Leviticus
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying2Take Aaron, with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of anointing, a calf for sin, two rams, and a basket with unleavened bread3and gather together all the assembly at the door of the tabernacle4And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And when all the crowd was gathered together before the entrance of the tabernacle5he said: "This is the word that the Lord has ordered to be done.6And immediately, he brought forward Aaron and his sons. And when he had washed them7he vested the high priest with the linen undergarment, wrapped him with the wide belt, and clothed him with the hyacinth tunic, and over it he imposed the ephod8And tying it to the belt, he fitted it to the breastplate, on which was Doctrine and Truth9Also, he wrapped the headdress on his head, and over it, opposite the forehead, he placed the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, just as the Lord had instructed him10He also took up the oil of anointing, with which he anointed the tabernacle, along with all of its articles11And when he had sprinkled the altar seven times to sanctify it, he anointed it and all its vessels. And the washtub with its base he sanctified with the oil12And pouring the oil over Aaron’s head, he anointed and consecrated him13Likewise, after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunics, and wrapped them with wide belts, and placed headdresses on them, just as the Lord had ordered14He also offered the calf for sin. And when Aaron and his sons had placed their hands upon its head15he immolated it. And drawing the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar all around. And when it was expiated and sanctified, he poured out the remainder of the blood at its base16Yet truly, the fat which was on the vital organs, and the mesh of the liver, and the two little kidneys with their fat, he burned upon the altar17And the calf with the skin, and the flesh, and the dung, he burned beyond the camp, just as the Lord had instructed18He also offered a ram as a holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons had imposed their hands upon its head19he immolated it, and he poured out its blood around the altar20And cutting the ram into pieces, he burned its head, and the limbs, and the fat in the fire21having first washed the intestines and the feet. And then he burned the whole of the ram upon the altar, because it was a holocaust of most sweet odor to the Lord, just as he had instructed him22He also offered the second ram, as a consecration of priests. And Aaron and his sons placed their hands upon its head23And when Moses had immolated it, taking up some of its blood, he touched the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and similarly also his foot24He also offered the sons of Aaron. And when, from the blood of the ram which was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of each one, and the thumbs of their right hands, as well as their feet, he poured out the remainder upon the altar all around25Yet truly, the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covers the intestines, and the mesh of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right shoulder, he separated26Then, taking bread without leaven from the basket of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, and a cake sprinkled with oil, and a wafer, he placed them upon the fat and the right shoulder27delivering all these to Aaron and his sons. And when they had lifted them up in the sight of the Lord28he received them again from their hands, and he burned them upon the altar of holocaust, because it was an oblation of consecration, as a sweet odor of sacrifice to the Lord29And he took his portion from the ram of consecration, and he lifted up its breast in the sight of the Lord, just as the Lord had instructed him30And taking up the ointment, and the blood that was on the altar, he sprinkled it over Aaron and his vestments, and over his sons and their vestments31And when he had sanctified them with their vestments, he instructed them, saying: "Cook the flesh before the entrance of the tabernacle, and eat it there. Likewise, eat the loaves of consecration, which have been placed in the basket, just as the Lord instructed me, saying: ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat them.32Then whatever will remain of the flesh and the loaves shall be consumed with fire33Also, you shall not exit from the door of the tabernacle for seven days, until the day on which the time of your consecration shall be completed. For in seven days the consecration is finished34even as it has begun at this present time, so that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished35Day and night you shall remain in the tabernacle, observing the watches of the Lord, otherwise you shall die. For so it has been commanded to me.36And Aaron and his sons did everything that the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses
