Leviticus 9
1599 Geneva Bible
9 8 The first offerings of Aaron. 12 Aaron blesseth the people. 23 The glory of the Lord is showed. 24 The fire cometh from the Lord.
1 And in the [a]eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the Elders of Israel:
2 (A)Then he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a [b]sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and bring them before the Lord.
3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye an he goat for a sin offering, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, without blemish for a burnt offering:
4 Also a bullock, and a ram for peace offerings, to offer before the Lord, and a meat offering mingled with oil: for today the Lord will appear unto you.
5 ¶ Then they brought that which Moses commanded before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the assembly drew near, and stood before the [c]Lord.
6 (For Moses had said, This is the thing, which the Lord commanded that ye should do, and the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you.)
7 Then Moses said unto Aaron, Draw near to the Altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for [d]thee and for the people: offer also the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them, as the Lord hath commanded.
8 ¶ Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
9 And 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 the rest of the blood at the foot of the Altar.
10 But the fat and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver of the sin offering, he [e]burnt unto the Altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
11 The flesh also and the hide he burnt with fire without the host.
12 After, he slew the burnt offering, and Aaron’s sons brought unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about the Altar.
13 Also they brought the burnt offering unto him with the pieces thereof, and the head, and he burnt them upon the Altar.
14 Likewise he did wash the inwards and the legs, and [f]burnt them upon the burnt offering on the Altar.
15 ¶ Then he offered the people’s offering and took a goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it: and offered it for sin, as the first:
16 So he offered the burnt offering, and prepared it, according to the manner.
17 He presented also the meat offering, and filled his hand thereof, and (B)beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning he burnt this upon the altar.
18 He slew also the bullock, and the ram for the peace offerings, that was for the people, and Aaron’s sons brought unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the Altar round about.
19 With the fat of the bullock, and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver.
20 So they laid the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the Altar.
21 But the [g]breasts and the right shoulder Aaron shook to and fro before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 So Aaron lift up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and [h]came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
23 After, Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and came out, and [i]blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
24 (C)And there came a fire out from the Lord, and consumed upon the Altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they [j]gave thanks, and fell on their faces.

The Priests Begin Their Ministry
9 On the eighth day(A) Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders(B) of Israel. 2 He said to Aaron, “Take a bull calf for your sin offering[a] and a ram for your burnt offering, both without defect, and present them before the Lord. 3 Then say to the Israelites: ‘Take a male goat(C) for a sin offering,(D) a calf(E) and a lamb(F)—both a year old and without defect—for a burnt offering, 4 and an ox[b](G) and a ram for a fellowship offering(H) to sacrifice before the Lord, together with a grain offering mixed with olive oil. For today the Lord will appear to you.(I)’”
5 They took the things Moses commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the entire assembly came near and stood before the Lord. 6 Then Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord(J) may appear to you.”
7 Moses said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering and make atonement for yourself and the people;(K) sacrifice the offering that is for the people and make atonement for them, as the Lord has commanded.(L)”
8 So Aaron came to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering(M) for himself. 9 His sons brought the blood to him,(N) and he dipped his finger into the blood and put it on the horns of the altar; the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar.(O) 10 On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver from the sin offering, as the Lord commanded Moses; 11 the flesh and the hide(P) he burned up outside the camp.(Q)
12 Then he slaughtered the burnt offering.(R) His sons handed him the blood,(S) and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 13 They handed him the burnt offering piece by piece, including the head, and he burned them on the altar.(T) 14 He washed the internal organs and the legs and burned them on top of the burnt offering on the altar.(U)
15 Aaron then brought the offering that was for the people.(V) He took the goat for the people’s sin offering and slaughtered it and offered it for a sin offering as he did with the first one.
16 He brought the burnt offering and offered it in the prescribed way.(W) 17 He also brought the grain offering, took a handful of it and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning’s burnt offering.(X)
18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as the fellowship offering for the people.(Y) His sons handed him the blood, and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 19 But the fat portions of the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the layer of fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver— 20 these they laid on the breasts, and then Aaron burned the fat on the altar. 21 Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh before the Lord as a wave offering,(Z) as Moses commanded.
22 Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them.(AA) And having sacrificed the sin offering, the burnt offering and the fellowship offering, he stepped down.
23 Moses and Aaron then went into the tent of meeting.(AB) When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the Lord(AC) appeared to all the people. 24 Fire(AD) came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.(AE)
