LEVITICUS 7
1 This is the ritual of the guilt offering. It is most holy;
2 at the spot where the burnt offering is slaughtered, they shall
slaughter the guilt offering, and its blood shall be dashed against all sides
of the altar.
3 All its fat shall be offered: the broad tail, the fat that covers
the entrails,
4 The two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the
appendage of the liver, which shall be removed with the kidneys.
5 The priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar as an offering
by fire to the Lord; it is a guilt offering.
6 Every male among the priests shall eat of it; it shall be eaten in
a holy place; it is most holy.
7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering, there is the same
ritual for them; the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.
8 So, too, the priest who offers anyone's burnt offering shall keep
the skin of the burnt offering that he has offered.
9 And every grain offering baked in the oven, and all that is
prepared in a pan or on a griddle, shall belong to the priest who offers
it.
10 But every other grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall
belong to all the sons of Aaron equally.
11 This is the ritual of the sacrifice of the offering of well-being
that one may offer to the Lord.
12 If you offer it for thanksgiving, you shall offer with the thank
offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil,
and cakes of choice flour well soaked in oil.
13 With your thanksgiving sacrifice of well-being you shall bring your
offering with cakes of leavened bread.
14 From this you shall offer one cake from each offering, as a gift
to the Lord; it shall belong to the priest who dashes the blood of the offering
of well-being.
15 And the flesh of your thanksgiving sacrifice of well-being shall
be eaten on the day it is offered; you shall not leave any of it until
morning.
16But if the sacrifice you offer is a votive offering or a freewill
offering, it shall be eaten on the day that you offer your sacrifice, and what
is left of it shall be eaten the next day;
17 but what is left of the flesh of the sacrifice shall be burned up
on the third day.
18 If any of the flesh of your sacrifice of well-being is eaten on
the third day, it shall not be acceptable, nor shall it be credited to the one
who offers it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall
incur guilt.
19 Flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall
be burned up. As for other flesh, all who are clean may eat such flesh.
20 But those who eat flesh from the Lord's sacrifice of well-being
while in a state of uncleanness shall be cut off from their kin.
21 When any one of you touches any unclean thing—human uncleanness or
an unclean animal or any unclean creature—and then eats flesh from the Lord's
sacrifice of well-being, you shall be cut off from your kin.
22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 Speak to the people of Israel, saying: You shall eat no fat of ox
or sheep or goat.
24 The fat of an animal that died or was torn by wild animals may be put to
any other use, but you must not eat it.
25 If any one of you eats the fat from an animal of which an offering
by fire may be made to the Lord, you who eat it shall be cut off from your
kin.
26 You must not eat any blood whatever, either of bird or of animal,
in any of your settlements.
27 Any one of you who eats any blood shall be cut off from your
kin.
28 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
29 Speak to the people of Israel, saying: Any one of you who would
offer to the Lord your sacrifice of well-being must yourself bring to the Lord
your offering from your sacrifice of well-being.
30 Your own hands shall bring the Lord's offering by fire; you shall
bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be raised as an elevation
offering before the Lord.
31 The priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, but the
breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons.
32 And the right thigh from your sacrifices of well-being you shall
give to the priest as an offering;
33 the one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of
the offering of well-being shall have the right thigh for a portion.
34 For I have taken the breast of the elevation offering, and the
thigh that is offered, from the people of Israel, from their sacrifices of
well-being, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a
perpetual due from the people of Israel.
35 This is the portion allotted to Aaron and to his sons from the
offerings made by fire to the Lord, once they have been brought forward to
serve the Lord as priests;
36 these the Lord commanded to be given them, when he anointed them,
as a perpetual due from the people of Israel throughout their
generations.
37 This is the ritual of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the
sin offering, the guilt offering, the offering of ordination, and the sacrifice
of well-being,
38 Which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, when he commanded
the people of Israel to bring their offerings to the Lord, in the wilderness of
Sinai.
LEVITICUS 8
1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, the vestments, the anointing
oil, the bull of sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened
bread;
3 and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance of the tent of
meeting.
4 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him. When the congregation was
assembled at the entrance of the tent of meeting,
5 Moses said to the congregation, "This is what the Lord has
commanded to be done."
6 Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward, and washed them
with water.
7 He put the tunic on him, fastened the sash around him, clothed him
with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He then put the decorated band of the
ephod around him, tying the ephod to him with it.
8 He placed the breast piece on him, and in the breast piece he put
the Urim and the Thummim.
9 And he set the turban on his head, and on the turban, in front, he
set the golden ornament, the holy crown, as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and
all that was in it, and consecrated them.
11 He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, and anointed the
altar and all its utensils, and the basin and its base, to consecrate
them.
12 He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed
him, to consecrate him.
13 And Moses brought forward Aaron's sons, and clothed them with
tunics, and fastened sashes around them, and tied headdresses on them, as the
Lord commanded Moses.
