Leviticus 9

Revised Geneva Translation

9 And on the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel.

² Then he said to Aaron, “Take a young calf for a Sin Offering, and a ram for a Burnt Offering, without blemish, and bring them before the LORD.

³ “And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Take a male goat for a Sin Offering, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, without blemish for a Burnt Offering.

⁴ ‘Also a bullock and a ram, for Peace Offerings to offer before the LORD, and a Meat Offering, mingled with oil. For today the LORD will appear to you.’”

⁵ Then they brought that which Moses commanded before the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And all the assembly drew near and stood before the LORD.

⁶ For Moses had said, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded that you should do. And the Glory of the LORD shall appear to you.”

⁷ Then Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the Altar and offer your Sin Offering, and your Burnt Offering, and make an atonement for yourself and for the people. Also, offer the offering of the people and make an atonement for them, as the LORD has commanded.”

⁸ So Aaron went to the Altar and killed the calf of the Sin Offering which was for himself.

⁹ And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him. And he dipped his finger in the blood and put it upon the horns of the Altar and poured the rest of the blood at the foot of the Altar.

¹⁰ But he burnt the fat and the kidneys and the fatty lobe of the liver of the Sin Offering upon the Altar, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

¹¹ The flesh also, and the hide, he burnt with fire, outside the camp.

¹² Afterward, he killed the Burnt Offering. And Aaron’s sons brought the blood to him, which he sprinkled all around the Altar.

¹³ Also, they brought the Burnt Offering to him with its pieces, and the head. And he burnt them upon the Altar.

¹⁴ Likewise, he washed the entrails and the legs and burnt them upon the Burnt Offering on the Altar.

¹⁵ Then, he offered the people’s offering and took a goat, which was the Sin Offering for the people, and killed it. And he offered it for sin, as the first.

¹⁶ So he offered the Burnt Offering, and prepared it, according to the manner.

¹⁷ Also, he presented the Meat Offering, and filled his hand with it, and he burnt this upon the altar beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.

¹⁸ He also killed the bullock and the ram for the Peace Offerings that were for the people. And Aaron’s sons brought the blood to him, which he sprinkled upon the Altar all around,

¹⁹ with the fat of the bullock and of the ram the rump and that which covers the entrails and the kidneys and the fatty lobe of the liver.

²⁰ So they laid the fat upon the breasts. And he burnt the fat upon the Altar.

²¹ But Aaron shook the breasts and the right shoulder to and fro before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²² So Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people and blessed them and came down from offering of the Sin Offering and the Burnt Offering and the Peace Offerings.23 Afterward, Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation and came out and blessed the people. And the Glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

²⁴ And there came out a fire from the LORD and consumed the Burnt Offering and the fat upon the altar. Which, when all the people saw, they gave thanks and fell on their faces.
