Si Aaron ay Nag-alay ng mga Handog

Nang ikawalong araw, ipinatawag ni Moises si Aaron, ang kanyang mga anak, at ang matatanda sa Israel.

Sinabi niya kay Aaron, “Kumuha ka ng isang batang toro bilang handog pangkasalanan, at isang tupang lalaki bilang handog na sinusunog na kapwa walang kapintasan at ihandog mo sa harapan ng Panginoon.

At sabihin mo sa mga anak ni Israel, ‘Kumuha kayo ng isang kambing na lalaki bilang handog pangkasalanan, at ng isang batang baka, at isang kordero na kapwa na may gulang na isang taon at walang kapintasan, bilang handog na sinusunog,

ng isang bakang lalaki at isang tupang lalaki na mga handog pangkapayapaan, upang ialay sa harapan ng Panginoon, at ng isang butil na handog na hinaluan ng langis, sapagkat magpapakita sa inyo ngayon ang Panginoon.’”

Kanilang dinala sa harapan ng toldang tipanan ang iniutos ni Moises, at ang buong kapulungan ay lumapit at tumayo sa harap ng Panginoon.

At sinabi ni Moises, “Ito ang bagay na iniutos ng Panginoon na gawin ninyo upang magpakita sa inyo ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon.”

Pagkatapos(A) ay sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron, “Lumapit ka sa dambana at mag-alay ka ng handog pangkasalanan at handog na sinusunog, at gumawa ka ng pagtubos para sa iyong sarili at sa bayan. Ialay mo ang handog ng bayan at gumawa ka ng pagtubos para sa kanila, gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon.”

Lumapit naman si Aaron sa dambana at pinatay ang guyang handog pangkasalanan na para sa kanya.

At dinala sa kanya ng mga anak ni Aaron ang dugo, inilubog niya ang kanyang daliri sa dugo at ipinahid iyon sa ibabaw ng mga sungay ng dambana at ang nalabing dugo ay ibinuhos sa paanan ng dambana.

10 Subalit ang taba, ang mga bato, at ang lamad na nasa atay ng handog pangkasalanan ay sinunog niya sa ibabaw ng dambana, gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

11 Ang laman at balat ay sinunog niya sa apoy sa labas ng kampo.

12 At pinatay niya ang handog na susunugin. Ibinigay sa kanya ng mga anak ni Aaron ang dugo, at kanyang iwinisik sa palibot ng dambana.

13 At kanilang ibinigay sa kanya ang handog na sinusunog, na isa-isang putol, at ang ulo at iyon ay sinunog niya sa ibabaw ng dambana.

14 Kanyang hinugasan ang lamang-loob at ang mga paa at sinunog ang mga ito para sa handog na sinusunog sa ibabaw ng dambana.

15 Kasunod niyon inialay niya ang handog ng bayan. Kinuha niya ang kambing na handog pangkasalanan na para sa bayan, at pinatay ito at inihandog bilang handog pangkasalanan, gaya ng una.

16 Dinala niya ang handog na sinusunog at inihandog ayon sa tuntunin.

17 At dinala niya ang butil na handog at pinuno nito ang kanyang palad at sinunog ito sa ibabaw ng dambana, bukod sa handog na sinusunog sa umaga.

18 Pinatay(B) niya ang bakang lalaki at ang tupang lalaki na alay na mga handog pangkapayapaan na para sa bayan. At ibinigay ng mga anak ni Aaron sa kanya ang dugo at kanyang iwinisik sa palibot ng dambana;

19 at ang taba ng toro at ng tupang lalaki, ang matabang buntot at ang tabang bumabalot, at ang mga bato, at ang lamad ng atay.

20 Kanilang inilagay ang mga taba sa ibabaw ng mga dibdib at kanyang sinunog ang taba sa ibabaw ng dambana.

21 At iwinagayway ni Aaron ang mga dibdib at ang kanang hita na handog na iwinawagayway sa harapan ng Panginoon; gaya ng iniutos ni Moises.

