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

2He said to Aaron, "Take a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without any flaw, and offer them before the LORD."

3"And say to the children of Israel, 'Take a young goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both a year old and without any flaw, for a burnt offering;"

4"also a bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today the LORD will appear to you.'"

5So they brought what Moses commanded to the front of the tent of meeting. All the people came near and stood before the LORD.

6Moses said, "This is the thing the LORD commanded you to do, and the glory of the LORD will appear to you."

7Then Moses said to Aaron, "Go to the altar. Offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. Then offer the people's offering and make atonement for them, as the LORD commanded."

8So Aaron went to the altar and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

9The sons of Aaron brought the blood to him. He dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar.

10But the fat, the kidneys, and the covering above the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar, as the LORD commanded Moses.

11The flesh and the hide he burned with fire outside the camp.

12He killed the burnt offering, and Aaron's sons handed him the blood, and he sprinkled it all around on the altar.

13They handed him the burnt offering, piece by piece, and the head, and he burned them on the altar.

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

15Then he brought the people's offering. He took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, as he had done with the first one.

16He brought the burnt offering and offered it in the way that was commanded.

17He brought the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar, besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning.

18He also killed the bull and the ram as a sacrifice of peace offerings for the people. Aaron's sons handed him the blood, and he sprinkled it all around on the altar.

19They also brought the fat of the bull and of the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers the inner parts, the kidneys, and the covering above the liver.

20They put the fat on the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar.

21Aaron waved the breasts and the right shoulder before the LORD as a wave offering, as Moses commanded.

22Then Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people and blessed them. He came down from offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.

23Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

24Fire came out from before the LORD and burned up the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.
