Leviticus Chapter 8

1 his own hands shall bring the offerings of Jehovah made by fire; the fat with the breast shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave-offering before Jehovah.

2 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar; but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

3 And the right thigh shall ye give unto the priest for a heave-offering out of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings.

4 He among the sons of Aaron that offereth the blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion.

5 For the wave-breast and the heave-thigh have I taken of the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons as

6 their portion for ever from the children of Israel.

7 This is the anointing-portion of Aaron, and the anointing-portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto Jehovah in the priest’s office;

8 which Jehovah commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is

9 their portion for ever throughout their generations.

10 This is the law of the burnt-offering, of the meal-offering, and of the sin-offering, and of the trespass-offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace-offerings;

11 which Jehovah commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai.

12 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

13 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;

14 and assemble thou all the congregation at the door of the tent of meeting.

15 And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the tent of meeting.

16 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded to be done.

17 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.

18 And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.

19 And he placed the breastplate upon him: and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim.

20 And he set the mitre upon his head; and upon the mitre, in front, did he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

21 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.

22 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them.

23 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.

24 And Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and clothed them with coats, and girded them with girdles, and bound head-tires upon them; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

25 And he brought the bullock of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock of the sin-offering.

26 And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.

27 And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it upon the altar.

28 But the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

29 And he presented the ram of the burnt-offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

30 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

31 And he cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

32 And he washed the inwards and the legs with water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt-offering for a sweet savor: it was an offering made by fire unto Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

33 And he presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

34 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood thereof, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.

35 And he brought Aaron’s sons; and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

36 And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh:

8 And he put the breastplate on it, and put on the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim;

9 and he put the turban upon his head; and upon the turban, on the front of it, he put the golden plate, the holy diadem; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons near and clothed them with the vests, and girded them with the girdles, and bound the high caps on them, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

14 And he brought near the bullock for the sin-offering; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bullock for the sin-offering;

15 and he slaughtered [it], and Moses took the blood, and put [it] on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and cleansed the altar from sin, and the blood he poured at the bottom of the altar, and hallowed it, making atonement for it.

16 And he took all the fat that was on the inwards, and the net of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned [them] on the altar.

22 And he presented the second ram, the ram of consecration; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram;

24 and he brought Aaron's sons near, and Moses put of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

25 And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the inwards, and the net of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right shoulder;

26 and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before Jehovah he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat and upon the right shoulder;

27 and he gave all into Aaron's hands, and into his sons' hands, and waved them as a wave-offering before Jehovah.

28 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burned [them] on the altar, over the burnt-offering: they were a consecration-offering for a sweet odour: it was an offering by fire to Jehovah.

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

30 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood that was on the altar, and sprinkled [it] on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him; and hallowed Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

31 And Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting; and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the consecration-offering, 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 entrance of the tent of meeting seven days, until the day when the days of your consecration are at an end: for seven days shall ye be consecrated.

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

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

2 Tolle Aaron cum filiis suis, vestes eorum, et unctionis oleum, vitulum pro peccato, duos arietes, canistrum cum azymis,

3 et congregabis omnem cœtum ad ostium tabernaculi.

4 Fecit Moyses ut Dominus imperaverat. Congregataque omni turba ante fores tabernaculi,

5 ait: Iste est sermo, quem iussit Dominus fieri.

6 Statimque obtulit Aaron et filios eius. Cumque lavisset eos,

7 vestivit pontificem subucula linea, accingens eum balteo, et induens eum tunica hyacinthina, et desuper humerale imposuit,

8 quod astringens cingulo aptavit rationali, in quo erat Doctrina et Veritas.

9 Cidari quoque texit caput: et super eam, contra frontem, posuit laminam auream consecratam in sanctificatione, sicut præceperat ei Dominus.

10 Tulit et unctionis oleum, quo linivit tabernaculum cum omni supellectili sua.

11 Cumque sanctificans aspersisset altare septem vicibus, unxit illud, et omnia vasa eius, labrumque cum basi sua sanctificavit oleo.

12 Quod fundens super caput Aaron, unxit eum, et consecravit:

13 filios quoque eius oblatos vestivit tunicis lineis, et cinxit balteis, imposuitque mitras, ut iusserat Dominus.

14 Obtulit et vitulum pro peccato. cumque super caput eius posuisset Aaron, et filii eius manus suas,

15 immolavit eum: hauriens sanguinem, et tincto digito, tetigit cornua altaris per gyrum. quo expiato et sanctificato, fudit reliquum sanguinem ad fundamenta eius.

