1. On the eighth day after the time of appointing, Moses called for Aaron and his sons. He also called for the elders of Israel.
2. He said to Aaron, “Take a bull calf and a male sheep. There must be nothing wrong with these animals. The calf will be a sin offering. And the male sheep will be a whole burnt offering. Offer these animals to the Lord.
3. Tell the people of Israel, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering. And take a calf and a lamb for a whole burnt offering. The calf and the lamb must each be one year old. There must be nothing wrong with these animals.
4. Take a bull and a male sheep for fellowship offerings. Take with these animals a grain offering mixed with oil. Offer these things to the Lord. This is because the Lord will appear to you today.’”
5. So all the people came to the front of the Meeting Tent. They brought the things Moses had commanded them to bring. And they stood before the Lord.
6. Moses said, “You have done what the Lord commanded. So you will see the Lord’s glory.”
7. Then Moses told Aaron, “Go to the altar. There offer sin offerings and whole burnt offerings. Do this to remove your sins and the people’s sins so you will belong to God. Offer the sacrifices for the people. And perform the acts to remove their sins for them so they will belong to the Lord. Do this as the Lord has commanded.”
8. So Aaron went to the altar. He killed the bull calf as a sin offering for himself.
9. Then his sons brought the blood to him. Aaron dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the corners of the altar. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.
10. Aaron took the fat, the kidneys and the best part of the liver from the sin offering. He burned these things on the altar. He did this the way the Lord had commanded Moses.
11. Aaron burned the meat and skin outside the camp.
12. Then Aaron killed the animal for the whole burnt offering. Aaron’s sons brought the blood to him. And he sprinkled it on all sides of 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. Aaron also washed the inner organs and the legs of the burnt offering. And he burned them on the altar.
