Leviticus 9:8-24

8Aaron brought the young bull to the altar. He killed it. This was his offering to the Lord to atone for his sin.

9His sons brought the blood to Aaron. He put his finger in the blood and he put it on the horns of the altar. He poured the blood that he did not use onto the floor in front of the altar.

10Aaron burnt the fat, the kidneys and the best piece of the liver on the altar as a sin offering. He did it as the Lord had told Moses.

11He took the meat and the skin from the young bull outside the camp and he burnt it.

12Aaron brought the male sheep for the burnt offering to the altar. He killed it. His sons brought the blood to him. He threw the blood onto the sides of the altar.

13The priests gave the pieces of the animal, including the head, to Aaron. Aaron burnt them on the altar.

14He washed the inside parts and the legs. He burnt them on the altar on top of the burnt offering.

15Aaron brought the goat. This was the people's sacrifice to God. Aaron killed it and he burnt it on the altar. It was an offering to atone for the people's sin. He offered this sacrifice in the same way as the first sacrifice for sin.

16Aaron brought the other young cow. He killed it and he burnt it on the altar. He did it as Moses had told him.

17He also brought the grain offering. He took some of it and he burnt it on the altar. He burnt it with the morning sacrifice.

18Aaron killed the bull and the male sheep. These were friendship offerings from the people. The priests brought the blood to him. He threw it onto the sides of the altar.

19Aaron took the fat tail, the fat and the kidneys and the best piece of the liver.

20He put them on the meat of the animal's ribs. Then he burnt the fat on the altar.

21Aaron lifted up the meat as an offering to the Lord. Moses had told him that he must do this.

22When Aaron had finished burning the gifts, he lifted up his hands over the people. He had sacrificed the sin offering, the burnt offering and the friendship offering. Then he asked God to do good things for the people. And Aaron came down from the altar.

23Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they asked God to do good things for the people. The bright light from the Lord appeared to the people to show how great he is.

24Then the Lord sent a fire to show that he accepted the gifts. It completely burnt all the fat and the offerings that were on the altar. The people were very happy when they saw this. They shouted and they fell down with their faces to the ground.
