Leviticus 7

1 “And this [is] a law of the guilt-offering: it [is] most holy;

This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy.

2 in the place where they slaughter the burnt-offering they slaughter the guilt-offering, and he sprinkles its blood on the altar all around,

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 and he brings near all its fat from it, the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the innards,

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

4 and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, which [is] on the flanks, and the redundance on the liver above the kidneys—he turns it aside;

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 and the priest has made them an incense on the altar, a fire-offering to YHWH; 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 Every male among the priests eats it; it is 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 as [is] a sin-offering, so [is] a guilt-offering; one law [is] for them; the priest who makes atonement by it—it is his.

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 And the priest who is bringing any man’s burnt-offering near, the skin of the burnt-offering which he has brought near, it is the priest’s, his own;

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

9 and every present which is baked in an oven, and all done in a frying-pan, and on a griddle, [is] the priest’s who is bringing it near; it is his;

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 every present, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron—one as another.

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

11 And this [is] a law of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which [one] brings near to YHWH:

This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which people will offer to Yahweh.

12 if he brings it near for a thank-offering, then he has brought near with the sacrifice of thank-offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and of stirred flour cakes mixed with 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 besides the cakes, he brings fermented bread near [with] his offering, besides the sacrifice of thank-offering of his peace-offerings;

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

14 and he has brought near from it one [cake] from every offering [as] a raised-offering to YHWH for the priest who is sprinkling the blood of the peace-offerings; it is for him;

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 as for the flesh of the sacrifice of the thank-offering of his peace-offerings, it is eaten in the day of his offering; he does not leave of it until 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 And if the sacrifice of his offering [is] a vow or free-will offering, it is eaten in the day of his bringing his sacrifice near; and on the next day the remnant of it is also eaten;

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 and the remnant of the flesh of the sacrifice is burned with fire on the third day;

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

18 and if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings is eaten at all on the third day, it is not pleasing; it is not reckoned for him who is bringing it near; it is an abomination, and the person who is eating of it bears his iniquity.

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 And the flesh which comes against any unclean thing is not eaten; it is burned with fire; as for the flesh, every clean one eats of the flesh;

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 and the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which [are] YHWH’s, and his uncleanness [is] on him, indeed, that person has been cut off from his 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 And when a person comes against anything unclean, of the uncleanness of man, or of the uncleanness of beasts, or of any unclean teeming creature, and has eaten of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which [are] YHWH’s, indeed, that person has been cut off from his 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 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, You do not eat any fat of ox, and sheep, and goat;

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

24 and the fat of a carcass, and the fat of a torn thing, is prepared for any work, but you certainly do 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 for whoever eats the fat of the beast, of which [one] brings near [as] a fire-offering to YHWH, indeed, the person who eats [it] has been cut off from his 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 And you do not eat any blood in all your dwellings, of bird, or of beast;

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

27 any person who eats any blood, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people.”

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

28 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

29 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, He who is bringing the sacrifice of his peace-offerings near to YHWH brings in his offering to YHWH from the sacrifice of his peace-offerings;

“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 his own hands bring in the fire-offerings of YHWH; the fat beside the breast—he brings it in with the breast to wave it [as] a wave-offering before YHWH.

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 And the priest has made incense with the fat on the altar, and the breast has been Aaron’s and his sons;

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

32 and you give the right leg to the priest [as] a raised-offering of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings;

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

33 he from the sons of Aaron who is bringing the blood of the peace-offerings and the fat near—the right leg is for a portion for him.

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 For I have taken the breast of the wave-offering and the leg of the raised-offering from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and I give them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a continuous statute, from the sons of Israel.”

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] an anointed portion [for] Aaron, and an anointed portion [for] his sons out of the fire-offerings of YHWH, in the day he has brought them near to act as priest of YHWH,

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 which YHWH has commanded to give to them from the sons of Israel, in the day of His anointing them—a continuous statute throughout their 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 This [is] the law for burnt-offering, for present, and for sin-offering, and for guilt-offering, and for consecrations, and for a sacrifice of the peace-offerings,

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 which YHWH has commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day of His commanding the sons of Israel to bring their offerings near to YHWH, 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.'”
