# Leviticus 9

*Hie first offerings of Aaron Fire cometh from thf, Lord.*

**1** And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
**2** And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.
**3** And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering.
**4** Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord; and a meat offering mingled with oil; for to-day the Lord will appear unto you.
**5** And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation; and all the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.
**6** And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commanded that ye should do; and the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you.
**7** And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the Lord commanded.
**8** Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
**9** And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar;
**10** But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses.
**11** And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
**12** And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
**13** And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head; and he burnt them upon the altar.
**14** And he did wash the inwards 'and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
**15** And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
**16** And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
**17** And he brought the meat offering, and took a handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
**18** He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
**19** And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver;
**20** And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar;
**21** And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord; as Moses commanded.
**22** And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them; and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
**23** And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people; and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the people.
**24** And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat; which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. LEVITICUS.
