Leviticus 9:1-6

Listen to Leviticus 9:1-6
1 After the ordination ceremony, on the eighth day, Moses called together Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel.
2 He said to Aaron, “Take a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without defects, and present them to the LORD .
3 Then tell the Israelites, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering, and take a calf and a lamb, both a year old and without defects, for a burnt offering.
4 Also take a bull and a ram for a peace offering and flour moistened with olive oil for a grain offering. Present all these offerings to the LORD because the LORD will appear to you today.’”
5 So the people presented all these things at the entrance of the Tabernacle, just as Moses had commanded. Then the whole community came forward and stood before the LORD .
6 And Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded you to do so that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.”
