| 1After the ordination ceremony, on the eighth day, Moses called together Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. | 1On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. |
| 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. | 2He said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and present them before the LORD. |
| 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. | 3Then speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering, a calf and a lamb—both a year old and without blemish—for a burnt offering, |
| 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.’” | 4an ox and a ram for a peace offering to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today the LORD will appear to you.’ ” |
| 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. | 5So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and the whole congregation drew near and stood before the LORD. |
| 6And Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded you to do so 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, “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.” | 7Then Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering to make atonement for yourself and for the people. And sacrifice the people’s offering to make atonement for them, as the LORD has commanded.” |
| 8So Aaron went to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself. | 8So Aaron approached the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself. |
| 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. | 9The sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and applied it to the horns of the altar. And he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. |
| 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. | 10On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering, as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
| 11The meat and the hide, however, he burned outside the camp. | 11But he burned up the flesh and the hide outside the camp. |
| 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. | 12Then Aaron slaughtered the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on all sides of the altar. |
| 13Then they handed him each piece of the burnt offering, including the head, and he burned them on the altar. | 13They brought him the burnt offering piece by piece, including the head, and he burned them 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. | 14He washed the entrails and the legs and burned them atop the burnt offering on the altar. |
| 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. | 15Aaron then presented the people’s offering. He took the male goat for the people’s sin offering, slaughtered it, and offered it for sin like the first one. |
| 16Then he presented the burnt offering and sacrificed it in the prescribed way. | 16He presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance. |
| 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. | 17Next he presented the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning’s burnt offering. |
| 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. | 18Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram as the people’s peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on all sides of the altar. |
| 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. | 19They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver— |
| 20He placed these fat portions on top of the breasts of these animals and burned them on the altar. | 20and placed these on the breasts. Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar, |
| 21Aaron then lifted up the breasts and right thighs as a special offering to the LORD, just as Moses had commanded. | 21but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses had commanded. |
| 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. | 22Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them. And having made the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down. |
| 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. | 23Moses and Aaron then entered the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. |
| 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. | 24Fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown. |
