Leviticus  Chapter 9    Back    Next

{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 a bull 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 around on the altar.

{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 bull 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 around on the altar,

{9:19} and the fat of the bull 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.
