Leviticus 7
1 haec quoque est lex hostiae pro delicto sancta sanctorum est
“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.
2 idcirco ubi immolatur holocaustum mactabitur et victima pro delicto sanguis eius per gyrum fundetur altaris
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.
3 offerent ex ea caudam et adipem qui operit vitalia
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].
4 duos renunculos et pinguedinem quae iuxta ilia est reticulumque iecoris cum renunculis
That includes the kidneys with their fat near the lower back muscle, and the protruding lobe that is attached to the liver.
5 et adolebit ea sacerdos super altare incensum est Domini pro delicto
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.
6 omnis masculus de sacerdotali genere in loco sancto vescetur his carnibus quia sanctum sanctorum est
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.
7 sicut pro peccato offertur hostia ita et pro delicto utriusque hostiae lex una erit ad sacerdotem qui eam obtulerit pertinebit
“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.
8 sacerdos qui offert holocausti victimam habebit pellem eius
The priest who slaughters an animal that will be completely burned on the altar is permitted to keep the animal’s hide for himself.
9 et omne sacrificium similae quod coquitur in clibano et quicquid in craticula vel in sartagine praeparatur eius erit sacerdotis a quo offertur
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].
10 sive oleo conspersa sive arida fuerit cunctis filiis Aaron aequa mensura per singulos dividetur
And offerings of things made from grain, whether they were mixed with olive oil or not, also belong to the sons of Aaron.”
11 haec est lex hostiae pacificorum quae offertur Domino
These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people make to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]:
12 si pro gratiarum actione fuerit oblatio offerent panes absque fermento conspersos oleo et lagana azyma uncta oleo coctamque similam et collyridas olei admixtione conspersas
“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.
13 panes quoque fermentatos cum hostia gratiarum quae immolatur pro pacificis
Along with that offering to thank Yahweh, you must bring an offering of loaves made with yeast.
14 ex quibus unus pro primitiis offeretur Domino et erit sacerdotis qui fundet hostiae sanguinem
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.
15 cuius carnes eadem comedentur die nec remanebit ex eis quicquam usque mane
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.
16 si voto vel sponte quisquam obtulerit hostiam eadem similiter edetur die sed et si quid in crastinum remanserit vesci licitum est
“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.
17 quicquid autem tertius invenerit dies ignis absumet
But any meat that is left until the third day must be completely burned.
18 si quis de carnibus victimae pacificorum die tertio comederit irrita fiet oblatio nec proderit offerenti quin potius quaecumque anima tali se edulio contaminarit praevaricationis rea erit
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].
19 caro quae aliquid tetigerit inmundum non comedetur sed conburetur igni qui fuerit mundus vescetur ea
“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].
20 anima polluta quae ederit de carnibus hostiae pacificorum quae oblata est Domino peribit de populis suis
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.
21 et quae tetigerit inmunditiam hominis vel iumenti sive omnis rei quae polluere potest et comederit de huiuscemodi carnibus interibit de populis suis
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.”
22 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
Yahweh also said to Moses/me:
23 loquere filiis Israhel adipem bovis et ovis et caprae non comedetis
“Say this to the Israeli people: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle or sheep or goats.
24 adipem cadaveris morticini et eius animalis quod a bestia captum est habebitis in usus varios
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.
25 si quis adipem qui offerri debet in incensum Domini comederit peribit de populo suo
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.
26 sanguinem quoque omnis animalis non sumetis in cibo tam de avibus quam de pecoribus
And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
27 omnis anima quae ederit sanguinem peribit de populis suis
If anyone eats blood, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.’”
28 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
29 loquere filiis Israhel qui offert victimam pacificorum Domino offerat simul et sacrificium id est libamenta eius
“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.
30 tenebit manibus adipem hostiae et pectusculum cumque ambo oblata Domino consecrarit tradet sacerdoti
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.
31 qui adolebit adipem super altare pectusculum autem erit Aaron et filiorum eius
The Supreme Priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and all his sons.
32 armus quoque dexter de pacificorum hostiis cedet in primitias sacerdotis
You must give to the Supreme Priest the right thigh of the animal that is sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
33 qui obtulerit sanguinem et adipem filiorum Aaron ipse habebit et armum dextrum in portione sua
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.
34 pectusculum enim elationis et armum separationis tuli a filiis Israhel de hostiis eorum pacificis et dedi Aaron sacerdoti ac filiis eius lege perpetua ab omni populo Israhel
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.’”
35 haec est unctio Aaron et filiorum eius in caerimoniis Domini die qua obtulit eos Moses ut sacerdotio fungerentur
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.
36 et quae praecepit dari eis Dominus a filiis Israhel religione perpetua in generationibus suis
Yahweh commands that on the day that the priests are appointed [MTY], the Israeli people must always give those portions to the priests.
37 ista est lex holocausti et sacrificii pro peccato atque delicto et pro consecratione et pacificorum victimis
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.
38 quas constituit Dominus Mosi in monte Sinai quando mandavit filiis Israhel ut offerrent oblationes suas Domino in deserto Sinai
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.
