Leviticus 7

1 “Now this is the law of the guilt offering, which is most holy:

“These are the regulations for the guilt offering, it is most holy.

2 The guilt offering must be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and the priest shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

The guilt offering is to be killed where the burnt offering is killed, and the priest shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

3 And all the fat from it shall be offered: the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails,

All the fat from it shall be offered: the fat tail, the fat that covers the insides,

4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.

both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which the priest is to remove together with the kidneys.

5 The priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.

He shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the Lord; it is a guilt offering.

6 Every male among the priests may eat of it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

Any male among the priests may eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place, it is most holy.

7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the same law applies to both. It belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it.

The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the regulations are the same for both. The priest who presents the offering that ‘makes things right’ is to have it.

8 As for the priest who presents a burnt offering for anyone, the hide of that offering belongs to him.

In the case of ordinary burnt offerings, the priest shall have the animal's skin.

9 Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it,

In the same way all grain offerings that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle is for the priest who presents it,

10 and every grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.

and all grain offerings, whether they mixed with olive oil or dry, are for all of Aaron descendants.

11 Now this is the law of the peace offering that one may present to the LORD:

These are the regulations for the peace offering that you may present to the Lord.

12 If he offers it in thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.

If you offer it in a spirit of thanks, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, you must offer bread, wafers, and well-kneaded cakes of the best flour all made without yeast and mixed or coated with olive oil.

13 Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread.

In addition your peace offering of thanksgiving of breads made without yeast, you shall present an offering of breads made with yeast.

14 From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contribution to the LORD. It belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.

Present one of each kind of bread of the offering as a contribution to the Lord. It is for the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.

15 The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day he offers it; none of it may be left until morning.

The meat of the sacrifice of your peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten the same day you offer it. Don't leave any of it until the morning.

16 If, however, the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, but the remainder may be eaten on the next day.

If the sacrifice you're offering is to pay a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day you present your sacrifice, but what's left can be eaten the next day.

17 But any meat of the sacrifice remaining until the third day must be burned up.

However, any meat of the sacrifice still remaining on the third day must be burned.

18 If any of the meat from his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presented it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

If you eat any of the meat from your peace offering on the third day, it won't be accepted. You won't receive credit for offering it. In fact it will be treated as something disgusting, and anyone who eats it will bear responsibility for their guilt.

19 Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for any other meat, anyone who is ceremonially clean may eat it.

If this meat touches anything unclean it must not be eaten; it must be burned. This meat may be eaten by those who are ceremonially clean.

20 But if anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.

If anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering given to the Lord, they must be expelled from their people.

21 If one touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable thing, and then eats any of the meat of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.”

Anyone who touches anything unclean, whether it's from a person, an unclean animal, or an unclean revolting thing, and then eats meat from the peace offering given to the Lord, they must be expelled from their people.”

22 Then the LORD said to Moses,

The Lord told Moses,

23 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘You are not to eat any of the fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

“Give these instructions to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘You must not eat any of the fat of a bull, a sheep, or a goat.

24 The fat of an animal found dead or mauled by wild beasts may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.

You can use the fat of an animal found dead or killed by wild beasts for whatever purpose you want, but you must not eat it.

25 If anyone eats the fat of an animal from which an offering made by fire may be presented to the LORD, the one who eats it must be cut off from his people.

Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from a food offering presented to the Lord must be expelled from their people.

26 You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your dwellings.

You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your homes.

27 If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.’”

Anyone who eats blood must be expelled from their people.’”

28 Then the LORD said to Moses,

The Lord told Moses,

29 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Anyone who presents a peace offering to the LORD must bring it as his sacrifice to the LORD.

“Give these instructions to the Israelites. Tell them that if you present a peace offering to the Lord you must bring part of it as a special gift to the Lord.

30 With his own hands he is to bring the offerings made by fire to the LORD; he shall bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the LORD.

You must personally bring the food offerings to the Lord; bring the fat as well as the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the Lord.

31 The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.

The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.

32 And you are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.

Give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.

33 The son of Aaron who presents the blood and fat of the peace offering shall have the right thigh as a portion.

The priest as a descendant of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the peace offering has the right thigh as his share.

34 I have taken from the sons of Israel the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion from the sons of Israel.’”

I have required from the Israelites the breast of the wave offering and the contribution of the thigh from their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as their share from the Israelites for all time.”

35 This is the portion of the offerings made by fire to the LORD for Aaron and his sons since the day they were presented to serve the LORD as priests.

This is the share of the food offerings given to the Lord that belongs to Aaron and his sons since the day they were appointed to serve the Lord as priests.

36 On the day they were anointed, the LORD commanded that this be given them by the sons of Israel. It is a permanent portion for the generations to come.

From the time they were anointed, the Lord ordered that this be given them by the sons of Israel. It is their share for future generations.

37 This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering,

These are the regulations regarding of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering.

38 which the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai.

The Lord gave these to Moses on Mount Sinai at the time he ordered the Israelites to give their offerings to him in the Wilderness of Sinai.
