1. 1On the 8th day, Moses called Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel together.
2. 2He told Aaron, "Take a young calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering — both without any defect — and present them before the LORD."
3. 3Then tell the children of Israel: 'Take a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year and without blemish, for a burnt offering.'
4. 4Also bring a bull and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice before the LORD, along with a grain offering mixed with oil. Do this because today the LORD will appear to you.'"
5. 5The people brought everything Moses had commanded to the front of the Tabernacle. The entire congregation gathered and stood before the LORD.
6. 6Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded you to do, and the glory of the LORD will appear to you."
7. 7Then Moses told Aaron, "Go to the altar and present your sin offering and your burnt offering to make atonement for yourself and for the people. Then present the people's offering and make atonement for them, just as the LORD commanded."
8. 8So Aaron went to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself.
9. 9His sons brought him the blood. He dipped his finger in it, applied it to the horns of the altar, and poured the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
10. 10He burned the fat, the kidneys, and the covering of the liver from the sin offering on the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
11. 11The meat and the hide he burned with fire outside the camp.
12. 12Next he slaughtered the burnt offering. Aaron's sons handed him the blood, and he sprinkled it all around the altar.
13. 13They passed him the burnt offering piece by piece, along with the head, and he burned them on the altar.
14. 14He washed the internal organs and the legs, then burned them on top of the burnt offering on the altar.
15. 15Then he brought forward the people's offering. He took the goat for the people's sin offering, slaughtered it, and offered it for sin the same way he had done with the first one.
16. 16He presented the burnt offering and sacrificed it according to the proper procedure.
17. 17He presented the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar — in addition to the morning's burnt offering.
18. 18He also slaughtered the bull and the ram as peace offerings for the people. Aaron's sons handed him the blood, and he sprinkled it all around the altar.
19. 19They also brought the fat portions from the bull and the ram — the fat tail, the fat covering the internal organs, the kidneys, and the covering of the liver.
20. 20They placed the fat portions on top of the breast pieces, and Aaron burned the fat on the altar.
21. 21Aaron waved the breasts and the right shoulder before the LORD as a wave offering, as Moses commanded.
22. 22Then Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. After that, he stepped down from the altar, having finished the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
23. 23Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle together. When they came back out, they blessed the people — and the glory of the LORD appeared to everyone.
24. 24Fire blazed out from the LORD's presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown on the ground.
