Leviticus 7

1 Likewise, this is the law of the sacrifice for a transgression. It is the Holy of holies.

This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy.

2 Therefore, where the holocaust is immolated, the victim for a transgression shall also be slain. Its blood shall be poured out all around the altar.

They must kill the guilt offering in the place for killing it, and they must sprinkle its blood against every side of the altar.

3 They shall offer from it: the rump, and the fat that covers the vital organs,

All the fat in it will be offered: the fat tail, the fat that is over the inner parts,

4 the two little kidneys, and the fat that is near the sides, and the mesh of the liver with the little kidneys.

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.

5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar. It is the incense of the Lord on behalf of a transgression.

The priest must burn these parts on the altar as an offering made with fire to Yahweh. This is the guilt offering.

6 Every male of priestly descent shall feed on this flesh in a holy place, because it is the Holy of holies.

Every male among the priests may eat part of this offering. It must be eaten in a holy place because it is most holy.

7 Just as the sacrifice for sin is offered, so also for a transgression; one law shall be for both sacrifices. It shall belong to the priest who offers it.

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.

8 The priest who offers the victim of holocaust shall have its skin.

The priest who offers anyone's burnt offering may have for himself the hide of that offering.

9 And every sacrifice of fine wheat flour which is baked in the oven, and whatever is prepared on the oven grating or in the frying pan, shall be for the priest who offers it.

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.

10 Whether these will be sprinkled with oil, or left dry, an equal measure shall be divided to each one of the sons of Aaron.

Every grain offering, either dry or mixed with oil, will belong equally to all the descendants of Aaron.

11 This is the law of the victim of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord.

This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which people will offer to Yahweh.

12 If the oblation will be an act for giving thanks, they shall offer bread without leaven sprinkled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine wheat flour fried, and cakes sprinkled and mixed with oil,

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.

13 and also, leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, which is immolated for peace offerings.

Also for the purpose of giving thanks, he must offer with his peace offering cakes of bread made with yeast.

14 Of these, one shall be offered to the Lord as the first-fruits, and one shall be for the priest who will pour out the blood of the victim.

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.

15 The flesh of it shall be eaten on the same day; neither shall any of it remain until morning.

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.

16 If anyone, by a vow or of his own accord, will have offered a sacrifice, it shall be eaten in a similar manner on the same day. But then if any of it will have remained until tomorrow, it is lawful to eat it.

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.

17 Then whatever will be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.

However, whatever meat of the sacrifice remains on the third day must be burned.

18 If anyone will have eaten from the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation will be nullified; neither will it benefit the one who offered it. But instead, whatever soul will contaminate itself with such foods will be guilty of a betrayal.

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.

19 The flesh that has touched anything unclean shall not be eaten, but it shall be burnt with fire. He that is clean will feed on it.

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.

20 If a soul which is polluted will have eaten from the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall perish from his people.

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.

21 And whoever will have touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of anything which is able to defile, and who will have eaten from this kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his people.

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.'”

22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 Say to the sons of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat.

“Speak to the people of Israel and say, 'You must eat no fat of an ox or a sheep or a goat.

24 The fat of a carcass that has died on its own, or of an animal that has been seized by a wild beast, you shall have for various uses.

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.

25 If anyone will have eaten the fat which ought to be offered as a burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish from his people.

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.

26 Likewise, you shall not take as food the blood of any animals at all, whether of birds or beasts.

You must eat no blood whatsoever in any of your houses, whether it is from a bird or an animal.

27 Every soul that will have eaten blood shall perish from his people.

Whoever eats any blood, that person must be cut off from his people.'”

28 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

29 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: Whoever offers a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him also offer at the same time a sacrifice, that is, its libations.

“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.

30 He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. And when he will have offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,

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.

31 who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.

The priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his descendants.

32 Likewise also, the right shoulder of the victim of peace offerings shall fall to the priest as first-fruits.

You must give the right thigh to the priest as an offering presented out of the sacrifice of your peace offerings.

33 Among the sons of Aaron, whoever will have offered the blood and the fat, the same one shall also have the right shoulder for his portion.

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.

34 So then, the breast that is lifted up, and the shoulder that is separated, I have taken from the sons of Israel, from their victims of peace offerings, and I have given these to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a law in perpetuity, from all the people of Israel.

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.

35 This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, by the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, so that they may fulfill the priesthood,

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.

36 and this is what the Lord instructed to be given to them by the sons of Israel, as a perpetual observance in their generations.

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.

37 This is the law of the holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for transgression, and for consecration, and for the victims of peace offerings,

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,

38 which the Lord appointed to Moses on mount Sinai, when he commanded the sons of Israel to offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.

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.'”
