Leviticus 9 — Context

1

Inauguration of Tabernacle Worship On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel,

2

and said to Aaron,“Take for yourself a bull calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both flawless, and present them before the LORD.

3

Then tell the Israelites:‘Take a male goat for a sin offering and a calf and lamb, both a year old and flawless, for a burnt offering,

4

and an ox and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with olive oil, for today the LORD is going to appear to you.’”

5

So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Meeting Tent and the whole congregation presented them and stood before the LORD.

6

Then Moses said,“This is what the LORD has commanded you to do so that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.”

7

Moses then said to Aaron,“Approach the altar and make your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement on behalf of yourself and on behalf of the people; and also make the people’s offering and make atonement on behalf of them just as the LORD has commanded.”
