Leviticus 9
1 And it came to pass on the eighth
day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel,
2 and Moses said to Aaron, Take to
thyself a young calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a
whole-burnt-offering, unblemished, and offer them before the Lord.
3 And speak to the elders of Israel,
saying, Take one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a young calf, and a
lamb of a year old for a whole-burnt-offering, spotless,
4 and a calf and a ram for a peace
offering before the Lord, and fine flour mingled with oil, for to-day the Lord
will appear among you. 5 And they took
as Moses commanded them before the tabernacle of witness, and all the
congregation drew nigh, and they stood before the Lord.
6 And Moses said, This is the thing
which the Lord has spoken; do it, and the glory of
the Lord shall appear among you. 7 And
Moses said to Aaron, Draw nigh to the altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and
thy whole-burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for thy house;
and offer the gifts of the people, and make atonement for them, as the Lord
commanded Moses. 8 And Aaron drew nigh
to the altar, and slew the calf of his sin-offering.
9 And the sons of Aaron brought the
blood to him, and he dipped his finger into the blood, and put it on the horns
of the altar, and he poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar.
10 And he offered up on the altar the
fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver of the sin-offering, according
as the Lord commanded Moses. 11 And
the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire outside of the camp.
12 And he slew the
whole-burnt-offering; and the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he
poured it on the altar round about.
13 And they brought the
whole-burnt-offering, according to its pieces; them and the head he put upon
the altar. 14 And he washed the belly
and the feet with water, and he put them on the whole-burnt-offering on the
altar.
15 And he brought the gift of the
people, and took the goat of the sin-offering of the people, and slew it, and
purified it as also the first. 16 And
he brought the whole-burnt-offering, and offered it in due form.
17 And he brought the sacrifice and
filled his hands with it, and laid it on the altar, besides the morning
whole-burnt-offering. 18 And he slew
the calf, and the ram of the sacrifice of peace-offering of the people; and
the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he poured it out on the altar
round about. 19 And
he took the fat of the calf, and the hind quarters of
the ram, and the fat covering the belly, and the two kidneys, and the fat upon
them, and the caul on the liver.
20 And he put the fat on the breasts,
and offered the fat on the altar.
21 And Aaron separated the breast and
the right shoulder as a choice-offering before the Lord, as the Lord commanded
Moses. 22 And Aaron lifted up his
hands on the people and blessed them; and after he had offered the
sin-offering, and the whole-burnt-offerings, and the peace-offerings, he came
down. 23 And Moses and Aaron entered
into the tabernacle of witness. And they came out and blessed all the people,
and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
24 And fire came forth from the Lord,
and devoured the offerings on the altar, both the whole-burnt-offerings and
the fat; and all the people saw, and were amazed, and fell upon their faces.
