On the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders
of Israel, and he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a bull calf for
a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without
blemish, and offer them before the LORD. And say to the people of
Israel, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a
lamb, both a year old without blemish, for a burnt offering, and an
ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD, and
a grain offering mixed with oil, for today the LORD will appear to
you.’” And they brought what Moses commanded in front of the tent
of meeting, and all the congregation drew near and stood before the
LORD. And Moses said, “This is the thing that the LORD commanded
you to do, that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.” Then
Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar and offer your sin
offering and your burnt offering and make atonement for yourself
and for the people, and bring the offering of the people and make
atonement for them, as the LORD has commanded.”
So Aaron drew near to the altar and killed the calf of the sin
offering, which was for himself. And the sons of Aaron presented
the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it
on the horns of the altar and poured out the blood at the base of
the altar. But the fat and the kidneys and the long lobe of the
liver from the sin offering he burned on the altar, as the LORD
commanded Moses. The flesh and the skin he burned up with fire
outside the camp.
Then he killed the burnt offering, and Aaron's sons handed him
the blood, and he threw it against the sides of the altar. And they
handed the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head, and
he burned them on the altar. And he washed the entrails and the
legs and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.
Then he presented the people's offering and took the goat of the
sin offering that was for the people and killed it and offered it
as a sin offering, like the first one. And he presented the burnt
offering and offered it according to the rule. And he presented the
grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar,
besides the burnt offering of the morning.
Then he killed the ox and the ram, the 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. But the fat pieces
of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail and that which covers the
entrails and the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver—they put
the fat pieces on the breasts, and he burned the fat pieces on the
altar, but the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave
offering before the LORD, as Moses commanded.
Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed
them, and he came down from offering the sin offering and the burnt
offering and the peace offerings. And Moses and Aaron went into the
tent of meeting, and when they came out they blessed the people,
and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. And fire 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, they
shouted and fell on their faces.
