Leviticus 9:1-8 ▼

1 On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel.

2 He said to Aaron, “Take a bull calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.

3 And say to the people of Israel, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering; a calf and a lamb, yearlings without blemish, for a burnt offering;

4 and an ox and a ram for an offering of well-being to sacrifice before the LORD; and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today the LORD will appear to you.’”

5 They brought what Moses commanded to the front of the tent of meeting; and the whole congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.

6 And Moses said, “This is the thing that the LORD commanded you to do, so that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.”

7 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people; and sacrifice the offering of the people, and make atonement for them; as the LORD has commanded.”

8 Aaron drew near to the altar, and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
