Leviticus 7

¹Likewise, this is the law of the sacrifice for a transgression. It is the Holy of holies.

²Therefore, where the holocaust is immolated, the victim for a transgression shall also be slain. Its blood shall be poured out all around the altar.

³They shall offer from it: the rump, and the fat that covers the vital organs,

⁴the two little kidneys, and the fat that is near the sides, and the mesh of the liver with the little kidneys.

⁵And the priest shall burn them upon the altar. It is the incense of the Lord on behalf of a transgression.

⁶Every male of priestly descent shall feed on this flesh in a holy place, because it is the Holy of holies.

⁷Just as the sacrifice for sin is offered, so also for a transgression; one law shall be for both sacrifices. It shall belong to the priest who offers it.

⁸The priest who offers the victim of holocaust shall have its skin.

⁹And every sacrifice of fine wheat flour which is baked in the oven, and whatever is prepared on the oven grating or in the frying pan, shall be for the priest who offers it.

¹⁰Whether these will be sprinkled with oil, or left dry, an equal measure shall be divided to each one of the sons of Aaron.

¹¹This is the law of the victim of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord.

¹²If the oblation will be an act for giving thanks, they shall offer bread without leaven sprinkled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine wheat flour fried, and cakes sprinkled and mixed with oil,

¹³and also, leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, which is immolated for peace offerings.

¹⁴Of these, one shall be offered to the Lord as the first-fruits, and one shall be for the priest who will pour out the blood of the victim.

¹⁵The flesh of it shall be eaten on the same day; neither shall any of it remain until morning.

¹⁶If anyone, by a vow or of his own accord, will have offered a sacrifice, it shall be eaten in a similar manner on the same day. But then if any of it will have remained until tomorrow, it is lawful to eat it.

¹⁷Then whatever will be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.

¹⁸If anyone will have eaten from the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation will be nullified; neither will it benefit the one who offered it. But instead, whatever soul will contaminate itself with such foods will be guilty of a betrayal.

¹⁹The flesh that has touched anything unclean shall not be eaten, but it shall be burnt with fire. He that is clean will feed on it.

²⁰If a soul which is polluted will have eaten from the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall perish from his people.

²¹And whoever will have touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of anything which is able to defile, and who will have eaten from this kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his people.

²²And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

²³Say to the sons of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat.

²⁴The fat of a carcass that has died on its own, or of an animal that has been seized by a wild beast, you shall have for various uses.

²⁵If anyone will have eaten the fat which ought to be offered as a burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish from his people.

²⁶Likewise, you shall not take as food the blood of any animals at all, whether of birds or beasts.

²⁷Every soul that will have eaten blood shall perish from his people.

²⁸And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

²⁹Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: Whoever offers a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him also offer at the same time a sacrifice, that is, its libations.

³⁰He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. And when he will have offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,

³¹who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.

³²Likewise also, the right shoulder of the victim of peace offerings shall fall to the priest as first-fruits.

³³Among the sons of Aaron, whoever will have offered the blood and the fat, the same one shall also have the right shoulder for his portion.

³⁴So then, the breast that is lifted up, and the shoulder that is separated, I have taken from the sons of Israel, from their victims of peace offerings, and I have given these to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a law in perpetuity, from all the people of Israel.

³⁵This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, by the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, so that they may fulfill the priesthood,

³⁶and this is what the Lord instructed to be given to them by the sons of Israel, as a perpetual observance in their generations.

³⁷This is the law of the holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for transgression, and for consecration, and for the victims of peace offerings,

³⁸which the Lord appointed to Moses on mount Sinai, when he commanded the sons of Israel to offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.

Leviticus 7

¹This also is the law of the sacrifice for a trespass: it is most holy.

²Therefore where the holocaust is immolated, the victim also for a trespass shall be slain: the blood thereof shall be poured round about the altar.

³They shall offer thereof the rump and the fat that covereth the entrails:

⁴The two little kidneys, and the fat which is by the flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys.

⁵And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the burnt sacrifice of the Lord for a trespass.

⁶Every male of the priestly race, shall eat this flesh in a holy place, because it is most holy.

⁷As the sacrifice for sin is offered, so is also that for a trespass: the same shall be the law of both these sacrifices. It shall belong to the priest that offereth it.

⁸The priest that offereth the victim of holocaust, shall have the skin thereof.

⁹And every sacrifice of flour that is baked in the oven, and whatsoever is dressed on the gridiron, or in the fryingpan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.

¹⁰Whether they be tempered with oil, or dry, all the sons of Aaron shall have one as much as another.

¹¹This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that is offered to the Lord.

¹²If the oblation be for thanksgiving, they shall offer loaves without leaven tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried, and cakes tempered and mingled with oil.

¹³Moreover loaves of leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanks, which is offered for peace offerings:

¹⁴Of which one shall be offered to the Lord for firstfruits, and shall be the priest's that shall pour out the blood of the victim.

¹⁵And the flesh of it shall be eaten the same day: neither shall any of it remain until the morning.

¹⁶If any man by vow, or of his own accord offer a sacrifice, it shall in like manner be eaten the same day. And if any of it remain until the morrow, it is lawful to eat it.

¹⁷But whatsoever shall be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.

¹⁸If any man eat of the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation shall be of no effect: neither shall it profit the offerer. Yea rather, whatsoever soul shall defile itself with such meat, shall be guilty of transgression.

¹⁹The flesh that hath touched any unclean thing, shall not be eaten: but shall be burnt with fire. He that is clean shall eat of it.

²⁰If any one that is defiled shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall be cut off from his people.

²¹And he that hath touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of any thing that can defile, and shall eat of such kind of flesh: shall be cut off from his people.

²²And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

²³Say to the children of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat.

²⁴The fat of a carcass that hath died of itself, and of a beast that was caught by another beast, you shall have for divers uses.

²⁵If any man eat the fat that should be offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish out of his people.

²⁶Moreover you shall not eat the blood of any creature whatsoever, whether of birds or beasts.

²⁷Every one that eateth blood, shall perish from among the people.

²⁸And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

²⁹Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer therewith a sacrifice also, that is, the libations thereof.

³⁰He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. And when he hath offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,

³¹Who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.

³²The right shoulder also of the victim, of peace offerings shall fall to the priest for firstfruits.

³³He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood, and the fat: he shall have the right shoulder also for his portion.

³⁴For the breast that is elevated and the shoulder that is separated I have taken of the children of Israel, from off their victims of peace offerings: and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a law for ever, from all the people of Israel.

³⁵This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, in the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, that they might do the office of priesthood,

³⁶And the things that the Lord commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, by a perpetual observance in their generations.

³⁷This is the law of holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for trespass, and for consecration, and the victims of peace offerings:

³⁸Which the Lord appointed to Moses in mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel, that they should offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.
