Majority Standard Bible
1 On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel.
2 He said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and present them before the LORD.
3 Then speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering, a calf and a lamb—both a year old and without blemish—for a burnt offering,
4 an ox and a ram for a peace offering to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today the LORD will appear to you.’”
5 So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and the whole congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
6 And Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.”
7 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering to make atonement for yourself and for the people. And sacrifice the people’s offering to make atonement for them, as the LORD has commanded.”
8 So Aaron approached the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself.
9 The sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and applied it to the horns of the altar. And he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
10 On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
11 But he burned up the flesh and the hide outside the camp.
12 Then Aaron slaughtered the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it on all sides of the altar.
13 They brought him the burnt offering piece by piece, including the head, and he burned them on the altar.
14 He washed the entrails and the legs and burned them atop the burnt offering on the altar.
15 Aaron then presented the people’s offering. He took the male goat for the people’s sin offering, slaughtered it, and offered it for sin like the first one.
16 He presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.
17 Next he presented the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning’s burnt offering.
18 Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram as the people’s peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it on all sides of the altar.
19 They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver—
20 and placed these on the breasts. Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar,
21 but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses had commanded.
22 Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them. And having made the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down.
23 Moses and Aaron then entered the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.
24 Fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.
KJV
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 young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer [them] before the LORD.
3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, [both] of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.
5 And they brought [that] which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
6 And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
8 ¶ Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which [was] for himself.
9 And the sons of Aaron brought 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 bottom of the altar:
10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.
11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
13 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt [them] upon the altar.
14 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt [them] upon the burnt offering on the altar.
15 And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which [was] the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
17 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt [it] upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
18 He slew also the bullock and the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings, which [was] for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul [above] 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 shoulder Aaron waved [for] a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23 ¶ And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
24 And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: [which] when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

Aaron's first sacrifice is consumed by fire.
1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called unto Aaron, and to his sons, and to the elders of Israel.
2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without change, and bring them before the LORD.
3 And speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Take a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a sheep, both of them of the first year, and without change, for a burnt offering;
4 And an ox and a ram for a peace offering, to offer before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil. For this day shall the LORD appear unto you.
5 And they took that which Moses commanded at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And all the congregation came near, and stood before the LORD.
6 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded that ye should do, and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Come near unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and afterward make an offering of the people, and make an atonement for them also, as the LORD commanded.
8 And Aaron came unto the altar, and slew the calf for his sin offering.
9 And his sons brought 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 bottom of the altar.
10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar, as the LORD commanded Moses.
11 And the flesh and the skin burnt he with fire without the camp.
12 And afterward he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons brought the blood unto him, and he sprinkled it round about upon the altar.
13 And they brought the burnt offering unto him in pieces, and the head; and he burnt it upon the altar.
14 And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering that was upon the altar.
15 And afterward he brought the sacrifice of the people, and took the goat, the sin offering of the people, and slew it, and made it a sin offering like unto the first.
16 And he brought the burnt offering, and did him his due.
17 And he brought the meat offering, and took his handful, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt offering of the morning.
18 And afterward he slew the bullock and the ram for the peace offerings of the people. And his sons brought him the blood; and he sprinkled it round about upon the altar.
19 And the fat of the bullock, and the fat of the ram, and the tail, and the fat of the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver,
20 And they put all this fat upon the breast: and he burnt the fat upon the altar.
21 But the breast and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And Aaron lifted up his hand unto the people, and blessed them: and when he had made the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, he came down.
23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out again, and blessed the people. And the glory of the LORD shone unto all the people.
24 For the fire came out from the LORD, and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar. And when all the people saw it, they rejoiced, and fell on their faces.
