSo Aaron came near to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering which was for himself.
9 aThen Aaron’s sons brought the blood near to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood and bput some on the horns of the altar and poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. 10 The fat and the kidneys and the 1lobe of the liver of the sin offering he then offered up in smoke on the altar just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 11 aThe flesh and the skin, however, he burned with fire outside the camp.
12 Then he slaughtered the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him, and he splashed it around on the altar.
13 And they handed the burnt offering to him in 1pieces, with the head, and he offered them up in smoke on the altar. 14 He also washed the entrails and the legs and offered them up in smoke with the burnt offering on the altar.
15 Then he brought near the people’s offering and took the agoat of the sin offering which was for the people and slaughtered it and offered it for sin, like the first.
16 He also brought near the burnt offering and 1offered it according to athe legal judgment. 17 Next he brought near athe grain offering and filled his 1hand with some of it and offered it up in smoke on the altar, bbesides the burnt offering of the morning.
18 Then ahe slaughtered the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings which was for the people; and Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him, and he splashed it around on the altar.
19 As for the portions of fat from the ox and from the ram, the fat tail and the fat acovering and the kidneys and the 1lobe of the liver, 20 they now placed the portions of fat on the breasts; and he offered 1them up in smoke on the altar. 21 But athe breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved as a wave offering before Yahweh, just as Moses had commanded.
22 Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and ablessed them, and he stepped down after offering the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings.
23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. Then they came out and blessed the people. And athe glory of Yahweh appeared to all the people. 24 aThen fire came out from before Yahweh and consumed the burnt offering and the portions of fat on the altar. And all the people saw it and shouted and fell on their faces.
