Leviticus 6
1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 anima quae peccaverit et contempto Domino negaverit depositum proximo suo quod fidei eius creditum fuerat vel vi aliquid extorserit aut calumniam fecerit
“If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him or stolen, or if he extorts his neighbor
3 sive rem perditam invenerit et infitians insuper peierarit et quodlibet aliud ex pluribus fecerit in quibus peccare solent homines
or finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that a man might commit—
4 convicta delicti reddet
once he has sinned and becomes guilty, he must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost property he found,
5 omnia quae per fraudem voluit obtinere integra et quintam insuper partem domino cui damnum intulerat
or anything else about which he has sworn falsely. He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value, and pay it to the owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.
6 pro peccato autem suo offeret arietem inmaculatum de grege et dabit eum sacerdoti iuxta aestimationem mensuramque delicti
Then he must bring to the priest his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock.
7 qui rogabit pro eo coram Domino et dimittetur illi pro singulis quae faciendo peccaverit
In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”
8 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
Then the LORD said to Moses,
9 praecipe Aaron et filiis eius haec est lex holocausti cremabitur in altari tota nocte usque mane ignis ex eodem altari erit
“Command Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the hearth of the altar all night, until morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.
10 vestietur sacerdos tunica et feminalibus lineis tolletque cineres quos vorans ignis exusit et ponens iuxta altare
And the priest shall put on his linen robe and linen undergarments, and he shall remove from the altar the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed and place them beside it.
11 spoliabitur prioribus vestimentis indutusque aliis efferet eos extra castra et in loco mundissimo usque ad favillam consumi faciet
Then he must take off his garments, put on other clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place.
12 ignis autem in altari semper ardebit quem nutriet sacerdos subiciens ligna mane per singulos dies et inposito holocausto desuper adolebit adipes pacificorum
The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it must not be extinguished. Every morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings on it.
13 ignis est iste perpetuus qui numquam deficiet in altari
The fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not be extinguished.
14 haec est lex sacrificii et libamentorum quae offerent filii Aaron coram Domino et coram altari
Now this is the law of the grain offering: Aaron’s sons shall present it before the LORD in front of the altar.
15 tollet sacerdos pugillum similae quae conspersa est oleo et totum tus quod super similam positum est adolebitque illud in altari in monumentum odoris suavissimi Domino
The priest is to remove a handful of fine flour and olive oil, together with all the frankincense from the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
16 reliquam autem partem similae comedet Aaron cum filiis suis absque fermento et comedet in loco sancto atrii tabernaculi
Aaron and his sons are to eat the remainder. It must be eaten without leaven in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
17 ideo autem non fermentabitur quia pars eius in Domini offertur incensum sanctum sanctorum erit sicut pro peccato atque delicto
It must not be baked with leaven; I have assigned it as their portion of My offerings made by fire. It is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
18 mares tantum stirpis Aaron comedent illud legitimum ac sempiternum est in generationibus vestris de sacrificiis Domini omnis qui tetigerit illa sanctificabitur
Any male among the sons of Aaron may eat it. This is a permanent portion from the offerings made by fire to the LORD for the generations to come. Anything that touches them will become holy.”
19 et locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
Then the LORD said to Moses,
20 haec est oblatio Aaron et filiorum eius quam offerre debent Domino in die unctionis suae decimam partem oephi offerent similae in sacrificio sempiterno medium eius mane et medium vespere
“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons must present to the LORD on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.
21 quae in sartagine oleo conspersa frigetur offeret autem eam calidam in odorem suavissimum Domino
It shall be prepared with oil on a griddle; you are to bring it well-kneaded and present it as a grain offering broken in pieces, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
22 sacerdos qui patri iure successerit et tota cremabitur in altari
The priest, who is one of Aaron’s sons and will be anointed to take his place, is to prepare it. As a permanent portion for the LORD, it must be burned completely.
23 omne enim sacrificium sacerdotum igne consumetur nec quisquam comedet ex eo
Every grain offering for a priest shall be burned completely; it is not to be eaten.”
24 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And the LORD said to Moses,
25 loquere Aaron et filiis eius ista est lex hostiae pro peccato in loco ubi offertur holocaustum immolabitur coram Domino sanctum sanctorum est
“Tell Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before the LORD; it is most holy.
26 sacerdos qui offert comedet eam in loco sancto in atrio tabernaculi
The priest who offers it shall eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
27 quicquid tetigerit carnes eius sanctificabitur si de sanguine illius vestis fuerit aspersa lavabitur in loco sancto
Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in a holy place.
28 vas autem fictile in quo cocta est confringetur quod si vas aeneum fuerit defricabitur et lavabitur aqua
The clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled must be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze pot, the pot must be scoured and rinsed with water.
29 omnis masculus de genere sacerdotali vescetur carnibus eius quia sanctum sanctorum est
Any male among the priests may eat it; it is most holy.
30 hostia enim quae caeditur pro peccato cuius sanguis infertur in tabernaculum testimonii ad expiandum in sanctuario non comedetur sed conburetur igni
But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place; it must be burned.
