LEVITICUS: CHAPTER
5:14-7:38
14 Then the LORD
spoke to Moses, saying,
15 "If a person acts unfaithfully and sins
unintentionally against the LORD'S
holy things, then he shall bring his guilt offering to the LORD:
a ram without defect from the flock, according to your valuation in
silver by shekels, in terms of the shekel of the sanctuary,
for a guilt offering.
16 "He shall make restitution for that which
he has sinned against the holy thing, and shall add to it a fifth
part of it and give it to the priest. The priest shall then make atonement
for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and it will be forgiven
him.
17 "Now if a person sins and does any
of the things which the LORD has commanded
not to be done, though he was unaware, still he is guilty and shall
bear his punishment.
18 "He is then to bring to the priest a ram
without defect from the flock, according to your valuation, for a
guilt offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his error in which he sinned unintentionally and did not know it,
and it will be forgiven him.
19 "It is a guilt offering; he was certainly
guilty before the LORD."
LEVITICUS: CHAPTER
6
Guilt Offering
1 Then the LORD spoke
to Moses, saying,
2 "When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against
the LORD, and deceives his companion in regard
to a deposit or a security entrusted to him, or through robbery,
or if he has extorted from his companion,
3 or has found what was lost and lied about it
and sworn falsely, so that he sins in regard to any one of the things
a man may do;
4 then it shall be, when he sins and becomes
guilty, that he shall restore what he took by robbery or what he got
by extortion, or the deposit which was entrusted to him or the lost
thing which he found,
5 or anything about which he swore falsely; he
shall make restitution for it in full and add to it one-fifth more.
He shall give it to the one to whom it belongs on the day he presents
his guilt offering.
6 "Then he shall bring to the priest his guilt
offering to the LORD, a ram without defect from
the flock, according to your valuation, for a guilt offering,
7 and the priest shall make atonement for him
before the LORD, and he will be forgiven for
any one of the things which he may have done to incur guilt."
The Priest's
Part in the Offerings
8 Then the LORD
spoke to Moses, saying,
9 "Command Aaron and his sons, saying, 'This
is the law for the burnt offering: the burnt offering itself shall
remain on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and
the fire on the altar is to be kept burning on it.
10 'The priest is to put on his linen robe, and
he shall put on undergarments next to his flesh; and he shall take up
the ashes to which the fire reduces the burnt offering on the
altar and place them beside the altar.
11 'Then he shall take off his garments and put
on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.
12 'The fire on the altar shall be kept burning
on it. It shall not go out, but the priest shall burn wood on it every
morning; and he shall lay out the burnt offering on it, and offer up
in smoke the fat portions of the peace offerings on it.
13 'Fire shall be kept burning continually on
the altar; it is not to go out.
14 'Now this is the law of the grain offering:
the sons of Aaron shall present it before the LORD
in front of the altar.
15 'Then one of them shall lift up from
it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with its oil and
all the incense that is on the grain offering, and he shall offer it
up in smoke on the altar, a soothing aroma, as its memorial offering
to the LORD.
16 'What is left of it Aaron and his sons are
to eat. It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; they
are to eat it in the court of the tent of meeting.
17 'It shall not be baked with leaven. I have
given it as their share from My offerings by fire; it is most holy,
like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
18 'Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat
it; it is a permanent ordinance throughout your generations, from the
offerings by fire to the LORD. Whoever touches
them will become consecrated.' "
19 Then the LORD
spoke to Moses, saying,
20 "This is the offering which Aaron and his
sons are to present to the LORD on the day when
he is anointed; the tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain
offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.
21 "It shall be prepared with oil on a griddle.
When it is well stirred, you shall bring it. You shall present
the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to the LORD.
22 "The anointed priest who will be in his place
among his sons shall offer it. By a permanent ordinance it shall be
entirely offered up in smoke to the LORD.
23 "So every grain offering of the priest shall
be burned entirely. It shall not be eaten."
24 Then the LORD
spoke to Moses, saying,
25 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This
is the law of the sin offering: in the place where the burnt offering
is slain the sin offering shall be slain before the LORD;
it is most holy.
26 'The priest who offers it for sin shall eat
it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the tent of meeting.
