7Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se ɔnkɔ afɔremuka no so na ɔnkɔbɔ bɔne ne ɔhyew afɔre no mfa nyɛ mpata mma ne ho ansa na ato nnipa no sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no.
8Enti Aaron foro kɔɔ afɔremuka no so. Okum nantwi ba no de bɔɔ ɔno ara ne bɔne ho afɔre. 9Ne mmabarima no de mogya no brɛɛ no na ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɔɔ mu sraa mmɛn a ɛwɔ afɔremuka no ho no na ohwiee nkae no guu afɔremuka no ase. 10Afei, ɔhyew srade, asaabo, bɔnwoma, bɔnwoma nkotoku a efi bɔne afɔrebɔde no mu sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no. 11Na nam no de, ɔhyew ne ne nwoma wɔ nsraban no akyi.
12Nea edi hɔ ne sɛ, okum ɔhyew afɔre aboa no maa ne mmabarima sɔw mogya no ma ɔde petee afɔremuka no ho nyinaa, 13Wɔde aboa no brɛɛ no asinasin a ne ti ka ho. Ɔhyew aboa no akwaa biara wɔ afɔremuka no so. 14Afei, ɔhoroo aboa no ayamde ne ne nan ho hyew wɔ afɔremuka no so sɛ ɔhyew afɔre.
15Afei, ɔbɔɔ afɔre maa ɔmanfo. Okum abirekyi nanso ɔfaa ɔkwan koro a ɔfaa so bɔɔ bɔne afɔre maa ne ho no so bɔɔ afɔre maa ne ho.

22Afei, Aaron trɛw ne nsam wɔ nnipa no so hyiraa wɔn, na osian fii afɔremuka no ho sii fam.
23Mose ne Aaron kɔɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ na wɔsan baa bio no, wohyiraa nnipa no na Awurade anuonyam baa nnipa no nyinaa so. 24Na ogya fi Awurade nkyɛn bɛhyew ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no ne srade a ɛwɔ afɔremuka no so no. Na nnipa no huu eyi no, wɔn nyinaa teɛteɛɛ mu butubutuw fam wɔ Awurade anim.
The priests begin their ministry
1On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. 2He said to Aaron, ‘Take a bull calf for your sin offering9:2 Or purification offering; here and throughout this chapter and a ram for your burnt offering, both without defect, and present them before the Lord. 3Then say to the Israelites: “Take a male goat for a sin offering, a calf and a lamb – both a year old and without defect – for a burnt offering, 4and an ox9:4 The Hebrew word can include both male and female; also in verses 18 and 19. and a ram for a fellowship offering to sacrifice before the Lord, together with a grain offering mixed with olive oil. For today the Lord will appear to you.” ’
5They took the things Moses commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the entire assembly came near and stood before the Lord. 6Then Moses said, ‘This is what the Lord has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord may appear to you.’
7Moses said to Aaron, ‘Come to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering and make atonement for yourself and the people; sacrifice the offering that is for the people and make atonement for them, as the Lord has commanded.’
8So Aaron came to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself. 9His sons brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger into the blood and put it on the horns of the altar; the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar. 10On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver from the sin offering, as the Lord commanded Moses; 11the flesh and the hide he burned outside the camp.
12Then he slaughtered the burnt offering. His sons handed him the blood, and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 13They handed him the burnt offering piece by piece, including the head, and he burned them on the altar. 14He washed the internal organs and the legs and burned them on top of the burnt offering on the altar.
15Aaron then brought the offering that was for the people. He took the goat for the people’s sin offering and slaughtered it and offered it for a sin offering as he did with the first one.
16He brought the burnt offering and offered it in the prescribed way. 17He also brought the grain offering, took a handful of it and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning’s burnt offering.
18He slaughtered the ox and the ram as the fellowship offering for the people. His sons handed him the blood, and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 19But the fat portions of the ox and the ram – the fat tail, the layer of fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver – 20these they laid on the breasts, and then Aaron burned the fat on the altar. 21Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh before the Lord as a wave offering, as Moses commanded.
22Then Aaron lifted his hands towards the people and blessed them. And having sacrificed the sin offering, the burnt offering and the fellowship offering, he stepped down.
23Moses and Aaron then went into the tent of meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. 24Fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell face down.