1Then, the eighth day having arrived, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and those greater by birth from Israel, and he said to Aaron2"Take a calf for sin from the herd, and a ram as a holocaust, both immaculate, and offer them in the sight of the Lord3And to the sons of Israel, you shall say: ‘Take a he-goat for sin, and a calf as well as a lamb, both one-year-old and without blemish, as a holocaust4Take also an ox and a ram for peace offerings. And immolate them before the Lord, offering with the sacrifice of each one fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil. For today the Lord will appear to you.’ 5And so they brought everything that Moses had ordered before the door of the tabernacle, where, when all the multitude stood together6Moses said: "This is the word, which the Lord has instructed. Accomplish it, and his glory will appear to you.7And he said to Aaron: "Approach toward the altar, and immolate on behalf of your sin. Offer the holocaust, and pray for yourself and for the people. And when you have slain the victim for the people, pray for them, just as the Lord has instructed.8And immediately Aaron, approaching toward the altar, immolated the calf for his sin9And his sons brought its blood to him, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar, and he poured out the remainder at its base10And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the mesh of the liver, which are for sin, he burned upon the altar, just as the Lord had instructed Moses11Yet truly, the flesh and its skins he burned with fire beyond the camp12He also immolated the victim of holocaust. And his sons brought its blood to him, which he poured out all around the altar13And when the victim itself was cut into pieces, they brought him the head and each of the limbs, all of which he burned with fire upon the altar14having first washed the intestines and the feet with water15And making an offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he-goat. And expiating the altar16he accomplished the holocaust17adding to it the sacrifice of the libations, which are to be offered together, and burning them upon the altar, separately from the ceremonies of the morning holocaust18He also immolated the ox, as well as the ram, as peace offerings for the people. And his sons brought him the blood, which he poured out upon the altar all around19Then the fat of the ox, and the rump of the ram, and the two little kidneys with their fat, and the mesh of the liver20they placed upon the breasts. And when the fat had been burned upon the altar21Aaron separated their breasts and the right shoulders, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord, as Moses had instructed22And extending his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so, the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being completed, he descended23Then Moses and Aaron entered the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came out and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to the entire multitude24And, behold, a fire from the Lord devoured the holocaust, and the fat which was on the altar. When the crowd had seen this, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces
1And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, picking up their censers, placed fire in them and incense upon them, offering in the sight of the Lord a strange fire, such as was not instructed of them2And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them, and they died in the sight of the Lord3And Moses said to Aaron: "This is what the Lord has spoken: ‘I will be sanctified in those who approach me, and I will be glorified in the sight of all the people.’ " And upon hearing this, Aaron was silent4Then Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the paternal uncle of Aaron, and he said to them, "Go and take your brothers from the sight of the Sanctuary, and carry them beyond the camp.5And moving quickly, they took them as they lay, vested with linen tunics, and cast them outside, just as had been commanded them6And Moses said to Aaron, and to his sons, Eleazar and Ithamar: "Do not uncover your heads, and do not rend your garments, lest perhaps you may die, and indignation may rise up over the entire assembly. Let your brothers, and all the house of Israel, bewail the burning that the Lord has kindled7But you shall not depart from the door of the tabernacle; otherwise, you shall perish. For certainly the oil of holy anointing is upon you." And they did all things according to the precept of Moses8The Lord also said to Aaron9"You shall not drink wine, nor anything that is able to inebriate you or your sons, when you enter into the tabernacle of the testimony, lest you die. For it is an everlasting precept in your generations10And so may you have the knowledge to discern between holy and profane, between polluted and clean11And so may you teach the sons of Israel all my ordinances, which the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.12And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, who were remaining: "Take the sacrifice which remains from the oblation of the Lord, and eat it without leaven next to the altar, because it is the Holy of holies13For you shall eat it in a holy place, which is given to you and to your sons, from the oblations of the Lord, just as has been instructed me14Likewise, the breast which is offered, and the shoulder which is separated, you shall eat in a most clean place, you and your sons, and your daughters with you. For these have been set aside for you and your children from the victims which benefit the sons of Israel15Since they have lifted up in the sight of the Lord, the shoulder, and the breast, and the fat that is burned on the altar, these also belong to you and to your sons as a perpetual law, just as the Lord has instructed.16Meanwhile, when Moses was searching for the he-goat, which had been offered for sin, he discovered it burned up. And being angry against Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were remaining, he said17"Why did you not eat the sacrifice for sin in the holy place, which is the Holy of holies, and which was given to you, so that you might carry the iniquity of the people, and might pray for them in the sight of the Lord18especially since none of its blood has been brought into the holy places, and since you should have eaten it in the Sanctuary, as was instructed me?19Aaron responded: "This day, the victim for sin has been offered, and the holocaust in the sight of the Lord. But you see what has happened to me. How could I eat it, or please the Lord in the ceremonies, having a sorrowful mind?20But when Moses had heard this, he was satisfied
