Context of Leviticus 9:4
2and he said to Aaron, “Take a bull calf as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, [each] without blemish, and offer both before the Lord. 3Then say to the Israelites, ‘Take a male goat as a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both one year old, without blemish, as a burnt offering, and a bull and a ram as peace offerings to sacrifice before the Lord, and a grain offering mixed with [olive] oil, for today the Lord will appear to you.’ ” 5So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and all the congregation approached and stood before the Lord. 6Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord may appear to you.”
