Leviticus 7
1 “These are the regulations for the guilt offering, it is most holy.
And this, is the law of the guilt-bearer, —most holy, it is!
2 The guilt offering is to be killed where the burnt offering is killed, and the priest shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.
In the place where they slay the ascending-sacrifice, shall they slay the guilt-bearer; and, the blood thereof, shall one dash against the altar, round about;
3 All the fat from it shall be offered: the fat tail, the fat that covers the insides,
and, as for all the fat thereof, one shall bring near therefrom, —the fat-tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards;
4 both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which the priest is to remove together with the kidneys.
and the two kidneys, with the fat that is upon them, which is upon the loins, —and the caul upon the liver, up to the kidneys, shall he remove it.
5 He shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the Lord; it is a guilt offering.
And the priest shall make a perfume with them at the altar, an altar-flame unto Yahweh—a guilt-bearer, it is,
6 Any male among the priests may eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place, it is most holy.
Any male among the priests, may eat thereof, —in a holy place, shall it be eaten, most holy, it is.
7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the regulations are the same for both. The priest who presents the offering that ‘makes things right’ is to have it.
As the sin-bearer, so the guilt-bearer, —one law, for them, —the priest who maketh a propitiatory-covering, therewith, —to him, shall it belong,
8 In the case of ordinary burnt offerings, the priest shall have the animal's skin.
And, as for the priest who bringeth near the ascending-sacrifice of any man, the skin of the ascending-sacrifice which he hath brought near, to the priest himself, shall it belong.
9 In the same way all grain offerings that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle is for the priest who presents it,
And as for any meal-offering that may be baked in an oven, or anything that hath been prepared in a boiler or on a girdle, to the priest that bringeth it near—to him, shall it belong,
10 and all grain offerings, whether they mixed with olive oil or dry, are for all of Aaron descendants.
And, as for any meal-offering overflowed with oil or dry, —to all the sons of Aaron, shall it belong, to one as much as to another.
11 These are the regulations for the peace offering that you may present to the Lord.
And, this, is the law of the peace-offering which one may bring near unto Yahweh.
12 If you offer it in a spirit of thanks, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, you must offer bread, wafers, and well-kneaded cakes of the best flour all made without yeast and mixed or coated with olive oil.
If, for thanksgiving, he bring it near, then shall he bring near, with the thanksgiving sacrifice perforated cakes unleavened, overflowed with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil, —and of fine flour moistened, perforated cakes overflowed with oil.
13 In addition your peace offering of thanksgiving of breads made without yeast, you shall present an offering of breads made with yeast.
With perforated cakes of leavened bread, shall he bring near his oblation, with his peace-offering of thanksgiving,
14 Present one of each kind of bread of the offering as a contribution to the Lord. It is for the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.
Then shall he bring near therefrom one of each oblation, a heave-offering unto Yahweh, —to the priest who dasheth [against the altar] the blood of the peace-offering—to him, shall it belong.
15 The meat of the sacrifice of your peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten the same day you offer it. Don't leave any of it until the morning.
But, as for the flesh of his peace-offering of thanksgiving, on the day of bringing it near, shall it be eaten, —he shall not leave thereof until morning,
16 If the sacrifice you're offering is to pay a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day you present your sacrifice, but what's left can be eaten the next day.
But, if, a vow or a freewill offering, be his sacrifice of oblation, in the day he bringeth near his sacrifice, shall it be eaten, and on the morrow, then may the remainder thereof, be eaten;
17 However, any meat of the sacrifice still remaining on the third day must be burned.
but as for the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice, on the third day—in fire, shall it be consumed.
18 If you eat any of the meat from your peace offering on the third day, it won't be accepted. You won't receive credit for offering it. In fact it will be treated as something disgusting, and anyone who eats it will bear responsibility for their guilt.
And, if any of the flesh of his peace-offering, be at all eaten, on the third day, he that brought it near [shall not be accepted] it shall not be reckoned to him, unclean, shall it be, —and the person who shall eat thereof, shall bear his iniquity.
19 If this meat touches anything unclean it must not be eaten; it must be burned. This meat may be eaten by those who are ceremonially clean.
