Complete Jewish Bible

Parashah 26: Sh’mini (Eighth) 9:1–11:47

9 On the eighth day, Moshe called Aharon, his sons and the leaders of Isra’el, ² and said to Aharon, “Take a male calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without defect, and offer them before Adonai. ³ Then tell the people of Isra’el, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering and a calf and a lamb, both a year old and without defect, for a burnt offering, ⁴ and an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Adonai; also a grain offering mixed with olive oil — because today Adonai is going to appear to you.’” ⁵ They brought what Moshe had ordered before the tent of meeting, and the whole community approached and stood before Adonai.

⁶ Moshe said, “This is what Adonai has ordered you to do, so that the glory of Adonai will appear to you.” ⁷ Moshe told Aharon, “Approach the altar, offer your sin offering and burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and the people. Then present the offering of the people and make atonement for them, as Adonai ordered.”
