Leviticus
9
And when the eighth day was come, Moses called Aaron
and his sons, and the ancients of Israel, and said to
Aaron:
Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust,
both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.
And to the children of Israel thou shalt say: Take ye
a he goat for sin, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a
year old, and without blemish for a holocaust,
Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings: and immolate
them before the Lord, offering for the sacrifice of
every one of them flour tempered with oil; for to day
the Lord will appear to you.
They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded
before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the
multitude stood,
Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded:
do it, and his glory will appear to you.
And he said to Aaron: Approach to the altar, and offer
sacrifice for thy sin: offer the holocaust, and pray
for thyself and for the people: and when thou hast slain
the people's victim, pray for them, as the Lord hath
commanded.
And forthwith Aaron, approaching to the altar, immolated
the calf for his sin:
And his sons brought him the blood of it: and he dipped
his finger therein, and touched the horns of the altar,
and poured the rest at the foot thereof.
And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the caul of
the liver, which are for sin, he burnt upon the altar,
as the Lord had commanded Moses:
But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without
the camp.
He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons
brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round
about on the altar.
And the victim being cut into pieces, they brought to
him the head and all the members, all which he burnt
with fire upon the altar,
Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water.
Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the
he goat: and expiating the altar,
He offered the holocaust:
Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered
withal, and burning them upon the altar, besides the
ceremonies of the morning holocaust.
He immolated also the bullock and the ram, the peace
offerings of the people: and his sons brought him the
blood, which he poured upon the altar round about.
The fat also of the bullock, and the rump of the ram,
and the two little kidneys, with their fat, and the
caul of the liver,
They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt
upon the altar,
Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders,
elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.
And stretching forth his hands to the people, he blessed
them. And so the victims for sin, and the holocausts,
and the peace offerings being finished, he came down.
And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the
testimony, and afterwards came forth and blessed the
people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the
multitude:
And behold a fire, coming forth from the Lord, devoured
the holocaust, and the fat that was upon the altar:
which when the multitude saw, they praised the Lord,
falling on their faces.
