Leviticus 07
1 “ ‘This is the law of the trespass offering: It is most holy.
2 In the place where they kill the burnt
offering, he shall kill the trespass offering;
and its blood he shall sprinkle around on
the altar.
3 He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail,
and the fat that covers the innards,
4 and he shalltake away the two kidneys,
and the fat that is on them, which is by the
loins, and the cover on the liver, with the
kidneys;
5 andthepriest shallburnthemonthe altar for an offering made by fire to Yahweh:
it is a trespass offering.
6 Every male among the priests may eat
of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is
most holy.
7 “ ‘As is the sinoffering, so is the trespass
offering; there is one law for them. The
priest who makes atonement with them
shall have it.
8 The priest who offers any man’s burnt
offering shall have for himself the skin of
the burnt offering which he has offered.
9 Every meal offering that is baked in the
oven, and all that is prepared in the pan
andonthe griddle, shallbe thepriest’s who
offers it.
10 Every meal offering, mixed with oil or
dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, one as
well as another.
11 “ ‘This is the law of the sacrifice of
peace offerings, which one shall offer to
Yahweh:
12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then
he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil,
and unleavened wafers anointed with oil,
and cakes mixed with oil.
13 He shall offer his offering with the
sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving with cakes of leavened bread.
14 Of it he shall offer one out of each
offering for a heave offering to Yahweh.
It shall be the priest’s who sprinkles the
blood of the peace offerings.
15 The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace
offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten
on the day of his offering. He shall not
leave any of it until the morning.
16 “ ‘But if the sacrifice of his offering is
a vow, or a free will offering, it shall be
eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice.
On the next day what remains of it shall be
eaten,
17 but what remains of the meat of the
sacrifice on the third day shall be burned
with fire.
18 If any of the meat of the sacrifice of his
peace offerings is eaten on the third day,
it will not be accepted, and it shall not be
credited to him who offers it. It will be an
abomination, and the soul who eats any of
it will bear his iniquity.
19 “ ‘The meat that touches any unclean
thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned
with fire. As for the meat, everyone who is
clean may eat it;
20 butthe soul who eats ofthe meat ofthe
sacrifice of peace offerings that belongs to
Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him,
that soul shall be cut off from his people.
21 When anyone touches any unclean
thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal, or any unclean abomination, and eats some of the meat of the
sacrifice of peace offerings which belong
to Yahweh, that soul shall be cut off from
his people.’ ”
22 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23 “Speak to the childrenofIsrael, saying,
‘You shall eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or
goat.
24 The fat of that which dies of itself, and
the fat ofthat whichis tornof animals, may
be used for any other service, but you shall
in no way eat of it.
25 For whoever eats the fat of the animal
which men offer as an offering made by
fire to Yahweh, even the soul who eats it
shall be cut off from his people.
26 You shall not eat any blood, whether
it is of bird or of animal, in any of your
dwellings.
27 Whoever it is who eats any blood, that
soul shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
28 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
29 “Speak to the childrenofIsrael, saying,
‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to Yahweh shall bring his offering
to Yahweh out of the sacrifice of his peace
offerings.
30 With his own hands he shall bring
the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. He
shall bring the fat with the breast, that the
breast may be waved for a wave offering
before Yahweh.
31 The priest shall burn the fat on the
altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and
his sons’.
32 The right thigh you shall give to the
priest for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
33 He among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings, and
the fat, shall have the right thigh for a
portion.
34 For the waved breast and the heaved
thigh I have taken from the children of
Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace
offerings, and have given them to Aaron
the priest and to his sons as their portion
forever from the children of Israel.’ ”
35 This is the consecrated portion of
Aaron, and the consecrated portion of his
sons, out of the offerings of Yahweh made
by fire, in the day when he presented them
to minister to Yahweh in the priest’s office;
36 which Yahweh commanded to be
given them of the children of Israel, in the
day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations.
37 This is the law of the burnt offering,
the meal offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the consecration, and the
sacrifice of peace offerings
38 which Yahweh commanded Moses in
Mount Sinaiinthe day that he commanded
the children of Israel to offer their offerings to Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai.
