7 T he guilt gift is like the sin gift. There is one Law for them. It belongs to the religious leader who pays the price for sin with it.

The guilt offering is like the sin offering, there is one law for them; the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.

8 A nd the religious leader who gives any man’s burnt gift will keep for himself the skin of the burnt gift he has given.

Also the priest who presents any man’s burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has presented.

9 E very grain gift that is baked in a stove and everything that is cooked in a pot or on top of a stove will belong to the religious leader who gives it.

Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in the oven and everything prepared in a pan or on a griddle shall belong to the priest who presents it.

10 A nd every grain gift, mixed with oil or dry, will belong to all the sons of Aaron, to all the same. The Law of the Peace Gift

Every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron, to all alike.

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

‘Now this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be presented to the Lord.

12 I f 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.

If he offers it by way of thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes of well stirred fine flour mixed with oil.

13 W ith loaves of bread with yeast he will give his thank gift with the peace gifts.

With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving, he shall present his offering with cakes of leavened bread.

14 O ut of each gift he will give a part as a gift to the Lord. It will belong to the religious leader who puts the blood on the peace gifts.

Of this he shall present one of every offering as a contribution to the Lord; it shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

15 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.

‘ Now as for the flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings, it shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it over until morning.

16 B ut 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.

But 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, and on the next day what is left of it may be eaten;

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

but what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.

18 I f any of the flesh of his gift is eaten on the third day, then the one who brought it will not be received and it will not do him any good. It will be a sin. And the person who eats of it must suffer for his own sin.

So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings should ever be eaten on the third day, he who offers it will not be accepted, and it will not be reckoned to his benefit. It shall be an offensive thing, and the person who eats of it will bear his own iniquity.

19 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.

‘Also the flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. As for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh.

20 B ut 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.

But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the Lord, in his uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from his people.

21 A nd 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

When anyone 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 the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

22 T he Lord said to Moses,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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

“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘You shall not eat any fat from an ox, a sheep or a goat.

24 T he 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.

Also the fat of an animal which dies and the fat of an animal torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but you must certainly not eat it.

25 F or 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.

For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which an offering by fire is offered to the Lord, even the person who eats shall be cut off from his people.

26 D o not eat any blood, of bird or animal, in any of your houses.

You are not to eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your dwellings.

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

Any person who eats any blood, even that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

28 T he Lord said to Moses,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

29 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.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘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.

30 W ith 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.

His own hands are to bring offerings by fire to the Lord. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be presented as a wave offering before the Lord.

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

The priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons.

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

You shall give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

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

The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, the right thigh shall be his as his portion.

34 F or 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.

For I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their due forever from the sons of Israel.

35 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.

‘This is that which is consecrated to Aaron and that which is consecrated to his sons from the offerings by fire to the Lord, in that day when he presented them to serve as priests to the Lord.

36 T he 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.’”

These the Lord had commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel in the day that He anointed them. It is their due forever throughout their generations.’”

37 T his 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.

This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering and the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings,

38 T he 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.

which the Lord commanded Moses at Mount Sinai in the day that He commanded the sons of Israel to present their offerings to the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.
