for a sweet savor: it was an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

      ²⁹ And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: it was Moses' portion of the ram of consecration; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

      ³⁰ And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

      ³¹ And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tent of meeting: and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.

      ³² And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.

      ³³ And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration be fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days.

      ³⁴ As hath been done this day, so Jehovah hath commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

      ³⁵ And at the door of the tent of meeting shall ye abide day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Jehovah, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.

      ³⁶ And Aaron and his sons did all the things which Jehovah commanded by Moses.

      ¹ And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

      ² and he said unto Aaron, Take thee a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, without blemish, and offer them before Jehovah.

      ³ And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a he-goat for a sin-offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without blemish, for a burnt-offering;

      ⁴ and an ox and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah; and a meal-offering mingled with oil: for to-day Jehovah appeareth unto you.

      ⁵ And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before Jehovah.

      ⁷ And Moses said unto Aaron, Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people; and offer the oblation of the people, and make atonement for them; as Jehovah commanded.

      ⁸ So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself.

      ⁹ And the sons of Aaron presented the blood unto him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar:

      ¹⁰ but the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul from the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the altar; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

      ¹¹ And the flesh and the skin he burnt with fire without the camp.

      ¹² And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron's sons delivered unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about.

      ¹³ And they delivered the burnt-offering unto him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.

      ¹⁴ And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt-offering on the altar.

      ¹⁵ And he presented the people's oblation, and took the goat of the sin-offering which was for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.

      ¹⁶ And he presented the burnt-offering, and offered it according to the ordinance.

      ¹⁷ And he presented the meal-offering, and filled his hand therefrom, and burnt it upon the altar, besides the burnt-offering of the morning.

      ¹⁸ He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons delivered unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,

      ¹⁹ and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver:

      ²⁰ and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:

      ²¹ and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave-offering before Jehovah; as Moses commanded.

      ²² And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings.

      ²³ And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto all the people.

      ⁶ And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither rend your clothes; that ye die not, and that he be not wroth with all the congregation: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.

      ⁷ And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

      ⁸ And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, saying,

      ⁹ Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

      ¹⁰ and that ye may make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

      ¹¹ and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken unto them by Moses.

      ¹² And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meal-offering that remaineth of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy;

      ¹³ and ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy portion, and thy sons' portion, of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: for so I am commanded.

      ¹⁴ And the wave-breast and the heave-thigh shall ye eat
