Leviticus 6:8-Leviticus 7:34 - The Priests And The Offerings
8 Jehovah continued to speak to Moses, 9 Command Aaron and his sons: 'These are the instructions for the burnt offering that stays on the altar overnight while the altar fire is kept burning. 10 The priest must put on his linen clothes. This includes linen undergarments. Then he will remove the ashes left on the altar from the fire that consumed the burnt offering and will put them next to the altar. 11 He will take off these clothes and put on some others. He will take the ashes to a clean place outside the camp. 12 The fire must always be burning on the altar. It must never go out. The priest will burn wood on it every morning. He will lay the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offering. 13 The fire must always be burning on the altar. It must never go out.
14 This is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron shall present it in the presence of Jehovah in front of the altar. 15 One of them will lift up from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering. Using its oil and all the incense that is on the grain offering, and he will offer it up in smoke on the altar. It will be a soothing aroma and a memorial offering to Jehovah. 16 Any thing left is for Aaron and his sons to eat. It will be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place. They must eat it in the court of the Tent of Meeting. 17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their share from my offerings by fire. It is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering. 18 Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it. It is a long lasting ordinance throughout your generations, from the offerings by fire to Jehovah. Whoever touches them will become consecrated.'
19 Jehovah continued to speak to Moses: 20 This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to present to Jehovah on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 21 Prepare it with oil on a griddle. Stir it well and bring it. Present the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to Jehovah. 22 The anointed priest who will be in his place among his sons will offer it. By a long lasting ordinance it shall be entirely offered up in smoke to Jehovah. 23 Every grain offering made by a priest must be completely burned. It must not be eaten.
24 Jehovah spoke to Moses: 25 Tell Aaron and his sons: 'These are the instructions for the offering for sin. The offering for sin must be slaughtered in Jehovah's presence. It is very holy. 26 The priest who makes the offering for sin will eat it in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. This is in the same place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. 27 Everything that touches its meat will be holy. If blood gets on someone's clothes, he must wash them in a holy place. 28 The piece of pottery in which the offering for sin is cooked must be broken into pieces. The copper kettle in which the offering for sin is cooked must be scoured and rinsed with water. 29 Every male among the priests may eat the offering for sin. It is very holy. 30 The offering for sin must not be eaten if some of the blood was brought into the holy place in the Tent of Meeting to pay compensation for wrongdoing and make peace with Jehovah. It must be burned.
1 These are the instructions for the guilt offering. It is very holy. 2 It should be slaughtered in the same place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. A priest will throw the blood against all sides of the altar. 3 He will offer all the fat, the fat from the tail, the fat covering the internal organs. 4 That includes the two kidneys with the fat on them. He will also remove the lobe of the liver along with the kidneys. 5 The priest will burn them on the altar. It is a guilt offering by fire to Jehovah. 6 Every male among the priests may eat it. It will be eaten in a holy place. It is very holy.
7 The same instructions apply to the offering for sin and the guilt offering. Both offerings belong to the priest to pay compensation for wrongdoing and make peace with Jehovah. 8 The skin of the burnt offering belongs to the priest who sacrifices it. 9 Every grain offering, whether baked in an oven or prepared in a skillet or a frying pan, belongs to the priest who offers it. 10 Every grain offering, whether mixed with olive oil or dry, will be shared equally by all of Aaron's sons.
11 These are the instructions for the fellowship offering that you must bring to Jehovah. 12 If you offer it as a thank offering, you must also bring rings of unleavened bread mixed with oil, wafers of unleavened bread brushed with oil, and loaves made from flour mixed well with oil. 13 In addition to these rings of bread, you must bring leavened bread (with yeast) along with your fellowship offering of thanksgiving. 14 He will present one of every offering as a contribution to Jehovah. It will belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings. 15 The flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings will be eaten on the day of his offering. He should not leave any of it over until morning.
16 If the sacrifice of his offering is a votive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice as well as on the next day. 17 Anything left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned. 18 If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, he who offers it will not be accepted. It will not be considered for his benefit. It will be an offensive thing, and the person who eats of it will bear his own iniquity.
19 The flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten. It should be burned with fire. As for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh. 20 The person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings that belong to Jehovah, in his uncleanness, that person will be cut off from his people. 21 When someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any unclean detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to Jehovah, that person shall be cut off from his people.'
22 Jehovah continued to speak to Moses: 23 Tell the Israelites: 'Never eat any fat from bulls, sheep, or goats. 24 The fat from an animal that dies naturally or is killed by wild animals you may use for any other purpose. However, you must not eat it. 25 Those who eat the fat from an animal they sacrificed by fire to Jehovah must be excluded from the people. 26 Never eat the blood of any bird or animal no matter where you live. 27 Those who eat any blood must be excluded from the people.'
28 Jehovah spoke to Moses: 29 Tell the Israelites: 'Anyone who offers Jehovah a fellowship offering must bring a part of that sacrifice as a gift to Jehovah. 30 Bring the sacrifices by fire made to Jehovah. Bring the fat with the breast. Take the breast and present it to Jehovah. 31 The priest will burn the fat on the altar. However, the breast will belong to Aaron and his sons. 32 You will also give the priest the right thigh as a contribution. 33 When any of Aaron's sons offer the blood and fat of the fellowship offering, the right thigh will belong to him as his share. 34 I have taken the breast and thigh that was presented to me from the contribution offering from the Israelites. I have given them to the priest Aaron and his sons. This is a long lasting law for generations to come.
