Leviticus 7

1 “And this will be a law of the guilt-offering: it will be most holy; 2 in the place where they slaughter the burnt-offering they slaughter the guilt-offering, and he sprinkles its blood on the altar all around, 3 and brings near all its fat from it, the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the innards, 4 and the two kidneys, and the fat which is on them, which is on the flanks, and the redundance on the liver above the kidneys—he will turn it aside. 5 And the priest will make them an incense on the altar, a fire-offering to YHWH. It will be a guilt-offering. 6 Every male among the priests will eat it. It will be eaten in a holy place—it will be most holy. 7 As will be a sin-offering, so will be a guilt-offering. One law is for them. The priest who makes atonement by it—it will be his. 8 And the priest who brings any man’s burnt-offering near, the skin of the burnt-offering which he brings near, it is the priest’s, his own. 9 And every present which is baked in an oven, and all done in a frying-pan, and on a griddle, will be the priest’s who is bringing it near. It will be his. 10 And every present, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron—one as another. 11 And this will be a law of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which one brings near to YHWH: 12 if he brings it near for a thank-offering, then he brings near with the sacrifice of thank-offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and of stirred flour cakes mixed with oil. 13 Besides the cakes, he will bring fermented bread near with his offering, besides the sacrifice of thank-offering of his peace-offerings. 14 And he will bring near from it one cake from every offering as a raised-offering to YHWH for the priest who will be sprinkling the blood of the peace-offerings. It will be for him. 15 As for the flesh of the sacrifice of the thank-offering of his peace-offerings, it will be eaten in the day of his offering. He will not leave of it until morning. 16 And if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or free-will offering, it will be eaten in the day of his bringing his sacrifice near. And on the next day the remnant of it will also be eaten. 17 And the remnant of the flesh of the sacrifice will be burnt with fire on the third day. 18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings is eaten at all on the third day, it will not be pleasing. It will not be reckoned for him who will bring it near. It will be an abomination, and the person who will eat of it bears his iniquity. 19 And the flesh which comes against any unclean thing will not be eaten. It will be burnt with fire. As for the flesh, every clean one will eat of the flesh. 20 And the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which are YHWH’s, and his uncleanness will be on him, indeed, that person will be cut off from his people. 21 And when a person comes against anything unclean, of the uncleanness of man, or of the uncleanness of beasts, or of any unclean teeming creature, and has eaten of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which are YHWH’s, indeed, that person will be cut off from his people.” 22 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, You will not eat any fat of ox, and sheep, and goat. 24 And the fat of a carcass, and the fat of a torn thing, will be prepared for any work, but you certainly do not eat it. 25 for whoever eats the fat of the beast, of which one brings near as a fire-offering to YHWH, indeed, the person who eats it will be cut off from his people. 26 And you do not eat any blood in all your settlements, of bird, or of beast. 27 Any person who eats any blood, indeed, that person will be cut off from his people.” 28 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 29 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, He who brings the sacrifice of his peace-offerings near to YHWH brings in his offering to YHWH from the sacrifice of his peace-offerings. 30 His own hands bring in the fire-offerings of YHWH. The fat beside the breast—he will bring it in with the breast to wave it as a wave-offering before YHWH. 31 And the priest will make incense with the fat on the altar, and the breast will be Aaron’s and his sons. 32 And you give the right leg to the priest as a raised-offering of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings. 33 He from the sons of Aaron who will bring the blood of the peace-offerings and the fat near—the right leg is for a portion for him. 34 For I will take the breast of the wave-offering and the leg of the raised-offering from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and I will give them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a continuous statute, from the sons of Israel.” 35 This will be an anointed portion for Aaron, and an anointed portion for his sons out of the fire-offerings of YHWH, in the day he brings them near to act as priest of YHWH, 36 which YHWH had commanded to give to them from the sons of Israel, in the day of His anointing them—a continuous statute throughout their generations. 37 This will be the law for burnt-offering, for present, and for sin-offering, and for guilt-offering, and for consecrations, and for a sacrifice of the peace-offerings, 38 which YHWH had commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day of His commanding the sons of Israel to bring their offerings near to YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai.
