The In-Dept Study of the Bible
Leviticus 06
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “If anyone sins, and commits a trespass
against Yahweh, and deals falsely with his
neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed his
neighbor,
3 or has found that which was lost, and
lied about it, and swearing to a lie—in any
of these things that a man sins in his actions
4 then it shall be, if he has sinned, and
is guilty, he shall restore that which he
took by robbery, or the thing which he has
gotten by oppression, or the deposit which
was committed to him, or the lost thing
which he found,
5 or any thing about which he has sworn
falsely: he shall restore it in full, and shall
add a fifth part more to it. He shall return
it to him to whom it belongs in the day of
his being found guilty.
6 He shall bring his trespass offering to
Yahweh: a ram without defect from the
flock, according to your estimation, for a
trespass offering, to the priest.
7 The priest shall make atonement for
him before Yahweh, and he will be forgiven concerning whatever he does to become guilty.”
8 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying,
‘This is the law of the burnt offering: the
burnt offering shall be onthehearthonthe
altar all night until the morning; and the
fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
10 The priest shall put on his linen garment, andhe shall put onhis linentrousers
upon his body; and he shall remove the
ashes from where the fire has consumed
the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall
put them beside the altar.
11 He shall take off his garments, and put
on other garments, and carry the ashes
outside the camp to a clean place.
12 Thefire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; and the priest
shall burn wood on it every morning. He
shall lay the burnt offering in order upon
it, and shall burn on it the fat of the peace
offerings.
13 Fire shall be kept burning on the altar
continually; it shall not go out.
14 “ ‘This is the law of the meal offering:
the sons of Aaron shall offer it before Yahweh, before the altar.
15 He shall take from there his handful of
the fine flour of the meal offering, and of
its oil, and all the frankincense which is on
the meal offering, and shall burn it on the
altar for a pleasant aroma, as its memorial
portion, to Yahweh.
16 That which is left of it Aaron and his
sons shall eat. It shall be eaten without
yeastin a holy place. They shall eatitin the
court of the Tent of Meeting.
17 It shall not be baked with yeast. I have
given it as their portion of my offerings
made by fire. It is most holy, as are the sin
offering and the trespass offering.
18 Every male among the children of
Aaron shall eat of it, as their portion forever throughout your generations, from
the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.
Whoever touches them shall be holy.’ ”
19 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
20 “This is the offering of Aaronand of his
sons, which they shall offer to Yahweh in
the day when he is anointed: one tenth of
an ephah† of fine flour for a meal offering
perpetually, half of it in the morning, and
half of it in the evening.
21 It shall be made with oil in a griddle.
When it is soaked, you shall bring it in.
You shall offer the meal offering in baked
pieces for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
22 The anointed priest that will be in his
place from among his sons shall offer it. By
a statute forever, it shall be wholly burned
to Yahweh.
23 Every meal offering of a priest shall be
wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”
24 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: in
theplace where theburnt offering is killed,
the sin offering shall be killed before Yahweh. It is most holy.
26 The priest who offers itfor sin shall eat
it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the
court of the Tent of Meeting.
27 Whatever shall touch its flesh shall
be holy. When there is any of its blood
sprinkled on a garment, you shall wash
that on which it was sprinkled in a holy
place.
28 But the earthen vessel in which it is
boiled shall be broken; and if it is boiled
in a bronze vessel, it shall be scoured, and
rinsed in water.
29Every male among the priests shall eat
of it. It is most holy.
30 No sin offering, of which any of the
blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting
to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall
be eaten. It shall be burned with fire.
