• Lev 9:1-9 : 1 On the eighth day, Moses called for Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel. 2 He said to Aaron, 'Take a young calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and present them before the LORD.' 3 And say to the Israelites, 'Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both a year old and without blemish, for a burnt offering.' 4 'Bring a bull and a ram for a peace offering to sacrifice before the LORD, along with a grain offering mixed with oil, for today the LORD will appear to you.' 5 So they brought what Moses commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting. Then the entire assembly came near and stood before the LORD. 6 Moses said, 'This is what the LORD has commanded you to do so that the glory of the LORD will appear to you.' 7 Moses then said to Aaron, 'Come to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, making atonement for yourself and for the people. Present the people’s offering and make atonement for them as the LORD has commanded.' 8 So Aaron came to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering that was for himself. 9 Aaron's sons brought the blood to him. He dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. 10 He burned the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering on the altar, as the LORD had commanded Moses. 11 But the flesh and the hide he burned with fire outside the camp. 12 Then Aaron slaughtered the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he dashed it against all sides of the altar. 13 They brought the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, including the head, and he burned them on the altar. 14 He washed the entrails and the legs and burned them on the altar along with the burnt offering. 15 Aaron presented the people's offering, took the goat for the sin offering that was for the people, slaughtered it, and offered it as a sin offering like the first one. 16 He presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the prescribed manner. 17 He presented the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning burnt offering. 18 Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of the peace offerings that were for the people. Aaron's sons brought him the blood, which he splashed around the altar. 19 They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver— 20 and they placed the fat portions on the breasts. Aaron then burned the fat portions on the altar. 21 Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses had commanded. 22 Then Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. After offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, he stepped down. 23 Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. 24 Fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.
