Leviticus 9:15-24 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. And making an offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he-goat. And expiating the altar,

16. he accomplished the holocaust,

17. adding to it the sacrifice of the libations, which are to be offered together, and burning them upon the altar, separately from the ceremonies of the morning holocaust.

18. He also immolated the ox, as well as the ram, as peace offerings for the people. And his sons brought him the blood, which he poured out upon the altar all around.

19. Then the fat of the ox, and the rump of the ram, and the two little kidneys with their fat, and the mesh of the liver,

20. they placed upon the breasts. And when the fat had been burned upon the altar,

21. Aaron separated their breasts and the right shoulders, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord, as Moses had instructed.

22. And extending his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so, the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being completed, he descended.

23. Then Moses and Aaron entered the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came out and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to the entire multitude.

24. And, behold, a fire from the Lord devoured the holocaust, and the fat which was on the altar. When the crowd had seen this, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces.
