First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(C)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(D) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(E) through the sacrifice of the body(F) of Jesus Christ once for all.(G)

11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,(H) which can never take away sins.(I) 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,(J) he sat down at the right hand of God,(K)

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;(A) sacrifice the offering that is for the people and make atonement for them, as the Lord has commanded.(B)

So Aaron came to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering(C) for himself. His sons brought the blood to him,(D) 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.(E) 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(F) he burned up outside the camp.(G)

12 Then he slaughtered the burnt offering.(H) His sons handed him the blood,(I) 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.(J) 14 He washed the internal organs and the legs and burned them on top of the burnt offering on the altar.(K)

15 Aaron then brought the offering that was for the people.(L) 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.(M) 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.(N)

18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as the fellowship offering for the people.(O) 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,(P) as Moses commanded.

22 Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them.(Q) 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.(R) When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the Lord(S) appeared to all the people. 24 Fire(T) 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.(U)

“Give this command to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Make sure that you present to me at the appointed time(A) my food(B) offerings, as an aroma pleasing to me.’(C) Say to them: ‘This is the food offering you are to present to the Lord: two lambs a year old without defect,(D) as a regular burnt offering each day.(E) Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight,(F) together with a grain offering(G) of a tenth of an ephah[a] of the finest flour(H) mixed with a quarter of a hin[b] of oil(I) from pressed olives. This is the regular burnt offering(J) instituted at Mount Sinai(K) as a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.(L) The accompanying drink offering(M) is to be a quarter of a hin of fermented drink(N) with each lamb.

Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood(H) and carry it into the tent of meeting. He is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle(I) some of it seven times before the Lord,(J) in front of the curtain of the sanctuary.(K) The priest shall then put some of the blood on the horns(L) of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. The rest of the bull’s blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar(M) of burnt offering(N) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. He shall remove all the fat(O) from the bull of the sin offering—all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys(P) 10 just as the fat is removed from the ox[b](Q) sacrificed as a fellowship offering.(R) Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.(S) 11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestines(T) 12 that is, all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp(U) to a place ceremonially clean,(V) where the ashes(W) are thrown, and burn it(X) there in a wood fire on the ash heap.(Y)

32 “‘If someone brings a lamb(BM) as their sin offering, they are to bring a female without defect.(BN) 33 They are to lay their hand on its head and slaughter it(BO) for a sin offering(BP) at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.(BQ) 34 Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.(BR) 35 They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the lamb of the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar(BS) on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.
