Liber Leviticus, 6

1. Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

1. The LORD said to Moses,

2. “Praecipe Aaron et filiis eius: Haec est lex holocausti: cremabitur in foco altaris tota nocte usque mane; ignis altaris in eo ardebit.

2. "If any one sins and commits a breach of faith against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in a matter of deposit or security, or through robbery, or if he has oppressed his neighbor

3. Vestietur sacerdos tunica et feminalibus lineis super verecunda sua; tolletque cineres, quos vorans ignis exussit, et ponet iuxta altare.

3. or has found what was lost and lied about it, swearing falsely -- in any of all the things which men do and sin therein,

4. Porro spoliabitur prioribus vestimentis; indutusque aliis efferet cineres extra castra in locum mundum.

4. when one has sinned and become guilty, he shall restore what he took by robbery, or what he got by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found,

5. Ignis autem in altari semper ardebit, non exstinguetur, quem nutriet sacerdos subiciens ligna mane per singulos dies et, imposito holocausto, desuper adolebit adipes pacificorum.

5. or anything about which he has sworn falsely; he shall restore it in full, and shall add a fifth to it, and give it to him to whom it belongs, on the day of his guilt offering.

6. Ignis est iste perpetuus, qui numquam deficiet in altari.

6. And he shall bring to the priest his guilt offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, valued by you at the price for a guilt offering;

7. Haec est lex sacrificii similae, quod offerent filii Aaron coram Domino et coram altare:

7. and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD, and he shall be forgiven for any of the things which one may do and thereby become guilty."

8. tollet sacerdos ex eo pugillum similae, quae conspersa est oleo, et totum tus, quod super similam positum est; adolebitque illud in altari in odorem suavissimum, memoriale Domino.

8. The LORD said to Moses,

9. Reliquam autem partem similae comedet Aaron cum filiis suis, et panis absque fermento comedetur in loco sancto; in atrio tabernaculi conventus comedent illam.

9. "Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.

10. Ideo autem non coquetur fermentata, quia ut partem eorum dedi illam ex incensis meis: sanctum sanctorum est, sicut sacrificium pro peccato atque pro delicto;

10. And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and put his linen breeches upon his body, and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and put them beside the altar.

11. mares tantum stirpis Aaron comedent illud. Legitimum sempiternum est in generationibus vestris de incensis Domini; omnis, qui tetigerit illa, sanctificabitur”.

11. Then he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

12. Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

12. The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.

13. “Haec est oblatio Aaron et filiorum eius, quam offerre debent Domino in die unctionis ipsius: decimam partem ephi offerent similae in sacrificio sempiterno medium eius mane et medium vespere;

13. Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go out.

14. quae in sartagine oleo conspersa frigetur. Afferes eam calidam et offeres divisam minutatim, sacrificium in odorem suavissimum Domino.

14. "And this is the law of the cereal offering. The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, in front of the altar.

15. Sacerdos unctus, qui patri iure successerit, faciet illud. Legitimum sempiternum: Domino tota cremabitur;

15. And one shall take from it a handful of the fine flour of the cereal offering with its oil and all the frankincense which is on the cereal offering, and burn this as its memorial portion on the altar, a pleasing odor to the LORD.

16. omne enim sacrificium similae sacerdotum igne consumetur, nec quisquam comedet ex eo”.

16. And the rest of it Aaron and his sons shall eat; it shall be eaten unleavened in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it.

17. Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

17. It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings by fire; it is a thing most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.

18. “Loquere Aaron et filiis eius: Ista est lex sacrificii pro peccato: in loco, ubi mactatur holocaustum, mactabitur coram Domino: sanctum sanctorum est.

18. Every male among the children of Aaron may eat of it, as decreed for ever throughout your generations, from the LORD's offerings by fire; whoever touches them shall become holy."

19. Sacerdos, qui offert, comedet illud in loco sancto, in atrio tabernaculi conventus.

19. The LORD said to Moses,

20. Quidquid tetigerit carnes eius, sanctificabitur: si de sanguine illius vestis fuerit aspersa, lavabitur in loco sancto;

20. "This is the offering which Aaron and his sons shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular cereal offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

21. vas autem fictile, in quo coctum est, confringetur; quod si vas aeneum fuerit, defricabitur et lavabitur aqua.

21. It shall be made with oil on a griddle; you shall bring it well mixed, in baked pieces like a cereal offering, and offer it for a pleasing odor to the LORD.

22. Omnis masculus de genere sacerdotali vescetur carnibus eius, quia sanctum sanctorum est.

22. The priest from among Aaron's sons, who is anointed to succeed him, shall offer it to the LORD as decreed for ever; the whole of it shall be burned.

23. Omne autem sacrificium pro peccato, de cuius sanguine infertur in tabernaculum conventus ad expiandum in sanctuario, non comedetur, sed comburetur igni.

23. Every cereal offering of a priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten."

24.

24. The LORD said to Moses,

25.

25. "Say to Aaron and his sons, This is the law of the sin offering. In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD; it is most holy.

26.

26. The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it; in a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.

27.

27. Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy; and when any of its blood is sprinkled on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place.

28.

28. And the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken; but if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, that shall be scoured, and rinsed in water.

29.

29. Every male among the priests may eat of it; it is most holy.

30.

30. But no sin offering shall be eaten from which any blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place; it shall be burned with fire.
