1 After the ordination ceremony, on the eighth day, Moses called together Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel.
1
On the eighth day, Moses called in Aaron and his sons and the leaders 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 .
2
He spoke to Aaron: "Take a bull-calf for your Absolution-Offering and a ram for your Whole-Burnt-Offering, both without defect, and offer them to God.
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.
3
"Then tell the People of Israel, Take a male goat for an Absolution-Offering and a calf and a lamb, both yearlings without defect, for a Whole-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.’”
4
and a bull and a ram for a Peace-Offering, to be sacrificed before God with a Grain-Offering mixed with oil, because God 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 .
5
They brought the things that Moses had ordered to the Tent of Meeting. The whole congregation came near and stood before God.
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.”
6
Moses said, "This is what God commanded you to do so that the Shining Glory of God will appear to you."
7 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering to purify yourself and the people. Then present the offerings of the people to purify them, making them right with the LORD, just as he has commanded.”
7
Moses instructed Aaron, "Approach the Altar and sacrifice your Absolution-Offering and your Whole-Burnt-Offering. Make atonement for yourself and for the people. Sacrifice the offering that is for the people and make atonement for them, just as God commanded."
8 So Aaron went to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself.
8
Aaron approached the Altar and slaughtered the calf as an Absolution-Offering for himself.
9 His sons brought him the blood, and he dipped his finger in it and put it on the horns of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
9
Aaron's sons brought the blood to him. He dipped his finger in the blood and smeared some of it on the horns of the Altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the Altar.
10 Then he burned on the altar the fat, the kidneys, and the long lobe of the liver from the sin offering, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
10
He burned the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the Absolution-Offering on the Altar, just as God had commanded Moses.
11 The meat and the hide, however, he burned outside the camp.
11
He burned the meat and the skin outside the camp.
12 Next Aaron slaughtered the animal for the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it against all sides of the altar.
12
Then he slaughtered the Whole-Burnt-Offering. Aaron's sons handed him the blood and he threw it against each side of the Altar.
13 Then they handed him each piece of the burnt offering, including the head, and he burned them on the altar.
13
They handed him the pieces and the head and he burned these on the Altar.
14 Then he washed the internal organs and the legs and burned them on the altar along with the rest of the burnt offering.
14
He washed the entrails and the legs and burned them on top of the Whole-Burnt-Offering on the Altar.
15 Next Aaron presented the offerings of the people. He slaughtered the people’s goat and presented it as an offering for their sin, just as he had first done with the offering for his own sin.
15
Next Aaron presented the offerings of the people. He took the male goat, the Absolution-Offering for the people, slaughtered it, and offered it as an Absolution-Offering just as he did with the first offering.
16 Then he presented the burnt offering and sacrificed it in the prescribed way.
16
He presented the Whole-Burnt-Offering following the same procedures.
17 He also presented the grain offering, burning a handful of the flour mixture on the altar, in addition to the regular burnt offering for the morning.
17
He presented the Grain-Offering by taking a handful of it and burning it on the Altar along with the morning Whole-Burnt-Offering.
18 Then Aaron slaughtered the bull and the ram for the people’s peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it against all sides of the altar.
18
He slaughtered the bull and the ram, the people's Peace-Offerings. Aaron's sons handed him the blood and he threw it against each side of the Altar.
19 Then he took the fat of the bull and the ram—the fat of the broad tail and from around the internal organs—along with the kidneys and the long lobes of the livers.
19
The fat pieces from the bull and the ram - the fat tail and the fat that covers the kidney and the lobe of the liver -
20 He placed these fat portions on top of the breasts of these animals and burned them on the altar.
20
they laid on the breasts and Aaron burned it on the Altar.
21 Aaron then lifted up the breasts and right thighs as a special offering to the LORD, just as Moses had commanded.
21
Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh before God as a Wave-Offering, just as God commanded.
22 After that, Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. Then, after presenting the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down from the altar.
22
Aaron lifted his hands over the people and blessed them. Having completed the rituals of the Absolution-Offering, the Whole-Burnt-Offering, and the Peace-Offering, he came down from the Altar.
23 Then Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle, and when they came back out, they blessed the people again, and the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole community.
23
Moses and Aaron entered the Tent of Meeting. When they came out they blessed the people and the Glory of God appeared to all the people.
24 Fire blazed forth from the LORD ’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground.
24
Fire blazed out from God and consumed the Whole-Burnt-Offering and the fat pieces on the Altar. When all the people saw it happen they cheered loudly and then fell down, bowing in reverence.
