9
1 On the eighth day, Moses [Drawn out] called Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons, and the elders of Israel [God prevails]; 2 and he said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “Take a calf from the herd for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without defect, and offer them before Adonai. 3 You shall speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘Take a male goat for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without defect, for a burnt offering; 4 and a bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Adonai; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for today Adonai appears to you.’ ”
5 They brought what Moses [Drawn out] enjoined before the Tent of Meeting: and all the congregation came near and stood before Adonai. 6 Moses [Drawn out] said, “This is the thing which Adonai enjoined that you should do: and the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· shall appear to you.” 7 Moses [Drawn out] said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “Draw near to the altar, and offer your habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them; as Adonai enjoined.”
8 So Aaron [Light-bringer] came near to the altar, and killed the calf of the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, which was for himself. 9 The sons of Aaron [Light-bringer] 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: 10 but the fat, and the kidneys, and the cover from the liver of the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, he burned upon the altar; as Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out]. 11 The meat and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp. 12 He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons delivered the blood to him, and he sprinkled it around on the altar. 13 They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burned them upon the altar. 14 He washed the innards and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar. 15 He presented the people’s offering, and took the goat of the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin ·err (the standard goal)·, like the first. 16 He presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the judgement. (2) 17 He presented the meal offering, and filled his hand from there, and burned it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning. 18 He also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons delivered to him the blood, which he sprinkled around on the altar, 19 and the fat of the bull and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the innards, and the kidneys, and the cover of the liver: 20 and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar: 21 and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron [Light-bringer] waved for a wave offering before Adonai, as Moses [Drawn out] enjoined. 22 Aaron [Light-bringer] lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
23 Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] went into the Tent of Meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared to all the people. (3) 24 Fire came out from before Adonai, and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
