Leviticus 7

1 “These are the regulations for the guilt offering, it is most holy.

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

2 The guilt offering is to be killed where the burnt offering is killed, and the priest shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

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.

3 All the fat from it shall be offered: the fat tail, the fat that covers the insides,

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

4 both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which the priest is to remove together with the kidneys.

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

5 He shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the Lord; it is a guilt offering.

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

6 Any male among the priests may eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place, it is most holy.

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

7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the regulations are the same for both. The priest who presents the offering that ‘makes things right’ is to have it.

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.

8 In the case of ordinary burnt offerings, the priest shall have the animal's skin.

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

9 In the same way all grain offerings that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle is for the priest who presents it,

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:

10 and all grain offerings, whether they mixed with olive oil or dry, are for all of Aaron descendants.

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

11 These are the regulations for the peace offering that you may present to the Lord.

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

12 If you offer it in a spirit of thanks, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, you must offer bread, wafers, and well-kneaded cakes of the best flour all made without yeast and mixed or coated with olive oil.

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:

13 In addition your peace offering of thanksgiving of breads made without yeast, you shall present an offering of breads made with yeast.

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

14 Present one of each kind of bread of the offering as a contribution to the Lord. It is for the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.

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.

15 The meat of the sacrifice of your peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten the same day you offer it. Don't leave any of it until the morning.

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

16 If the sacrifice you're offering is to pay a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day you present your sacrifice, but what's left can be eaten the next day.

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:

17 However, any meat of the sacrifice still remaining on the third day must be burned.

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

18 If you eat any of the meat from your peace offering on the third day, it won't be accepted. You won't receive credit for offering it. In fact it will be treated as something disgusting, and anyone who eats it will bear responsibility for their guilt.

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.

19 If this meat touches anything unclean it must not be eaten; it must be burned. This meat may be eaten by those who are ceremonially clean.

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.

20 If anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering given to the Lord, they must be expelled from their people.

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.

21 Anyone who touches anything unclean, whether it's from a person, an unclean animal, or an unclean revolting thing, and then eats meat from the peace offering given to the Lord, they must be expelled from their people.”

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.

22 The Lord told Moses,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

23 “Give these instructions to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘You must not eat any of the fat of a bull, a sheep, or a goat.

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

24 You can use the fat of an animal found dead or killed by wild beasts for whatever purpose you want, but you must not eat it.

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.

25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from a food offering presented to the Lord must be expelled from their people.

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

26 You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your homes.

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

27 Anyone who eats blood must be expelled from their people.’”

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

28 The Lord told Moses,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

29 “Give these instructions to the Israelites. Tell them that if you present a peace offering to the Lord you must bring part of it as a special gift to the Lord.

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.

30 You must personally bring the food offerings to the Lord; bring the fat as well as the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the Lord.

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,

31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.

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

32 Give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.

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

33 The priest as a descendant of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the peace offering has the right thigh as his share.

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

34 I have required from the Israelites the breast of the wave offering and the contribution of the thigh from their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as their share from the Israelites for all time.”

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.

35 This is the share of the food offerings given to the Lord that belongs to Aaron and his sons since the day they were appointed to serve the Lord as priests.

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,

36 From the time they were anointed, the Lord ordered that this be given them by the sons of Israel. It is their share for future generations.

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

37 These are the regulations regarding of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering.

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

38 The Lord gave these to Moses on Mount Sinai at the time he ordered the Israelites to give their offerings to him in the Wilderness of Sinai.

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.
