< Leviticus 7 >
1 This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy.
This also is the law of the sacrifice for a trespass, it is most holy:
2 They must kill the guilt offering in the place for killing it, and they must sprinkle its blood against every side of the altar.
Therefore where the holocaust is immolated, the victim also for a trespass shall be slain: the blood thereof shall be poured round about the altar.
3 All the fat in it will be offered: the fat tail, the fat that is over the inner parts,
They shall offer thereof the rump and the fat that covereth the entrails:
4 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.
The two little kidneys, and the fat which is by the flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys.
5 The priest must burn these parts on the altar as an offering made with fire to Yahweh. This is the guilt offering.
And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the burnt sacrifice of the Lord for a trespass.
6 Every male among the priests may eat part of this offering. It must be eaten in a holy place because it is most holy.
Every male of the priestly race, shall eat this flesh in a holy place, because it is most holy.
7 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.
As the sacrifice for sin is offered, so is also that for a trespass: the same shall be the law of both these sacrifices: it shall belong to the priest that offereth it.
8 The priest who offers anyone's burnt offering may have for himself the hide of that offering.
The priest that offereth the victim of holocaust, shall have the skin thereof.
9 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.
And every sacrifice of flour that is baked in the oven, and whatsoever is dressed on the gridiron, or in the fryingpan, shall be the priest’s that offereth it:
10 Every grain offering, either dry or mixed with oil, will belong equally to all the descendants of Aaron.
Whether they be tempered with oil, or dry, all the sons of Aaron shall have one as much as another.
11 This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which people will offer to Yahweh.
This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that is offered to the Lord.
12 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.
If the oblation be for thanksgiving, they shall offer leaves without leaven tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried, and cakes tempered and mingled with oil:
13 Also for the purpose of giving thanks, he must offer with his peace offering cakes of bread made with yeast.
Moreover leaves of leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanks, which is offered for peace offerings:
14 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.
Of which one shall be offered to the Lord for firstfruits, and shall be the priest’s that shall pour out the blood of the victim.
15 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.
And the flesh of it shall be eaten the same day, neither shall any of it remain until the morning.
16 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.
If any man by vow, or of his own accord offer a sacrifice, it shall in like manner be eaten the same day: and if any of it remain until the morrow, it is lawful to eat it:
17 However, whatever meat of the sacrifice remains on the third day must be burned.
But whatsoever shall be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.
18 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.
If any man eat of the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation shall be of no effect, neither shall it profit the offerer: yea rather whatsoever soul shall defile itself with such meat, shall be guilty of transgression.
19 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.
The flesh that hath touched any unclean thing, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire: he that is clean shall eat of it.
20 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.
If any one that is defiled shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall be cut off from his people.
21 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.'”
And he that hath touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of any thing that can defile, and shall eat of such kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his people.
22 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 “Speak to the people of Israel and say, 'You must eat no fat of an ox or a sheep or a goat.
Say to the children of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat.
24 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.
The fat of a carcass that hath died of itself, and of a beast that was caught by another beast, you shall have for divers uses.
25 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.
If any man eat the fat that should be offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish out of his people.
26 You must eat no blood whatsoever in any of your houses, whether it is from a bird or an animal.
Moreover you shall not eat the blood of any creature whatsoever, whether of birds or beasts.
27 Whoever eats any blood, that person must be cut off from his people.'”
Every one that eateth blood, shall perish from among the people.
28 So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
29 “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.
Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer therewith a sacrifice also, that is, the libations thereof.
30 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.
He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast: and when he hath offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,
31 The priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his descendants.
Who shall burn the fat upon the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
32 You must give the right thigh to the priest as an offering presented out of the sacrifice of your peace offerings.
The right shoulder also of the victims of peace offerings shall fall to the priest for firstfruits.
33 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.
He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood, and the fat, he shall have the right shoulder also for his portion.
34 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.
For the breast that is elevated and the shoulder that is separated I have taken of the children of Israel, from off their victims of peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a law for ever, from all the people of Israel.
35 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.
This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, in the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, that they might do the office of priesthood,
36 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.
And the things that the Lord commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, by a perpetual observance in their generations.
37 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,
This is the law of holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for trespass, and for consecration, and the victims of peace offerings:
38 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.'”
Which the Lord appointed to Moses in mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel, that they should offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.
