11 A nd this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be offered to the Lord:

‘This is the Law of giving peace gifts in worship to the Lord.

12 I f one offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the thank offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.

If he gives it because he is thankful, then with the thank gift he will give bread mixed with oil and without yeast, hard bread spread with oil and without yeast, and loaves of fine flour well mixed with oil.

‘The flesh of the thank gift, given as a peace gift, will be eaten on the day it is given. None of it is to be left until morning.

16 B ut if the sacrifice of the worshiper’s offering is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the morrow that which remains of it shall be eaten;

But if his gift is for a promise or is given only because he wants to give it, it will be eaten the same day he gives his gift. And whatever is left may be eaten the next day.

17 B ut the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.

But what is left of the flesh of the gift until the third day will be burned with fire.

18 I f any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, then the one who brought it shall not be credited with it; it shall not be accepted. It shall be an abomination and an abhorred thing; the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity and answer for it.

19 T he flesh that comes in contact with anything that is not clean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. As for the meat, everyone who is clean may eat of it.

‘The flesh that touches anything that is unclean must not be eaten. It will be burned with fire. Anyone who is clean may eat other flesh.

20 B ut the one who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings that belong to the Lord when he is unclean, that person shall be cut off from his people.

But the person who is unclean, who eats the flesh of the peace gifts which belong to the Lord, will be kept away from his people.

21 A nd if anyone touches any unclean thing—the uncleanness of man or an unclean beast or any unclean abomination—and then eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the Lord’s peace offerings, that person shall be cut off from his people.

And a person will be kept away from his people when he touches anything that is unclean, a human, animal or thing that is unclean, and then eats of the flesh of the peace gifts that belong to the Lord.’” Fat and Blood Not to Be Eaten

22 A nd the Lord said to Moses,

The Lord said to Moses,

23 S ay to the Israelites, You shall eat no kind of fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat.

“Say to the people of Israel, ‘Do not eat any fat from a bull, sheep or goat.

24 T he fat of the beast that dies of itself and the fat of one that is torn with beasts may be put to any other use, but under no circumstances are you to eat of it.

The fat of an animal that dies, and the fat of an animal torn by wild animals, may be used in other ways. But for sure you must not eat it.

25 F or whoever eats the fat of the beast from which men offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.

For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which a gift is given by fire to the Lord will be kept away from his people.

26 M oreover, you shall eat no blood of any kind, whether of bird or of beast, in any of your dwellings.

Do not eat any blood, of bird or animal, in any of your houses.

27 W hoever eats any kind of blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.

Whoever eats any blood will be kept away from his people.’” The Part for Aaron and His Sons

28 A nd the Lord said to Moses,

The Lord said to Moses,

29 T ell the Israelites, He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord; from the sacrifice of his peace offerings

“Say to the people of Israel, ‘Whoever gives his peace gift to the Lord will bring a part of it as a special gift to the Lord.

30 H e shall bring with his own hands the offerings made by fire to the Lord; he shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the Lord.

With his own hands he will bring the gift given to the Lord by fire. He will bring the fat with the breast so the breast may be given as a wave gift before the Lord.

31 T he priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.

The religious leader will burn the fat on the altar. But the breast will belong to Aaron and his sons.

32 A nd the right thigh you shall give to the priest for an offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

And you will give the right thigh to the religious leader as his part of your peace gift.

33 T he son of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat shall have the right thigh for his portion.

The son of Aaron who gives the blood and the fat of the peace gift will have the right thigh for his share.

34 F or I have taken the breast that was waved and the thigh that was offered from the Israelites, out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their perpetual due from the Israelites.

For I have taken the breast of the wave gift and the right thigh out of the peace gifts given by the people of Israel. And I have given them to Aaron the religious leader and to his sons as their share forever from the people of Israel.

35 T his is the anointing portion of Aaron and his sons out of the offerings to the Lord made by fire on the day when they were presented to minister to the Lord in the priest’s office.

‘This is the share for Aaron and his sons from the gifts made by fire to the Lord. It was set apart for them on the day they were set apart to work as religious leaders for the Lord.

36 T he Lord commanded this to be given them of the Israelites on the day when they were anointed. It is their portion perpetually throughout their generations.

The Lord said that this should be given to them by the people of Israel on the day they were set apart. It is their share forever.’”

37 T his is the law of the burnt offering, the cereal offering, the sin offering, the guilt or trespass offering, the consecration offering, and the sacrifice of peace offerings,

This is the Law of the burnt gift, the grain gift, the sin gift, the guilt gift, the gift when the religious leader is set apart for the Lord’s work, and the peace gift.

38 W hich the Lord ordered Moses on Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to offer their sacrifices to the Lord, in the Wilderness of Sinai.

The Lord gave this Law to Moses on Mount Sinai on the day that He told the people of Israel to give their gifts to the Lord in the Desert of Sinai.
