Leviticus 7
1 “These are the regulations concerning the offerings to be made by people who are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. Those are very sacred offerings.
| וְזֹאת תּוֹרַת הָאָשָׁם קֹדֶשׁ קׇֽדָשִׁים הֽוּא׃ |
2 Each animal that is to be offered by such people must be slaughtered in the same place where the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar] are slaughtered, and their blood must be sprinkled against all sides of the altar.
| בִּמְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁחֲטוּ אֶת־הָעֹלָה יִשְׁחֲטוּ אֶת־הָאָשָׁם וְאֶת־דָּמוֹ יִזְרֹק עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ סָבִֽיב׃ |
3 All their fat, the fat tails that are cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animals or which is attached to them, must be burned [on the altar].
| וְאֵת כׇּל־חֶלְבּוֹ יַקְרִיב מִמֶּנּוּ אֵת הָֽאַלְיָה וְאֶת־הַחֵלֶב הַֽמְכַסֶּה אֶת־הַקֶּֽרֶב׃ |
4 That includes the kidneys with their fat near the lower back muscle, and the protruding lobe that is attached to the liver.
| וְאֵת שְׁתֵּי הַכְּלָיֹת וְאֶת־הַחֵלֶב אֲשֶׁר עֲלֵיהֶן אֲשֶׁר עַל־הַכְּסָלִים וְאֶת־הַיֹּתֶרֶת עַל־הַכָּבֵד עַל־הַכְּלָיֹת יְסִירֶֽנָּה׃ |
5 The priest must burn them on the altar to be offerings to me, Yahweh. They are an offering for the people to be forgiven for not doing what they were required to do.
| וְהִקְטִיר אֹתָם הַכֹּהֵן הַמִּזְבֵּחָה אִשֶּׁה לַיהֹוָה אָשָׁם הֽוּא׃ |
6 All the males in the priest’s family are permitted to eat its meat, but it must be eaten in a sacred place, because it is very sacred.
| כׇּל־זָכָר בַּכֹּהֲנִים יֹאכְלֶנּוּ בְּמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ יֵאָכֵל קֹדֶשׁ קׇֽדָשִׁים הֽוּא׃ |
7 “The regulation is the same for the offerings [to enable people to be forgiven for the sins they have committed] and the offerings for when they are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. The meat of those offerings belongs to the priest who offers them in order that the people will be forgiven.
| כַּֽחַטָּאת כָּֽאָשָׁם תּוֹרָה אַחַת לָהֶם הַכֹּהֵן אֲשֶׁר יְכַפֶּר־בּוֹ לוֹ יִהְיֶֽה׃ |
8 The priest who slaughters an animal that will be completely burned on the altar is permitted to keep the animal’s hide for himself.
| וְהַכֹּהֵן הַמַּקְרִיב אֶת־עֹלַת אִישׁ עוֹר הָֽעֹלָה אֲשֶׁר הִקְרִיב לַכֹּהֵן לוֹ יִהְיֶֽה׃ |
9 Offerings of things made from grain that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or (in a shallow pan/on a griddle) belong to the priest who makes those offerings [for another person].
| וְכׇל־מִנְחָה אֲשֶׁר תֵּֽאָפֶה בַּתַּנּוּר וְכׇל־נַעֲשָׂה בַמַּרְחֶשֶׁת וְעַֽל־מַחֲבַת לַכֹּהֵן הַמַּקְרִיב אֹתָהּ לוֹ תִֽהְיֶֽה׃ |
10 And offerings of things made from grain, whether they were mixed with olive oil or not, also belong to the sons of Aaron.”
| וְכׇל־מִנְחָה בְלוּלָֽה־בַשֶּׁמֶן וַחֲרֵבָה לְכׇל־בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן תִּהְיֶה אִישׁ כְּאָחִֽיו׃ |
11 These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people make to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]:
| וְזֹאת תּוֹרַת זֶבַח הַשְּׁלָמִים אֲשֶׁר יַקְרִיב לַיהֹוָֽה׃ |
12 “If you bring an offering to thank [Yahweh], along with [the animal that you slaughter] you must offer loaves of bread made with olive oil mixed [with the flour] but without yeast, and wafers that are made without yeast but with olive oil smeared on them, and loaves made from fine flour with olive oil well mixed with the flour.
