Leviticus 7

1 Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.

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

2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about on the altar.

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.

3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covers the inwards,

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

4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the lobe that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:

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.

5 And the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a trespass offering.

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

6 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.

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

7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that makes atonement therewith shall have it.

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.

8 And the priest that offers any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.

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

9 And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying pan, and in the pan, shall be the priest’s that offers it.

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,

10 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.

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

11 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer to the LORD.

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

12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.

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.

13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.

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

14 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering to the LORD, and it shall be the priest’s that sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

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.

15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

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.

16 But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:

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.

17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.

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

18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him that offers it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

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.

19 And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.

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.

20 But the soul that eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

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

21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain to the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

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.”

22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

The Lord told Moses,

23 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

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

24 And the fat of the beast that dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but you shall in no wise eat of it.

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.

25 For whoever eats the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, even the soul that eats it shall be cut off from his people.

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

26 Moreover you shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.

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

27 Whatever soul it be that eats any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

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

28 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

The Lord told Moses,

29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, He that offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his oblation to the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

“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.

30 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.

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.

31 And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

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

32 And the right shoulder shall you give to the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

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

33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.

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

34 For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.

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.”

35 This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to the LORD in the priest’s office;

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.

36 Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.

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.

37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;

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.

38 Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.

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.
