THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS

 

Leviticus Chapter 7

1 ¶ This is the law of the guilt or trespass offering: it is most holy.

2 They shall kill the trespass offering at the place where they kill the burnt offering: and shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar.

3 And the priest shall offer all its fat; the rump, and the fat that covers the intestines,

4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul that is above the liver, he shall remove it with the kidneys:

5 And the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a trespass offering.

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

7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.

8 And the priest who offers any man’s burnt offering, shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.

9 And every food offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is prepared in the frying pan, or on a griddle, shall belong to the priest who offers it.

10 And every food offering, mixed with oil, or dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as well as another.

11 ¶ And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer to the LORD.

12 If he offers 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 of fine flour mixed and fried with oil.

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

14 And of it he shall offer one cake from each offering as a heave offering to the LORD, and it shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of thanksgiving offered as a peace offering shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; the priest shall not leave any of it until the morning.

16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice: and the remainder shall be eaten on the next day:

17 But any of the flesh of the sacrifice that remains on the third day shall be burned with fire.

18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, nor shall it be imputed to him who offered it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

19 And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire: and as for the flesh, everyone who is clean may eat of it.

20 But the soul who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain to the LORD, while being unclean, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

21 Moreover the soul that touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain to the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

23 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no manner of fat, from oxen, sheep, or goats.

24 And the fat of the beast that dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn by beasts, may be used in any other use: but you shall at no time eat of it.

25 For whoever eats the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, even the soul that eats it shall be cut off from his people.

26 Moreover you shall eat no blood of any kind, whether it is from a bird or from a beast, in any of your dwellings.

27 Whoever it is that eats any manner of blood, even that person shall be cut off from his people.

28 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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 from the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

30 His own hands shall bring the offerings to the LORD made by fire, he shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the LORD.

31 And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar: but the breast shall belong to Aaron’s and his sons’.

32 And you shall give the right shoulder to the priest for a heave offering from the sacrifices 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 shoulder for his part.

34 For I have taken the breast that was waved and the shoulder that was offered 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 by a statute forever from among the children of Israel.

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 to the LORD in the priest’s office;

36 Which the LORD commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, on the day that he anointed them, by a statute forever throughout their generations.

37 This is the law for the burnt offering, the food offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings, the offering at consecrations, and the peace offerings;

38 Which the LORD commanded Moses on mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their sacrifices to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
