Leviticus 7:1-38 — The Guilt and Peace Offerings

Lev.7.1-38

¹This is the instruction for the guilt offering: it is most holy. ²The guilt offering shall be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and its blood shall be thrown against the altar on all sides. ³And he shall present from it all its fat: the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, ⁴also the two kidneys with the fat that is on them by the loins, and the lobe on the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. ⁵The priest shall burn them on the altar as a fire offering to Yahweh; it is a guilt offering. ⁶Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy. ⁷The guilt offering is like the sin offering; there is one instruction for them. It belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it. ⁸As for the priest who presents a man's burnt offering, the hide of the burnt offering that he presented shall belong to him. ⁹Every grain offering baked in the oven, and everything prepared in a pan or on a griddle, shall belong to the priest who presents it. ¹⁰And every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron alike. ¹¹And this is the instruction for the sacrifice of peace offerings that one may present to Yahweh: ¹²If he presents it for thanksgiving, then with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall present unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes of fine flour well mixed with oil. ¹³With cakes of leavened bread he shall present his offering with his thanksgiving sacrifice of peace offerings. ¹⁴And from it he shall present one from each offering as a contribution to Yahweh; it shall belong to the priest who throws the blood of the peace offerings. ¹⁵The flesh of his thanksgiving sacrifice of peace offerings shall be eaten on the day it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until morning. ¹⁶But if the sacrifice of his offering is for a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and what remains of it may be eaten on the next day. ¹⁷But what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned up with fire. ¹⁸If any of the flesh of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted; it shall not be credited to the one who presented it. It shall be an offensive thing , and the person who eats of it shall bear his guilt. ¹⁹Flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. But as for other flesh, everyone who is clean may eat it. ²⁰But the person who eats flesh from the sacrifice of peace offerings that belong to Yahweh , while his uncleanness is on him, that person shall be cut off from his people. ²¹And if a person touches anything unclean—human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean detestable thing—and then eats flesh from the sacrifice of peace offerings that belong to Yahweh, that person shall be cut off from his people. ²²Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²³Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: You shall eat no fat of ox, sheep, or goat. ²⁴The fat of an animal that dies naturally and the fat of one torn by beasts may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it. ²⁵For whoever eats fat from an animal from which a fire offering is presented to Yahweh, the person who eats it shall be cut off from his people. ²⁶And you shall not eat any blood in any of your dwellings, whether from bird or from animal. ²⁷Any person who eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people. ²⁸Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁹Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: The one who presents the sacrifice of his peace offerings to Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from his peace offerings. ³⁰His own hands shall bring Yahweh's fire offerings. He shall bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before Yahweh. ³¹The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons. ³²And you shall give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. ³³The son of Aaron who presents the blood of the peace offerings and the fat shall have the right thigh as his portion. ³⁴For I have taken from the sons of Israel, out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as a permanent statute from the sons of Israel. ³⁵This is the portion for Aaron and the portion for his sons from Yahweh's fire offerings, from the day they were presented to serve as priests to Yahweh. ³⁶Yahweh commanded that this be given to them by the sons of Israel on the day he anointed them. It is a permanent statute throughout their generations. ³⁷This is the instruction for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, ordination, and the sacrifice of peace offerings, ³⁸which Yahweh commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day he commanded the sons of Israel to present their offerings to Yahweh in the wilderness of Sinai.
