Leviticus 9:1-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Then, the eighth day having arrived, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and those greater by birth from Israel, and he said to Aaron:

2. "Take a calf for sin from the herd, and a ram as a holocaust, both immaculate, and offer them in the sight of the Lord.

3. And to the sons of Israel, you shall say: 'Take a he-goat for sin, and a calf as well as a lamb, both one-year-old and without blemish, as a holocaust.

4. Take also an ox and a ram for peace offerings. And immolate them before the Lord, offering with the sacrifice of each one fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil. For today the Lord will appear to you.' "

5. And so they brought everything that Moses had ordered before the door of the tabernacle, where, when all the multitude stood together,

6. Moses said: "This is the word, which the Lord has instructed. Accomplish it, and his glory will appear to you."

7. And he said to Aaron: "Approach toward the altar, and immolate on behalf of your sin. Offer the holocaust, and pray for yourself and for the people. And when you have slain the victim for the people, pray for them, just as the Lord has instructed."

8. And immediately Aaron, approaching toward the altar, immolated the calf for his sin.

9. And his sons brought its blood to him, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar, and he poured out the remainder at its base.
