1. On the eighth day, Moses called for Aaron, Aaron’s sons, and Israel’s elders.
2. He said to Aaron, "Take a young bull from the herd as a purification offering and a ram as an entirely burned offering, both flawless animals, and bring them before the Lord.
3. Then tell the Israelites, ‘Take a male goat as a purification offering; a young bull and a sheep—both one-year-old flawless animals—as an entirely burned offering;
4. an ox and a ram as a well-being sacrifice before the Lord; and a grain offering mixed with oil, because today the Lord will appear to you.’"
5. They brought what Moses had commanded to the front of the meeting tent. Then the whole community came forward and stood before the Lord.
6. Moses said, "The Lord has ordered you to do this so that the Lord’s glorious presence will appear to you."
7. Moses said to Aaron, "Come up to the altar and perform your purification offering and your entirely burned offering, making reconciliation for yourself and the people. Then perform the people’s offering in order to make reconciliation for them, just as the Lord commanded."
8. Aaron went to the altar and slaughtered the young bull for his purification offering.
9. Then Aaron’s sons presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger into the blood and put it on the altar’s horns. He poured the rest of the blood out at the altar’s base.
10. He completely burned on the altar the fat, kidneys, and lobe of the liver from the purification offering, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
