Aaron replied to Moses,“ Today the people sacrificed their sin offering to the Lord. They also sacrificed their burnt offerings to him. But a terrible thing has happened to me. Two of my sons have died. Would the Lord have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?”

亚伦对摩西说：“今天他们在耶和华面前献上赎罪祭和燔祭，我又遇见这样的灾，若今天吃了赎罪祭，耶和华岂能看为美呢？”

亚伦对摩西说：“看哪，他们今天在耶和华面前献上赎罪祭和燔祭，但是我却遭遇这样的灾难。我若今天吃这赎罪祭，耶和华岂能看为美呢？”

亚伦对摩西说：“看哪，他们今天在耶和华面前献上赎罪祭和燔祭，但是我却遭遇这样的灾难。我若今天吃这赎罪祭，耶和华岂能看为美呢？”

亚伦对摩西说：“看啊，他们今天向耶和华献赎罪祭和燔祭，却有这样的灾祸发生在我身上。今天我如果吃了这赎罪祭的祭肉，耶和华会悦纳吗？”

亚伦对摩西说：“今天他们在耶和华面前已经献了赎罪祭和燔祭，而且有这样的灾祸临到我；如果今天我吃了赎罪祭的祭肉，耶和华怎能看为美好呢？”

亞倫對摩西說：「今天他們在耶和華面前獻上贖罪祭和燔祭，我又遇見這樣的災，若今天吃了贖罪祭，耶和華豈能看為美呢？」

亞倫對摩西說：「看哪，他們今天在耶和華面前獻上贖罪祭和燔祭，但是我卻遭遇這樣的災難。我若今天吃這贖罪祭，耶和華豈能看為美呢？」

亞倫對摩西說：「看哪，他們今天在耶和華面前獻上贖罪祭和燔祭，但是我卻遭遇這樣的災難。我若今天吃這贖罪祭，耶和華豈能看為美呢？」

亞倫對摩西說：「看啊，他們今天向耶和華獻贖罪祭和燔祭，卻有這樣的災禍發生在我身上。今天我如果吃了這贖罪祭的祭肉，耶和華會悅納嗎？」

亞倫對摩西說：“今天他們在耶和華面前已經獻了贖罪祭和燔祭，而且有這樣的災禍臨到我；如果今天我吃了贖罪祭的祭肉，耶和華怎能看為美好呢？”

亞倫對摩西說：『今天他們獻了解罪祭和燔祭在永恆主面前，我尚且遇到了這樣的災，今天我若喫了解罪祭，永恆主哪能滿意呢？』

亞倫對曰、今日彼獻贖罪祭與燔祭於耶和華前、我遭斯事、如食贖罪之牲、豈見悅於耶和華乎、

亞倫曰、今日吾子獻贖罪之祭、與燔祭、於耶和華前、適家遭變故、如食其牲、豈見悅於耶和華乎。

亞倫謂摩西曰、今日彼獻贖罪祭與火焚祭於主前、我又遇如是之災、若食贖罪祭牲之肉、豈蒙主悅納乎、

Aaron replied to Moses,“ Today they sacrificed their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, but such things as this have happened to me. Would the Lord have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?”

And Aaron said to Moses,“ Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, and yet such things as these have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, would the Lord have approved?”

Then Aaron answered Moses,“ Today my sons presented both their sin offering and their burnt offering to the Lord. And yet this tragedy has happened to me. If I had eaten the people’s sin offering on such a tragic day as this, would the Lord have been pleased?”

But Aaron replied to Moses,“ See, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the LORD’s sight?”

But Aaron said to Moses,“ Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord. When things like these happened to me, if I had eaten a sin offering today, would it have been good in the sight of the Lord?”

And Aaron said to Moses,“ Look, this day they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, and such things have befallen me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?”

And Aaron spake unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin- offering and their burnt- offering before Jehovah; and there have befallen me such things as these: and if I had eaten the sin- offering to- day, would it have been well- pleasing in the sight of Jehovah?

But Aaron replied to Moses,“ See, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the Lord’s sight?”

And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and[ if] I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?

But Aaron spoke to Moses,“ See here! Just today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD and such things as these have happened to me! If I had eaten a sin offering today would the LORD have been pleased?”

Aaron spoke to Moses,“ Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh; and such things as these have happened to me. If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in Yahweh’s sight?”

Then he killed the animal for the burnt offering. His sons handed him its blood. He splashed it against the sides of the altar.

So Aaron came to the altar. He killed the calf as a sin offering for himself.

Here’s something else you do. You flood the Lord’ s altar with your tears. You weep and cry because your offerings don’t please him anymore. He doesn’t accept them with pleasure from your hands.

You won’t pour out wine offerings to the Lord. Your sacrifices won’t please him. They’ll be like the bread people eat when someone dies. Everyone who eats those sacrifices will be“ unclean.” They themselves will have to eat that kind of food. They can’t bring it into the Lord’ s temple.

Even if they go without food, I will not listen to their cry for help. They might sacrifice burnt offerings and grain offerings. But I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with war, hunger and plague.”

What do I care about incense from the land of Sheba? Why should I bother with sweet- smelling cane from a land far away? I do not accept your burnt offerings. Your sacrifices do not please me.”

“ You might as well shut the temple doors! Then you would not light useless fires on my altar. I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord.“ I will not accept any of the offerings you bring.

You say,‘ What a heavy load our work is!’ And you turn up your nose. You act as if you hate working for me,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ You bring animals that have been hurt. Or you bring disabled or sick animals. Then you dare to offer them to me as sacrifices! Should I accept them from you?” says the Lord.

Peninnah teased Hannah year after year. Every time Hannah would go up to the house of the Lord, Elkanah’s other wife would tease her. She would keep doing it until Hannah cried and wouldn’t eat.Her husband Elkanah would say to her,“ Hannah, why are you crying? Why don’t you eat? Why are you so unhappy? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?”

He isn’t like the other high priests. They need to offer sacrifices day after day. First they bring offerings for their own sins. Then they do it for the sins of the people. But Jesus gave one sacrifice for the sins of the people. He gave it once and for all time. He did it by offering himself.

You and your families will eat at the place the Lord your God will choose. He will be with you there. You will find joy in everything you have done. That’s because he has blessed you.

Here is what the Holy Spirit was showing us. He was telling us that God had not yet clearly shown the way into the Most Holy Room. It would not be clearly shown as long as the first holy tent was still being used.

You might spread out your hands toward me when you pray. But I do not look at you. You might even offer many prayers. But I am not listening to them. Your hands are covered with the blood of the people you have murdered.

“ Do you think I need any more of your sacrifices?” asks the Lord.“ I have more than enough of your burnt offerings. I have more than enough of rams and the fat of your fattest animals. I do not find any pleasure in the blood of your bulls, lambs and goats.

Always be joyful because you belong to the Lord. I will say it again. Be joyful!

I haven’t eaten any part of your sacred share while I mourned over someone who had died. I haven’t taken any of it from my house while I was‘ unclean.’ And I haven’t offered any of it to the dead. Lord my God, I’ve obeyed you. I’ve done everything you commanded me to do.
