1And it came to pass on the eighth day , that Moses called Aaron and his sons , and the elders of Israel ; 2and he said unto Aaron, Take thee a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, without blemish , and offer them before Jehovah . 3And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak , saying , Take ye a he-goat for a sin-offering; and a calf and a lamb , both a year old , without blemish , for a burnt-offering; 4and an ox and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah ; and a meal-offering mingled with oil : for to-day Jehovah appeareth unto you . 5And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting : and all the congregation drew near and stood before Jehovah . 6And Moses said , This is the thing which Jehovah commanded that ye should do : and the glory of Jehovah shall appear unto you . 7And Moses said unto Aaron, Draw near unto the altar , and offer thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people ; and offer the oblation of the people , and make atonement for them ; as Jehovah commanded .
The Offerings and Their Significance
8So Aaron drew near unto the altar , and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself. 9And the sons of Aaron presented 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 base of the altar : 10but the fat , and the kidneys , and the caul from the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the altar ; as Jehovah commanded Moses . 11And the flesh and the skin he burnt with fire without the camp . 12And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron’s sons delivered unto him the blood , and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about . 13And they delivered the burnt-offering unto him , piece by piece , and the head : and he burnt them upon the altar . 14And he washed the inwards and the legs , and burnt them upon the burnt-offering on the altar . 15And he presented the people ’s oblation , and took the goat of the sin-offering which was for the people , and slew it , and offered it for sin , as the first . 16And he presented the burnt-offering, and offered it according to the ordinance . 17And he presented the meal-offering, and filled his hand therefrom, and burnt it upon the altar , besides the burnt-offering of the morning . 18He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which was for the people : and Aaron’s sons delivered unto him the blood , which he sprinkled upon the altar round about , 19and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covereth the inwards , and the kidneys , and the caul of the liver : 20and they put the fat upon the breasts , and he burnt the fat upon the altar : 21and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave-offering before Jehovah ; as Moses commanded .
The Appearance of God's Glory
22And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people , and blessed them ; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings. 23And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting , and came out , and blessed the people : and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto all the people . 24And there came forth fire from before Jehovah , and consumed upon the altar the burnt-offering and the fat : and when all the people saw it , they shouted , and fell on their faces .
