Leviticus 9:1-24

9  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 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.
