Leviticus 9:1-24, NLT
Leviticus 9
The Priests Begin Their Work
1After the ordination ceremony, on the eighth day, Moses called together Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel.
5So the people presented all these things at the entrance of the Tabernacle,*9:5 Hebrew Tent of Meeting; also in 9:23. just as Moses had commanded. Then the whole community came forward and stood before the Lord.
7Then Moses said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering to purify yourself and the people. Then present the offerings of the people to purify them, making them right with the Lord,*9:7 Or to make atonement for them. just as he has commanded.”
8So Aaron went to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself.
12Next Aaron slaughtered the animal for the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it against all sides of the altar.
15Next Aaron presented the offerings of the people. He slaughtered the people’s goat and presented it as an offering for their sin, just as he had first done with the offering for his own sin.
18Then Aaron slaughtered the bull and the ram for the people’s peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it against all sides of the altar.
22After that, Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. Then, after presenting the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down from the altar.
