1 ¶ And it came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel,

On the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons and the leaders of Israel.

2 a nd he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf as the sin and a ram as a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.

He said to Aaron, “Take a bull calf for a sin gift and a ram for a burnt gift, both of them perfect. And give them to the Lord.

3 A nd unto the sons of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a he goat as the sin and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;

Then say to the people of Israel, ‘Take a male goat for a sin gift, and a calf and a lamb, both a year old and perfect, for a burnt gift,

4 l ikewise a bullock and a ram for a sacrifice of peace, to kill before the LORD; and a present mingled with oil; for today the LORD will appear unto you.

and a bull and a ram for peace gifts. Give them to the Lord with a grain gift mixed with oil. For today the Lord will show Himself to you.’”

5 A nd they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the testimony, and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.

So they brought to the front of the meeting tent what Moses had told them. All the people came near and stood before the Lord.

6 T hen Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do, and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.

Moses said, “This is what the Lord has told you to do. And the shining-greatness of the Lord will be shown to you.”

7 A nd Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin, and thy burnt offering, and make reconciliation for thyself and for the people; and offer the offering of the people and make reconciliation for them, as the LORD commanded.

Then Moses said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and give your sin gift and burnt gift to pay for the sins of yourself and for the people. Then give the gift for the people, to pay for their sins, just as the Lord has said.”

8 ¶ Then Aaron went unto the altar and slew the calf of his own sin.

So Aaron came to the altar and killed the calf of the sin gift, which was for himself.

9 A nd 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 remaining blood at the bottom of the altar;

The sons of Aaron gave the blood to him. He put his finger in the blood and put some on the horns of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

10 a nd the fat and the kidneys and the caul above the liver of the sin, he incensed upon the altar, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

But he burned on the altar the fat and the kidneys and the part that is on the liver from the sin gift, just as the Lord had told Moses.

11 A nd the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire outside the camp.

He burned the flesh and the skin away from the tents.

12 L ikewise he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.

Then he killed the burnt gift. Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him and he put it around on the altar.

13 A fter that they presented the burnt offering unto him, by its pieces, and the head; and he incensed them upon the altar.

They gave the burnt gift to him in pieces, with the head. And he burned them on the altar.

14 T hen he washed the intestines and the legs and burnt them with the burnt offering on the altar.

He washed the inside parts and legs and burned them on the altar with the burnt gift.

15 H e also offered the people’s offering and took the he goat, which was the sin of the people, and slew it and offered it for their sin, as the first.

Then he gave the people’s gift. He took the goat of the sin gift which was for the people. And he killed it and gave it for sin, like the first sin gift.

16 A nd he brought the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.

He gave the burnt gift. He gave it just the way the Law said.

17 L ikewise he offered the present and took a handful thereof and incensed it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.

Next he gave the grain gift. He filled his hand with some of the grain and burned it on the altar beside the burnt gift of the morning.

18 H e also slew the bullock and the ram in sacrifice of peace, which was for the people; and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood (which he sprinkled upon the altar round about)

Then he killed the bull and the ram, the peace gifts which were for the people. Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him and he put it around on the altar.

19 a nd the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the tail and that which covers the inwards and the kidneys and the caul above the liver;

The fat parts from the bull and ram, the fat tail, the fat around the inside parts, the kidneys and the part that is on the liver,

21 B ut the breasts, with the right shoulder, Aaron waved, waving them before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

But Aaron gave the breasts and the right thigh as a wave gift before the Lord, just as Moses had said.

22 A fter that, Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them and came down from offering the sin and the burnt offering and the peace.

Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and prayed that good would come to them. After giving the sin gift, the burnt gift and the peace gifts, he came down.

23 ¶ And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the testimony and came out and blessed the people; and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.

Moses and Aaron went into the meeting tent. When they came out and prayed that good would come to the people, the shining-greatness of the Lord was shown to all the people.

24 A nd 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 praised and fell on their faces.

Then fire came from the Lord and burned up the burnt gift and the fat parts on the altar. When the people saw it, they cried out and bowed down with their faces to the ground.
