Leviticus 7

1 “‘This is the law of the trespass 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, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle around on 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 He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards,

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

4 and he shall take 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;

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 on the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a trespass 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 may eat of it. 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 trespass offering; there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with them 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 The priest who offers any man’s burnt offering shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.

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

9 Every meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is prepared in the pan and on the griddle, shall be the priest’s 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 Every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.

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 sacrifice of peace offerings, which one shall offer to the LORD:

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

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 He shall offer his offering with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving with cakes of leavened bread.

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

14 Of it he shall offer one out of each offering for a heave offering to the LORD. It shall be the priest’s who sprinkles 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 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.

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 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,

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 what remains of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.

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

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.

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 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;

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 who eats of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings that belongs to the LORD, having his uncleanness on 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 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 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 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘You shall eat no fat, of bull, 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 The fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of animals, may be used for any other service, but you shall in no way 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 whoever eats the fat of the animal which men offer as an offering made by fire to the LORD, even the soul who eats 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 You shall not eat any blood, whether it is of bird or of animal, 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 Whoever it is who eats 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 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

So Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

29 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to 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 With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, 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 The priest shall burn the fat on 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 The right thigh you shall give to the priest for a 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 who offers 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 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.’”

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 consecrated portion of Aaron, and the consecrated portion of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to 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 their portion forever 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, the meal offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the consecration, and 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 offerings to 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.'”