22 Itinaas(C) ni Aaron ang kanyang mga kamay paharap sa taong-bayan at binasbasan sila. Bumaba siya pagkatapos ng paghahandog ng handog pangkasalanan, ng handog na sinusunog, at ng mga handog pangkapayapaan.

23 Pumasok sina Moises at Aaron sa toldang tipanan, at sila'y lumabas at binasbasan ang bayan; at lumitaw ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon sa taong-bayan.

24 Lumabas ang apoy mula sa harapan ng Panginoon at tinupok ang handog na sinusunog at ang taba sa ibabaw ng dambana. Nang makita iyon ng buong bayan, sila ay nagsigawan at nagpatirapa.

Chapter 9

Octave of the Ordination. On the eighth day[a](A) Moses summoned Aaron and his sons, together with the elders of Israel, and said to Aaron, “Take a calf of the herd for a purification offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. [b]Tell the Israelites, too: Take a he-goat for a purification offering, a calf and a lamb, both unblemished yearlings, for a burnt offering, and an ox and a ram for a communion sacrifice, to sacrifice before the Lord, along with a grain offering mixed with oil; for today the Lord will appear to you.” So they brought what Moses had ordered before the tent of meeting. When the whole community had come forward and stood before the Lord, [c]Moses said, “This is what the Lord orders you to do, that the glory of the Lord may appear to you. Approach the altar,” Moses then told Aaron, “and make your purification offering and your burnt offering in atonement for yourself and for your household;[d] then make the offering of the people in atonement for them, as the Lord has commanded.”(B)

Approaching the altar, Aaron first slaughtered the calf of the purification offering that was his own offering. When his sons presented the blood to him, he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar.(C) The rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar. 10 He then burned on the altar the fat, the kidneys and the lobe of the liver from the purification offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses; 11 but the flesh and the hide he burned in the fire outside the camp.(D) 12 Then Aaron slaughtered the burnt offering. When his sons brought him the blood, he splashed it on all sides of the altar. 13 They then brought him the pieces and the head of the burnt offering, and he burned them on the altar. 14 Having washed the inner organs and the shanks, he burned these also with the burnt offering on the altar.(E)

15 Then he had the people’s offering brought. Taking the goat that was for the people’s purification offering, he slaughtered it and offered it as a purification offering as before. 16 Then he brought forward the burnt offering and offered it according to procedure. 17 He then presented the grain offering; taking a handful of it, he burned it on the altar, in addition to the morning burnt offering.(F) 18 Finally he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the communion sacrifice of the people. When his sons brought him the blood, Aaron splashed it on all sides of the altar.(G) 19 The portions of fat from the ox and from the ram, the fatty tail, the covering fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver 20 they placed on top of the briskets. Aaron burned the fat pieces on the altar, 21 but the briskets and the right thigh he raised as an elevated offering(H) before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Revelation of the Lord’s Glory. 22 [e]Aaron then raised his hands over the people and blessed(I) them. When he came down from offering the purification offering, the burnt offering, and the communion offering, 23 Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. On coming out they blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. 24 [f]Fire came forth from the Lord’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar.(J) Seeing this, all the people shouted with joy and fell prostrate.

Footnotes

  1. 9:1 Eighth day: this is the conclusion of the priestly initiation ceremony.
  2. 9:3–4 The seven-day consecration of the priests in chap. 8 did not require sacrifices from the community. Now communal sacrifices as well as priestly sacrifices are required.
  3. 9:6–21 Aaron and his sons now perform the offerings, instead of Moses (see note on 8:15).
  4. 9:7 For your household: unlike the Septuagint, the Hebrew reads be‘ad ha‘am, “for the people.”
  5. 9:22–23 The people are blessed twice. For the possible content of the blessing, compare the priestly blessing in Nm 6:22–27. Solomon offers a double blessing at the dedication of the Temple (1 Kgs 8:14–21, 55–61).
  6. 9:24 The theophany consists of a fire that apparently comes from the tent of meeting. God’s fiery glory is also manifested in the pillar of cloud and fire that led the Israelites and rested over the tent of meeting (Ex 13:21; 40:38; Nm 9:15–23; 10:11). On God’s fiery glory, see also Ex 24:17; Ez 1:27–28.
