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)

The Priestly Ministry Begins

It came to pass on the (A)eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. And he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a young (B)bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. And to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, (C)‘Take a kid of the goats as a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering, also a bull and a ram as peace offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord, and (D)a grain offering mixed with oil; for (E)today the Lord will appear to you.’ ”

So they brought what Moses commanded before the tabernacle of meeting. And all the congregation drew near and stood [a]before the Lord. Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord commanded you to do, and the glory of the Lord will appear to you.” And Moses said to Aaron, “Go to the altar, (F)offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. (G)Offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded.”

Aaron therefore went to the altar and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. Then the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him. And he dipped his finger in the blood, put it on the horns of the altar, and poured the blood at the base of the altar. 10 (H)But the fat, the kidneys, and the fatty lobe from the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 11 (I)The flesh and the hide he burned with fire outside the camp.

12 And he killed the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, (J)which he sprinkled all around on the altar. 13 (K)Then they presented the burnt offering to him, with its pieces and head, and he burned them on the altar. 14 (L)And he washed the entrails and the legs, and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.

15 (M)Then he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and killed it and offered it for sin, like the first one. 16 And he brought the burnt offering and offered it (N)according to the [b]prescribed manner. 17 Then he brought the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar, (O)besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning.

18 He also killed the bull and the ram as (P)sacrifices of peace offerings, which were for the people. And Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled all around on the altar, 19 and the fat from the bull and the ram—the fatty tail, what covers the entrails and the kidneys, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver; 20 and they put the fat on the breasts. (Q)Then he burned the fat on the altar; 21 but the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved (R)as a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.

22 Then Aaron lifted his hand toward the people, (S)blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and peace offerings. 23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people, 24 and (T)fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they (U)shouted and fell on their (V)faces.

  2. Leviticus 9:16 ordinance

At nangyari sa ikawalong araw, na tinawag ni Moises si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak, at ang mga matanda sa Israel;

At sinabi niya kay Aaron, Magdala ka ng isang guyang toro, na handog dahil sa kasalanan at isang tupang lalake na handog na susunugin, na kapuwa walang kapintasan, at ihandog mo sa harap ng Panginoon.

At sa mga anak ni Israel ay sasalitain mo, na sasabihin, Kumuha kayo ng isang kambing na lalake na handog dahil sa kasalanan; at ng isang guyang baka, at ng isang kordero, na kapuwa na may gulang na isang taon, at walang kapintasan, na handog na susunugin;

At ng isang toro at ng isang tupang lalake na mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, upang ihain sa harap ng Panginoon, at ng isang handog na harina na hinaluan ng langis: sapagka't napakikita sa inyo ngayon ang Panginoon.

At kanilang dinala sa harap ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan ang iniutos ni Moises: at lumapit doon ang buong kapisanan, at tumayo sa harap ng Panginoon.

At sinabi ni Moises, Ito ang iniutos ng Panginoon na gawin ninyo: at lilitaw sa inyo ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon.

At sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron, Lumapit ka sa dambana, at ihandog mo ang iyong handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ang iyong handog na susunugin, at itubos mo sa iyong sarili at sa bayan: at ihandog mo ang alay ng bayan, at itubos mo sa kanila; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon.

Lumapit nga si Aaron sa dambana at pinatay ang guyang handog dahil sa kasalanan, na yao'y para sa kaniya.

At iniharap ng mga anak ni Aaron sa kaniya ang dugo: at itinubog niya ang kaniyang daliri sa dugo, at ipinahid sa ibabaw ng mga anyong sungay ng dambana at ang dugong labis ay ibinuhos sa tungtungan ng dambana:

10 Datapuwa't ang taba at ang mga bato, at ang lamad na nasa atay ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, ay sinunog niya sa ibabaw ng dambana; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

11 At ang laman at ang balat ay sinunog niya sa apoy sa labas ng kampamento.

12 At pinatay niya ang handog na susunugin; at ibinigay sa kaniya ng mga anak ni Aaron ang dugo, at kaniyang iniwisik sa ibabaw ng palibot ng dambana.

13 At kaniyang ibinigay sa kaniya ang handog na susunugin, na isaisang putol, at ang ulo: at sinunog niya sa ibabaw ng dambana.

14 At kaniyang hinugasan ang lamang loob at ang mga paa at sinunog sa ibabaw ng handog na susunugin sa ibabaw ng dambana.

15 At iniharap niya ang alay ng bayan; at kinuha ang kambing na handog dahil sa kasalanan na para sa bayan, at pinatay at inihandog dahil sa kasalanan, na gaya ng una.

16 At iniharap niya ang handog na susunugin, at inihandog ayon sa palatuntunan.

17 At iniharap niya ang handog na harina, at kumuha ng isang dakot, at sinunog sa ibabaw ng dambana, bukod sa handog na susunugin sa umaga.

18 Kaniyang pinatay rin ang toro at ang tupang lalake na haing mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, na para sa bayan: at ibinigay ng mga anak ni Aaron sa kaniya ang dugo, at kaniyang iniwisik sa ibabaw ng dambana hanggang sa palibot.

19 At ang taba ng toro at ng tupang lalake, ang matabang buntot at ang tabang nakatakip sa lamang loob, at ang mga bato, at ang lamad ng atay.

20 At kanilang inilagay ang mga taba sa ibabaw ng mga dibdib, at kaniyang sinunog ang taba sa ibabaw ng dambana:

21 At ang mga dibdib at ang kanang hita ay inalog ni Aaron na pinakahandog na inalog sa harap ng Panginoon; gaya ng iniutos ni Moises.

22 At itinaas ni Aaron ang kaniyang mga kamay sa dakong bayan at binasbasan niya; at bumaba siya na mula sa paghahandog ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ng handog na susunugin, at ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan.

23 At pumasok si Moises at si Aaron sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at sila'y lumabas, at binasbasan ang bayan: at lumitaw ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon sa buong bayan.

24 At may lumabas na apoy sa harap ng Panginoon, at sinunog sa ibabaw ng dambana ang handog na susunugin at ang taba: at nang makita yaon ng buong bayan, ay nagsigawan at nangagpatirapa.
