Leviticus, 7

1. ' "This is the ritual for the sacrifice of reparation: "It is especially holy.

1. Likewise this [is] the law of the trespass offering: it [is] most holy.

2. The victim must be slaughtered where the burnt offerings are slaughtered, and the priest will pour the blood all around the altar.

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

3. He will then offer all the fat: the tail, the fat covering the entrails,

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

4. both kidneys, the fat on them and on the loins, the mass of fat which he will remove from the liver and kidneys.

4. And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which [is] by the flanks, and the caul [that is] above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:

5. The priest will burn these pieces on the altar as food burnt for Yahweh. This is a sacrifice of reparation.

5. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar [for] an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a trespass offering.

6. Every male who is a priest may eat it. It will be eaten inside the holy place; it is especially holy.

6. Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it [is] most holy.

7. "As with the sacrifice for sin, so with the sacrifice of reparation -- the ritual is the same for both. The offering with which the priest performs the rite of expiation will revert to the priest.

7. As the sin offering [is], so [is] the trespass offering: [there is] one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have [it].

8. The hide of the victim presented by someone to the priest to be offered as a burnt offering will revert to the priest.

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.

9. Every cereal offering baked in the oven, every cereal offering cooked in the pan or on the griddle will revert to the priest who offers it.

9. And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.

10. Every cereal offering, mixed with oil or dry, will revert to all the descendants of Aaron without distinction.

10. And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one [as much] as another.

11. "This is the ritual for the communion sacrifice to be offered to Yahweh:

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

12. "If this is offered as a sacrifice with praise, to the latter must be added an offering of unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and wheaten flour in the form of cakes mixed with oil.

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, fried.

13. This offering, then, must be added to the cakes of leavened bread and to the communion sacrifice with praise.

13. Besides the cakes, he shall offer [for] his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.

14. One of the cakes of this offering must be presented as an offering to Yahweh; it will revert to the priest who pours out the blood of the communion sacrifice.

14. And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation [for] an heave offering unto the LORD, [and] it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.

15. The meat of the victim will be eaten on the day the offering is made; nothing may be left until next morning.

15. And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

16. "If the victim is offered as a votive or a voluntary sacrifice, it must be eaten on the day it is offered, and the remainder may be eaten on the following day;

16. But if the sacrifice of his offering [be] a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:

17. but on the third day whatever is left of the meat of the victim must be burnt.

17. But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.

18. "If any of the meat of a victim offered as a communion sacrifice is eaten on the third day, the person who has offered it will not be acceptable and will receive no credit for it. It will count as rotten meat, and the person who eats it will bear the consequences of the guilt.

18. And if [any] of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all 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.

19. "Meat that has touched anything unclean cannot be eaten; it must be burnt. "Anyone clean may eat the meat,

19. And the flesh that toucheth any unclean [thing] shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.

20. but anyone unclean who eats the meat of a communion sacrifice offered to Yahweh will be outlawed from his people.

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, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

21. Furthermore, if anyone touches anything unclean, human or animal, or any foul thing, and then eats the meat of a communion sacrifice offered to Yahweh, that individual will be outlawed from his people." '

21. Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean [thing, as] the uncleanness of man, or [any] unclean beast, or any abominable unclean [thing], and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which [pertain] unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

22. Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

22. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

23. 'Speak to the Israelites and say: "You may not eat the fat of ox, sheep or goat.

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

24. The fat of an animal that has died a natural death or been savaged by beasts may be used for any other purpose, but you are not to eat it.

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

25. Anyone who eats the fat of an animal offered as food burnt for Yahweh will be outlawed from his people.

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.

26. "Wherever you live, you will never eat blood, whether it be of bird or of beast.

26. Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, [whether it be] of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.

27. Anyone who eats any blood will be outlawed from his people." '

27. Whatsoever soul [it be] that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

28. Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

28. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

29. 'Speak to the Israelites and say: "Anyone who offers Yahweh a communion sacrifice must bring him part of his sacrifice as an offering.

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 of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

30. He must bring the food to be burnt for Yahweh, that is to say, the fat adhering to the forequarters, with his own hands. He will bring it, and also the forequarters, with which he will make the gesture of offering before Yahweh.

30. His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved [for] a wave offering before the LORD.

31. The priest will then burn the fat on the altar, and the forequarters will revert to Aaron and his descendants.

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

32. You will set aside the right thigh from your communion sacrifice and give it to the priest.

32. And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest [for] an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

33. The right thigh will be the portion of the descendant of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the communion sacrifice.

33. He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for [his] part.

34. For I have deprived the Israelites of the forequarter offered and the thigh presented in their communion sacrifices, and given them to the priest Aaron and his descendants; this is a perpetual law for the Israelites." '

34. For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.

35. Such was the portion of Aaron and his descendants in the food burnt for Yahweh, the day he presented them to Yahweh for them to become his priests.

35. This [is the portion] of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing 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;

36. This was what Yahweh ordered the Israelites to give them on the day they were anointed: a perpetual law for all their descendants.

36. Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, [by] a statute for ever throughout their generations.

37. Such was the ritual for burnt offering, cereal offering, sacrifice for sin, sacrifice of reparation, investiture sacrifice and communion sacrifice,

37. This [is] the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;

38. which Yahweh laid down for Moses on Mount Sinai, the day he ordered the Israelites to make their offerings to Yahweh in the desert of Sinai.

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.