| אִם עַל־תּוֹדָה יַקְרִיבֶנּוּ וְהִקְרִיב ׀ עַל־זֶבַח הַתּוֹדָה חַלּוֹת מַצּוֹת בְּלוּלֹת בַּשֶּׁמֶן וּרְקִיקֵי מַצּוֹת מְשֻׁחִים בַּשָּׁמֶן וְסֹלֶת מֻרְבֶּכֶת חַלֹּת בְּלוּלֹת בַּשָּֽׁמֶן׃ |
13 Along with that offering to thank Yahweh, you must bring an offering of loaves made with yeast.
| עַל־חַלֹּת לֶחֶם חָמֵץ יַקְרִיב קׇרְבָּנוֹ עַל־זֶבַח תּוֹדַת שְׁלָמָֽיו׃ |
14 You must bring one of each kind for an offering to Yahweh, but they belong to the priest who sprinkles against the altar the blood of the animal that is [slaughtered as an offering] to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
| וְהִקְרִיב מִמֶּנּוּ אֶחָד מִכׇּל־קׇרְבָּן תְּרוּמָה לַיהֹוָה לַכֹּהֵן הַזֹּרֵק אֶת־דַּם הַשְּׁלָמִים לוֹ יִהְיֶֽה׃ |
15 The meat of that offering must be eaten on the day that it is offered; none of it should be left to [be eaten on] the next day.
| וּבְשַׂר זֶבַח תּוֹדַת שְׁלָמָיו בְּיוֹם קׇרְבָּנוֹ יֵאָכֵל לֹֽא־יַנִּיחַ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד־בֹּֽקֶר׃ |
16 “However, if your offering is the result of a solemn promise that you made to Yahweh, or if it is an offering that you make (voluntarily/without being required to), you are permitted to eat some of the meat on the day it is offered, but anything that is left may be eaten on the next day.
| וְאִם־נֶדֶר ׀ אוֹ נְדָבָה זֶבַח קׇרְבָּנוֹ בְּיוֹם הַקְרִיבוֹ אֶת־זִבְחוֹ יֵאָכֵל וּמִֽמׇּחֳרָת וְהַנּוֹתָר מִמֶּנּוּ יֵאָכֵֽל׃ |
17 But any meat that is left until the third day must be completely burned.
| וְהַנּוֹתָר מִבְּשַׂר הַזָּבַח בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי בָּאֵשׁ יִשָּׂרֵֽף׃ |
18 If any meat from the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh is eaten on the third day, Yahweh will not accept that offering; it will be useless to offer it, because Yahweh will consider that it is worthless. Anyone who eats some of it will have to pay a penalty [to Yahweh].
| וְאִם הֵאָכֹל יֵאָכֵל מִבְּשַׂר־זֶבַח שְׁלָמָיו בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לֹא יֵרָצֶה הַמַּקְרִיב אֹתוֹ לֹא יֵחָשֵׁב לוֹ פִּגּוּל יִהְיֶה וְהַנֶּפֶשׁ הָאֹכֶלֶת מִמֶּנּוּ עֲוֺנָהּ תִּשָּֽׂא׃ |
19 “Meat that touches something [that God considers to be] impure must not be eaten; it must be completely burned. Anyone who has performed the rituals to become acceptable to God is allowed to eat other meat [which has been offered as a sacrifice].
| וְהַבָּשָׂר אֲשֶׁר־יִגַּע בְּכׇל־טָמֵא לֹא יֵֽאָכֵל בָּאֵשׁ יִשָּׂרֵף וְהַבָּשָׂר כׇּל־טָהוֹר יֹאכַל בָּשָֽׂר׃ |
20 But if anyone who has not performed those rituals eats some of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.
| וְהַנֶּפֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר־תֹּאכַל בָּשָׂר מִזֶּבַח הַשְּׁלָמִים אֲשֶׁר לַיהֹוָה וְטֻמְאָתוֹ עָלָיו וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מֵעַמֶּֽיהָ׃ |
21 If anyone touches something that God considers to be impure and very displeasing to him, whether it is from a human or from an animal, and then he eats any of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.”
| וְנֶפֶשׁ כִּֽי־תִגַּע בְּכׇל־טָמֵא בְּטֻמְאַת אָדָם אוֹ ׀ בִּבְהֵמָה טְמֵאָה אוֹ בְּכׇל־שֶׁקֶץ טָמֵא וְאָכַל מִבְּשַׂר־זֶבַח הַשְּׁלָמִים אֲשֶׁר לַיהֹוָה וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מֵעַמֶּֽיהָ׃ |
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me:
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ |
23 “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle or sheep or goats.
| דַּבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר כׇּל־חֵלֶב שׁוֹר וְכֶשֶׂב וָעֵז לֹא תֹאכֵֽלוּ׃ |
24 The fat of an animal that is found dead or that has been killed by a wild animal may be used for other purposes, but you must not eat it.
| וְחֵלֶב נְבֵלָה וְחֵלֶב טְרֵפָה יֵעָשֶׂה לְכׇל־מְלָאכָה וְאָכֹל לֹא תֹאכְלֻֽהוּ׃ |
25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering has been made to Yahweh must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.
