On the eighth day Moses called Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel. He told Aaron to take a young bull as a sin offering and a ram without blemish as a burnt offering, and offer them before the Lord. The children of Israel were to take a kid goat as a sin offering and a calf and a lamb of the first year, without blemish as a burnt offering. They were also to take a bull and ram as peace offerings to sacrifice before the Lord. He also told them to take a grain offering mixed with oil because the Lord was going to appear to them that day. They all did what Moses commanded and brought everything before the tabernacle of meeting. All the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord. Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord commanded you to do, and the glory of the Lord will appear to you.” Have you ever experienced the glory of the Lord once you did what He commanded you to do?
Moses told Aaron to go to the altar and offer his sin and burnt offerings to make atonement for himself and the people. He was to offer the people’s offering and make atonement for them as the Lord commanded. Aaron went to the altar and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. Aaron’s sons brought the blood to him and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar. He also poured the blood at the base of the altar. The fat, the kidneys and the fatty lobe from the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar as the Lord commanded Moses. The flesh and the hide he burned with fire outside the camp.
Then Aaron killed the burnt offering and his sons presented the blood to him, which he sprinkled all around on the altar. Then they presented the burnt offering to Aaron with its pieces and head and he burned them on the altar. He washed the entrails and legs and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.
He brought the people’s offering and took the goat for the sin offering for the people and killed and offered it for sin, like the first one. He brought the burnt offering and offered it according to the prescribed manner. He took a handful of the grain offering and burned it on the altar, besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning. He killed the bull and the ram as sacrifices of peace offerings, which were for the people. Aaron’s sons presented the blood to him and he sprinkled it all around on the altar. The fat from the bull and the ram – the fatty tail, the fat covering the entrails and the kidneys, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver was put on the breasts. Then Aaron burned the fat on the altar. Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the Lord just as the Lord commanded Moses.
Then Aaron lifted his hand toward the people, blessed them and came down from offering the sin, burnt and peace offerings. Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. Fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.
We journey to Leviticus 10 next week.
To God Be The Glory!
