Leviticus 9:4-16 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

4. Take a bull and a ram for fellowship offerings. Take these animals and a grain offering mixed with oil for an offering to the Lord. Do this because the Lord will appear to you today.’”

5. So all the people came to the Meeting Tent. They all brought the things that Moses had commanded. All the people stood before the Lord.

6. Moses said, “You must do what the Lord commanded. Then the Glory of the Lord will appear to you.”

7. Then Moses told Aaron: “Go do what the Lord commanded. Go to the altar and offer sin offerings and burnt offerings. Do what will make you and the people pure. Take the people’s sacrifices and make them pure.”

8. So Aaron went to the altar. He killed the bull for the sin offering. This sin offering was for himself.

9. Then the sons of Aaron brought the blood to Aaron. Aaron put his finger in the blood and put it on the corners of the altar. Then he poured out the blood at the base of the altar.

10. He took the fat, the kidneys, and the fat part of the liver from the sin offering. He burned them on the altar just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

11. Then Aaron burned the meat and skin on a fire outside the camp.

12. Next, Aaron killed the animal for the burnt offering. His sons brought the blood to him, and he sprinkled the blood around on the altar.

13. Aaron’s sons gave the pieces and head of the burnt offering to Aaron, and he burned them on the altar.

14. He also washed the inner parts and the legs of the burnt offering and burned them on the altar.

15. Then Aaron brought the people’s offering. He killed the goat of the sin offering that was for the people. He offered the goat for sin, like the earlier sin offering.

16. He brought the burnt offering and offered it, just as the Lord had commanded.
