Leviticus 7

1 Likewise, this is the law of the sacrifice for a transgression. It is the Holy of holies.

And this is the law of the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.

2 Therefore, where the holocaust is immolated, the victim for a transgression shall also be slain. Its blood shall be poured out all around the altar.

They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar.

3 They shall offer from it: the rump, and the fat that covers the vital organs,

And all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to be given as an offering.

4 the two little kidneys, and the fat that is near the sides, and the mesh of the liver with the little kidneys.

And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away:

5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar. It is the incense of the Lord on behalf of a transgression.

They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing.

6 Every male of priestly descent shall feed on this flesh in a holy place, because it is the Holy of holies.

Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy.

7 Just as the sacrifice for sin is offered, so also for a transgression; one law shall be for both sacrifices. It shall belong to the priest who offers it.

As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it.

8 The priest who offers the victim of holocaust shall have its skin.

And the priest offering any man's burned offering for him, may have the skin of the burned offering which is offered by him.

9 And every sacrifice of fine wheat flour which is baked in the oven, and whatever is prepared on the oven grating or in the frying pan, shall be for the priest who offers it.

And every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered.

10 Whether these will be sprinkled with oil, or left dry, an equal measure shall be divided to each one of the sons of Aaron.

And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure.

11 This is the law of the victim of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord.

And this is the law for the peace-offerings offered to the Lord.

12 If the oblation will be an act for giving thanks, they shall offer bread without leaven sprinkled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine wheat flour fried, and cakes sprinkled and mixed with oil,

If any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil.

13 and also, leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, which is immolated for peace offerings.

With his peace-offering let him give cakes of leavened bread, as a praise-offering.

14 Of these, one shall be offered to the Lord as the first-fruits, and one shall be for the priest who will pour out the blood of the victim.

And let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord; that it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the altar.

15 The flesh of it shall be eaten on the same day; neither shall any of it remain until morning.

And the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is offered; no part of it may be kept till the morning.

16 If anyone, by a vow or of his own accord, will have offered a sacrifice, it shall be eaten in a similar manner on the same day. But then if any of it will have remained until tomorrow, it is lawful to eat it.

But if his offering is made because of an oath or given freely, it may be taken as food on the day when it is offered; and the rest may be used up on the day after:

17 Then whatever will be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.

But if any of the flesh of the offering is still unused on the third day, it is to be burned with fire.

18 If anyone will have eaten from the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation will be nullified; neither will it benefit the one who offered it. But instead, whatever soul will contaminate itself with such foods will be guilty of a betrayal.

And if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day, it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who gives it; it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food.

19 The flesh that has touched anything unclean shall not be eaten, but it shall be burnt with fire. He that is clean will feed on it.

And flesh touched by any unclean thing may not be taken for food: it is to be burned with fire; and as for the flesh of the peace-offerings, everyone who is clean may take it as food:

20 If a soul which is polluted will have eaten from the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall perish from his people.

But he who is unclean when he takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.

21 And whoever will have touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of anything which is able to defile, and who will have eaten from this kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his people.

And anyone who, after touching any unclean thing of man or an unclean beast or any unclean and disgusting thing, takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.

22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And the Lord said to Moses,

23 Say to the sons of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat.

Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food.

24 The fat of a carcass that has died on its own, or of an animal that has been seized by a wild beast, you shall have for various uses.

And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food.

25 If anyone will have eaten the fat which ought to be offered as a burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish from his people.

For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people.

26 Likewise, you shall not take as food the blood of any animals at all, whether of birds or beasts.

And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses.

27 Every soul that will have eaten blood shall perish from his people.

Whoever takes any blood for food will be cut off from his people.

28 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And the Lord said to Moses,

29 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: Whoever offers a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him also offer at the same time a sacrifice, that is, its libations.

Say to the children of Israel: He who makes a peace-offering to the Lord, is to give an offering to the Lord out of his peace-offering:

30 He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. And when he will have offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,

He himself is to take to the Lord the offering made by fire, even the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

31 who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.

And the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.

32 Likewise also, the right shoulder of the victim of peace offerings shall fall to the priest as first-fruits.

And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings.

33 Among the sons of Aaron, whoever will have offered the blood and the fat, the same one shall also have the right shoulder for his portion.

That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part.

34 So then, the breast that is lifted up, and the shoulder that is separated, I have taken from the sons of Israel, from their victims of peace offerings, and I have given these to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a law in perpetuity, from all the people of Israel.

For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel.

35 This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, by the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, so that they may fulfill the priesthood,

This is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the Lord;

36 and this is what the Lord instructed to be given to them by the sons of Israel, as a perpetual observance in their generations.

Which the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to generation.

37 This is the law of the holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for transgression, and for consecration, and for the victims of peace offerings,

These are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for wrongdoing; and for the making of priests, and for the giving of peace-offerings;

38 which the Lord appointed to Moses on mount Sinai, when he commanded the sons of Israel to offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.

As they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai.
