1Then on the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and Israel’s elders, 2and he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself ⌞a bull calf⌟ as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, without defect, and present them ⌞before⌟ Yahweh. 3Then you must speak to the ⌞Israelites⌟, saying, ‘Take ⌞a he-goat⌟ as a sin offering and a bull calf and a male sheep, ⌞yearlings⌟ without defect, as a burnt offering, 4and an ox and a ram as fellowship offerings to sacrifice ⌞before⌟ Yahweh, and a grain offering mixed with oil, because today Yahweh will appear to you.” 5So they took what Moses had commanded to the ⌞front of⌟ the tent of assembly, and the whole community presented themselves, and they stood ⌞before⌟ Yahweh. 6Then Moses said, “This is the word that Yahweh commanded you to do ⌞so that⌟ the glory of Yahweh might appear to you.” 7Then Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and ⌞sacrifice⌟ your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. And ⌞sacrifice⌟ the people’s offering and make atonement for them, just as Yahweh has commanded.” 8Then Aaron approached the altar, and he slaughtered the bull calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 9Then Aaron’s sons presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and he put it on the altar’s horns, and he poured out the blood on the altar’s base. 10And the fat and the kidneys and the lobe ⌞from the sin offering’s liver⌟ he turned into smoke on the altar, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses, 11but the meat and the skin he burned ⌞with fire⌟ ⌞outside the camp⌟. 12Then he slaughtered the burnt offering, and Aaron’s sons brought the blood to him, and he sprinkled it on the altar all around; 13and they brought the burnt offering to him by its pieces, as well as the head, and he turned them into smoke on the altar; 14and he washed the inner parts and the lower leg bones, then he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar. 15Then he presented the people’s offering, and he took the goat of the sin offering, which was for the people, and he slaughtered it and offered it as a sin offering like the first one. 16Then he presented the burnt offering, and he ⌞sacrificed⌟ it according to the regulation. 17Then he presented the grain offering, and he filled his palm ⌞with some of⌟ it, and he turned it into smoke on the altar besides the morning’s burnt offering. 18Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the fellowship offerings that are for the people, and Aaron’s sons brought the blood to him, and he sprinkled it on the altar all around. 19And as for the fat portions from the ox and from the ram (the fat tail and the layer of fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver), 20they placed the fat portions on the breast sections, and he turned the fat portions into smoke on the altar. 21Then Aaron waved the breast sections and the right upper thigh as a wave offering ⌞before⌟ Yahweh, just as Moses had commanded. 22Then Aaron lifted his hand toward the people, and he blessed them, and he came down ⌞after⌟ ⌞sacrificing⌟ the sin offering and the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings. 23Then Moses and Aaron entered the tent of assembly. When they came out, they blessed the people, and Yahweh’s glory appeared to all the people. 24Then a fire went out ⌞from before⌟ Yahweh, and it consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And all the people saw it, so they shouted for joy, and they fell on their faces.
