1On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the leaders of Israel. 2He told Aaron, "Take a calf that has no defects for yourself as an offering for sin and a ram that has no defects as a burnt offering. Sacrifice them in the LORD's presence. 3Also tell the Israelites: 'Take a male goat as an offering for sin, a calf and a lamb (each one year old and without defects) as a burnt offering, 4a bull and a ram as a fellowship offering, and a grain offering mixed with olive oil to sacrifice in the LORD's presence. The LORD will appear to you today.'" 5So they took the things Moses commanded and brought them in front of the tent of meeting. The whole congregation came and stood in the LORD's presence. 6Moses said, "The LORD has commanded you to offer these sacrifices so that you may see the LORD's glory." 7Moses told Aaron, "Come to the altar and sacrifice an offering for sin and a burnt offering to make peace with the LORD for your sins and the sins of the people. Also make an offering for the people, to make peace with the LORD for them as the LORD commanded."

8Aaron came to the altar and slaughtered the calf as his own offering for sin. 9Aaron's sons brought him the blood. He dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar. Then he poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar. 10On the altar he burned the fat, kidneys, and lobe of the liver from the offering for sin as the LORD had commanded Moses. 11He burned the meat and the skin outside the camp.

12He slaughtered the animal for the burnt offering. Aaron's sons gave him the blood, and he threw it against the altar on all sides. 13They also gave him the burnt offering, which was cut in pieces and included the head. He burned it on the altar. 14He washed the internal organs and the legs and laid them on top of the burnt offering on the altar.

15He brought the people's offerings. He took the male goat for the people's offering for sin and slaughtered it. He sacrificed it to take away sins as he had done before. 16Following the proper procedures, he brought forward the burnt offering and sacrificed it. 17He also brought the grain offering. He took a handful of grain and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning burnt offering.

18He slaughtered the bull and the ram for the people's fellowship offering. Aaron's sons gave him the blood, which he threw against the altar on all sides. 19However, the fat from the bull and the ram (the fat from the tail, the layer of fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver) 20they placed on the breasts. Aaron burned them all on the altar. 21However, he first took the breasts and the right thighs and presented them to the LORD as Moses commanded.

22Then Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. He sacrificed the offering for sin, the burnt offering, and the fellowship offering. Then he came down [from the altar].

23Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people. Then the LORD's glory appeared to all the people. 24Fire came out from the LORD's presence and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces of fat on the altar. When all the people saw this, they shouted and bowed with their faces touching the ground.
