9:1  And it happened on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel;
9:2  and 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.
9:3  Then 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,
9:4  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.’”
9:5  So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and all the congregation approached and stood before the Lord.
9:6  Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord may appear to you.”
9:7  Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and present your sin offering and your burnt offering and make atonement for yourself and for the people; and present the offering of the people and make atonement for them, just as the Lord has commanded.”
9:8  So Aaron approached the altar and killed the calf as the sin offering, which was designated for himself.
9:9  The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; he dipped his finger in the blood and put some of it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the rest of the blood at the altar’s base;
9:10  but the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering he offered up in smoke on the altar, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
9:11  And Aaron burned the meat and the hide in the fire outside the camp.
9:12  Then he killed the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him and he sprinkled it around on the altar.
9:13  They brought the burnt offering to him piece by piece, with the head, and Aaron offered them up in smoke on the altar.
9:14  He also washed the entrails and the legs, and offered them up in smoke with the burnt offering on the altar.
9:15  Then Aaron presented the people’s offering. He took the goat for the sin offering of the people, and killed it and offered it for sin, as he did the first.
9:16  He also presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.
9:17  Next Aaron presented the grain offering and took a handful of it and offered it up in smoke on the altar in addition to the burnt offering of the morning.
9:18  He also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings which was for the people; and Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him and he sprinkled it around on the altar,
9:19  As for the portions of fat from the bull and from the ram—the fat tail, and the fat covering the internal organs, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver—
9:20  they now put the portions of fat on the breasts; and Aaron offered the fat up in smoke on the altar.
9:21  But the breasts and the right thigh Aaron presented as a wave offering before the Lord, just as Moses had commanded.
9:22  Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them, and came down [from the altar of burnt offering] after presenting the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
9:23  Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came out they blessed the people, and the glory and brilliance of the Lord [the Shekinah cloud] appeared to all the people [as promised].
9:24  Then fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the portions of fat on the altar; and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell face downward [in awe and worship].
