Leviticus 7

1 This also is the law of the sacrifice for a trespass, it is most holy:

“And this [is] a law of the guilt-offering: it [is] most holy;

2 Therefore where the holocaust is immolated, the victim also for a trespass shall be slain: the blood thereof shall be poured round about the altar.

in the place where they slaughter the burnt-offering they slaughter the guilt-offering, and he sprinkles its blood on the altar all around,

3 They shall offer thereof the rump and the fat that covereth the entrails:

and he brings near all its fat from it, the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the innards,

4 The two little kidneys, and the fat which is by the flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys.

and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, which [is] on the flanks, and the redundance on the liver above the kidneys—he turns it aside;

5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the burnt sacrifice of the Lord for a trespass.

and the priest has made them an incense on the altar, a fire-offering to YHWH; it [is] a guilt-offering.

6 Every male of the priestly race, shall eat this flesh in a holy place, because it is most holy.

Every male among the priests eats it; it is eaten in a holy place—it [is] most holy;

7 As the sacrifice for sin is offered, so is also that for a trespass: the same shall be the law of both these sacrifices: it shall belong to the priest that offereth it.

as [is] a sin-offering, so [is] a guilt-offering; one law [is] for them; the priest who makes atonement by it—it is his.

8 The priest that offereth the victim of holocaust, shall have the skin thereof.

And the priest who is bringing any man’s burnt-offering near, the skin of the burnt-offering which he has brought near, it is the priest’s, his own;

9 And every sacrifice of flour that is baked in the oven, and whatsoever is dressed on the gridiron, or in the fryingpan, shall be the priest’s that offereth it:

and every present which is baked in an oven, and all done in a frying-pan, and on a griddle, [is] the priest’s who is bringing it near; it is his;

10 Whether they be tempered with oil, or dry, all the sons of Aaron shall have one as much as another.

and every present, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron—one as another.

11 This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that is offered to the Lord.

And this [is] a law of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which [one] brings near to YHWH:

12 If the oblation be for thanksgiving, they shall offer leaves without leaven tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried, and cakes tempered and mingled with oil:

if he brings it near for a thank-offering, then he has brought near with the sacrifice of thank-offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and of stirred flour cakes mixed with oil;

13 Moreover leaves of leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanks, which is offered for peace offerings:

besides the cakes, he brings fermented bread near [with] his offering, besides the sacrifice of thank-offering of his peace-offerings;

14 Of which one shall be offered to the Lord for firstfruits, and shall be the priest’s that shall pour out the blood of the victim.

and he has brought near from it one [cake] from every offering [as] a raised-offering to YHWH for the priest who is sprinkling the blood of the peace-offerings; it is for him;

15 And the flesh of it shall be eaten the same day, neither shall any of it remain until the morning.

as for the flesh of the sacrifice of the thank-offering of his peace-offerings, it is eaten in the day of his offering; he does not leave of it until morning.

16 If any man by vow, or of his own accord offer a sacrifice, it shall in like manner be eaten the same day: and if any of it remain until the morrow, it is lawful to eat it:

And if the sacrifice of his offering [is] a vow or free-will offering, it is eaten in the day of his bringing his sacrifice near; and on the next day the remnant of it is also eaten;

17 But whatsoever shall be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.

and the remnant of the flesh of the sacrifice is burned with fire on the third day;

18 If any man eat of the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation shall be of no effect, neither shall it profit the offerer: yea rather whatsoever soul shall defile itself with such meat, shall be guilty of transgression.

and if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings is eaten at all on the third day, it is not pleasing; it is not reckoned for him who is bringing it near; it is an abomination, and the person who is eating of it bears his iniquity.

19 The flesh that hath touched any unclean thing, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire: he that is clean shall eat of it.

And the flesh which comes against any unclean thing is not eaten; it is burned with fire; as for the flesh, every clean one eats of the flesh;

20 If any one that is defiled shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall be cut off from his people.

and the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which [are] YHWH’s, and his uncleanness [is] on him, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people.

21 And he that hath touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of any thing that can defile, and shall eat of such kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his people.

And when a person comes against anything unclean, of the uncleanness of man, or of the uncleanness of beasts, or of any unclean teeming creature, and has eaten of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which [are] YHWH’s, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people.”

22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

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

“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, You do not eat any fat of ox, and sheep, and goat;

24 The fat of a carcass that hath died of itself, and of a beast that was caught by another beast, you shall have for divers uses.

and the fat of a carcass, and the fat of a torn thing, is prepared for any work, but you certainly do not eat it;

25 If any man eat the fat that should be offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish out of his people.

for whoever eats the fat of the beast, of which [one] brings near [as] a fire-offering to YHWH, indeed, the person who eats [it] has been cut off from his people.

26 Moreover you shall not eat the blood of any creature whatsoever, whether of birds or beasts.

And you do not eat any blood in all your dwellings, of bird, or of beast;

27 Every one that eateth blood, shall perish from among the people.

any person who eats any blood, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people.”

28 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer therewith a sacrifice also, that is, the libations thereof.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, He who is bringing the sacrifice of his peace-offerings near to YHWH brings in his offering to YHWH from the sacrifice of his peace-offerings;

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

his own hands bring in the fire-offerings of YHWH; the fat beside the breast—he brings it in with the breast to wave it [as] a wave-offering before YHWH.

31 Who shall burn the fat upon the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

And the priest has made incense with the fat on the altar, and the breast has been Aaron’s and his sons;

32 The right shoulder also of the victims of peace offerings shall fall to the priest for firstfruits.

and you give the right leg to the priest [as] a raised-offering of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings;

33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood, and the fat, he shall have the right shoulder also for his portion.

he from the sons of Aaron who is bringing the blood of the peace-offerings and the fat near—the right leg is for a portion for him.

34 For the breast that is elevated and the shoulder that is separated I have taken of the children of Israel, from off their victims of peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a law for ever, from all the people of Israel.

For I have taken the breast of the wave-offering and the leg of the raised-offering from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and I give them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a continuous statute, from the sons of Israel.”

35 This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, in the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, that they might do the office of priesthood,

This [is] an anointed portion [for] Aaron, and an anointed portion [for] his sons out of the fire-offerings of YHWH, in the day he has brought them near to act as priest of YHWH,

36 And the things that the Lord commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, by a perpetual observance in their generations.

which YHWH has commanded to give to them from the sons of Israel, in the day of His anointing them—a continuous statute throughout their generations.

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

This [is] the law for burnt-offering, for present, and for sin-offering, and for guilt-offering, and for consecrations, and for a sacrifice of the peace-offerings,

38 Which the Lord appointed to Moses in mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel, that they should offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.

which YHWH has commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day of His commanding the sons of Israel to bring their offerings near to YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai.
