< Leviticus 6 >
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “If you sin against the Lord, breaking your commitment to him, then this is what must happen. You may have lied to your neighbor about something you were looking after for them, about some deposit paid, about something was stolen, or maybe you were trying to cheat them.
If a soul shall sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie to his neighbor, in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbor;
3 You may have found property someone lost, and you lied and made false statements about it, or you have sinned in others ways that people do in such situations.
Or hath found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
4 If you have sinned and become guilty you must return what you have stolen or cheated from your victims, the deposit you took, the lost property you found,
Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took by force, or the thing which he obtained by deceit, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
5 or anything else that must be given back that you lied about. You must pay full compensation plus a fifth of the value, and give it to the owner as soon as you accept that you are guilty of sin.
Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add to it the fifth part more, [and] give it to him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass-offering.
6 Then you must take to the priest your guilt offering for the Lord: a ram without defects of the appropriate value from the flock.
And he shall bring his trespass-offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass-offering, to the priest:
7 This is how the priest will make you right before the Lord, and you will be forgiven whatever sins you may have done that you are guilty of.”
And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
9 “Give Aaron and his sons these instructions regarding the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to be left on the fireplace of the altar throughout night until morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.
Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This [is] the law of the burnt-offering: It [is] the burnt-offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
10 The priest shall put on his linen clothes and underwear, and he shall take from the altar the greasy ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has burned up and set them down beside the altar.
And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
11 Then he has to change his clothes, and take the ashes outside the camp to a place that's ceremonially clean.
And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp to a clean place.
12 The fire on the altar must be kept burning—don't let it go out. Each morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, carefully place the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat parts of the peace offerings on it.
And the fire upon the altar shall be burning on it; it shall not be extinguished: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt-offering in order upon it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace-offerings.
13 The fire must always be kept burning on the altar continually—don't let it go out.
The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
14 These are the regulations for the grain offering: Aaron's sons are to present it before the Lord, in front of the altar.
And this [is] the law of the meat-offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.
15 The priest shall remove a handful of the best flour mixed with olive oil, as well as all the frankincense from the grain offering, and burn the ‘reminder part’ on the altar to be to be accepted by the Lord.
And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat-offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which [is] upon the meat-offering, and shall burn [it] upon the altar [for] a sweet savor, [even] the memorial of it, to the LORD.
16 The rest is for Aaron and his sons to eat. It must be eaten without yeast in a holy place—the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
And the remainder of it shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.
17 It must not be baked with yeast. I have provided it as their share of my food offerings. It is most holy, just like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it [to them for] their portion of my offerings made by fire; It [is] most holy, as [is] the sin-offering, and as the trespass-offering.
18 Any of Aaron's male descendants may eat it. This is a permanent allowance from the food offerings to the Lord for future generations. Whatever touches them shall become holy.”
All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. [It shall be] a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
20 “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons are to present to the Lord when they're anointed: a tenth of an ephah of best flour as a usual grain offering, half in the morning and half in the evening.
This [is] the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat-offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half of it at night.
21 Cook it with olive oil on a griddle. Bring it well-kneaded and present it as a grain offering broken into pieces, to be accepted by the Lord.
In a pan it shall be made with oil; [and when it is] baked, thou shalt bring it in: [and] the baked pieces of the meat-offering shalt thou offer [for] a sweet savor to the LORD.
22 It is to be cooked by the priest who is one of Aaron's descendants and who is to be anointed to take his place. In this case since it is permanently allocated to the Lord, it must be burned completely.
And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: [it is] a statute for ever to the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt.
23 Every grain offering for a priest is to be burned completely. It must not be eaten.”
For every meat-offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
25 “Tell Aaron and his sons that these are the regulations for the sin offering. The sin offering is to be killed where the burnt offering is killed before the Lord, and it is most holy.
Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This [is] the law of the sin-offering: In the place where the burnt-offering is killed shall the sin-offering be killed before the LORD: it [is] most holy.
26 The priest who offers the sin offering is to eat it. It must be eaten without yeast in a holy place—the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
27 Whatever touches it shall become holy and if any of the blood is splashed on clothing, you must wash it in a holy place.
Whatever shall touch the flesh of it shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of its blood upon any garment, thou shalt wash that on which it was sprinkled in the holy place.
28 The clay pot used to boil the sin offering must be broken. If it's boiled in a bronze pot, the pot must be thoroughly cleaned and washed out with water.
But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken: and if it shall be boiled in a brazen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
29 Any male among the priests may eat it, it is most holy.
All the males among the priests shall eat of it: it [is] most holy.
30 But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been taken into the Tent of Meeting to as a means to make things right in the Holy Place. In that case it must be burned.”
And no sin-offering, of which [any] of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to make reconciliation in the holy [place], shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
