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 young calf for a sin offering , and a ram for a burnt offering , without blemish , and offer them before the LORD . 3And 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 ; 4Also 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. 5And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation : and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD . 6And Moses said , This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do : and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you. 7And 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 .
The Offerings and Their Significance
8Aaron therefore went unto the altar , and slew the calf of the sin offering , which was for himself. 9And 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 : 10But 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 . 11And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp . 12And he slew the burnt offering ; and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood , which he sprinkled round about upon the altar . 13And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head : and he burnt them upon the altar . 14And he did wash the inwards and the legs , and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar . 15And 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 . 16And he brought the burnt offering , and offered it according to the manner . 17And he brought the meat offering , and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar , beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning . 18He 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 , 19And 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 : 20And they put the fat upon the breasts , and he burnt the fat upon the altar : 21And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD ; as Moses commanded .
The Appearance of God's Glory
22And 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 . 23And 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 . 24And 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 .
