Context of Leviticus 9:4

2Then he said to Aaron, “Take a calf from the herd for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and offer them before Adonai. 3You are to speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: Take a male goat for a sin offering, along with a calf and a lamb, both yearlings without blemish, for a burnt offering, plus a bull and a ram for fellowship offerings, to sacrifice before Adonai, along with a grain offering mixed with oil. For today Adonai ­appears to you.” 5So they brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting, and the entire congregation drew near and stood before Adonai. 6Moses said, “This is what Adonai commanded that you should do, so that the glory of Adonai may appear to you.”
