1. Eight days later Moses called together Aaron, his sons, and Israel's leaders.
2. Then he said to Aaron:Find a young bull and a ram that have nothing wrong with them. Offer the bull to the Lord as a sacrifice for sin and the ram as a sacrifice to please him.
3. Tell the people of Israel that they must offer sacrifices as well. They must offer a goat as a sacrifice for sin, and a bull and a ram as a sacrifice to please the Lord. The bull and the ram must be a year old and have nothing wrong with them.
4. Then the people must offer a bull and a ram as a sacrifice to ask the Lord's blessing and also a grain sacrifice mixed with oil. Do this, because the Lord will appear to you today.
5. After the animals and the grain had been brought to the front of the sacred tent, and the people were standing there in the presence of the Lord,
6. Moses said:The Lord has ordered you to do this, so that he may appear to you in all his glory.
7. Aaron, step up to the altar and offer the sacrifice to please the Lord, then offer the sacrifices for the forgiveness of your sins and for the sins of the people, just as the Lord has commanded.
8. Aaron stepped up to the altar and killed the bull that was to be the sacrifice for his sins.