14 He led forward the bull of sin offering; and Aaron and his sons
laid their hands upon the head of the bull of sin offering,
15 and it was slaughtered. Moses took the blood and with his finger
put some on each of the horns of the altar, purifying the altar; then he poured
out the blood at the base of the altar. Thus he consecrated it, to make
atonement for it.
16 Moses took all the fat that was around the entrails, and the
appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and turned them
into smoke on the altar.
17 But the bull itself, its skin and flesh and its dung, he burned
with fire outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.
18 Then he brought forward the ram of burnt offering. Aaron and his
sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,
19 and it was slaughtered. Moses dashed the blood against all sides
of the altar.
20 The ram was cut into its parts, and Moses turned into smoke the
head and the parts and the suet.
21 And after the entrails and the legs were washed with water, Moses
turned into smoke the whole ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering for a
pleasing odour, an offering by fire to the Lord, as the Lord commanded
Moses.
22 Then he brought forward the second ram, the ram of ordination.
Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,
23 and it was slaughtered. Moses took some of its blood and put it on
the lobe of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big
toe of his right foot.
24 After Aaron's sons were brought forward, Moses put some of the
blood on the lobes of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands
and on the big toes of their right feet; and Moses dashed the rest of the blood
against all sides of the altar.
25 He took the fat—the broad tail, all the fat that was around the
entrails, the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat—and
the right thigh.
26 From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he
took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread with oil, and one wafer,
and placed them on the fat and on the right thigh.
27 He placed all these on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his
sons, and raised them as an elevation offering before the Lord.
28 Then Moses took them from their hands and turned them into smoke
on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering for a
pleasing odour, an offering by fire to the Lord.
29 Moses took the breast and raised it as an elevation offering before
the Lord; it was Moses' portion of the ram of ordination, as the Lord commanded
Moses.
30 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 vestments, and also
on his sons and their vestments. Thus he consecrated Aaron and his vestments,
and also his sons and their vestments.
31 And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "Boil the flesh at the
entrance of the tent of meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the
basket of ordination offerings, as I was commanded, "Aaron and his sons
shall eat it';
32 and what remains of the flesh and the bread you shall burn with
fire.
33 You shall not go outside the entrance of the tent of meeting for
seven days, until the day when your period of ordination is completed. For it
will take seven days to ordain you;
34 as has been done today, the Lord has commanded to be done to make
atonement for you.
35 You shall remain at the entrance of the tent of meeting day and
night for seven days, keeping the Lord's charge so that you do not die; for so
I am commanded."
36 Aaron and his sons did all the things that the Lord commanded
through Moses.
LEVITICUS 9
1 On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders
of Israel.
2 He said to Aaron, "Take a bull calf for a sin offering and a
ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the
Lord.
3 And say to the people of Israel, "Take a male goat for a sin
offering; a calf and a lamb, yearlings without blemish, for a burnt
offering;
4 and an ox and a ram for an offering of well-being to sacrifice
before the Lord; and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today the Lord will
appear to you.' "
5 They brought what Moses commanded to the front of the tent of
meeting; and the whole congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.
6 And Moses said, "This is the thing that the Lord commanded
you to do, so that the glory of the Lord may appear to you."
7 Then Moses said to Aaron, "Draw near to the altar and
sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for
yourself and for the people; and sacrifice the offering of the people, and make
atonement for them; as the Lord has commanded."
8 Aaron drew near to the altar, and slaughtered the calf of the sin
offering, which was for himself.
9 The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he dipped his
finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar; and the rest of the
blood he poured out at the base of the altar.
10 But the fat, the kidneys, and the appendage of the liver from the
sin offering he turned into smoke on the altar, as the Lord commanded
Moses;
11 and the flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the
camp.
12Then he slaughtered the burnt offering. Aaron's sons brought him the
blood, and he dashed it against all sides of the altar.
13 And they brought him the burnt offering piece by piece, and the
head, which he turned into smoke on the altar.
14 He washed the entrails and the legs and, with the burnt offering,
turned them into smoke on the altar.
15 Next he presented the people's offering. He took the goat of the
sin offering that was for the people, and slaughtered it, and presented it as a
sin offering like the first one.
16 He presented the burnt offering, and sacrificed it according to
regulation.
17 He presented the grain offering, and, taking a handful of it, he
turned it into smoke on the altar, in addition to the burnt offering of the
morning.
18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as a sacrifice of well-being for
the people. Aaron's sons brought him the blood, which he dashed against all
sides of the altar,
19 And the fat of the ox and of the ram—the broad tail, the fat that
covers the entrails, the two kidneys and the fat on them, and the appendage of
the liver.
20 They first laid the fat on the breasts, and the fat was turned
into smoke on the altar;
21 and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron raised as an elevation
offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.
22 Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them; and he
came down after sacrificing the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the
offering of well-being.
23 Moses and Aaron entered the tent of meeting, and then came out and
blessed the people; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
24 Fire came out from the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and
the fat on the altar; and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on
their faces.
