Leviticus 9:1-9

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

7 dixit et ad Aaron accede ad altare et immola pro peccato tuo offer holocaustum et deprecare pro te et pro populo cumque mactaveris hostiam populi ora pro eo sicut praecepit Dominus

8 statimque Aaron accedens ad altare immolavit vitulum pro peccato suo

9 cuius sanguinem obtulerunt ei filii sui in quo tinguens digitum tetigit cornua altaris et fudit residuum ad basim eius
