suet on the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the suet on them, and the right shoulder; and from the 26 basket of the consecration offering, which was before the Lord, he took one unleavened loaf, and one loaf of oil bread, and one 27 cake, and laid them on the suet and the right shoulder, and put them all on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and caused them to be lifted up as a dedication before the Lord. 28 Then Moses took them from their hands, and carried them up upon the altar-on the consecration whole burnt offering, 29 which is for a smell of fragrance. It is an offering of homage to the Lord. Then having taken the breast, Moses set this, which had been laid on hands before the Lord, apart from the ram of the consecration offering. And it was Moses' portion, as the Lord commanded Moses. 30 Then Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was by the altar, and sprinkled them on Aaron and his robes, and on his sons and their robes with him. And when he had hallowed Aaron and his robes, and his sons and 31 their robes with him, then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, Boil this flesh in the court of the tabernacle of the testimony, in a holy place, and eat it there with the bread which is in the basket of the consecration offering, as it hath been given me 32 in charge, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat these. And what is left of the flesh, and of the bread, you must bùrn with 33 fire. And from the door of the tabernacle of the testimony you shall not depart for seven days, until the day be compleated— the day of your consecration; for he will consecrate your hands 34 seven days, as he hath done this very day, in which the Lord hath commanded me to do this in order to make an atonement 35 for you. You shall therefore continue seven days at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. Day and night you shall keep the watches of the Lord, that you may not die; for so the Lord God hath commanded me. 36 IX. And when Aaron and his sons had done all that the Lord commanded Moses, On the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the senate of Israel, and Moses said to Aaron, 2 Take for thyself a calf from the herd for a sin offering, and a ram for a whole burnt offering, both without blemish (Now 3 he had brought them before the Lord) and speak to the senate of Israel saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb of the first year for an homage offering, 4 all without blemish, and a young bull and a ram for a sacrifice of thanksgiving before the Lord, and fine flour tempered with 5 oil; for to-day the Lord will appear among you. And when they had brought them, as Moses commanded, over against the tabernacle of the testimony, and all the congregation were 6 come, and stood before the Lord, Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded; do it, and the glory of the 7 Lord will appear among you. Then Moses said to Aaron, Go near to the altar, and offer thy own sin offering, and thy own burnt offering, and make atonement for thyself and thy house, then offer the gifts of the people, and make atonement for them, 8 as the Lord commanded Moses. Accordingly Aaron went near to the altar, and slew the calf for his own sin offering, and the 9 sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his 10 finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and having poured out the blood on the base of the altar, he carried up the suet, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver, of the sin 11 offering, upon the altar as the Lord commanded Moses, and the flesh and the skin he caused to be burned with fire without the camp. 12 Then he slew the whole burnt offering, and the sons of Aaron brought him the blood, and he poured it out against the altar 13 round about. Then they presented the whole burnt offering by 14 pieces, and these and the head he laid on the altar. He then washed the belly and the feet with water, and laid them on the whole burnt offering on the altar. 15 Then he brought forward the gift of the people, and he took the goat for the sin offering of the people, and slew it, and pu16 rified it as he had done the first. He then brought forward the whole burnt offering, and did with it in the manner prescribed. 17 Then, presenting the sacrifice of flour, he filled his hands with some of it, and laid the handful on the altar apart from the 18 morning whole burnt offering. Then he slew the young bull and the ram for the people's sacrifice of thanksgiving; and the sons of Aaron brought him the blood; and he poured it out against the altar round about. 