| 1“These are the instructions for the guilt offering. It is most holy. | 1"'This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy. |
| 2The animal sacrificed as a guilt offering must be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered, and its blood must be splattered against all sides of the altar. | 2In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they must slaughter the guilt offering, and the officiating priest must splash the blood against the altar's sides. |
| 3The priest will then offer all its fat on the altar, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, | 3Then the one making the offering must present all its fat: the fatty tail, the fat covering the entrails, |
| 4the two kidneys and the fat around them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver. These are to be removed with the kidneys, | 4the two kidneys and the fat on their sinews, and the protruding lobe on the liver (which he must remove along with the kidneys). |
| 5and the priests will burn them on the altar as a special gift presented to the LORD. This is the guilt offering. | 5Then the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar as a gift to the LORD. It is a guilt offering. |
| 6Any male from a priest’s family may eat the meat. It must be eaten in a sacred place, for it is most holy. | 6Any male among the priests may eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy. |
| 7“The same instructions apply to both the guilt offering and the sin offering. Both belong to the priest who uses them to purify someone, making that person right with the LORD. | 7The law is the same for the sin offering and the guilt offering; it belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it. |
| 8In the case of the burnt offering, the priest may keep the hide of the sacrificed animal. | 8"'As for the priest who presents someone's burnt offering, the hide of that burnt offering which he presented belongs to him. |
| 9Any grain offering that has been baked in an oven, prepared in a pan, or cooked on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it. | 9Every grain offering which is baked in the oven or made in the pan or on the griddle belongs to the priest who presented it. |
| 10All other grain offerings, whether made of dry flour or flour moistened with olive oil, are to be shared equally among all the priests, the descendants of Aaron. Further Instructions for the Peace Offering | 10Every grain offering, whether mixed with olive oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, each one alike. |
| 11“These are the instructions regarding the different kinds of peace offerings that may be presented to the LORD. | 11"'This is the law of the peace offering sacrifice which he is to present to the LORD. |
| 12If you present your peace offering as an expression of thanksgiving, the usual animal sacrifice must be accompanied by various kinds of bread made without yeast—thin cakes mixed with olive oil, wafers spread with oil, and cakes made of choice flour mixed with olive oil. | 12If he presents it on account of thanksgiving, along with the thank offering sacrifice he must present unleavened loaves mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers smeared with olive oil, and well soaked ring-shaped loaves made of choice wheat flour mixed with olive oil. |
| 13This peace offering of thanksgiving must also be accompanied by loaves of bread made with yeast. | 13He must present this grain offering in addition to ring-shaped loaves of leavened bread which regularly accompany the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offering. |
| 14One of each kind of bread must be presented as a gift to the LORD. It will then belong to the priest who splatters the blood of the peace offering against the altar. | 14He must present one of each kind of grain offering as a contribution offering to the LORD; it belongs to the priest who splashes the blood of the peace offering. |
| 15The meat of the peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the same day it is offered. None of it may be saved for the next morning. | 15The meat of his thanksgiving peace offering must be eaten on the day of his offering; he must not set any of it aside until morning. |
| 16“If you bring an offering to fulfill a vow or as a voluntary offering, the meat must be eaten on the same day the sacrifice is offered, but whatever is left over may be eaten on the second day. | 16"'If his offering is a votive or freewill sacrifice, it may be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and also the leftovers from it may be eaten on the next day, |
| 17Any meat left over until the third day must be completely burned up. | 17but the leftovers from the meat of the sacrifice must be burned up in the fire on the third day. |
| 18If any of the meat from the peace offering is eaten on the third day, the person who presented it will not be accepted by the LORD. You will receive no credit for offering it. By then the meat will be contaminated; if you eat it, you will be punished for your sin. | 18If some of the meat of his peace offering sacrifice is ever eaten on the third day it will not be accepted; it will not be accounted to the one who presented it, since it is spoiled, and the person who eats from it will bear his punishment for iniquity. |
