Therefore you must distinguish the clean animal from the unclean one, and the unclean bird from the clean one. Do not become contaminated by any land animal, bird, or whatever crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.

If any of the meat of his fellowship sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presents it; it is repulsive. The person who eats any of it will be responsible for his sin.

“Now if any of the common people sins unintentionally by violating one of the Lord’s commands, does what is prohibited, and incurs guilt,

Then the Lord summoned Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting:

The meat of his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship must be eaten on the day he offers it; he may not leave any of it until morning.

“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons must present to the Lord on the day that he is anointed: two quarts of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

Or if someone touches anything unclean—a carcass of an unclean wild animal, or unclean livestock, or an unclean swarming creature—without being aware of it, he is unclean and guilty.

He put the tunic on Aaron, wrapped the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He put the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.

Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took his own firepan, put fire in it, placed incense on it, and presented unauthorized fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them to do.

But what remains of the sacrificial meat by the third day must be burned up.

Wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.

He must make restitution for his sin regarding any holy thing, adding a fifth of its value to it, and give it to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf with the ram of the restitution offering, and he will be forgiven.

The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.

He is to apply some of the blood to the horns of the altar that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. He must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

Moses slaughtered it, took some of its blood, and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

Any male among Aaron’s descendants may eat it. It is a permanent portion throughout your generations from the fire offerings to the Lord. Anything that touches the offerings will become holy.”

He washed the entrails and the shanks and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.

Then he will bring the bull outside the camp and burn it just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

“Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them: Be holy because I, Yahweh your God, am holy.

The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron’s sons when they approached the presence of the Lord and died.

Keep My statutes and ordinances; a person will live if he does them. I am Yahweh.

Moses cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the suet,

He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord. It is a sin offering.

I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your dead bodies on the lifeless bodies of your idols; I will reject you.

If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable creature, and eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice, that person must be cut off from his people.”

Or if someone swears rashly to do what is good or evil—concerning anything a person may speak rashly in an oath—without being aware of it, but later recognizes it, he incurs guilt in such an instance.

The anointed priest will bring some of the bull’s blood into the tent of meeting.

You must regard the foreigner who lives with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God.

Then he put the breastpiece on him and placed the Urim and Thummim into the breastpiece.

It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must practice self-denial. You are to observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening.”

He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and waved them before the Lord as a presentation offering.

“If the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it is to be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and what is left over may be eaten on the next day.

If someone incurs guilt in one of these cases, he is to confess he has committed that sin.

“You are to keep My commands and do them; I am Yahweh.

Aaron and his sons may eat the rest of it. It is to be eaten in the form of unleavened bread in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.

He must bring the bull to the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the Lord.

Any clothing or leather on which there is an emission of semen must be washed with water, and it will remain unclean until evening.

“Take Aaron, his sons with him, the garments, the anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

You are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim freedom in the land for all its inhabitants. It will be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to his property and each of you to his clan.

It must not be baked with yeast; I have assigned it as their portion from My fire offerings. It is especially holy, like the sin offering and the restitution offering.

Next he presented the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

Then Moses presented Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

“Now this is the law of the restitution offering; it is especially holy.

He must bring an unblemished ram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a restitution offering to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the error he has committed unintentionally, and he will be forgiven.

He is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.

or someone informs him about the sin he has committed, he is to bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.

Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father was among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man.

But the one who eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from his people.

“Tell the Israelites: You are not to eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

He took the fat—the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat—as well as the right thigh.

Or if he touches human uncleanness—any uncleanness by which one can become defiled—without being aware of it, but later recognizes it, he is guilty.

Aaron presented the people’s offering. He took the male goat for the people’s sin offering, slaughtered it, and made a sin offering with it as he did before.

He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the fellowship sacrifice. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf for that person’s sin, and he will be forgiven.

If a man sleeps with her, and blood from her menstruation gets on him, he will be unclean for seven days, and every bed he lies on will become unclean.

Moses also presented Aaron’s sons and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then Moses sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

Then the priest must take some of the blood from the sin offering with his finger and apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering. The rest of its blood he must pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel.

or if someone informs him about the sin he has committed, then he is to bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for the sin that he has committed.

Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering for a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord.

“When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

and assemble the whole community at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”

“Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. Everyone who is clean may eat any other meat.

Then he must bring his restitution offering to the Lord: an unblemished ram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a restitution offering to the priest.

From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat portions and the right thigh.

Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket for the ordination offering as I commanded: Aaron and his sons are to eat it.

Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and if any of its blood spatters on a garment, then you must wash that garment in a holy place.

“This is to be a permanent statute for you: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month you are to practice self-denial and do no work, both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.

The Lord spoke to Moses:

Next he presented the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning burnt offering.

It is a restitution offering; he is indeed guilty before the Lord.”

or anything else about which he swore falsely. He must make full restitution for it and add a fifth of its value to it. He is to pay it to its owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.

He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.

Finally, he slaughtered the ox and the ram as the people’s fellowship sacrifice. Aaron’s sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on all sides of the altar.

“The land is not to be permanently sold because it is Mine, and you are only foreigners and temporary residents on My land.

“If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood is on his own hands.

The Lord spoke to Moses:

Fire came from the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell facedown on the ground.

Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. In this way he consecrated Aaron and his garments, as well as his sons and their garments.

Then the priest must take some of its blood with his finger and apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He must pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

For I am Yahweh your God, so you must consecrate yourselves and be holy because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any swarming creature that crawls on the ground.

The fat of an animal that dies naturally or is mauled by wild beasts may be used for any purpose, but you must not eat it.

So Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the community assembled at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

The Lord spoke to Moses:

He presented the burnt offering and sacrificed it according to the regulation.

“When a foreigner lives with you in your land, you must not oppress him.

A man or a woman who is a medium or a spiritist must be put to death. They are to be stoned; their blood is on their own hands.”

If a man marries a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned with fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.

once he has sinned and acknowledged his guilt—he must return what he stole or defrauded, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost item he found,

or finds something lost and lies about it; or swears falsely about any of the sinful things a person may do—

Whoever eats any blood, that person must be cut off from his people.”

Moses said to them, “This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.”

But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.

His own hands will bring the fire offerings to the Lord. He will bring the fat together with the breast. The breast is to be waved as a presentation offering before the Lord.

He also took the breast and waved it before the Lord as a presentation offering; it was Moses’ portion of the ordination ram as the Lord had commanded him.

Every grain offering for a priest will be a whole burnt offering; it is not to be eaten.”

“You are to rise in the presence of the elderly and honor the old. Fear your God; I am Yahweh.

“Tell Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the sin offering. The sin offering is most holy and must be slaughtered before the Lord at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.

“You are to count seven complete weeks starting from the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the presentation offering.

But I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw a sword to chase after you. So your land will become desolate, and your cities will become ruins.

The restitution offering must be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and the priest is to sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

The priest who offers it as a sin offering is to eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.

“Do not turn to mediums or consult spiritists, or you will be defiled by them; I am Yahweh your God.

A clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled must be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it must be scoured and rinsed with water.

Moses said this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites.

He will remove its digestive tract, cutting off the tail feathers, and throw it on the east side of the altar at the place for ashes.

The priest is to offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. The priest will make atonement for him, and he will be clean.

You are not to cut off the hair at the sides of your head or mar the edge of your beard.

But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances. You must not commit any of these detestable things—not the native or the foreigner who lives among you.

I also will devastate the land, so that your enemies who come to live there will be appalled by it.

Yahweh spoke to Moses:

Whoever blasphemes the name of Yahweh is to be put to death; the whole community must stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the foreign resident or the native.

They are not to marry a woman defiled by prostitution. They are not to marry one divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.

The Lord spoke to Moses:

Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them. He came down after sacrificing the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the fellowship offering.

“Tell the Israelites: The one who presents a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord must bring an offering to the Lord from his sacrifice.

Any male among the priests may eat it; it is especially holy.

If anyone eats animal fat from a fire offering presented to the Lord, the person who eats it must be cut off from his people.
