Leviticus 9:5-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

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.

15. Then Aaron brought the offering that was for the people. He took the goat of the people’s sin offering. He killed and offered the goat of the sin offering. He did this just as he had done the first sin offering.

16. Then Aaron brought the whole burnt offering and offered it. He did it as the Lord had commanded.