27 'Anyone who touches its flesh will become
consecrated; and when any of its blood splashes on a garment, in a holy
place you shall wash what was splashed on.
28 'Also the earthenware vessel in which it was
boiled shall be broken; and if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then
it shall be scoured and rinsed in water.
29 'Every male among the priests may eat of it;
it is most holy.
30 'But no sin offering of which any of the blood
is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place
shall be eaten; it shall be burned with fire.
LEVITICUS: CHAPTER
7
The Priest's
Part in the Offerings
1 'Now this is the law of the guilt offering;
it is most holy.
2 'In the place where they slay the burnt offering
they are to slay the guilt offering, and he shall sprinkle its blood
around on the altar.
3 'Then he shall offer from it all its fat: the
fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails,
4 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on
them, which is on the loins, and the lobe on the liver he shall remove
with the kidneys.
5 'The priest shall offer them up in smoke on
the altar as an offering by fire to the LORD;
it is a guilt offering.
6 'Every male among the priests may eat of it.
It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
7 'The guilt offering is like the sin offering,
there is one law for them; the priest who makes atonement with it shall
have it.
8 'Also the priest who presents any man's burnt
offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering
which he has presented.
9 'Likewise, every grain offering that is baked
in the oven and everything prepared in a pan or on a griddle shall belong
to the priest who presents it.
10 'Every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry,
shall belong to all the sons of Aaron, to all alike.
11 'Now this is the law of the sacrifice
of peace offerings which shall be presented to the LORD.
12 'If he offers it by way of thanksgiving, then
along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes
mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes of
well stirred fine flour mixed with oil.
13 'With the sacrifice of his peace offerings
for thanksgiving, he shall present his offering with cakes of leavened
bread.
14 'Of this he shall present one of every offering
as a contribution to the LORD; it shall belong
to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.
15 'Now as for the flesh of the
sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings, it shall be eaten on
the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it over until morning.
16 'But if the sacrifice of his offering is a
votive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he
offers his sacrifice, and on the next day what is left of it may be
eaten;
17 but what is left over from the flesh of the
sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.
18 'So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of
his peace offerings should ever be eaten on the third day, he
who offers it will not be accepted, and it will not be reckoned
to his benefit. It shall be an offensive thing, and the person
who eats of it will bear his own iniquity.
19 'Also the flesh that touches anything
unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. As for other
flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh.
20 'But the person who eats the flesh of the
sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD,
in his uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from his people.
21 'When anyone touches anything unclean, whether
human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any unclean detestable thing,
and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong
to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from
his people.' "
22 Then the LORD
spoke to Moses, saying,
23 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'You
shall not eat any fat from an ox, a sheep or a goat.
24 'Also the fat of an animal which dies
and the fat of an animal torn by beasts may be put to any other
use, but you must certainly not eat it.
25 'For whoever eats the fat of the animal from
which an offering by fire is offered to the LORD,
even the person who eats shall be cut off from his people.
26 'You are not to eat any blood, either of bird
or animal, in any of your dwellings.
27 'Any person who eats any blood, even that
person shall be cut off from his people.' "
28 Then the LORD
spoke to Moses, saying,
29 "Speak to the sons 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 are to bring offerings by fire
to the LORD. He shall bring the fat with the
breast, that the breast may be presented as a wave offering before the
LORD.
31 'The priest shall offer up the fat in smoke
on the altar, but the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons.
32 'You shall give the right thigh to the priest
as a contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
33 'The one among the sons of Aaron who offers
the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, the right thigh shall
be his as his portion.
34 'For I have taken the breast of the wave offering
and the thigh of the contribution from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices
of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and
to his sons as their due forever from the sons of Israel.
35 'This is that which is consecrated
to Aaron and that which is consecrated to his sons from the offerings
by fire to the LORD, in that day when he presented
them to serve as priests to the LORD.
36 'These the LORD had
commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel in the day that He
anointed them. It is their due forever throughout their generations.' "
37 This is the law of the burnt offering,
the grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering and the
ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings,
38 which the LORD commanded
Moses at Mount Sinai in the day that He commanded the sons of Israel
to present their offerings to the LORD in the
wilderness of Sinai. |
