Leviticus 6:8-Leviticus 7:34 - The Priests And The Offerings

⁸ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ⁹ Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is a law of the burnt-offering (it is the burnt-offering, because of the burning on the altar all the night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar is burning on it,) ¹⁰ that the priest hath put on his long robe of fine linen, and his fine linen trousers he doth put on his flesh, and hath lifted up the ashes which the fire consumeth with the burnt-offering on the altar, and hath put them near the altar; ¹¹ and he hath stripped off his garments, and hath put on other garments, and hath brought out the ashes unto the outside of the camp, unto a clean place. ¹² And the fire on the altar is burning on it, it is not quenched, and the priest hath burned on it wood morning by morning, and hath arranged on it the burnt-offering, and hath made perfume on it with the fat of the peace-offerings; ¹³ fire is continually burning on the altar, it is not quenched.

¹⁴ And this is a law of the present: sons of Aaron have brought it near before Jehovah unto the front of the altar, ¹⁵ and one hath lifted up of it with his hand from the flour of the present, and from its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the present, and hath made perfume on the altar, sweet fragrance -- its memorial to Jehovah. ¹⁶ And the remnant of it do Aaron and his sons eat; with unleavened things it is eaten, in the holy place, in the court of the tent of meeting they do eat it. ¹⁷ It is not baken with any thing fermented, their portion I have given it, out of My fire-offerings; it is most holy, like the sin-offering, and like the guilt-offering. ¹⁸ Every male among the sons of Aaron doth eat it -- a statute age-during to your generations, out of the fire-offerings of Jehovah: all that cometh against them is holy.'

¹⁹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ²⁰ This is an offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they bring near to Jehovah in the day of his being anointed; a tenth of the ephah of flour for a continual present, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening; ²¹ on a girdel with oil it is made -- fried thou dost bring it in; baked pieces of the present thou dost bring near, a sweet fragrance to Jehovah. ²² And the priest who is anointed in his stead, from among his sons, doth make it, -- a statute age-during of Jehovah: it is completely perfumed; ²³ and every present of a priest is a whole burnt-offering; it is not eaten.'

²⁴ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ²⁵ Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, This is a law of the sin-offering: in the place where the burnt-offering is slaughtered is the sin-offering slaughtered before Jehovah; it is most holy. ²⁶ 'The priest who is making atonement with it doth eat it, in the holy place it is eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting; ²⁷ all that cometh against its flesh is holy, and when any of its blood is sprinkled on the garment, that on which it is sprinkled thou dost wash in the holy place; ²⁸ and an earthen vessel in which it is boiled is broken, and if in a brass vessel it is boiled, then it is scoured and rinsed with water. ²⁹ Every male among the priests doth eat it -- it is most holy; ³⁰ and no sin-offering, any of whose blood is brought in unto the tent of meeting to make atonement in the sanctuary is eaten; with fire it is burnt.

¹ And this is a law of the guilt-offering: it is most holy; ² in the place where they slaughter the burnt-offering they do slaughter the guilt-offering, and its blood one doth sprinkle on the altar round about, ³ and all its fat he bringeth near out of it, the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the inwards, ⁴ and the two kidneys, and the fat which is on them, which is on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver (beside the kidneys he doth turn it aside); ⁵ and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar, a fire-offering to Jehovah; it is a guilt-offering. ⁶ Every male among the priests doth eat it; in the holy place it is eaten -- it is most holy;

⁷ as is a sin-offering, so is a guilt-offering; one law is for them; the priest who maketh atonement by it -- it is his. ⁸ 'And the priest who is bringing near any man's burnt-offering, the skin of the burnt-offering which he hath brought near, it is the priest's, his own; ⁹ and every present which is baked in an oven, and every one done in a frying-pan, and on a girdel, is the priest's who is bringing it near; it is his; ¹⁰ and every present, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron -- one as another.

¹¹ And this is a law of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which one bringeth near to Jehovah: ¹² if for a thank-offering he bring it near, then he hath brought near with the sacrifice of thank-offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and of fried flour cakes mixed with oil; ¹³ besides the cakes, fermented bread he doth bring near with his offering, besides the sacrifice of thank-offering of his peace-offerings; ¹⁴ and he hath brought near out of it one of the whole offering -- a heave-offering to Jehovah; to the priest who is sprinkling the blood of the peace-offerings -- it is his; ¹⁵ as to the flesh of the sacrifice of the thank-offering of his peace-offerings, in the day of his offering it is eaten; he doth not leave of it till morning.

¹⁶ And if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or free-will offering, in the day of his bringing near his sacrifice it is eaten; and on the morrow also the remnant of it is eaten; ¹⁷ and the remnant of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day with fire is burnt; ¹⁸ and if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings be really eaten on the third day, it is not pleasing; for him who is bringing it near it is not reckoned; it is an abominable thing, and the person who is eating of it his iniquity doth bear.

¹⁹ 'And the flesh which cometh against any unclean thing is not eaten; with fire it is burnt; as to the flesh, every clean one doth eat of the flesh; ²⁰ and the person who eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which are Jehovah's, and his uncleanness upon him, even that person hath been cut off from his people. ²¹ And when a person cometh against any thing unclean, of the uncleanness of man, or of the uncleanness of beasts, or of any unclean teeming creature, and hath eaten of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which are Jehovah's, even that person hath been cut off from his people.'

²² And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ²³ 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Any fat of ox and sheep and goat ye do not eat; ²⁴ and the fat of a carcase, and the fat of a torn thing is prepared for any work, but ye do certainly not eat it; ²⁵ for whoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which one bringeth near a fire-offering to Jehovah, even the person who eateth hath been cut off from his people. ²⁶ 'And any blood ye do not eat in all your dwellings, of fowl, or of beast; ²⁷ any person who eateth any blood, even that person hath been cut off from his people.'

²⁸ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ²⁹ 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, He who is bringing near the sacrifice of his peace-offerings to Jehovah doth bring in his offering to Jehovah from the sacrifice of his peace-offerings; ³⁰ his own hands do bring in the fire-offerings of Jehovah, the fat beside the breast, it he doth bring in with the breast, to wave it -- a wave-offering before Jehovah. ³¹ 'And the priest hath made perfume with the fat on the altar, and the breast hath been Aaron's and his sons; ³² and the right leg ye do make a heave-offering to the priest of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; ³³ he of the sons of Aaron who is bringing near the blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, his is the right leg for a portion. ³⁴ 'For the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the heave-offering, I have taken from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and I give them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a statute age-during, from the sons of Israel.'
