THE BIBLE

Leviticus
Chapter 9


9:1  It happened on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

9:2  and he said to Aaron, "Take a calf from the herd for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before Yahweh.

9:3  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 blemish, for a burnt offering;

9:4  and an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Yahweh; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for today Yahweh appears to you.'"

9:5  They brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before Yahweh.

9:6  Moses said, "This is the thing which Yahweh commanded that you should do: and the glory of Yahweh shall appear to you."

9:7  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 atonement for them; as Yahweh commanded."

9:8  So Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

9:9  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:

9:10  but the fat, and the kidneys, and the cover from the liver of the sin offering, he burned upon the altar; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

9:11  The flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.

9:12  He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons delivered the blood to him, and he sprinkled it on the altar round about.

9:13  They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burned them upon the altar.

9:14  He washed the innards and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar.

9:15  He presented the people's offering, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, like the first.

9:16  He presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance.

9:17  He presented the meal offering, and filled his hand from there, and burned it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning.

9:18  He also killed the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons delivered to him the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar round about,

9:19  and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the innards, and the kidneys, and the cover of the liver:

9:20  and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar:

9:21  and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before Yahweh, as Moses commanded.

9:22  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.

9:23  Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the people.

9:24  There came forth fire from before Yahweh, and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar: and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
