THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS

 

Leviticus Chapter 9

1 ¶ On the eighth day, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

2 And he said to Aaron, Take a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.

3 And to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, Take a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;

4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a food offering mingled with oil: for today the LORD will appear to you.

5 And they brought what Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.

6 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that you should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear to you.

7 And Moses said to Aaron, Go to the altar, and offer your sin offering, and your burnt offering, and make an atonement for yourself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.

8 ¶ Aaron therefore went to the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:

10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burned on the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.

11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.

12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled round about on the altar.

13 And they presented the burnt offering to him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burned them on the altar.

14 And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.

15 And he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, like the first.

16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance.

17 And he brought the food offering, and took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar, besides the burned sacrifice of the morning.

18 He also slew the bullock and the ram as a peace offering, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar round about,

19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covers the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:

20 And they put the fat on the breasts, and he burnt the fat on the altar:

21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.

22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and he came down after offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and peace offerings.

23 ¶ And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

24 And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed on the altar the burnt offering and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
