CHAPTER 9

1 Now on the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel;

2 And he said to Aaron, Take for yourself a calf of the herd for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, without blem- ish, and present them before Jehovah.

3 Then to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, Take a male goat for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old without blemish, for a burnt offering;

4 And an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah; and a meal offering mingled with oil; for today Jehovah will appear to you.

5 So they brought what Moses had commanded before the Tent of Meeting, and all the assembly came near and stood before Jehovah.

6 And Moses said, This is what Jehovah has commanded you to do. And the glory of Jehovah shall appear to you.

7 Then Moses said to Aaron, Come near to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make expiation for yourself and for the people; and make the offering of the people and make expiation for them; just as Jehovah has commanded.

8 So Aaron came near to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

9 And the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, and the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar.

10 But the fat and the kidneys and the appendage of the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

11 And the flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.

12 Then he slaughtered the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him, and he sprinkled it on and around the altar.

13 And they handed the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head; and he burned them on the altar.

14 And he washed the inward parts and the legs and burned them upon the burnt offering on the altar.

15 Then he presented the people’s offering, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people and slaughtered it and offered it for sin, like the first.

16 And he presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.

17 Then he presented the meal offering and filled his hand with some of it and burned it on the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning.

18 Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings which was for the people; and Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him, which he sprinkled on and around the altar.

19 And the fat portions of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and the fat which covers the inward parts and the kidneys and the appendage of the liver –

20 These fat portions they then put on the breasts; and he burned the fat portions on the altar.

21 And the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before Jehovah, just as Moses had commanded.

22 And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them, and he came down from offering the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings.

23 And Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting. And they came out and blessed the people; and the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the people.

24 Then fire came forth from before Jehovah and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar; and when all the people saw it, they gave a ringing shout and fell on their faces.

CHAPTER 8
1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread;

3 And gather all the assembly at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

4 And Moses did just as Jehovah had commanded him, and the assembly was gathered at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

5 And Moses said to the assembly, This is what Jehovah has commanded to be done.

6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons near and washed them with water.

7 And he put the tunic upon him and girded him with the girding sash and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and with it he bound it to him.

8 And he placed the breastplate upon him, and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim.

9 And he placed the turban on his head; and on the turban, on its front, he placed the golden plate, the holy crown; just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

10 And Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them.

11 And he sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them.

12 And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to sanctify him.

13 And Moses brought Aaron’s sons near, and clothed them with tunics and girded them with girding sashes and bound high hats on them, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

14 And he brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

15 And he slaughtered it; and Moses took the blood and put some of it on and around the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and sanctified it, to make expiation for it.

16 And he took all the fat that was on the inward parts and the appendage of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar.

17 But the bull and its skin and its flesh and its dung he burned with fire outside the camp, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

18 And he presented the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

19 And he slaughtered it, and Moses sprinkled the blood on and around the altar.

20 And he cut the ram into its pieces, and Moses burned the head and the pieces and the fat.

21 And the inward parts and the legs he washed with water, and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a satisfying fragrance; it was an offering by fire to Jehovah, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

22 And he presented the other ram, the ram of the filling of hands, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

23 And he slaughtered it, and Moses took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

24 And he brought Aaron’s sons near, and Moses put some of the blood on the lobe of their right ear and on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the rest of the blood on and around the altar.

25 And he took the fat and the fat tail and all the fat that was on the inward parts, and the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh;

26 And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before Jehovah, he took one unleavened cake and one cake of oiled bread and one wafer, and placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.

27 And he put all these in the palms of Aaron and in the palms of his sons, and he waved them as a wave offering before Jehovah.

28 And Moses took them from their palms and burned them on the altar upon the burnt offering. They were an offering of the filling of hands for a satisfying fragrance; it was an offering by fire to Jehovah.

29 And Moses took the breast and waved it as a wave offering before Jehovah; it was Moses’ portion of the ram of the filling of hands, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

30 And Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons and on his sons’ garments with him; and he sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.

31 And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of the filling of hands, just as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.

