Leviticus 9:1-24 — Aaron's First Sacrifices

Lev.9.1-24

¹Now on the eighth day , Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. ²He said to Aaron, "Take for yourself a calf from the herd for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and present them before YHWH. ³And you shall speak to the Israelites, saying, 'Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both a year old and without blemish, for a burnt offering, ⁴and an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before YHWH, and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today YHWH will appear to you.'" ⁵So they brought what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and the whole congregation came near and stood before YHWH. ⁶And Moses said, “This is what YHWH has commanded you to do, so that the glory of YHWH may appear to you.” ⁷Then Moses said to Aaron, “Come near to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. Then offer the people's offering and make atonement for them, as YHWH commanded.” ⁸So Aaron came near to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering that was for himself. ⁹Aaron's sons brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar. Then he poured out the blood at the base of the altar. ¹⁰But the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering he offered up in smoke on the altar, as YHWH had commanded Moses. ¹¹And the flesh and the hide he burned with fire outside the camp. ¹²Then he slaughtered the burnt offering, and Aaron's sons brought the blood to him, and he dashed it against the altar on all sides. ¹³Aaron's sons brought the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head, and he offered them up in smoke on the altar. ¹⁴He washed the entrails and the legs and offered them up in smoke on the burnt offering on the altar. ¹⁵Then he presented the people's offering. He took the goat of the sin offering that was for the people, slaughtered it, and offered it as a sin offering like the first one. ¹⁶He presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance. ¹⁷Then he presented the grain offering, filled his hand with part of it, and offered it up in smoke on the altar, besides the morning burnt offering. ¹⁸Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of the peace offerings for the people. Aaron's sons brought the blood to him, and he dashed it against the altar on all sides. ¹⁹They also brought the fat portions from the ox and from the ram: the fat tail, the covering fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver. ²⁰They placed the fat portions on the breasts, and he offered the fat portions up in smoke on the altar. ²¹But the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved as a wave offering before YHWH, as Moses had commanded. ²²Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them, and he came down after offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings. ²³Then Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of YHWH appeared to all the people. ²⁴And fire came out from before YHWH and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell on their faces.
