Leviticus, 9

1. And it came to pass on the eighth day, [that] Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

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

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

2. He said to Aaron, "Take a calf to offer a sacrifice for sin, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without any defect, and bring them before Yahweh.

3. And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye 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;

3. Then say to the people of Israel, 'Take a goat to be offered as a sacrifice for sin, and as burnt offering a calf and a lamb both one year old and without any defect,

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

4. and for peace offering an ox and a ram to be slaughtered before Yahweh; and finally a grain offering mixed with oil. For Yahweh will appear to you today."

5. And they brought [that] which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.

5. They brought what Moses had commanded in front of the Tent of Meeting; then the whole community gathered and stood before Yahweh.

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

6. Moses said, "This is what Yahweh has commanded to be done, so that his glory may appear to you."

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

7. Moses then said to Aaron, "Go to the altar and offer your sacrifice for sin and your burnt offering to take away your sins. Then present the people's offering to take away their sins as Yahweh has commanded."

8. Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which [was] for himself.

8. Aaron went to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sacrifice for his own sin.

9. And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:

9. Then the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; he dipped his finger in it and put some on the corners of the altar, and then poured out the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar.

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

10. The fat of the sacrifice for sin and the kidneys and the best part of the liver, he burned on the altar, as Yahweh had commanded Moses;

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

11. the flesh and the skin he burned outside the camp.

12. And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.

12. Next Aaron slaughtered the animal which was for his own burnt offering; his sons handed him the blood and he poured it on the sides of the altar.

13. And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt [them] upon the altar.

13. Then they handed him the quartered animal and its head too, and he burned these on the altar.

14. And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt [them] upon the burnt offering on the altar.

14. He washed the internal organs and legs and burned them on the altar in addition to the burnt offering.

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, as the first.

15. He then presented the people's offering. He took the goat for the people's sacrifice for sin, killed it and offered it as a sacrifice for sin in the same way as the first.

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

16. Then he had the animal for the burnt offering brought forward and offered it according to the regulations.

17. And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt [it] upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.

17. Next he had the grain offering brought forward, took a handful of it and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning burnt offering.

18. He slew also the bullock and the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings, which [was] for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,

18. Finally, he slaughtered the ox and the ram as a peace offering for the people. Aaron's sons handed him the blood and he poured it out on the sides of the altar.

19. And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul [above] the liver:

19. The fat of the ox and of the ram - the tail, the fatty covering, the kidneys, the best part of the liver -

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

20. all of this he laid on the breasts and burned it all on the altar.

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

21. With the breasts and the right hind leg Aaron made the gesture of offering by waving them as Yahweh had commanded.

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

22. Then Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. Having thus performed the sacrifice for sin, the burnt offering and the peace offering,

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 unto all the people.

23. he came down and entered the Tent of Meeting with Moses. Then they came out together to bless the people and the Glory of Yahweh appeared to the whole people -

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

24. a flame leaped forth from before Yahweh and consumed the burnt offering and the fat that was on the altar. At this sight the people shouted for joy and fell on their faces.