32 And what is left of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.

33 And you shall not go out from the entrance of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your filling of hands is fulfilled, for it will take seven days to fill your hands.

34 As has been done this day, so Jehovah has commanded to do, to make expiation for you.

35 And at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting you shall stay day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Jehovah, that you may not die; for so I have been commanded.

36 And Aaron and his sons did all the things which Jehovah had commanded through Moses.

CHAPTER 7

1 And this is the law of the trespass offering; it is most holy;

2 In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they shall slaughter the trespass offering, and its blood he shall sprinkle on and around the altar.

3 And he shall present from it all its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the inward parts,

4 And the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the appendage upon the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys.

5 And the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering by fire to Jehovah; it is a trespass offering.

6 Every male among the priests may eat of it; it shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

7 The trespass offering is like the sin offering; there is one law for them: The priest who makes expiation with it shall have it.

8 And the priest who presents anyone’s burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has presented.

9 And every meal offering that is baked in an oven and everything that is made in a pot or on a flat plate shall belong to the priest who presents it.

10 And every other meal offering, mingled with oil or dry, shall be for all the sons of Aaron, to each alike.

11 Now this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that one shall present to Jehovah:

12 If he presents it for a thanksgiving, then he shall present with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil and saturated cakes of fine flour mingled with oil.

13 With cakes of leavened bread he shall present his offering with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving.

14 And from it he shall present one out of each offering as a heave offering to Jehovah; it shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he presents his sacrifice, and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten,

17 But what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.

18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten at all on the third day, it will not be accepted, neither will it be reckoned to the one who presents it; it will be an abomination, and the person who eats of it shall bear his own iniquity.

19 And flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. And as for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh.

20 But the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which belong to Jehovah, with his uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from his people.

21 And when anyone touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man or an unclean beast or any unclean abomination, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which belong to Jehovah, that person shall be cut off from his people.

22 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

23 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall not eat any fat of an ox or of a sheep or of a goat.

24 And the fat of an animal that dies and the fat of an animal which is torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but you shall by no means eat it.

25 For whoever eats the fat of a beast, from which someone presents an offering by fire to Jehovah, then the person who eats it shall be cut off from his people.

26 And you shall not eat any blood, either of bird or of beast, in any of your dwelling places.

27 Any person who eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.

28 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, He who presents the sacrifice of his peace offerings to Jehovah shall bring his offering to Jehovah out of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

30 His own hands shall bring Jehovah’s offerings by fire; the fat with the breast he shall bring, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before Jehovah.

31 And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar; but the breast shall be for Aaron and for his sons.

32 And the right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

33 The one among the sons of Aaron who presents the blood of the peace offerings and the fat shall have the right thigh as his portion.

34 For the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering I have taken from the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons for a perpetual statute to be observed by the children of Israel.

35 This is the anointing portion of Aaron and the anointing portion of his sons, from Jehovah’s offerings by fire, in the day when he presented them to serve Jehovah as priests,

36 Which Jehovah commanded to be given them from the children of Israel in the day that He anointed them. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout their generations.

37 This is the law of the burnt offering and of the meal offering and of the sin offering and of the trespass offering and of the filling of hands and of the sacrifice of peace offerings,

38 Which Jehovah commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day that He commanded the children of Israel to present their offerings to Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai.

CHAPTER 6

1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 If anyone sins and acts unfaithfully against Jehovah and deceives his associate in regard to a deposit or a security, or by robbery, or has extorted from his associate,

3 Or has found a lost item and lied about it, if he has sworn falsely in any one of all these things a man may do and sins thereby;

4 Then if he has sinned and is guilty, he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he got by extortion, or the deposit which was entrusted to him, or the lost item which he found,

5 Or anything about which he has sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in full, and shall add to it a fifth part of it. He shall give it to the one to whom it belongs, on the day he is found guilty.

6 And he shall bring to Jehovah his trespass offering, a ram without blemish out of the flock according to your valuation for a trespass offering; to the priest he shall bring it.

