Leviticus 9:1-6

1 facto autem octavo die vocavit Moses Aaron et filios eius ac maiores natu Israhel dixitque ad Aaron

2 tolle de armento vitulum pro peccato et arietem in holocaustum utrumque inmaculatos et offer illos coram Domino

3 et ad filios Israhel loqueris tollite hircum pro peccato et vitulum atque agnum anniculos et sine macula in holocaustum

4 bovem et arietem pro pacificis et immolate eos coram Domino in sacrificio singulorum similam oleo conspersam offerentes hodie enim Dominus apparebit vobis

5 tulerunt ergo cuncta quae iusserat Moses ad ostium tabernaculi ubi cum omnis staret multitudo

6 ait Moses iste est sermo quem praecepit Dominus facite et apparebit vobis gloria eius
