Leviticus 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.