| 19“Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean may not be eaten; it must be completely burned up. The rest of the meat may be eaten, but only by people who are ceremonially clean. | 19The meat which touches anything ceremonially unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned up in the fire. As for ceremonially clean meat, everyone who is ceremonially clean may eat the meat. |
| 20If you are ceremonially unclean and you eat meat from a peace offering that was presented to the LORD, you will be cut off from the community. | 20The person who eats meat from the peace offering sacrifice which belongs to the LORD while his uncleanness persists will be cut off from his people. |
| 21If you touch anything that is unclean (whether it is human defilement or an unclean animal or any other unclean, detestable thing) and then eat meat from a peace offering presented to the LORD, you will be cut off from the community.” The Forbidden Blood and Fat | 21When a person touches anything unclean (whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or an unclean detestable creature) and eats some of the meat of the peace offering sacrifice which belongs to the LORD, that person will be cut off from his people.'" |
| 22Then the LORD said to Moses, | 22Then the LORD spoke to Moses: |
| 23“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. You must never eat fat, whether from cattle, sheep, or goats. | 23"Tell the Israelites, 'You must not eat any fat of an ox, sheep, or goat. |
| 24The fat of an animal found dead or torn to pieces by wild animals must never be eaten, though it may be used for any other purpose. | 24Moreover, the fat of an animal that has died of natural causes and the fat of an animal torn by beasts may be used for any other purpose, but you must certainly never eat it. |
| 25Anyone who eats fat from an animal presented as a special gift to the LORD will be cut off from the community. | 25If anyone eats fat from the animal from which he presents a gift to the LORD, that person will be cut off from his people. |
| 26No matter where you live, you must never consume the blood of any bird or animal. | 26And you must not eat any blood of the birds or the domesticated land animals in any of the places where you live. |
| 27Anyone who consumes blood will be cut off from the community.” A Portion for the Priests | 27Any person who eats any blood--that person will be cut off from his people.'" |
| 28Then the LORD said to Moses, | 28Then the LORD spoke to Moses: |
| 29“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. When you present a peace offering to the LORD, bring part of it as a gift to the LORD. | 29"Tell the Israelites, 'The one who presents his peace offering sacrifice to the LORD must bring his offering to the LORD from his peace offering sacrifice. |
| 30Present it to the LORD with your own hands as a special gift to the LORD. Bring the fat of the animal, together with the breast, and lift up the breast as a special offering to the LORD. | 30With his own hands he must bring the LORD's gifts. He must bring the fat with the breast to wave the breast as a wave offering before the LORD, |
| 31Then the priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his descendants. | 31and the priest must offer the fat up in smoke on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his sons. |
| 32Give the right thigh of your peace offering to the priest as a gift. | 32The right thigh you must give as a contribution offering to the priest from your peace offering sacrifices. |
| 33The right thigh must always be given to the priest who offers the blood and the fat of the peace offering. | 33The one from Aaron's sons who presents the blood of the peace offering and fat will have the right thigh as his share, |
| 34For I have reserved the breast of the special offering and the right thigh of the sacred offering for the priests. It is the permanent right of Aaron and his descendants to share in the peace offerings brought by the people of Israel. | 34for the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution offering I have taken from the Israelites out of their peace offering sacrifices and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the people of Israel as a perpetual allotted portion.'" |
| 35This is their rightful share. The special gifts presented to the LORD have been reserved for Aaron and his descendants from the time they were set apart to serve the LORD as priests. | 35This is the allotment of Aaron and the allotment of his sons from the LORD's gifts on the day Moses presented them to serve as priests to the LORD. |
| 36On the day they were anointed, the LORD commanded the Israelites to give these portions to the priests as their permanent share from generation to generation.” | 36This is what the LORD commanded to give to them from the Israelites on the day Moses anointed them--a perpetual allotted portion throughout their generations. |
| 37These are the instructions for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, as well as the ordination offering and the peace offering. | 37This is the law for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering sacrifice, |
| 38The LORD gave these instructions to Moses on Mount Sinai when he commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai. | 38which the LORD commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai. |
