Leviticus 7

1 And this is the law of the guilt offering: it is most holy.

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

2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the guilt offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle upon the altar round about.

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 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the fat tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards,

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

4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away:

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 for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a guilt offering.

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 among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in a holy place: it is most holy.

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 As is the sin offering, so is the guilt offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith, he shall have 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 And the priest that offereth any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.

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

9 And every meal offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying pan, and on the baking pan, shall be the priest’s that offereth 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 And every meal offering, mingled with oil, or dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as well as another.

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

11 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which one shall offer unto the LORD.

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

12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour soaked.

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 With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his oblation with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving.

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

14 And of it he shall offer one out of each oblation for an heave offering unto the LORD; it shall be the priest’s that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.

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 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his oblation; he shall not leave any of it until the 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 But if the sacrifice of his oblation be a vow, or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow that which remaineth of it shall be eaten:

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 but that which remaineth of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.

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

18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

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 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire. And as for the flesh, every one that is clean shall eat thereof:

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 but the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off 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 when any one shall touch any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean beast, or any unclean abomination, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, that soul 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 spake unto Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat.

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

24 And the fat of that which dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of beasts, may be used for any other service: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.

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 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off 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 And ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.

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

27 Whosoever it be that eateth any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.

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

28 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

29 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD out of the sacrifice of his peace offerings:

“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 his own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire; the fat with the breast shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.

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 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

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

32 And the right thigh shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

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

33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a 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 For the wave breast and the heave thigh have I taken of the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons as a due for ever from the children 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-portion of Aaron, and the anointing-portion of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest’s office;

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 which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is a due for ever throughout 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 burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the guilt offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice 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 commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness 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.'”
