Leviticus 7

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

This is the law of the guilt offering. 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.

They must kill the guilt offering in the place for killing it, and they must sprinkle its blood against every side of the altar.

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

All the fat in it will be offered: the fat tail, the fat that is over the inner parts,

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 kidneys and the fat on them, which is next to the loins, and what covers the liver, with the kidneys—all this must be removed.

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

The priest must burn these parts on the altar as an offering made with fire to Yahweh. This is the guilt offering.

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

Every male among the priests may eat part of this offering. It must be eaten 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.

The sin offering is like the guilt offering. The same law applies to both of them. They belong to the priest who makes atonement with them.

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

The priest who offers anyone's burnt offering may have for himself the hide of that offering.

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,

Every grain offering that is baked in an oven, and every such offering that is cooked in a frying pan or in a baking pan will belong to the priest who offers it.

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

Every grain offering, either dry or mixed with oil, will belong equally to all the descendants of Aaron.

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 which people will offer to Yahweh.

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 anyone offers it in order to give thanks, then he must offer it with a sacrifice of cakes made without yeast, but mixed with oil, of cakes made without yeast, but spread with oil, and of cakes made with fine flour that is mixed 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.

Also for the purpose of giving thanks, he must offer with his peace offering cakes of bread made with yeast.

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.

He is to offer one of each kind of these sacrifices as an offering presented to Yahweh. It will belong to the priests who sprinkle the blood of the peace offerings onto the altar.

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.

The person presenting a peace offering for the purpose of giving thanks must eat the meat of his offering on the day of the sacrifice. He must not leave any of it until the next 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.

But if the sacrifice of his offering is for the purpose of a vow, or for the purpose of a freewill offering, the meat must be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, but whatever remains of it may be eaten on the next day.

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

However, whatever meat of the sacrifice remains on the third day must be burned.

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 of the meat of the sacrifice of one's peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, neither will it be credited to the one who offered it. It will be a disgusting thing, and the person who eats it will carry the guilt of his sin.

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.

Any meat that touches an unclean thing must not be eaten. It must be burned. As for the rest of the meat, anyone who is clean may eat it.

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

However, an unclean person who eats any meat from the sacrifice of a peace offering that belongs to Yahweh—that person must 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.”

If anyone touches any unclean thing—whether uncleanness of man, or of unclean beast, or of some unclean and disgusting thing, and if he then eats some of the meat of a sacrifice of peace offering that belongs to Yahweh, that person must be cut off from his people.'”

22 The Lord told Moses,

Then Yahweh 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.

“Speak to the people of Israel and say, 'You must eat no fat of an ox or a sheep or a goat.

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 an animal that died without being a sacrifice, or the fat of an animal torn by wild animals, may be used for other purposes, but you must certainly not eat it.

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

Whoever eats the fat of an animal that men can offer as a sacrifice by fire to Yahweh, that person must be cut off from his people.

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

You must eat no blood whatsoever in any of your houses, whether it is from a bird or an animal.

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

Whoever eats any blood, that person must be cut off from his people.'”

28 The Lord told Moses,

So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

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 people of Israel and say, 'He who offers the sacrifice of a peace offering to Yahweh must bring part of his sacrifice to Yahweh.

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.

The offering for Yahweh to be made by fire, his own hands must bring it. He must bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before Yahweh.

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

The priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his descendants.

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

You must give the right thigh to the priest as an offering presented out of the sacrifice of your peace offerings.

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.

The priest, one of Aaron's descendants, who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat—he will have the right thigh as his share of the offering.

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 I have taken from the people of Israel, the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh that is the contribution, and they have been given to Aaron the priest and his sons as their regular share.

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 share for Aaron and his descendants from the offerings for Yahweh made by fire, on the day when Moses presented them to serve Yahweh in the work of priest.

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.

This is the share that Yahweh commanded to be given them from the people of Israel, on the day that he anointed the priests. It will always be their share throughout all 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 the burnt offering, of the grain offering, of the sin offering, of the guilt offering, of the consecration offering, and of the sacrifice 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.

about which Yahweh gave commands to Moses on Mount Sinai on the day that he commanded the people of Israel to offer their sacrifices to Yahweh in the wilderness of Sinai.'”
