Leviticus 7

1 And this [is] the law of the ram for the trespass-offering; it is most holy.

This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy.

2 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.

They must kill the guilt offering in the place for killing it, and they must sprinkle its blood against every side of the altar.

3 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,

All the fat in it will be offered: the fat tail, the fat that is over the inner parts,

4 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.

the two kidneys and the fat on them, which is next to the loins, and what covers the liver, with the kidneys—all this must be removed.

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

The priest must burn these parts on the altar as an offering made with fire to Yahweh. This is the guilt offering.

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

Every male among the priests may eat part of this offering. It must be eaten in a holy place because it is most holy.

7 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.

The sin offering is like the guilt offering. The same law applies to both of them. They belong to the priest who makes atonement with them.

8 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.

The priest who offers anyone's burnt offering may have for himself the hide of that offering.

9 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.

Every grain offering that is baked in an oven, and every such offering that is cooked in a frying pan or in a baking pan will belong to the priest who offers it.

10 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.

Every grain offering, either dry or mixed with oil, will belong equally to all the descendants of Aaron.

11 This [is] the law of the sacrifice of peace-offering, which they shall bring to the Lord.

This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which people will offer to Yahweh.

12 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.

If anyone offers it in order to give thanks, then he must offer it with a sacrifice of cakes made without yeast, but mixed with oil, of cakes made without yeast, but spread with oil, and of cakes made with fine flour that is mixed with oil.

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

Also for the purpose of giving thanks, he must offer with his peace offering cakes of bread made with yeast.

14 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.

He is to offer one of each kind of these sacrifices as an offering presented to Yahweh. It will belong to the priests who sprinkle the blood of the peace offerings onto the altar.

15 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.

The person presenting a peace offering for the purpose of giving thanks must eat the meat of his offering on the day of the sacrifice. He must not leave any of it until the next morning.

16 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.

But if the sacrifice of his offering is for the purpose of a vow, or for the purpose of a freewill offering, the meat must be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, but whatever remains of it may be eaten on the next day.

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

However, whatever meat of the sacrifice remains on the third day must be burned.

18 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.

If any of the meat of the sacrifice of one's peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, neither will it be credited to the one who offered it. It will be a disgusting thing, and the person who eats it will carry the guilt of his sin.

19 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.

Any meat that touches an unclean thing must not be eaten. It must be burned. As for the rest of the meat, anyone who is clean may eat it.

20 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.

However, an unclean person who eats any meat from the sacrifice of a peace offering that belongs to Yahweh—that person must be cut off from his people.

21 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.

If anyone touches any unclean thing—whether uncleanness of man, or of unclean beast, or of some unclean and disgusting thing, and if he then eats some of the meat of a sacrifice of peace offering that belongs to Yahweh, that person must be cut off from his people.'”

22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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

“Speak to the people of Israel and say, 'You must eat no fat of an ox or a sheep or a goat.

24 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.

The fat of an animal that died without being a sacrifice, or the fat of an animal torn by wild animals, may be used for other purposes, but you must certainly not eat it.

25 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.

Whoever eats the fat of an animal that men can offer as a sacrifice by fire to Yahweh, that person must be cut off from his people.

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

You must eat no blood whatsoever in any of your houses, whether it is from a bird or an animal.

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

Whoever eats any blood, that person must be cut off from his people.'”

28 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

29 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.

“Speak to the people of Israel and say, 'He who offers the sacrifice of a peace offering to Yahweh must bring part of his sacrifice to Yahweh.

30 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.

The offering for Yahweh to be made by fire, his own hands must bring it. He must bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before Yahweh.

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

The priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his descendants.

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

You must give the right thigh to the priest as an offering presented out of the sacrifice of your peace offerings.

33 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.

The priest, one of Aaron's descendants, who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat—he will have the right thigh as his share of the offering.

34 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.

For I have taken from the people of Israel, the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh that is the contribution, and they have been given to Aaron the priest and his sons as their regular share.

35 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;

This is the share for Aaron and his descendants from the offerings for Yahweh made by fire, on the day when Moses presented them to serve Yahweh in the work of priest.

36 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.

This is the share that Yahweh commanded to be given them from the people of Israel, on the day that he anointed the priests. It will always be their share throughout all generations.

37 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;

This is the law of the burnt offering, of the grain offering, of the sin offering, of the guilt offering, of the consecration offering, and of the sacrifice of peace offerings,

38 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.

about which Yahweh gave commands to Moses on Mount Sinai on the day that he commanded the people of Israel to offer their sacrifices to Yahweh in the wilderness of Sinai.'”
