The Lord Accepts Aaron's Offering

¹rOn the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel, ²and he said to Aaron, s“Take for yourself a bull calf for a sin offering and ta ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. ³And say to the people of Israel, u‘Take a male 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 the Lord, and va grain offering mixed with oil, for wtoday the Lord will appear to you.’” ⁵And they brought what Moses commanded in front of the tent of meeting, and all the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord. ⁶And Moses said, “This is the thing that the Lord commanded you to do, that the glory of the Lord may appear to you.” ⁷Then Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar and xoffer your sin offering and your burnt offering and ymake atonement for yourself and for the people, and bring the offering of the people and make atonement for them, as the Lord has commanded.”

⁸So Aaron drew near to the altar and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. ⁹zAnd the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and aput it on the horns of the altar and poured out the blood at the base of the altar. ¹⁰bBut the fat and the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver from the sin offering he burned on the altar, cas the Lord commanded Moses. ¹¹dThe flesh and the skin he burned up with fire outside the camp.

¹²Then he killed the burnt offering, and Aaron's sons handed him the blood, and he ethrew it against the sides of the altar. ¹³fAnd they handed the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head, and he burned them on the altar. ¹⁴gAnd he washed the entrails and the legs and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.

¹⁵hThen he presented the people's offering and took the goat of the sin offering that was for the people and killed it and ioffered it as a sin offering, jlike the first one. ¹⁶And he presented the burnt offering and offered it kaccording to the lrule. ¹⁷And he presented the mgrain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar, nbesides the burnt offering of the morning.

¹⁸Then he killed the ox and the ram, othe sacrifice of peace offerings for the people. And Aaron's sons handed him the blood, and he threw it against the sides of the altar. ¹⁹But the fat pieces of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail and that which covers pthe entrails and the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver— ²⁰they put the fat pieces on the breasts, qand he burned the fat pieces on the altar, ²¹but the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved rfor a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses commanded.

²²Then Aaron slifted up his hands toward the people and tblessed 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 when they came out they blessed the people, and uthe glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. ²⁴And vfire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces of fat on the altar, and when all the people saw it, wthey shouted and xfell on their faces.
