Leviticus 7
1 And this
is the law of the ram for the trespass-offering; it
is most holy. 2 In the place where
they slay the whole-burnt-offering, they shall slay the ram of the
trespass-offering before the Lord, and he shall pour out the blood at the
bottom of the altar round about. 3 And
he shall offer all the fat from it; and the loins, and all the fat that covers
the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
4 and the two kidneys, and the fat
that is upon them, that which is upon the thighs, and the caul upon the liver
with the kidneys, he shall take them away.
5 And the priest shall offer them on
the altar a burnt-offering to the Lord; it is for trespass.
6 Every male of the priests shall eat
them, in the holy place they shall eat them: they are most holy.
7 As the sin-offering, so also
is the trespass-offering. There is one law of them;
the priest who shall make atonement with it, his it shall be.
8 And
as for the priest who offers a man's
whole-burnt-offering, the skin of the whole-burnt-offering which he offers,
shall be his. 9 And every sacrifice
which shall be prepared in the oven, and every one which shall be prepared on
the hearth, or on a frying-pan, it is the property of the priest that offers
it; it shall be his. 10 And every
sacrifice made up with oil, or not made up with oil,
shall belong to the sons of Aaron, an equal portion to each.
11 This
is the law of the sacrifice of peace-offering, which
they shall bring to the Lord. 12 If a
man should offer it for praise, then shall he bring, for the sacrifice of
praise, loaves of fine flour made up with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed
with oil, and fine flour kneaded with oil.
13 With leavened bread he shall offer
his gifts, with the peace-offering of praise.
14 And he shall bring one of all his
gifts, a separate offering to the Lord: it shall belong to the priest who
pours forth the blood of the peace-offering.
15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of
the peace-offering of praise shall be his, and it shall be eaten in the day in
which it is offered: they shall not leave of it till the morning.
16 And if it be a vow, or he offer
his gift of his own will, on whatsoever day he shall offer his sacrifice, it
shall be eaten, and on the morrow.
17 And that which is left of the
flesh of the sacrifice till the third day, shall be consumed with fire.
18 And if he do at all eat of the
flesh on the third day, it shall not be accepted for him that offers: it shall
not be reckoned to him, it is pollution; and whatsoever soul shall eat of it,
shall bear his iniquity. 19 And
whatsoever flesh shall have touched any unclean thing, it shall not be eaten,
it shall be consumed with fire; every one that is clean shall eat the flesh.
20 And whatsoever soul shall eat of
the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offering which is the Lord's, and his
uncleanness be upon him, that soul shall perish from his people.
21 And whatsoever soul shall touch
any unclean thing, either of the uncleanness of a man, or of unclean
quadrupeds, or any unclean abominable thing, and shall eat of the flesh of the
sacrifice of the peace-offering, which is the Lord's, that soul shall perish
from his people.
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 23 Speak to the children of
Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat of oxen or sheep or goats.
24 And the fat of such animals as
have died of themselves, or have been seized of beasts, may be employed for
any work; but it shall not be eaten for food.
25 Every one that eats fat off the
beasts, from which he will bring a burnt-offering to the Lord—that soul shall
perish from his people. 26 Ye shall
eat no blood in all your habitations, either of beasts or of birds.
27 Every soul that shall eat blood,
that soul shall perish from his people.
28 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 29 Thou shalt also speak to
the children of Israel, saying, He that offers a sacrifice of peace-offering,
shall bring his gift to the Lord also from the sacrifice of peace-offering.
30 His hands shall bring the
burnt-offerings to the Lord; the fat which is on the breast and the lobe of
the liver, he shall bring them, so as to set them for a gift before the Lord.
31 And the priest shall offer the fat
upon the altar, and the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons,
32 and ye shall give the right
shoulder for a choice piece to the priest of your sacrifices of
peace-offering. 33 He that offers the
blood of the peace-offering, and the fat, of the sons of Aaron, his shall be
the right shoulder for a portion.
34 For I have taken the wave-breast
and shoulder of separation from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of
your peace-offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons,
a perpetual ordinance due from the children of
Israel. 35 This is the anointing of
Aaron, and the anointing of his sons,
their portion of the burnt-offerings of the Lord, in
the day in which he brought them forward to minister as priests to the Lord;
36 as the Lord commanded to give to
them in the day in which he anointed them of the sons of Israel, a perpetual
statute through their generations.
37 This
is the law of the whole-burnt-offerings, and of
sacrifice, and of sin-offering, and of offering for transgression, and of the
sacrifice of consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace-offering;
38 as the Lord commanded Moses in the
mount Sina, in the day in which he commanded the children of Israel to offer
their gifts before the Lord in the wilderness of Sina.
