CHAPTER 9

¹And it happened, on the eighth day, that Moses called to Aaron and to his sons and to the elders of Israel. ²And he said to Aaron, “Take you a calf from the herd as an offense offering and a ram as a burnt offering, both unblemished, and bring them forward before the LORD. ³And to the Israelites you shall speak, saying, ‘Take a he-goat as an offense offering and a yearling unblemished calf and lamb as a burnt offering, ⁴and a bull and a ram as communion offerings to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with oil, for today the LORD will appear before you.’” ⁵And they took that which Moses had charged in front of the Tent of Meeting, and all the community came forward and stood before the LORD. ⁶And Moses said, “This is the thing that the LORD charged, you shall do, that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.” ⁷And Moses said to Aaron, “Come forward to the altar and do your offense offering and your burnt offering and atone for yourself and for the people, and do the offering of the people and atone for them, as the LORD has charged.” ⁸And Aaron came forward to the altar and slaughtered the offense-offering calf which was his. ⁹And the sons of Aaron brought forward the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, and the blood he poured out at the base of the altar. ¹⁰And the fat and the kidneys and the lobe from the liver from the offense offering he turned to smoke on the altar as the LORD had charged Moses. ¹¹And the flesh and the hide he burned in fire outside the camp. ¹²And he slaughtered the burnt offering, and the sons of Aaron provided him with the blood, and he cast it on the altar all around. ¹³And they provided him with the burnt offering in its cut pieces and the head, and he turned it to smoke on the altar. ¹⁴And he washed the innards and the legs and he turned them to smoke together with the burnt offering on the altar. ¹⁵And he brought forward the offering of the people and took the offense-offering he-goat which was the people’s and slaughtered it and performed the offense offering with it as with the previous one. ¹⁶And he brought forward the burnt offering and did it according to the regulation. ¹⁷And he brought forward the grain offering and filled his palm with it and turned it to smoke on the altar, in addition to the morning’s burnt offering. ¹⁸And he slaughtered the bull and the ram of the communion sacrifice which was the people’s, and the sons of Aaron provided him with the blood, and he cast it on the altar all around, ¹⁹and the fat from the bull and from the ram, the broad tail and the covering fat and the kidneys and the lobe on the liver. ²⁰And they placed the fat on the breasts, and he turned the fat to smoke on the altar. ²¹The breasts and the right thigh Aaron elevated in an elevation offering before the LORD, as He had charged Moses. ²²And Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them and came down from having done the offense offering and the burnt offering and the communion sacrifice. ²³And Moses, and Aaron with him, came into the Tent of Meeting, and they came out and blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. ²⁴And a fire came out from before the LORD and consumed on the altar the burnt offering and the fat, and all the people saw and shouted with joy and fell on their faces.