16 Adipem vero qui erat super vitalia, et reticulum iecoris, duosque renunculos, cum arvinulis suis adolevit super altare:

17 vitulum cum pelle, et carnibus, et fimo, cremans extra castra, sicut præceperat Dominus.

18 Obtulit et arietem in holocaustum: super cuius caput cum imposuissent Aaron et filii eius manus suas,

19 immolavit eum, et fudit sanguinem eius per circuitum altaris.

20 Ipsumque arietem in frusta concidens, caput eius, et artus, et adipem adolevit igni,

21 lotis prius intestinis et pedibus. totumque simul arietem incendit super altare, eo quod esset holocaustum suavissimi odoris Domino, sicut præceperat ei.

22 Obtulit et arietem secundum, in consecratione sacerdotum: posueruntque super caput eius Aaron et filii eius manus suas.

23 quem cum immolasset Moyses, sumens de sanguine eius, tetigit extremum auriculæ dextræ Aaron, et pollicem manus eius dextræ, similiter et pedis.

24 Obtulit et filios Aaron. cumque de sanguine arietis immolati tetigisset extremum auriculæ singulorum dextræ, et pollices manus ac pedis dextri, reliquum fudit super altare per circuitum:

25 adipem vero, et caudam, omnemque pinguedinem quæ operit intestina, reticulumque iecoris, et duos renes cum adipibus suis, et armo dextro separavit.

26 Tollens autem de canistro azymorum, quod erat coram Domino, panem absque fermento, et collyridam conspersam oleo, laganumque posuit super adipes, et armum dextrum,

27 tradens simul omnia Aaron et filiis eius. Qui postquam levaverunt ea coram Domino,

28 rursum suscepta de manibus eorum, adolevit super altare holocausti, eo quod consecrationis esset oblatio, in odorem suavitatis, sacrificii Domino.

29 Tulitque pectusculum elevans illud coram Domino, de ariete consecrationis in partem suam, sicut præceperat ei Dominus.

30 Assumensque unguentum, et sanguinem qui erat in altari, aspersit super Aaron et vestimenta eius, et super filios illius ac vestes eorum.

31 Cumque sanctificasset eos in vestitu suo, præcepit eis, dicens: Coquite carnes ante fores tabernaculi, et ibi comedite eas. panes quoque consecrationis edite, qui positi sunt in canistro, sicut præcepit mihi Dominus, dicens: Aaron et filii eius comedent eos:

32 quidquid autem reliquum fuerit de carne et panibus, ignis absumet.

33 De ostio quoque tabernaculi non exibitis septem diebus, usque ad diem quo complebitur tempus consecrationis vestræ. septem enim diebus finitur consecratio:

34 sicut et impræsentiarum factum est, ut ritus sacrificii compleretur.

35 Die ac nocte manebitis in tabernaculo observantes custodias Domini, ne moriamini: sic enim mihi præceptum est.

36 Feceruntque Aaron et filii eius cuncta quæ locutus est Dominus per manum Moysi.

8 He placed the breastplate on him. He put the Urim and Thummim in the breastplate.

9 He set the turban on his head. He set the golden plate, the holy crown, on the front of the turban, as the LORD commanded Moses.

16 He took all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it on the altar.

17 But the bull, and its skin, and its meat, and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp, as the LORD commanded Moses.

27 He put all these in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.

28 Moses took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar on the burnt offering. They were a consecration offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to the LORD.

29 Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD. It was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration, as the LORD commanded Moses.

31 Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat 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 What remains of the meat and of the bread you shall burn with fire.

33 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days.

34 What has been done today, so the LORD has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

35 You shall stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night seven days, and keep the LORD’s command, that you don’t die: for so I am commanded.”

31 And Moses saith unto Aaron, and unto his sons, `Boil ye the flesh at the opening of the tent of meeting, and there ye do eat it and the bread which <FI>is<Fi> in the basket of the consecrations, as I have commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons do eat it.

32 `And the remnant of the flesh and of the bread with fire ye burn;

33 and from the opening of the tent of meeting ye go not out seven days, till the day of the fulness, the days of your consecration--for seven days he doth consecrate your hand;

34 as he hath done on this day, Jehovah hath commanded to do, to make atonement for you;

35 and at the opening of the tent of meeting ye abide, by day and by night seven days, and ye have kept the charge of Jehovah, and die not, for so I have been commanded.'

36 And Aaron doth--his sons also--all the things which Jehovah hath commanded by the hand of Moses.

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!

Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
