| 1On the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel, | 1After the ordination ceremony, on the eighth day, Moses called together Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. |
| 2and he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a bull calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and offer them before the LORD. | 2He said to Aaron, “Take a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without defects, and present them to the LORD. |
| 3And say to the people of Israel, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both a year old without blemish, for a burnt offering, | 3Then tell the Israelites, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering, and take a calf and a lamb, both a year old and without defects, for a burnt offering. |
| 4and an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with oil, for today the LORD will appear to you.’” | 4Also take a bull and a ram for a peace offering and flour moistened with olive oil for a grain offering. Present all these offerings to the LORD because the LORD will appear to you today.’” |
| 5And they brought what Moses commanded in front of the tent of meeting, and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD. | 5So the people presented all these things at the entrance of the Tabernacle, just as Moses had commanded. Then the whole community came forward and stood before the LORD. |
| 6And Moses said, “This is the thing that the LORD commanded you to do, that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.” | 6And Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded you to do so that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.” |
| 7Then Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering and make atonement for yourself and for the people, and bring the offering of the people and make atonement for them, as the LORD has commanded.” | 7Then Moses said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering to purify yourself and the people. Then present the offerings of the people to purify them, making them right with the LORD, just as he has commanded.” |
| 8So Aaron drew near to the altar and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. | 8So Aaron went to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself. |
| 9And the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar and poured out the blood at the base of the altar. | 9His sons brought him the blood, and he dipped his finger in it and put it on the horns of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. |
| 10But the fat and the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver from the sin offering he burned on the altar, as the LORD commanded Moses. | 10Then he burned on the altar the fat, the kidneys, and the long lobe of the liver from the sin offering, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
| 11The flesh and the skin he burned up with fire outside the camp. | 11The meat and the hide, however, he burned outside the camp. |
| 12Then he killed the burnt offering, and Aaron’s sons handed him the blood, and he threw it against the sides of the altar. | 12Next Aaron slaughtered the animal for the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it against all sides of the altar. |
| 13And they handed the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head, and he burned them on the altar. | 13Then they handed him each piece of the burnt offering, including the head, and he burned them on the altar. |
| 14And he washed the entrails and the legs and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar. | 14Then he washed the internal organs and the legs and burned them on the altar along with the rest of the burnt offering. |
| 15Then he presented the people’s offering and took the goat of the sin offering that was for the people and killed it and offered it as a sin offering, like the first one. | 15Next Aaron presented the offerings of the people. He slaughtered the people’s goat and presented it as an offering for their sin, just as he had first done with the offering for his own sin. |
| 16And he presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the rule. | 16Then he presented the burnt offering and sacrificed it in the prescribed way. |
| 17And he presented the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning. | 17He also presented the grain offering, burning a handful of the flour mixture on the altar, in addition to the regular burnt offering for the morning. |
| 18Then he killed the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings for the people. And Aaron’s sons handed him the blood, and he threw it against the sides of the altar. | 18Then Aaron slaughtered the bull and the ram for the people’s peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it against all sides of the altar. |
| 19But the fat pieces of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail and that which covers the entrails and the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver— | 19Then he took the fat of the bull and the ram—the fat of the broad tail and from around the internal organs—along with the kidneys and the long lobes of the livers. |
| 20they put the fat pieces on the breasts, and he burned the fat pieces on the altar, | 20He placed these fat portions on top of the breasts of these animals and burned them on the altar. |
| 21but the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses commanded. | 21Aaron then lifted up the breasts and right thighs as a special offering to the LORD, just as Moses had commanded. |
| 22Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them, and he came down from offering the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings. | 22After that, Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. Then, after presenting the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down from the altar. |
| 23And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and when they came out they blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. | 23Then Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle, and when they came back out, they blessed the people again, and the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole community. |
| 24And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces of fat on the altar, and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces. | 24Fire blazed forth from the LORD’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground. |
