| New King James Version | New Living Translation |
| 1It came to pass on the eighth day that 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 young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, 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 to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, ‘Take a kid of the goats as a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, as 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. |
| 4also a bull and a ram as 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.’” |
| 5So they brought what Moses commanded before the tabernacle 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. |
| 6Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded you to do, and the glory of the LORD will 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.” |
| 7And Moses said to Aaron, “Go to the altar, offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. Offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as the LORD 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.” |
| 8Aaron therefore went 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. |
| 9Then the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him. And he dipped his finger in the blood, put it on the horns of the altar, and poured 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, the kidneys, and the fatty lobe from the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar, as the LORD had 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 hide he burned with fire outside the camp. | 11The meat and the hide, however, he burned outside the camp. |
| 12And he killed the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled all around on 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. |
| 13Then they presented the burnt offering to him, with its pieces and 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 brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and killed it and offered it for sin, 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 brought the burnt offering and offered it according to the prescribed manner. | 16Then he presented the burnt offering and sacrificed it in the prescribed way. |
| 17Then he brought the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar, besides the burnt sacrifice 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. |
| 18He also killed the bull and the ram as sacrifices of peace offerings, which were for the people. And Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled all around on 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. |
| 19and the fat from the bull and the ram—the fatty tail, what covers the entrails and the kidneys, and the fatty lobe attached to 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. |
| 20and they put the fat on the breasts. Then he burned the fat 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 as a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses had 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 his hand toward the people, blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and 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 tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then 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 fat on the altar. 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. |
