Leviticus 9

World English Bible

¹On the eighth day, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

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

³You 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 defect, for a burnt offering;

⁴and 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.’”

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

⁶Moses said, “This is the thing which Yahweh commanded that you should do: and Yahweh’s glory shall appear to you.”

⁷Moses 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.”

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

⁹The 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:

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

¹¹The meat and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.

¹²He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons delivered the blood to him, and he sprinkled it around on the altar.

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

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

¹⁵He 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.

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

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

¹⁸He 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,

¹⁹and 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:

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

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

²²Aaron 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.

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

²⁴Fire came out from before Yahweh, and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
