Leviticus 9:1-8 ▼

1 Eight days later, Moses called Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel.

2 He told Aaron, |Take a young calf for a sin offering and a ram without defect for a whole burnt offering and bring them into the LORD's presence.|

3 He also told the Israelis, |Bring a male goat for a sin offering, a calf, a year old lamb without defect for a whole burnt offering,

4 an ox, a ram for a peace offering to sacrifice in the LORD's presence, and a grain offering with olive oil, because on that day the LORD will appear to you.|

5 So they brought what Moses had commanded to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. The entire congregation drew near and stood in the LORD's presence.

6 Then Moses said, |This is what the LORD commanded you to do so that the glory of the LORD may be revealed to you.|

7 Moses then told Aaron, |Approach the altar and bring your sin and whole burnt offerings. Make atonement for yourself and the people. Then bring the people's offering and make atonement for them, as the LORD commanded.|

8 So Aaron drew near to the altar and slaughtered the calf for a sin offering on behalf of himself.