19 And the suet of the bull and that of the ram with the loin and the caul which covereth the belly, and the two kidneys with the suet on them, and the lobe of the liver-the several parcels of 20 suet he laid on the breast, and having carried up the suet upon 21 the altar, Aaron took away the breast and the right shoulder as a portion set apart before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. Then Aaron, lifting up his hands over the people, blessed 22 them-When he came down from offering the sin offering, and 23 the whole burnt offerings, and the offerings of thanksgiving, and Moses and Aaron had gone into the tabernacle of the testimony, and come out and blessed all the people, then the glory of 24 the Lord appeared to all the people, and there came forth a fire from the Lord which consumed what were on the altar, both the whole burnt offerings and the parcels of suet. And when all the people saw this, they were struck with consternation and X. fell on their faces; and the two sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abiud, having taken each his censer, laid fire on it, and threw incense thereon, and presented before the Lord strange fire, 2 which the Lord had not ordered them; upon which a fire darted forth from the Lord, and destroyed them, and they died 3 before the Lord. Whereupon Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord spoke, saying, I will be hallowed by them who come near me, and glorified by all the congregation; and Aaron 4 was pierced with anguish. Then Moses called Misado and Elisaphan, the sons of Oziel, the sons of Aaron's uncle, and said to them, Go near and carry out your brethren from before 5 the holies, out of the camp. So they went near, and carried them, 6 in their vestures, out of the camp, as Moses ordered. Then Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar, and Ithamar, his surviving sons, Uncover not your heads, nor rend your garments, lest you die, and wrath come on the whole congregation: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail this burning with 7 which the Lord hath burned them. But you must not go from the door of the tabernacle of the testimony lest you die; for the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you. So they did according to the command of Moses. 8 And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying, Thou, and thy sons 9 with thee, must not drink wine nor strong drink, when you come into the tabernacle of the testimony, or when you ap of Israel saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb of the first year for an homage offering, 4 all without blemish, and a young bull and a ram for a sacrifice of thanksgiving before the Lord, and fine flour tempered with 5 oil; for to-day the Lord will appear among you. And when they had brought them, as Moses commanded, over against the tabernacle of the testimony, and all the congregation were 6 come, and stood before the Lord, Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded; do it, and the glory of the 7 Lord will appear among you. Then Moses said to Aaron, Go near to the altar, and offer thy own sin offering, and thy own burnt offering, and make atonement for thyself and thy house, then offer the gifts of the people, and make atonement for them, 8 as the Lord commanded Moses. Accordingly Aaron went near to the altar, and slew the calf for his own sin offering, and the 9 sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his 10 finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and having poured out the blood on the base of the altar, he carried up the suet, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver, of the sin 11 offering, upon the altar as the Lord commanded Moses, and the flesh and the skin he caused to be burned with fire without the camp. 12 Then he slew the whole burnt offering, and the sons of Aaron brought him the blood, and he poured it out against the altar 13 round about. Then they presented the whole burnt offering by 14 pieces, and these and the head he laid on the altar. He then washed the belly and the feet with water, and laid them on the whole burnt offering on the altar. 15 Then he brought forward the gift of the people, and he took the goat for the sin offering of the people, and slew it, and pu16 rified it as he had done the first. He then brought forward the whole burnt offering, and did with it in the manner prescribed. 17 Then, presenting the sacrifice of flour, he filled his hands with some of it, and laid the handful on the altar apart from the 18 morning whole burnt offering. Then he slew the young bull and the ram for the people's sacrifice of thanksgiving; and the sons of Aaron brought him the blood; and he poured it out against the altar round about. 19 And the suet of the bull and that of the ram with the loin and the caul which covereth the belly, and the two kidneys with the suet on them, and the lobe of the liver-the several parcels of 20 suet he laid on the breast, and having carried up the suet upon 21 the altar, Aaron took away the breast and the right shoulder as a portion set apart before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. Then Aaron, lifting up his hands over the people, blessed 22 them-When he came down from offering the sin offering, and 23 the whole burnt offerings, and the offerings of thanksgiving, and Moses and Aaron had gone into the tabernacle of the testimony, and come out and blessed all the people, then the glory of 24 the Lord appeared to all the people, and there came forth a fire from the Lord which consumed what were on the altar, both the whole burnt offerings and the parcels of suet.

Whereupon Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord spoke, saying, I will be hallowed by them who come near me, and glorified by all the congregation; and Aaron 4 was pierced with anguish.

But you must not go from the door of the tabernacle of the testimony lest you die; for the ⚫ anointing oil of the Lord is upon you. So they did according to the command of Moses. 8 And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying, Thou, and thy sons 9 with thee, must not drink wine nor strong drink, when you come into the tabernacle of the testimony, or when you ap |