7 And the priest shall make expiation for him before Jehovah, and he will be forgiven for any of the things which he may have done so as to be guilty.

8 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.

10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen trousers he shall put on his flesh; and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.

11 Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

12 And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it must not go out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it and shall burn the fat of the peace offerings on it.

13 Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out.

14 And this is the law of the meal offering: The sons of Aaron shall present it before Jehovah before the altar.

15 And one shall take up from it his handful of the fine flour of the meal offering and of its oil and all the frankincense which is on the meal offering, and he shall burn it on the altar for a satisfying fragrance as its memorial portion to Jehovah.

16 And what is left of it Aaron and his sons may eat; it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place; in the court of the Tent of Meeting they shall eat it.

17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of My offerings by fire; it is most holy, like the sin offering and like the trespass offering.

18 Every male among the children of Aaron shall eat of it; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations from Jehovah’s offerings by fire; whoever touches them shall be holy.

19 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

20 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall present to Jehovah in the day when he is anointed: the tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a continual meal offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.

21 On a flat plate it shall be prepared with oil; when it is mixed, you shall bring it; as a meal offering of baked pieces you shall present it as a satisfying fragrance to Jehovah.

22 And the priest anointed to be in his place from among his sons shall prepare it. It shall be a perpetual statute; it shall be wholly burned to Jehovah.

23 And every meal offering of the priest shall be wholly burned; it must not be eaten.

24 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

25 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered the sin offering shall be slaughtered before Jehovah; it is most holy.

26 The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the Tent of Meeting.

27 Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy. And when any of its blood splashes on a garment, you shall wash whatever was splashed in a holy place.

28 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken; and if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it shall be scoured and rinsed in water.

29 Every male among the priests may eat of it; it is most holy.

30 And any sin offering of which some of the blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to make expiation in the Holy Place shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire.

CHAPTER 5
1 And if anyone sins in that he hears the voice of adjuration when he is a witness, whether he has seen or known about a matter, if he does not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.

2 Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether the carcass of an unclean animal or the carcass of unclean cattle or the carcass of unclean swarming things, and it escapes his notice, and he is unclean, then he will be guilty.

3 Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he becomes unclean, and it escapes his notice, when he comes to know it, then he will be guilty.

4 Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil or to do good, whatever it is that a man utters rashly with an oath, and it escapes his notice, when he comes to know it, then he shall be guilty in one of these things.

5 And when he is guilty in one of these things, he shall confess that in which he has sinned;

6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to Jehovah for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a sheep or a goat, as a sin offering; and the priest shall make expiation for him on account of his sin.

7 And if he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring as his trespass offering to Jehovah for that in which he has sinned two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

8 And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall present first that which is for the sin offering; and the priest shall pinch off its head at the front of its neck but shall not sever it;

9 And he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin offering.

10 And he shall offer the second as a burnt offering according to the ordinance. And the priest shall make expiation for him on account of his sin which he has committed, and he will be forgiven.

11 But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he shall bring as his offering for that which he has sinned, the tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it nor put any frankincense upon it, for it is a sin offering.

12 And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as its memorial portion and burn it on the altar, upon Jehovah’s offerings by fire; it is a sin offering.

13 And the priest shall make expiation for him concerning his sin that he has committed in any of these things, and he will be forgiven. And the rest shall be the priest’s, like the meal offering.

14 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

15 If anyone acts unfaithfully and sins without intent in the holy things of Jehovah, then he shall bring his trespass offering to Jehovah, a ram without blemish out of the flock according to your valuation in silver by shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.

16 And he shall make restitution for the holy thing in which he has sinned, and he shall add to it a fifth part of it and give it to the priest. And the priest shall make expiation for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.

17 And if anyone sins and does any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done, though he did not know, he is still guilty and shall bear his iniquity.

18 And he shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish out of the flock according to your valuation for a trespass offering. And the priest shall make expiation for him concerning the matter in which he erred without intent and did not know, and he will be forgiven.

19 It is a trespass offering; he is certainly guilty before Jehovah.
