Leviticus 9:1-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel.

2. He said to Aaron, “Take a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and present them before the Lord.

3. And tell the Israelites: Take a male goat for a sin offering; a calf and a lamb, male yearlings without blemish, for a burnt offering;

4. an ox and a ram for a fellowship offering to sacrifice before the Lord; and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today the Lord is going to appear to you. ”

5. They brought what Moses had commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the whole community came forward and stood before the Lord.

6. Moses said, “This is what the Lord commanded you to do, that the glory of the Lord may appear to you.”

7. Then Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering; make atonement for yourself and the people. Sacrifice the people’s offering and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded.”

8. So Aaron approached the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself.

9. Aaron’s sons brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and applied it to the horns of the altar. He poured out the blood at the base of the altar.

10. He burned the fat, the kidneys, and the fatty lobe of the liver from the sin offering on the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
