亞倫獻祭

第八天,摩西召來亞倫父子們和以色列的眾長老。 他對亞倫說:「你要在耶和華面前獻上一頭公牛犢作贖罪祭、一隻公綿羊作燔祭,這些祭牲都要毫無殘疾。 然後,你要告訴以色列人,『你們要取一隻公山羊作贖罪祭、毫無殘疾的一歲牛犢和羊羔各一隻作燔祭、 公牛和公綿羊各一隻作平安祭,連同調油的素祭一起獻給耶和華,因為今天耶和華要向你們顯現。』」 於是,以色列人遵照摩西的吩咐,把祭物帶到會幕前。全體會眾都聚集到那裡,站在耶和華面前。 摩西對他們說:「耶和華吩咐你們這樣做,是為了向你們顯出祂的榮耀。」 隨後,摩西對亞倫說:「你要到壇前來,獻上你的贖罪祭和燔祭,為自己和民眾贖罪。也要按照耶和華的吩咐,為百姓獻上他們的祭物,為他們贖罪。」

於是,亞倫走到壇前,宰殺為他作贖罪祭的牛犢。 他兒子們把牛犢的血遞給他,他用手指蘸血抹在壇角上,將剩下的血倒在壇腳旁。 10 他照耶和華對摩西的吩咐,在壇上焚燒牛犢的脂肪、腎臟和肝葉, 11 把皮和肉帶到營外焚燒。

12 亞倫宰了燔祭祭牲,他兒子們把祭牲的血遞給他灑在祭壇四周。 13 他們將祭牲切成塊,連頭顱一起交給亞倫獻在壇上焚燒。 14 亞倫洗淨祭牲的內臟和腿,放在祭壇的燔祭上焚燒。

15 隨後,亞倫為民眾獻祭。他牽來那隻為民眾作贖罪祭的公山羊,宰殺後,像剛才為自己獻贖罪祭一樣為他們獻上贖罪祭。 16 他又牽來燔祭祭牲,依照條例獻上燔祭。 17 除了早晨的燔祭,亞倫又取來素祭,從中拿了一把獻在壇上焚燒。 18 然後,他宰了公牛和公綿羊,為民眾獻平安祭。他兒子們把祭牲的血遞給他,他把血灑在祭壇四周。 19 他們把公牛和公綿羊的脂肪,即肥尾巴、遮蓋內臟的脂肪、腎臟和肝葉, 20 放在祭牲的胸上,然後亞倫把那些脂肪放在壇上焚燒, 21 將胸肉和右腿肉作為搖祭在耶和華面前搖一搖,都遵照摩西的吩咐。

22 亞倫獻完贖罪祭、燔祭和平安祭,舉手為民眾祝福後,走下祭壇。 23 之後,摩西和亞倫走進會幕,又出來為民眾祝福。這時,耶和華的榮耀向所有民眾顯現。 24 有火從耶和華那裡降下來,燒盡祭壇上的燔祭和脂肪。民眾看見這景象,都歡呼起來,俯伏在地。

亚伦献祭

第八天,摩西召来亚伦父子们和以色列的众长老。 他对亚伦说:“你要在耶和华面前献上一头公牛犊作赎罪祭、一只公绵羊作燔祭,这些祭牲都要毫无残疾。 然后,你要告诉以色列人,‘你们要取一只公山羊作赎罪祭、毫无残疾的一岁牛犊和羊羔各一只作燔祭、 公牛和公绵羊各一只作平安祭,连同调油的素祭一起献给耶和华,因为今天耶和华要向你们显现。’” 于是,以色列人遵照摩西的吩咐,把祭物带到会幕前。全体会众都聚集到那里,站在耶和华面前。 摩西对他们说:“耶和华吩咐你们这样做,是为了向你们显出祂的荣耀。” 随后,摩西对亚伦说:“你要到坛前来,献上你的赎罪祭和燔祭,为自己和民众赎罪。也要按照耶和华的吩咐,为百姓献上他们的祭物,为他们赎罪。”