| כִּי כׇּל־אֹכֵל חֵלֶב מִן־הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר יַקְרִיב מִמֶּנָּה אִשֶּׁה לַיהֹוָה וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הָאֹכֶלֶת מֵֽעַמֶּֽיהָ׃ |
26 And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
| וְכׇל־דָּם לֹא תֹאכְלוּ בְּכֹל מוֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶם לָעוֹף וְלַבְּהֵמָֽה׃ |
27 If anyone eats blood, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.’”
| כׇּל־נֶפֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר־תֹּאכַל כׇּל־דָּם וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מֵֽעַמֶּֽיהָ׃ |
28 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ |
29 “Tell the Israeli people this: ‘Anyone who brings an offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh must bring part of it to be a sacrifice to Yahweh.
| דַּבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר הַמַּקְרִיב אֶת־זֶבַח שְׁלָמָיו לַיהֹוָה יָבִיא אֶת־קׇרְבָּנוֹ לַיהֹוָה מִזֶּבַח שְׁלָמָֽיו׃ |
30 He himself must bring the offering that will be burned in the fire. He must bring the fat along with the breast of the animal and lift it up in front of Yahweh to indicate that it is an offering to him.
| יָדָיו תְּבִיאֶינָה אֵת אִשֵּׁי יְהֹוָה אֶת־הַחֵלֶב עַל־הֶֽחָזֶה יְבִיאֶנּוּ אֵת הֶחָזֶה לְהָנִיף אֹתוֹ תְּנוּפָה לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
31 The Supreme Priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and all his sons.
| וְהִקְטִיר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַחֵלֶב הַמִּזְבֵּחָה וְהָיָה הֶֽחָזֶה לְאַהֲרֹן וּלְבָנָֽיו׃ |
32 You must give to the Supreme Priest the right thigh of the animal that is sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
| וְאֵת שׁוֹק הַיָּמִין תִּתְּנוּ תְרוּמָה לַכֹּהֵן מִזִּבְחֵי שַׁלְמֵיכֶֽם׃ |
33 The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of that sacrifice must be given the right thigh of the animal as his share.
| הַמַּקְרִיב אֶת־דַּם הַשְּׁלָמִים וְאֶת־הַחֵלֶב מִבְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן לוֹ תִהְיֶה שׁוֹק הַיָּמִין לְמָנָֽה׃ |
34 From the offerings that the Israeli people give to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, he has declared that he has given to Aaron and his sons the breast that is lifted up and the right thigh that is offered; those portions must always be their regular share from the Israeli people.’”
| כִּי אֶת־חֲזֵה הַתְּנוּפָה וְאֵת ׀ שׁוֹק הַתְּרוּמָה לָקַחְתִּי מֵאֵת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִזִּבְחֵי שַׁלְמֵיהֶם וָאֶתֵּן אֹתָם לְאַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן וּלְבָנָיו לְחׇק־עוֹלָם מֵאֵת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
35 Those are the portions of the offerings brought/given to Yahweh and burned in fire that are allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day that they are set apart to serve Yahweh as priests.
| זֹאת מִשְׁחַת אַהֲרֹן וּמִשְׁחַת בָּנָיו מֵאִשֵּׁי יְהֹוָה בְּיוֹם הִקְרִיב אֹתָם לְכַהֵן לַיהֹוָֽה׃ |
36 Yahweh commands that on the day that the priests are appointed [MTY], the Israeli people must always give those portions to the priests.
| אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה לָתֵת לָהֶם בְּיוֹם מׇשְׁחוֹ אֹתָם מֵאֵת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל חֻקַּת עוֹלָם לְדֹרֹתָֽם׃ |
37 Those are the regulations for the offerings that are to be completely burned on the altar, the offerings made from grain, the offerings to enable people to become acceptable to God again, the offerings for when people are guilty of not giving to Yahweh the things that are required to be given to him, the offerings given when the priests are appointed, and the offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
| זֹאת הַתּוֹרָה לָֽעֹלָה לַמִּנְחָה וְלַֽחַטָּאת וְלָאָשָׁם וְלַמִּלּוּאִים וּלְזֶבַח הַשְּׁלָמִֽים׃ |
38 They are regulations that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain in the Sinai Desert, on the day that he commanded the Israeli people to start bringing their offerings to him.
| אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה אֶת־מֹשֶׁה בְּהַר סִינָי בְּיוֹם צַוֺּתוֹ אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהַקְרִיב אֶת־קׇרְבְּנֵיהֶם לַיהֹוָה בְּמִדְבַּר סִינָֽי׃ |
