Leviticus 9

¹Then, the eighth day having arrived, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and those greater by birth from Israel, and he said to Aaron:

²“Take a calf for sin from the herd, and a ram as a holocaust, both immaculate, and offer them in the sight of the Lord.

³And to the sons of Israel, you shall say: ‘Take a he-goat for sin, and a calf as well as a lamb, both one-year-old and without blemish, as a holocaust.

⁴Take also an ox and a ram for peace offerings. And immolate them before the Lord, offering with the sacrifice of each one fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil. For today the Lord will appear to you.’ ”

⁵And so they brought everything that Moses had ordered before the door of the tabernacle, where, when all the multitude stood together,

⁶Moses said: “This is the word, which the Lord has instructed. Accomplish it, and his glory will appear to you.”

⁷And he said to Aaron: “Approach toward the altar, and immolate on behalf of your sin. Offer the holocaust, and pray for yourself and for the people. And when you have slain the victim for the people, pray for them, just as the Lord has instructed.”

⁸And immediately Aaron, approaching toward the altar, immolated the calf for his sin.

⁹And his sons brought its blood to him, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar, and he poured out the remainder at its base.

¹⁰And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the mesh of the liver, which are for sin, he burned upon the altar, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

¹¹Yet truly, the flesh and its skins he burned with fire beyond the camp.

¹²He also immolated the victim of holocaust. And his sons brought its blood to him, which he poured out all around the altar.

¹³And when the victim itself was cut into pieces, they brought him the head and each of the limbs, all of which he burned with fire upon the altar,

¹⁴having first washed the intestines and the feet with water.

¹⁵And making an offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he-goat. And expiating the altar,

¹⁶he accomplished the holocaust,

¹⁷adding to it the sacrifice of the libations, which are to be offered together, and burning them upon the altar, separately from the ceremonies of the morning holocaust.

¹⁸He also immolated the ox, as well as the ram, as peace offerings for the people. And his sons brought him the blood, which he poured out upon the altar all around.

¹⁹Then the fat of the ox, and the rump of the ram, and the two little kidneys with their fat, and the mesh of the liver,

²⁰they placed upon the breasts. And when the fat had been burned upon the altar,

²¹Aaron separated their breasts and the right shoulders, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord, as Moses had instructed.

²²And extending his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so, the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being completed, he descended.

²³Then Moses and Aaron entered the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came out and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to the entire multitude.

²⁴And, behold, a fire from the Lord devoured the holocaust, and the fat which was on the altar. When the crowd had seen this, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces.

Leviticus 9

¹And when the eighth day was come, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the ancients of Israel, and said to Aaron:

²Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust, both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.

³And to the children of Israel thou shalt say: Take ye a he goat for sin, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, and without blemish for a holocaust.

⁴Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings. And immolate them before the Lord, offering for the sacrifice of every one of them flour tempered with oil: for to day the Lord will appear to you.

⁵They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood,

⁶Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded. Do it, and his glory will appear to you.

⁷And he said to Aaron: Approach to the altar, and offer sacrifice for thy sin. Offer the holocaust, and pray for thyself and for the people: and when thou hast slain the people's victim, pray for them, as the Lord hath commanded.

⁸And forthwith Aaron, approaching to the altar, immolated the calf for his sin.

⁹And his sons brought him the blood of it: and he dipped his finger therein, and touched the horns of the altar, and poured the rest at the foot thereof.

¹⁰And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the caul of the liver, which are for sin, he burnt upon the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

¹¹But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without the camp.

¹²He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on the altar.

¹³And the victim being cut into pieces, they brought to him the head and all the members: all which he burnt with fire upon the altar.

¹⁴Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water.

¹⁵Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he goat: and expiating the altar,

¹⁶He offered the holocaust.

¹⁷Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered withal, and burning them upon the altar, besides the ceremonies of the morning holocaust.

¹⁸He immolated also the bullock and the ram, and peace offerings of the people: and his sons brought him the blood, which he poured upon the altar round about.

¹⁹The fat also of the bullock, and the rump of the ram, and the two little kidneys with their fat, and the caul of the liver,

²⁰They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt upon the altar,

²¹Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.

²²And stretching forth his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being finished, he came down.

²³And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came forth and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the multitude.

²⁴And, behold, a fire, coming forth from the Lord, devoured the holocaust, and the fat that was upon the altar: which when the multitude saw, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces.
