Aaron’s First Offerings

¹On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel.

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

²He said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and present them before the LORD.

²and he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a calf, a son of the herd, for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, unblemished, and bring them near before the face of YHWH.

³Then speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering, a calf and a lamb—both a year old and without blemish—for a burnt offering,

³And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘Take a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb—sons of a year, unblemished—for a burnt offering,

⁴an ox^a and a ram for a peace offering to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today the LORD will appear to you.’”

⁴and a bull and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice before the face of YHWH, and a grain offering mixed with the oil. For today YHWH will appear to you.’”

⁵So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and the whole congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.

⁵And they brought what Moses had commanded to the face of the Tent of Meeting, and all the congregation drew near and stood before the face of YHWH.

⁶And Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.”

⁶And Moses said, “This is the thing that YHWH has commanded you to do, and the glory of YHWH will appear to you.”

⁷Then Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering to make atonement for yourself and for the people. And sacrifice the people’s offering to make atonement for them, as the LORD has commanded.”

⁷And Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar and do your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement on your behalf and on behalf of the people. And do the offering of the people and make atonement on their behalf, as YHWH commanded.”

⁸So Aaron approached the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself.

⁸And Aaron drew near to the altar, and he slaughtered the calf of the sin offering that was for himself.

⁹The sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and applied it to the horns of the altar. And he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

⁹And the sons of Aaron brought near the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and he put it on the horns of the altar, and he poured out the blood at the base of the altar.

¹⁰On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

¹⁰And the fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering he burned on the altar, as YHWH had commanded Moses.

¹¹But he burned up the flesh and the hide outside the camp.

¹¹And the flesh and the skin he burned with the fire outside of the camp.

¹²Then Aaron slaughtered the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it on all sides of the altar.

¹²And he slaughtered the burnt offering. And the sons of Aaron presented to him the blood, and he sprinkled it on the altar all around.

¹³They brought him the burnt offering piece by piece, including the head, and he burned them on the altar.

¹³And they presented the burnt offering to him by its pieces and the head, and he burned them on the altar.

¹⁴He washed the entrails and the legs and burned them atop the burnt offering on the altar.

¹⁴And he washed the entrails and the legs, and he burned them on the burnt offering on the altar.

¹⁵Aaron then presented the people’s offering. He took the male goat for the people’s sin offering, slaughtered it, and offered it for sin like the first one.

¹⁵And he brought near the offering of the people, and he took the goat of the sin offering that was for the people, and he slaughtered it, and he cleansed from sin, like the first one.

¹⁶He presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.

¹⁶And he brought near the burnt offering, and he did it according to the ordinance.

¹⁷Next he presented the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning’s burnt offering.

¹⁷And he brought near the grain offering, and he filled his palm from it, and he burned it on the altar in addition to the burnt offering of the morning.

¹⁸Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram as the people’s peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it on all sides of the altar.

¹⁸And he slaughtered the bull and the ram as the sacrifice of the peace offerings that were for the people, and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he sprinkled it on the altar all around.

¹⁹They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver—

¹⁹And the fat from the bull and the ram, the fat tail, and the covering, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver,

²⁰and placed these on the breasts. Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar,

²⁰and they put the fat on the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar.

²¹but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses had commanded.

²¹And the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved as a wave offering before the face of YHWH, as Moses had commanded.

²²Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them. And having made the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down.

²²And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and he blessed them, and he came down from doing the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.

²³Moses and Aaron then entered the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

²³And Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and they came out, and they blessed the people, and the glory of YHWH appeared to all the people.

²⁴Fire 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.

²⁴And fire came out from before the face of YHWH, and it consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar, and all the people saw, and they shouted, and they fell on their faces.
