Leviticus 7

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

And this [is] the law of the ram for the trespass-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.

In the place where they kill the whole burnt offering, they shall kill the ram of the trespass-offering before the Lord, and he shall pour out the blood at the bottom of the altar round about.

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

And he shall offer all the fat from it; and the loins, and all the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

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.

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, that which is upon the thighs, and the caul upon the liver with the kidney, he shall take them away.

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

And the priest shall offer them on the altar a burnt offering to the Lord; it is for trespass.

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

Every male of the priest shall eat them, in the holy place they shall eat them: they are 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.

As the sin-offering, so also [is] the trespass-offering. There is one law of them; the priest who shall make atonement with it, his it shall be.

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

And [as for] the priest who offers a man's whole burnt offering, the skin of the whole burnt offering which he offers, shall be his.

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,

And every sacrifice which shall be prepared in the oven, and every one which shall be prepared on the hearth, or on a frying-pan, it is the property of the priest that offers it; it shall be his.

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

And every sacrifice made up with oil, or not made up [with oil], shall belong to the sons of Aaron, an equal portion to each.

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

This [is] the law of the sacrifice of peace-offering, which they shall bring 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 a man should offer it for praise, then shall he bring, for the sacrifice of praise, loaves of fine flour made up with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and fine flour kneaded with oil.

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

With leavened bread he shall offer his gifts, with the peace-offering of praise.

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.

And he shall bring one of all his gifts, a separate offering to the Lord: it shall belong to the priest who pours forth 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.

And the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offering of praise shall be his, and it shall be eaten in the day in which it is offered: they shall not leave of it till 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.

And if it be a vow, or he offer his gift of his own will, on whatever day he shall offer his sacrifice, it shall be eaten, and on the morrow.

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

And that which is left of the flesh of the sacrifice till the third day, shall be consumed with fire.

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.

And if he do at all eat of the flesh on the third day, it shall not be accepted for him that offers: it shall not be reckoned to him, it is pollution; and whatever soul shall eat of it, shall bear his iniquity.

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.

And whatever flesh shall have touched any unclean thing, it shall not be eaten, it shall be consumed with fire; every one that is clean shall eat the flesh.

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.

And whatever soul shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offering which is the Lord's, and his uncleanness be upon him, that soul shall perish from his 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.”

And whatever soul shall touch any unclean thing, either of the uncleanness of a man, or of unclean quadrupeds, or any unclean abominable thing, and shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offering, which is the Lord's, that soul shall perish from his people.

22 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no fat of oxen or sheep or goats.

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.

And the fat of such animals as have died of themselves, or have been seized of beasts, may be employed for any work; but it shall not be eaten for food.

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.

Every one that eats fat off the beasts, from which he will bring a burnt offering to the Lord—that soul shall perish from his people.

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

You shall eat no blood in all your habitations, either of beasts or of birds.

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

Every soul that shall eat blood, that soul shall perish from his people.

28 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

You shall also speak to the children of Israel, saying, He that offers a sacrifice of peace-offering, shall bring his gift to the Lord also from the sacrifice of peace-offering.

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.

His hands shall bring the burnt offerings to the Lord; the fat which is on the breast and the lobe of the liver, he shall bring them, so as to set them for a gift before the Lord.

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

And the priest shall offer the fat upon the altar, and the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons,

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

and you shall give the right shoulder for a choice piece to the priest of your sacrifices of 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.

He that offers the blood of the peace-offering, and the fat, of the sons of Aaron, his shall be the right shoulder for a portion.

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.’”

For I have taken the wave-breast and shoulder of separation from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons, a perpetual ordinance [due] from the children of Israel.

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 anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons, [their portion] of the burnt offerings of the Lord, in the day in which he brought them forward to minister as priests to the Lord;

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.

as the Lord commanded to give to them in the day in which he anointed them of the sons of Israel, a perpetual statute through their 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,

This [is] the law of the whole burnt offerings, and of sacrifice, and of sin-offering, and of offering for transgression, and of the sacrifice of consecration, and of the sacrifice of 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.

as the Lord commanded Moses in the mount Sina, in the day in which he commanded the children of Israel to offer their gifts before the Lord in the wilderness of Sina.
