Leviticus Chapter 9

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Leviticus chapter nine. When the eighth day arrived, Moses called
for arin Erin's sons and the elders of the Israelite community.
Take a young, unblemish calf for a purification offering, and
an unblemished ram for a burnt offering, and offer them
to the Eternal One. Then go instruct the Israelites. Take
a male goat for a purification offering, and an unblemished

(00:22):
calf and lamb, both a year old for a burnt offering.
Take also an ox and a ram for a peace offering,
and a grain offering mixed with oil, and offer them
to the Eternal One, for he will reveal himself to
you today. So the people gathered the sacrifices as Moses
had commanded, and brought them to the front of the
congregation tent. The entire community gathered around and stood in

(00:44):
the presence of the Eternal One. Moses says, the Eternal
One has told us to conduct this ceremony so that
his glory will be revealed to you. Approach the altar,
he said to Erin, and present your purification offering and
burnt offering. Do this for to cover the impurity of
your own life. So that you will be fit to
cover the impurity of all the people. Then present the

(01:06):
offering of the people, so that the impurity of their
lives may be covered. Do exactly as the eternal has commanded.
Aaron approached the altar and slaughtered the calf as the
purification offering for himself. Aaron's sons held the blood out
to him, and Aaron dipped his finger in the blood
and spread it on the four horns of the altar.
Then he poured the remaining blood around the base of

(01:27):
the altar. After this he removed the fat, the kidneys,
and the lobe of the liver of the purification offering
and offered them as smoke on the altar, exactly as
the eternal had commanded Moses. He took what remained of
the meat and skin and burned it up in a
fire outside the camp. Then Aaron slaughtered the burnt offering,
and his sons brought him the blood, and he splattered

(01:49):
it against the sides of the altar. Then Aaron's sons
gave him all the pieces of the burnt offering, including
the head, and he offered them up as smoke on
the altar. He washed the organs and the legs water
so nothing unacceptable would be added, and offered them with
the burnt offering as smoke on the altar. Now with
his own sins covered, Aaron was able now to offer

(02:09):
the sacrifices for the masses. So he took the goat
for the purification offering, slaughtered it, and offered it as
reparation for the people's sins. He did this in the
same way he presented the first offering. He brought the
burnt offering as well and offered it in accordance with
the ordinances God handed on to Moses. Then he presented
the grain offering, took some of it in his hand,

(02:30):
and offered it up as smoke on the altar in
addition to the morning's burnt offering. Then he slaughtered the
ox and the ram as the peace offerings for the masses.
Aaron's sons gave him the blood, and he splattered it
against the sides of the altar. The fat of the
ox and ram, the fat tail. The fat covering the intestines,
the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver. They put
on top of the breasts and offered them as smoke

(02:52):
on the altar. Aaron lifted the breasts and the right
thigh as a wave offering before the Eternal as Moses commanded.
Then Aaron ran, raised his hands in the direction of
the people and blessed them. After he had completed the
sacrifices for the purification offering, burnt offering, and peace offerings,
he descended from the altar. Moses and Aaron entered the
congregation tent. When they returned, they blessed the people, and

(03:14):
the Eternal One's glory appeared to all the people. Then
flames erupted from the presence of the Eternal One and
devoured the burnt offering and all the fat on the altar.
At the sight of this, everyone cried out and fell
on their faces.
