Lévitique 9

¹ And it cometh to pass on the eighth day, Moses hath called for Aaron and for his sons, and for the elders of Israel,

² and he saith unto Aaron, 'Take to thyself a calf, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, perfect ones, and bring near before Jehovah.

³ 'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a calf, and a lamb, sons of a year, perfect ones, for a burnt-offering,

⁴ and a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah, and a present mixed with oil ; for to-day Jehovah hath appeared unto you.'

⁵ And they take that which Moses hath commanded unto the front of the tent of meeting, and all the company draw near and stand before Jehovah ;

⁶ and Moses saith, 'This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded ; do [it], and the honour of Jehovah doth appear unto you.'

⁷ And Moses saith unto Aaron, 'Draw near unto the altar, and make thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people, and make the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as Jehovah hath commanded.'

⁸ And Aaron draweth near unto the altar, and slaughtereth the calf of the sin-offering, which [is] for himself ;

⁹ and the sons of Aaron bring the blood near unto him, and he dippeth his finger in the blood, and putteth [it] on the horns of the altar, and the blood he hath poured out at the foundation of the altar ;

¹⁰ and the fat, and the kidneys, and the redundance of the liver, of the sin-offering, he hath made a perfume on the altar, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses ;

¹¹ and the flesh and the skin he hath burnt with fire, at the outside of the camp.

¹² And he slaughtereth the burnt-offering, and the sons of Aaron have presented unto him the blood, and he sprinkleth it on the altar round about ;

¹³ and the burnt-offering they have presented unto him, by its pieces, and the head, and he maketh perfume on the altar ;

¹⁴ and he washeth the inwards and the legs, and maketh perfume for the burnt-offering on the altar.

¹⁵ And he bringeth near the offering of the people, and taketh the goat of the sin-offering which [is] for the people, and slaughtered it, and maketh it a sin-offering, like the first ;

¹⁶ and he bringeth near the burnt-offering, and maketh it, according to the ordinance ;

¹⁷ and he bringeth near the present, and filleth his palm with it, and maketh perfume on the altar, apart from the burnt-offering of the morning.

¹⁸ And he slaughtereth the bullock and the ram, a sacrifice of the peace-offerings, which [are] for the people, and sons of Aaron present the blood unto him (and he sprinkleth it on the altar round about),

¹⁹ and the fat of the bullock, and of the ram, the fat tail, and the covering [of the inwards], and the kidneys, and the redundance above the liver,

²⁰ and they set the fat on the breasts, and he maketh perfume with the fat on the altar ;

²¹ and the breasts, and the right leg hath Aaron waved — a wave-offering before Jehovah, as He hath commanded Moses.

²² And Aaron lifteth up his hand towards the people, and blesseth them, and cometh down from making the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings.

²³ And Moses goeth in — Aaron also — unto the tent of meeting, and they come out, and bless the people, and the honour of Jehovah appeareth unto all the people ;

²⁴ and fire cometh out from before Jehovah, and consumeth on the altar the burnt-offering, and the fat ; and all the people see, and cry aloud, and fall on their faces.
