- Kapitel 7 -

(Leviticus 5:14–19; Leviticus 6:1–7)
1
“These are the regulations concerning the offerings for when people are guilty of not giving to Yahweh the things that are required to be given to him. Those are very sacred offerings.
2
A priest must slaughter each animal that people offer for this purpose in the same place where they slaughter the animals that they will completely burn. The priest must sprinkle the animal’s blood on all sides of the altar.
3
All their fat, the fat tails that are cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animals or which is attached to them, must be burned on the altar.
4
This includes the kidneys with their fat near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver. The priest must remove all these fatty pieces.
5
The priest must burn these pieces on the altar to be offerings to me, Yahweh. They are an offering for the people, for me to forgive them when they have not done what I required them to do.
6
All the males in the priest’s family are permitted to eat its meat, but it must be eaten in a place set apart for me, because it is very special to me.
7
The regulation is the same for the offerings to cause people to become acceptable to me again and the offerings for when they are guilty of not giving to me the things that I required from them. The meat of those offerings belongs to the priest who offers them.
8
When a priest slaughters an animal that he will completely burn on the altar, he may keep the animal’s hide for himself.
9
Offerings of things made from flour that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or in a shallow pan belong to the priest who sacrifices those things for another person.
10
And offerings of things made from flour, whether they were mixed with olive oil or not, also belong to Aaron’s descendants.

The Peace Offering

(Leviticus 3:1–17)
11
These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people make to promise friendship with Yahweh.
12
If you bring an offering to thank Yahweh, along with the animal that you slaughter you must offer loaves of bread made with olive oil mixed with the flour but without yeast, and wafers that are made without yeast but with olive oil smeared on them, and loaves made from fine flour with olive oil mixed well with the flour.
13
Along with that offering to thank Yahweh, you must bring an offering of loaves made with yeast.
14
You must bring one of each kind for an offering to Yahweh, but they belong to the priest who sprinkles against the altar the blood of the animal that is slaughtered as an offering to promise friendship with Yahweh.
15
The meat of that offering must be eaten on the day that it is offered. None of it may be left to be eaten on the next day.
16
However, if your offering is the result of a vow that you made to Yahweh, or if it is an offering that you make voluntarily, you may eat some of the meat on the day it is offered, and anything that is left may be eaten on the next day.
17
But any meat that is left until the third day must be completely burned.
18
If any meat from the offering to promise friendship with Yahweh is eaten on the third day, Yahweh will not accept that offering. It will be useless to offer it because Yahweh will consider that it is worthless. Anyone who eats some of it will have to pay a penalty to Yahweh.
19
Meat that touches something that God considers to be impure must not be eaten. It must be completely burned. But as for other meat, anyone who has performed the rituals to become acceptable to God is allowed to eat it.
20
If anyone who has not performed those rituals eats some of the meat of the offering to promise friendship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.
21
If anyone touches something that God considers to be impure and very displeasing to him, whether it is from a human or from an animal, and then he eats any of the meat of the offering to promise friendship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.”

Fat and Blood Forbidden

22
Yahweh also said to Moses:
23
“Say this to the Israelite people: ’Do not eat any of the fat of cattle or sheep or goats.
24
The fat of an animal that is found dead or that has been killed by a wild animal may be used for other purposes, but you must not eat it.
25
Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering has been made to Yahweh must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.
26
And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
27
If anyone eats blood, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.”

The Priests’ Portion

28
Yahweh also said to Moses,
29
“Tell the Israelite people this: ’Anyone who brings an offering to promise friendship with Yahweh must bring part of it to be a sacrifice to Yahweh.
30
He himself must bring the offering that will be burned in the fire. He must bring the fat along with the breast of the animal and lift it high in front of Yahweh to present it as an offering to him.
31
The priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and all his descendants.
32
You must give to the priest the right thigh of the animal that you presented to promise friendship with Yahweh.
33
The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of that sacrifice will receive the right thigh of the animal as his share.
34
From the offerings that the Israelite people give to promise friendship with Yahweh, he has declared that he has given to Aaron and his descendants the breast that is lifted high and the right thigh that is offered. Those portions will always be their regular share from the Israelite people.
35
Those are the portions of the offerings brought to Yahweh and burned in fire that are allotted to Aaron and his descendants on the day that you, Moses, will set apart to serve Yahweh as priests.
36
Yahweh commands that on the day that the priests are appointed, that the Israelite people must always give those portions to the priests.’”
37
So those are the regulations for the offerings that are to be completely burned on the altar, the offerings made from flour, the offerings to cause people to become acceptable to God again, the offerings for when people are guilty of not giving to Yahweh the things that are required to be given to him, the offerings given when the priests are appointed, and the offerings to promise friendship with Yahweh.
38
They are regulations that Yahweh gave to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the Israelite people to start bringing their offerings to him, in the wilderness around Sinai.
(Leviticus 5:14–19; Leviticus 6:1–7)
1
“‘This is the law of the trespass offering: It is most holy.
2
In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle around on the altar.
3
He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards,
4
and he shall take away the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys;
5
and the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a trespass offering.
6
Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.
7
“‘As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering; there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with them shall have it.
8
The priest who offers any man’s burnt offering shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.
9
Every meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is prepared in the pan and on the griddle, shall be the priest’s who offers it.
10
Every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.

The Peace Offering

(Leviticus 3:1–17)
11
“‘This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which one shall offer to the LORD:
12
If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil.
13
He shall offer his offering with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving with cakes of leavened bread.
14
Of it he shall offer one out of each offering for a heave offering to the LORD. It shall be the priest’s who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.
15
The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning.
16
“‘But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a free will offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice. On the next day what remains of it shall be eaten,
17
but what remains of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.
18
If any of the meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, and it shall not be credited to him who offers it. It will be an abomination, and the soul who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.
19
“‘The meat that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. As for the meat, everyone who is clean may eat it;
20
but the soul who eats of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings that belongs to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
21
When anyone touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal, or any unclean abomination, and eats some of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD, that soul shall be cut off from his people.’”

Fat and Blood Forbidden

22
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘You shall eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or goat.
24
The fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of animals, may be used for any other service, but you shall in no way eat of it.
25
For whoever eats the fat of the animal which men offer as an offering made by fire to the LORD, even the soul who eats it shall be cut off from his people.
26
You shall not eat any blood, whether it is of bird or of animal, in any of your dwellings.
27
Whoever it is who eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.’”

The Priests’ Portion

28
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
29
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD out of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
30
With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.
31
The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
32
The right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
33
He among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion.
34
For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel.’”
35
This is the consecrated portion of Aaron, and the consecrated portion of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to the LORD in the priest’s office;
36
which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations.
37
This is the law of the burnt offering, the meal offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the consecration, and the sacrifice of peace offerings
38
which the LORD commanded Moses in Mount Sinai in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
