Leviticus 6
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “If any one of you you sins against me by deceiving someone—if you refuse to return what someone has lent you, or if you steal something of his, or if you find something and claim that you do not have it,
If any one sin and act unfaithfully against Jehovah, and lie to his neighbour as to an entrusted thing or a deposit or [that in which] he hath robbed or wronged his neighbour,
3 you are guilty. You must return to its owner what you have stolen or what someone has lent you and you have not returned, or what you found that someone else had lost,
or have found what was lost, and denieth it, and sweareth falsely in anything of all that man doeth, sinning therein;
4 or whatever you lied about.
then it shall be, if he hath sinned and transgressed, that he shall restore what he robbed or that in which he hath defrauded, or the deposit, or the lost thing which he found,
5 You must not only return anything like that to its owner, but you must also pay to the owner one-fifth of its value.
or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; and he shall restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto; to [him to] whom it belongeth shall he give it, on the day of his trespass-offering.
6 You must also bring to the Supreme Priest a ram to be an offering to me in order that you will no longer be guilty. The ram that you bring must be one that has no defects, one that has the value that has been officially determined.
And his trespass-offering shall he bring to Jehovah, a ram without blemish out of the small cattle according to thy valuation, as a trespass-offering, unto the priest.
7 Then he will offer that ram to be a sacrifice that will cause you to no longer be guilty, and you will be forgiven for the wrong things that you did.”
And the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah, and it shall be forgiven him concerning anything of all that he hath done so as to trespass therein.
8 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
9 “Tell this to Aaron and his sons: These are the regulations concerning the offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]: The offering must remain on the altar all during the night, and the fire on the altar must always be kept burning.
Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt-offering; this, the burnt-offering, shall be on the hearth on the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
10 [The next morning] the priest must put on his linen under-clothes and linen outer clothes. Then he must remove the ashes of the offering from the fire and put them beside the altar.
And the priest shall put on his linen raiment, and his linen breeches shall he put on his flesh, and take up the ashes to which the fire hath consumed the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
11 Then he must take off those clothes and put on other clothes, and take the ashes outside the camp, to a place that is acceptable to me.
And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
12 The fire on the altar must always be kept burning; the priest must not allow it to (go out/quit burning). Each morning the priest must put more firewood on the fire. Then he must arrange more offerings on the fire, and burn on the altar the fat of the offerings to be burned to maintain fellowship [with me].
And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning on it: it shall not be put out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt-offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace-offerings.
13 The fire on the altar must be kept burning continually; the priest must not allow it to go out.”
A continual fire shall be kept burning on the altar: it shall never go out.
14 “These are the regulations concerning the offerings made from grain: Aaron’s sons must bring them to me in front of the altar.
And this is the law of the oblation: [one of] the sons of Aaron shall present it before Jehovah, before the altar.
15 The priest must take a handful of fine flour mixed with olive oil and incense and burn that on the altar. That handful will signify that the whole offering truly belongs to me. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to me.
And he shall take of it his handful of the fine flour of the oblation, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is on the meat-offering, and shall burn [it] on the altar: [it is] a sweet odour of the memorial thereof to Jehovah.
16 Aaron and his sons may eat the remaining part of the grain offering. But they must eat it in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Sacred Tent.
And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: unleavened shall it be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting shall they eat it.
17 It must not have yeast mixed with it. Like the offerings for sin and the offerings to cause people to no longer be guilty of sin, that offering is very holy.
It shall not be baken with leaven. As their portion have I given it [unto them] of my offerings by fire: it is most holy; as the sin-offering, and as the trespass-offering.
18 Any male descendants of Aaron are permitted to eat it, because it is forever their regular share of the offerings given to me and burned in the fire [on the altar]. Anyone else who touches those offerings made from grain will be punished by God.”
All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. [It is] an everlasting statute in your generations, [their portion] of Jehovah's offerings by fire: whatever toucheth these shall be holy.
19 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
20 “Tell Aaron and his sons that this is the offering that they must bring to Yahweh on the day that any of them (is ordained/becomes a priest): That person must bring two quarts/liters of fine flour as an offering made from grain. He must bring half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.
This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall present to Jehovah on the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour as a continual oblation, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
21 He must mix it well with olive oil and bake it in a shallow pan. He must then break it into small pieces to be burned [on the altar]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
It shall be prepared in the pan with oil: saturated with oil shalt thou bring it: baken pieces of the oblation shalt thou present [for] a sweet odour to Jehovah.
22 I have commanded that the descendants of Aaron who are appointed in turn to become the Supreme Priests after Aaron dies are the ones who must prepare those things. These offerings must be completely burned [on the altar] to be sacrifices to me, Yahweh.
And the priest who is anointed of his sons in his stead shall prepare it: [it is] an everlasting statute; it shall be wholly burned to Jehovah.
23 Every offering that a priest gives that is made from grain must be completely burned; none of it is to be eaten.”
And every oblation of the priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten.
24 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
25 “Tell Aaron and his sons: These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people must bring to me so that I will forgive the people for the sins they have committed:
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering. At the place where the burnt-offering is slaughtered shall the sin-offering be slaughtered before Jehovah: it is most holy.
26 The animals must be slaughtered in my presence in the same place that the animals that are to be completely burned [on the altar] are slaughtered, in the courtyard in front of the Sacred Tent.
The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.
27 Any other person who touches any of its meat will be punished by God. And if its blood is splattered on your clothes, you must wash the clothes in a holy place.
Everything that toucheth the flesh thereof shall be holy; and if there be splashed of the blood thereof on a garment — that whereon it is sprinkled shalt thou wash in a holy place.
28 If the meat is cooked in a clay pot, the pot must be broken [afterwards]. But if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot must be scoured [afterwards] and rinsed with water.
And the earthen vessel wherein it hath been sodden shall be broken; and if it have been sodden in a copper pot, it shall be both scoured and rinsed with water.
29 Any male in a priest’s family may eat some of the cooked meat; that meat is very holy.
All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
30 But if the blood of those sin offerings is brought into the Sacred Tent to enable the people to be forgiven for having sinned, the meat of those animals must not be eaten. The meat must be completely burned.”
And no sin-offering whereof blood hath been brought to the tent of meeting, to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall be eaten: it shall be burned with fire.
