Leviticus 7

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

And this, is the law of the guilt-bearer, —most holy, it is!

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 slay the ascending-sacrifice, shall they slay the guilt-bearer; and, the blood thereof, shall one dash against the altar, round about;

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

and, as for all the fat thereof, one shall bring near therefrom, —the fat-tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards;

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, with the fat that is upon them, which is upon the loins, —and the caul upon the liver, up to the kidneys, shall he remove it.

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

And the priest shall make a perfume with them at the altar, an altar-flame unto Yahweh—a guilt-bearer, it is,

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

Any male among the priests, may eat thereof, —in a holy place, shall it be eaten, most holy, it is.

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 the sin-bearer, so the guilt-bearer, —one law, for them, —the priest who maketh a propitiatory-covering, therewith, —to him, shall it belong,

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

And, as for the priest who bringeth near the ascending-sacrifice of any man, the skin of the ascending-sacrifice which he hath brought near, to the priest himself, shall it belong.

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 as for any meal-offering that may be baked in an oven, or anything that hath been prepared in a boiler or on a girdle, to the priest that bringeth it near—to him, shall it belong,

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

And, as for any meal-offering overflowed with oil or dry, —to all the sons of Aaron, shall it belong, to one as much as to another.

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

And, this, is the law of the peace-offering which one may bring near unto Yahweh.

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, for thanksgiving, he bring it near, then shall he bring near, with the thanksgiving sacrifice perforated cakes unleavened, overflowed with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil, —and of fine flour moistened, perforated cakes overflowed with oil.

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

With perforated cakes of leavened bread, shall he bring near his oblation, with his peace-offering of thanksgiving,

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.

Then shall he bring near therefrom one of each oblation, a heave-offering unto Yahweh, —to the priest who dasheth [against the altar] the blood of the peace-offering—to him, shall it belong.

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

But, as for the flesh of his peace-offering of thanksgiving, on the day of bringing it near, shall it be eaten, —he shall not leave thereof 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:

But, if, a vow or a freewill offering, be his sacrifice of oblation, in the day he bringeth near his sacrifice, shall it be eaten, and on the morrow, then may the remainder thereof, be eaten;

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

but as for the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice, on the third day—in fire, shall it be consumed.

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 his peace-offering, be at all eaten, on the third day, he that brought it near [shall not be accepted] it shall not be reckoned to him, unclean, shall it be, —and the person who shall eat thereof, shall bear 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 that toucheth anything unclean, shall not be eaten, in fire, shall it be consumed, —but, as for the [other] flesh, any one who is clean, may eat 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.

But as for the person who shall eat flesh from the peace-offering, which pertaineth unto Yahweh, while his uncleanness is on him, then shall that person be cut off from among his kinsfolk.

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.

Yea, as for, any person, whensoever he shall touch anything unclean—the uncleanness of man or an unclean beast, or any unclean disgusting thing, —and then eateth of the flesh of a peace-offering that pertaineth unto Yahweh, then shall that person be cut off from among his kinsfolk.

22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And Yahweh spake unto 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 unto the sons of Israel, saying, —No fat, of ox or sheep or goat, shall ye eat:

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 though the fat of what dieth of itself and the fat of that which has been torn in pieces, may be used for any other service, yet shall ye, in nowise 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.

Nay, as touching any one who eateth the fat of any beast, wherefrom he might bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh, then shall the person that eateth be cut off from among his kinsfolk.

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

And no manner of blood, shall ye eat, in any of your dwellings, —whether of bird or of beast:

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

as touching any person who eateth any manner of blood, then shall that person be cut off from among his kinsfolk.

28 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And Yahweh spake unto 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 unto the sons of Israel saying, —He that offereth his peace-offering unto Yahweh, shall bring in his own oblation unto Yahweh out of his peace-offering:

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 shall bring in the altar-flames of Yahweh, —the fat with the breast, he shall bring it in, the breast, to wave it as a wave-offering before Yahweh.

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

Then shall the priest make a perfume with the fat at the altar, —and the breast shall be for Aaron and for his sons.

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

But, the right shoulder, shall ye give as a heave-offering, unto the priest, —from among 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 that bringeth near the blood of the peace-offerings and the fat from among the sons of Aaron, to him, shall belong the right shoulder for a portion.

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, the wave-breast and the heave-shoulder, have I taken of the sons of Israel, out of their peace-offerings, —and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons as an age-abiding 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 what pertaineth to the anointing of Aaron and to the anointing of his sons out of the altar-flames of Yahweh, —[granted] in the day when he brought them near, to minister as priests unto Yahweh:

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 Yahweh commanded to give them in the day when he anointed them, from among the sons of Israel, —an age-abiding statute to 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 the ascending-sacrifice, for the meal-offering, and for the sin-bearer, and for the guilt-bearer, —and for the installation-offerings, and for the peace-offering:

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 Yahweh commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, —in the day when he commanded the sons of Israel to bring near their oblations unto Yahweh in the desert of Sinai.