And, the flesh that toucheth anything unclean, shall not be eaten, in fire, shall it be consumed, —but, as for the [other] flesh, any one who is clean, may eat flesh.
20 If anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering given to the Lord, they must be expelled from their people.
But as for the person who shall eat flesh from the peace-offering, which pertaineth unto Yahweh, while his uncleanness is on him, then shall that person be cut off from among his kinsfolk.
21 Anyone who touches anything unclean, whether it's from a person, an unclean animal, or an unclean revolting thing, and then eats meat from the peace offering given to the Lord, they must be expelled from their people.”
Yea, as for, any person, whensoever he shall touch anything unclean—the uncleanness of man or an unclean beast, or any unclean disgusting thing, —and then eateth of the flesh of a peace-offering that pertaineth unto Yahweh, then shall that person be cut off from among his kinsfolk.
22 The Lord told Moses,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—
23 “Give these instructions to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘You must not eat any of the fat of a bull, a sheep, or a goat.
Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, —No fat, of ox or sheep or goat, shall ye eat:
24 You can use the fat of an animal found dead or killed by wild beasts for whatever purpose you want, but you must not eat it.
and though the fat of what dieth of itself and the fat of that which has been torn in pieces, may be used for any other service, yet shall ye, in nowise eat it.
25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from a food offering presented to the Lord must be expelled from their people.
Nay, as touching any one who eateth the fat of any beast, wherefrom he might bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh, then shall the person that eateth be cut off from among his kinsfolk.
26 You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your homes.
And no manner of blood, shall ye eat, in any of your dwellings, —whether of bird or of beast:
27 Anyone who eats blood must be expelled from their people.’”
as touching any person who eateth any manner of blood, then shall that person be cut off from among his kinsfolk.
28 The Lord told Moses,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
29 “Give these instructions to the Israelites. Tell them that if you present a peace offering to the Lord you must bring part of it as a special gift to the Lord.
Speak unto the sons of Israel saying, —He that offereth his peace-offering unto Yahweh, shall bring in his own oblation unto Yahweh out of his peace-offering:
30 You must personally bring the food offerings to the Lord; bring the fat as well as the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the Lord.
his own hands shall bring in the altar-flames of Yahweh, —the fat with the breast, he shall bring it in, the breast, to wave it as a wave-offering before Yahweh.
31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.
Then shall the priest make a perfume with the fat at the altar, —and the breast shall be for Aaron and for his sons.
32 Give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.
But, the right shoulder, shall ye give as a heave-offering, unto the priest, —from among your peace-offerings
33 The priest as a descendant of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the peace offering has the right thigh as his share.
he that bringeth near the blood of the peace-offerings and the fat from among the sons of Aaron, to him, shall belong the right shoulder for a portion.
34 I have required from the Israelites the breast of the wave offering and the contribution of the thigh from their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as their share from the Israelites for all time.”
For, the wave-breast and the heave-shoulder, have I taken of the sons of Israel, out of their peace-offerings, —and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons as an age-abiding statute, from the sons of Israel.
35 This is the share of the food offerings given to the Lord that belongs to Aaron and his sons since the day they were appointed to serve the Lord as priests.
This, is what pertaineth to the anointing of Aaron and to the anointing of his sons out of the altar-flames of Yahweh, —[granted] in the day when he brought them near, to minister as priests unto Yahweh:
36 From the time they were anointed, the Lord ordered that this be given them by the sons of Israel. It is their share for future generations.
which Yahweh commanded to give them in the day when he anointed them, from among the sons of Israel, —an age-abiding statute to their generations.
37 These are the regulations regarding of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering.
This is the law—for the ascending-sacrifice, for the meal-offering, and for the sin-bearer, and for the guilt-bearer, —and for the installation-offerings, and for the peace-offering:
38 The Lord gave these to Moses on Mount Sinai at the time he ordered the Israelites to give their offerings to him in the Wilderness of Sinai.
which Yahweh commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, —in the day when he commanded the sons of Israel to bring near their oblations unto Yahweh in the desert of Sinai.