于是,亚伦走到坛前,宰杀为他作赎罪祭的牛犊。 他儿子们把牛犊的血递给他,他用手指蘸血抹在坛角上,将剩下的血倒在坛脚旁。 10 他照耶和华对摩西的吩咐,在坛上焚烧牛犊的脂肪、肾脏和肝叶, 11 把皮和肉带到营外焚烧。

12 亚伦宰了燔祭祭牲,他儿子们把祭牲的血递给他洒在祭坛四周。 13 他们将祭牲切成块,连头颅一起交给亚伦献在坛上焚烧。 14 亚伦洗净祭牲的内脏和腿,放在祭坛的燔祭上焚烧。

15 随后,亚伦为民众献祭。他牵来那只为民众作赎罪祭的公山羊,宰杀后,像刚才为自己献赎罪祭一样为他们献上赎罪祭。 16 他又牵来燔祭祭牲,依照条例献上燔祭。 17 除了早晨的燔祭,亚伦又取来素祭,从中拿了一把献在坛上焚烧。 18 然后,他宰了公牛和公绵羊,为民众献平安祭。他儿子们把祭牲的血递给他,他把血洒在祭坛四周。 19 他们把公牛和公绵羊的脂肪,即肥尾巴、遮盖内脏的脂肪、肾脏和肝叶, 20 放在祭牲的胸上,然后亚伦把那些脂肪放在坛上焚烧, 21 将胸肉和右腿肉作为摇祭在耶和华面前摇一摇,都遵照摩西的吩咐。

22 亚伦献完赎罪祭、燔祭和平安祭,举手为民众祝福后,走下祭坛。 23 之后,摩西和亚伦走进会幕,又出来为民众祝福。这时,耶和华的荣耀向所有民众显现。 24 有火从耶和华那里降下来,烧尽祭坛上的燔祭和脂肪。民众看见这景象,都欢呼起来,俯伏在地。

The Priests Begin Their Ministry

On the eighth day(A) Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders(B) of Israel. He said to Aaron, “Take a bull calf for your sin offering[a] and a ram for your burnt offering, both without defect, and present them before the Lord. Then say to the Israelites: ‘Take a male goat(C) for a sin offering,(D) a calf(E) and a lamb(F)—both a year old and without defect—for a burnt offering, and an ox[b](G) and a ram for a fellowship offering(H) to sacrifice before the Lord, together with a grain offering mixed with olive oil. For today the Lord will appear to you.(I)’”

They took the things Moses commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the entire assembly came near and stood before the Lord. Then Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord(J) may appear to you.”

Moses said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering and make atonement for yourself and the people;(K) sacrifice the offering that is for the people and make atonement for them, as the Lord has commanded.(L)

So Aaron came to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering(M) for himself. His sons brought the blood to him,(N) and he dipped his finger into the blood and put it on the horns of the altar; the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar.(O) 10 On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver from the sin offering, as the Lord commanded Moses; 11 the flesh and the hide(P) he burned up outside the camp.(Q)

12 Then he slaughtered the burnt offering.(R) His sons handed him the blood,(S) and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 13 They handed him the burnt offering piece by piece, including the head, and he burned them on the altar.(T) 14 He washed the internal organs and the legs and burned them on top of the burnt offering on the altar.(U)

15 Aaron then brought the offering that was for the people.(V) He took the goat for the people’s sin offering and slaughtered it and offered it for a sin offering as he did with the first one.

16 He brought the burnt offering and offered it in the prescribed way.(W) 17 He also brought the grain offering, took a handful of it and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning’s burnt offering.(X)

18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as the fellowship offering for the people.(Y) His sons handed him the blood, and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 19 But the fat portions of the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the layer of fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver— 20 these they laid on the breasts, and then Aaron burned the fat on the altar. 21 Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh before the Lord as a wave offering,(Z) as Moses commanded.

22 Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them.(AA) And having sacrificed the sin offering, the burnt offering and the fellowship offering, he stepped down.

23 Moses and Aaron then went into the tent of meeting.(AB) When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the Lord(AC) appeared to all the people. 24 Fire(AD) came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.(AE)

And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

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.

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;

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.

And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.

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.

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.

Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

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 an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside 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.
