Chapter 9
1On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel.
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 AO.
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,
4an ox and a ram for a peace offering and a grain offering mixed with oil to sacrifice before AO. For today AO will appear to you.’”
5So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting and the whole congregation drew near and stood before AO.
6And Moses said, “This is what AO has commanded you to do so that the glory of AO may appear to you.”
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 AO has commanded.”
8So Aaron approached the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself.
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 the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar.
10On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering as AO had commanded Moses.
11But the flesh and the hide he burned up outside the camp.
12Then [Aaron] slaughtered the burnt offering. [His] sons brought him the blood and he sprinkled it on all sides of the altar.
13They brought him the burnt offering piece by piece including the head and he burned them on the altar.
14He washed the entrails and the legs and burned [them] atop the burnt offering on the altar.
15Aaron then presented the people’s offering. He took the male goat for the people’s sin offering and slaughtered it and offered it for sin like the first one.
16He presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.
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 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.
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—
20and placed these on the breasts. Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar
21but the breasts and the right thigh [he] waved as a wave offering before AO as Moses had commanded.
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.
23Moses and Aaron then entered the Tent of Meeting. When they came out they blessed the people and the glory of AO appeared to all the people.
24Fire came out from the presence of AO 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.
