Leviticus Chapter 9

1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called for Aaron, and for his sons,—and for the elders of Israel;

2 and said unto Aaron—Take for thyself a choice calf, as a sin-bearer, and a ram for an ascending-sacrifice, each without defect,—and bring them near before Yahweh;

3 and unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying,—Take ye a he-goat, as a sin-bearer, and a calf and a young sheep, each a year old, without defect for an ascending-sacrifice;

4 and an ox and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Yahweh, and a meal-offering overflowed with oil,—for, to-day, doth, Yahweh, appear unto you.

5 So they brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting,—and all the assembly drew near, and stood before Yahweh.

6 And Moses said—This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded that ye shall do,—that the glory of Yahweh may appear unto you.

7 and Moses said unto Aaron—Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin-bearer and thine ascending-sacrifice, and put a propitiatory-covering about thyself and about the people,—and offer the oblation of the people and put a propitiatory-covering about them, As Yahweh hath commanded.

8 So Aaron drew near unto the altar,—and slew the sin-bearing calf which was for himself;

9 and the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put [thereof] upon the horns of the altar,—and the [remainder of the] blood, poured he out at the base of the altar;

10 and with the fat and the kidneys and the caul a from the liver, of the sin-bearer, made he a perfume at the altar,—As Yahweh commanded Moses.

11 But, the flesh and the skin, consumed he with fire, outside the camp.

12 Then slew he the ascending-sacrifice,—and the sons of Aaron presented unto him the blood, and he dashed it against the altar round about.

13 And the ascending-sacrifice, presented they unto him piece by piece thereof also the head,—and he made a perfume upon the altar:

14 and he bathed the inwards and the legs,—and made a perfume upon the ascending-sacrifice at the altar.

15 Then brought he near the oblation of the people,—and took the sin-bearing goat which pertained to the people, and slew it and made therewith a sin-bearer, like the first.

16 Then brought he near the ascending-sacrifice,—and offered it, according to the regulation,

17 Then brought he near the meal-offering, and filled his hand therefrom, and made a perfume upon the altar,—in addition to the ascending-sacrifice of the morning.

18 Then slew he the ox, and the ram, as a peace-offering, which pertained unto the people,—and the sons of Aaron presented the blood unto him, and he dashed it against the altar, round about;

19 and the portions of fat from the ox,—and from the ram, the fat-tail, and the covering, and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver;

20 and they put the portions of fat upon the breasts,—and he made a perfume with the fat at the altar;

21 but the breasts and the right shoulder, did Aaron wave as a wave-offering, before Yahweh,—as Moses commanded,

22 Then Aaron lifted up his hands towards the people, and blessed them,—and he came down from offering the sin-bearer, and the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offering.

23 And when Moses and Aaron had entered into the tent of meeting,—and had come forth, and blessed the people, then appeared the glory of Yahweh, unto all the people;

24 yea, there came forth fire from before Yahweh, and consumed upon the altar, the ascending-sacrifice and the portions of fat,—and all the people beheld and shouted, and fell down upon their faces.
