Leviticus 9:1-24

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 refer to either male or 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 up 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 toward 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 facedown.

利未記 9:1-24

亞倫獻祭

1第八天,摩西召來亞倫父子們和以色列的眾長老。 2他對亞倫說:「你要在耶和華面前獻上一頭公牛犢作贖罪祭、一隻公綿羊作燔祭,這些祭牲都要毫無殘疾。 3然後,你要告訴以色列人,『你們要取一隻公山羊作贖罪祭、毫無殘疾的一歲牛犢和羊羔各一隻作燔祭、 4公牛和公綿羊各一隻作平安祭,連同調油的素祭一起獻給耶和華,因為今天耶和華要向你們顯現。』」 5於是,以色列人遵照摩西的吩咐,把祭物帶到會幕前。全體會眾都聚集到那裡,站在耶和華面前。 6摩西對他們說:「耶和華吩咐你們這樣做,是為了向你們顯出祂的榮耀。」 7隨後,摩西亞倫說:「你要到壇前來,獻上你的贖罪祭和燔祭,為自己和民眾贖罪。也要按照耶和華的吩咐,為百姓獻上他們的祭物,為他們贖罪。」

8於是,亞倫走到壇前,宰殺為他作贖罪祭的牛犢。 9他兒子們把牛犢的血遞給他,他用手指蘸血抹在壇角上,將剩下的血倒在壇腳旁。 10他照耶和華對摩西的吩咐,在壇上焚燒牛犢的脂肪、腎臟和肝葉, 11把皮和肉帶到營外焚燒。

12亞倫宰了燔祭祭牲,他兒子們把祭牲的血遞給他灑在祭壇四周。 13他們將祭牲切成塊,連頭顱一起交給亞倫獻在壇上焚燒。 14亞倫洗淨祭牲的內臟和腿,放在祭壇的燔祭上焚燒。

15隨後,亞倫為民眾獻祭。他牽來那隻為民眾作贖罪祭的公山羊,宰殺後,像剛才為自己獻贖罪祭一樣為他們獻上贖罪祭。 16他又牽來燔祭祭牲,依照條例獻上燔祭。 17除了早晨的燔祭,亞倫又取來素祭,從中拿了一把獻在壇上焚燒。 18然後,他宰了公牛和公綿羊,為民眾獻平安祭。他兒子們把祭牲的血遞給他,他把血灑在祭壇四周。 19他們把公牛和公綿羊的脂肪,即肥尾巴、遮蓋內臟的脂肪、腎臟和肝葉, 20放在祭牲的胸上,然後亞倫把那些脂肪放在壇上焚燒, 21將胸肉和右腿肉作為搖祭在耶和華面前搖一搖,都遵照摩西的吩咐。

22亞倫獻完贖罪祭、燔祭和平安祭,舉手為民眾祝福後,走下祭壇。 23之後,摩西亞倫走進會幕,又出來為民眾祝福。這時,耶和華的榮耀向所有民眾顯現。 24有火從耶和華那裡降下來,燒盡祭壇上的燔祭和脂肪。民眾看見這景象,都歡呼起來,俯伏在地。
