¶ The fyrste offrynges of Aaron, for hym selfe and for the people. Aaron blesseth the people. The glorye of the Lorde is shewed. The fyre commynge frome aboue consumeth the sacryfyce.

CAPI. IX.

ANd the eyght daye, Moses called Aa∣ron [ A] and his sonnes, and the elders of Is¦rael, and sayd to Aaron: take a calfe for a synne offerynge, a ram for a burntofferynge: bothe without blemysshe, and bryng them be∣fore the Lorde. And vnto the children of Israel he spake, saying: take ye an he gote for a synne¦offerynge, and a calfe and a lambe bothe two of a yere olde, & without blemysshe for a burnt sacrifice, and an oxe and a ramme for peaxoffe∣rynges, to offre before the Lorde, and a meat∣offerynge myngled with oyle, for to daye the Lorde wyll appere vnto you.

[ B] And they broughte that whiche Moses commaunded vnto the tabernacle of wytnesse and all the people came and stode before the Lorde. And Moses sayde: this is that the Lorde commaunded ye sholde do: and then the glory of the Lorde shall appere vnto you. And Moses sayde vnto Aaron: Goo vnto the aulter, and offre thy synneofferynge, and make an attonement for the and the people: and then offre the offerynge of the people, and re∣concyle them also: as the Lorde commaun∣ded Moses.

And Aaron went to the aulter, and slewe the calfe that was his synneofferynge. And the sonnes of Aaron broughte the bloude vnto hym, and he dypte his fynger in the bloude, and put it vpon the hornes of the aulter, and poured the bloude vnto the bottome of the al∣ter. And the fatte and the two kydneys, with the kall of the lyuer of the synne offerynge he burnt vpon the aulter, as the Lord commaun¦ded [ C] Moses: but the flesshe and the hyde, he burnt with fyre without the hoste. Afterwarde he slewe the burntofferynge, and Aarons son∣nes brought the bloud vnto him, and he sprin∣kled it rounde aboute vpon the aulter. And they brought the burntofferynge vnto hym in peces, and the heed also, and he burnt it vpon the aulter, and dyd wasshe the inwardes, and the legges, and burnt them also vpō the burnt¦offerynge in the aulter.

And then he brought the peoples offerynge and toke the goote that was the peoples syn∣offerynge, and slewe it, and offered it for a synneofferynge: as he dyd the first. And then brought the burntofferynge, and offered it as the maner was, and brought the meatoffering and fylled his hande therof, and burnt it vpon the aulter, beside the burnt sacrifice in the mor∣nynge.

Then he slewe the oxe and the ramme that were the peoples peaceofferinges, and Aarons sonnes brought the bloude vnto hym, and he sprynckled it vpon the aulter rounde aboute, and toke the fat of the oxe and of the ramme: the rompe & the fat that couereth the inwardes and the kydneyes and the kall of the lyuer, and put them vpon the brestes and burne it [ D] vpon the aulter: but the brestes and the right shoulders Aaron waued before the Lorde, as the Lorde commaunded Moses. And Aaron lyfte vp his hande ouer the people and blessed them, and came downe from offerynge of syn∣offeringes, burntofferinges and peaxoffering{is}. Then Moses and Aaron went in to the taber∣nacle of wytnesse, and came out agayne and blessed the people, and the glorye of the Lorde appeared vnto all the people. And there came a fyre out from the Lorde, and consumed vpon the aulter, the burntofferynge and the fat. And all the people sawe it, and shoted, and fel on theyr faces.
