Aarón inicia su sacerdocio
9 Al octavo día Moisés llamó a Aarón y a sus hijos, y a los ancianos de Israel. 2 Y le dijo a Aarón: «Toma un becerro para el sacrificio por el pecado, y un carnero sin defecto para ofrecerlo en holocausto, y preséntalos ante el Señor. 3 A los israelitas diles que tomen un chivo como sacrificio por el pecado, un becerro y un cordero que sean de un año y que no tengan ningún defecto, para ofrecerlos como holocaustos, 4 y un toro y un carnero para matarlos ante el Señor como sacrificios de reconciliación. Que traigan también una ofrenda de cereales amasada con aceite, porque el Señor se les va a manifestar hoy.»
5 Los israelitas llevaron hasta delante de la tienda del encuentro lo que Moisés había ordenado, y toda la comunidad se acercó y permaneció de pie ante el Señor. 6 Entonces Moisés dijo: «Esto es lo que el Señor ha ordenado. Háganlo, y el Señor se manifestará a ustedes con gran esplendor.»
7 Luego le dijo Moisés a Aarón: «Acércate al altar, y presenta tu sacrificio por el pecado y el animal que vas a ofrecer en holocausto para el perdón de tus pecados y de los pecados de los israelitas. Presenta también la ofrenda de los israelitas para el perdón de sus pecados, tal como el Señor lo ha ordenado.»
8 Aarón se acercó al altar y degolló el becerro que ofrecía por sus pecados. 9 En seguida sus hijos le acercaron la sangre, y Aarón, mojando sus dedos en ella, la untó en los cuernos del altar y derramó la sangre restante al pie del altar. 10 Luego quemó sobre el altar la grasa, los riñones y la parte grasosa del hígado del animal sacrificado por el pecado, tal como el Señor se lo había ordenado a Moisés. 11 Pero la carne y la piel las quemó fuera del campamento.
12 Aarón degolló también el animal que se ofrecía en holocausto, y sus hijos le llevaron la sangre, y con ella roció Aarón los costados del altar. 13 Luego le llevaron la cabeza y los pedazos cortados del animal que se ofrecía en holocausto, y Aarón los quemó sobre el altar; 14 luego lavó las vísceras y las piernas, y las quemó en el altar, lo mismo que el animal entero.
15 Aarón presentó también la ofrenda por los israelitas. Tomó el chivo, que era el sacrificio por el pecado del pueblo, y lo degolló, ofreciéndolo por el pecado como había hecho con la ofrenda anterior. 16 Al presentar el animal que se ofrece en holocausto, lo hizo según lo establecido. 17 Luego presentó la ofrenda de cereales, de la que tomó un puñado y lo quemó sobre el altar, además de los holocaustos de la mañana.
18 Aarón degolló también el toro y el carnero que los israelitas ofrecían como sacrificio de reconciliación. Sus hijos le entregaron la sangre, y él roció con ella los costados del altar. 19 También le entregaron las grasas del toro y del carnero, la cola, la grasa que cubre las vísceras, los riñones y la parte grasosa del hígado, 20 y pusieron las grasas junto con los pechos. Entonces Aarón quemó las grasas en el altar, 21 pero con los pechos y los muslos derechos sólo celebró ante el Señor el rito de presentación, tal como el Señor se lo había ordenado a Moisés.
22 Aarón levantó sus manos sobre los israelitas y los bendijo, y después de haber presentado el sacrificio por el pecado, el holocausto y el sacrificio de reconciliación, se retiró del altar. 23 Luego Moisés y Aarón entraron en la tienda del encuentro, y al salir bendijeron a los israelitas. Entonces el Señor se manifestó con gran esplendor a todo el pueblo: 24 salió fuego de la presencia del Señor y consumió el animal que iba a ser quemado y las grasas que estaban sobre el altar.
Al ver esto, todos los israelitas lanzaron gritos de alegría y se inclinaron hasta tocar el suelo con la frente.
Leviticus 9
New International Version
The Priests Begin Their Ministry
9 On the eighth day(A) Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders(B) of Israel. 2 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. 3 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, 4 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)’”
5 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. 6 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.”
7 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)”
8 So Aaron came to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering(M) for himself. 9 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)

Leviticus 9
King James Version
9 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 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.
