Leviticus 7
1¶ Likewise this shall be the law of the expiation of guilt; it shall be most holy.
2In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the expiation of guilt, and he shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar.
3And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof, the tail and the fat that covers the intestines
4and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them and that which is on the flanks and with the kidneys he shall take away the caul that is above the liver.
5And the priest shall incense them upon the altar for an offering on fire unto the Lord; and this shall be the expiation of guilt.
6Every male among the priests shall eat thereof; it shall be eaten in the holy place for it is most holy.
7As with the sin, so shall it be with the guilt; they shall have the same law; the priest that has made the reconciliation shall have that which was offered.
8And the priest that offers anyone’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.
9Likewise every present that is baked in the oven and all that is dressed in the fryingpan or in the pot shall be the priest’s that offers it.
10And every present mingled with oil and dry shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
11¶ And this shall be the law of the sacrifice of peace, which shall be offered unto the Lord.
12If it is offered in thanksgiving, then he shall offer for the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
13With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his offering in the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace.
14And out of the whole offering he shall offer part to be elevated in offering unto the Lord, and it shall be the priest’s that sprinkles the blood of the peace.
15And the flesh of his sacrifice of peace for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
16But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or voluntary, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice; and that which is left of it shall be eaten the next day;
17but that which is left of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
18And if any of the flesh of his sacrifice of peace is eaten at all on the third day, he that offers it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him; it shall be an abomination, and the person that eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
19And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire; but every clean person shall eat of this flesh.
20And the person that eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace, which is of the Lord, being unclean, that person shall be cut off from his people.
21Moreover the person that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man or any unclean beast or any abominable unclean thing and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace, which is of the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.
22And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
23Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox or of sheep or of goat.
24And the fat of the beast that died of itself and the fat of that which is torn by beasts may be used in any other use, but ye shall not eat of it.
25For whosoever eats fat of an animal, of which an offering is made on fire unto the Lord, the person that eats it shall be cut off from his people.
26Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it is of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
27Whatever person it is that eats any manner of blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.
28And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
29Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, He that offers his sacrifice of peace unto the Lord shall bring his offering of the sacrifice of his peace unto the Lord;
30his own hands shall bring the offerings which must be burned unto the Lord; he shall bring the fat with the breast that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.
31And the priest shall incense the fat upon the altar; but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
32And ye shall give unto the priest to be elevated in offering the right shoulder of the sacrifices of your peace.
33He among the sons of Aaron that offers the blood of the peace and the fat shall have the right shoulder for his part;
34for I have taken from the sons of Israel of their sacrifices of peace the breast that is waved and the shoulder that is set apart and have given them unto Aaron, the priest, and unto his sons by a perpetual statute among the sons of Israel.
35¶ This is the anointing of Aaron and the anointing of his sons of the offerings on fire unto the Lord from the day when he brought them in to be priests of the Lord,
36which portions the Lord commanded to be given to them from the day that he anointed them from among the sons of Israel by a perpetual statute throughout their generations.
37This is the law of the burnt offering, of the present, of sin, of guilt, of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of peace,
38which the Lord commanded Moses in Mount Sinai in the day that he commanded the sons of Israel to offer their offerings unto the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.

Leviticus 7

Repayment Offerings
1The following are the regulations for repayment offerings, which are very holy. 2The animal for this offering is to be killed on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed, and its blood is to be thrown against all four sides of the altar. 3All its fat shall be removed and offered on the altar: the fat tail, the fat covering the internal organs, 4the kidneys and the fat on them, and the best part of the liver. 5The priest shall burn all the fat on the altar as a food offering to the LORD. It is a repayment offering. 6Any male of the priestly families may eat it, but it must be eaten in a holy place, because it is very holy.
7There is one regulation that applies to both the sin offering and the repayment offering: the meat belongs to the priest who offers the sacrifice. 8The skin of an animal offered as a burnt offering belongs to the priest who offers the sacrifice. 9Every grain offering that has been baked in an oven or prepared in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who has offered it to God. 10But all uncooked grain offerings, whether mixed with oil or dry, belong to all the Aaronite priests and must be shared equally among them.
Fellowship Offerings
11The following are the regulations for the fellowship offerings presented to the LORD. 12If a man makes this offering as a thank-offering to God, he shall present, together with the animal to be sacrificed, an offering of bread made without yeast: either thick loaves made of flour mixed with olive oil or biscuits brushed with olive oil or cakes made of flour mixed with olive oil. 13In addition, he shall offer loaves of bread baked with yeast. 14He shall present one part of each kind of bread as a special contribution to the LORD; it belongs to the priest who takes the blood of the animal and throws it against the altar. 15The flesh of the animal must be eaten on the day it is sacrificed; none of it may be left until the next morning.
16If a man brings a fellowship offering in fulfilment of a vow or as his own freewill offering, not all of it has to be eaten on the day it is offered, but any that is left over may be eaten on the following day. 17Any meat that still remains on the third day must be burnt. 18If any of it is eaten on the third day, God will not accept the man's offering. The offering will not be counted to his credit but will be considered unclean, and whoever eats it will suffer the consequences. 19If the meat comes into contact with anything ritually unclean, it must not be eaten, but must be burned.
Anyone who is ritually clean may eat the meat, 20but if anyone who is not clean eats it, he shall no longer be considered one of God's people. 21Also, if anyone eats the meat of this offering after he has touched anything ritually unclean, whether from a man or an animal, he shall no longer be considered one of God's people.
22The LORD gave Moses the following regulations 23for the people of Israel. No fat of cattle, sheep, or goats shall be eaten. 24The fat of an animal that has died a natural death or has been killed by a wild animal must not be eaten, but it may be used for any other purpose. 25Anyone who eats the fat of an animal that may be offered as a food offering to the LORD will no longer be considered one of God's people. 26#Gen 9.4; Lev 17.10–14; 19.26; Deut 12.16, 23; 15.23No matter where the Israelites live, they must never use the blood of birds or animals for food. 27Anyone who breaks this law will no longer be considered one of God's people.
28The LORD gave Moses the following regulations 29for the people of Israel. Whoever offers a fellowship offering must bring part of it as a special gift to the LORD, 30bringing it with his own hands as a food offering. He shall bring the fat of the animal with its breast and present it as a special gift to the LORD. 31The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall belong to the priests. 32The right hind leg of the animal shall be given as a special contribution 33to the priest who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering. 34The breast of the animal is a special gift, and the right hind leg is a special contribution that the LORD has taken from the people of Israel and given to the priests. This is what the people of Israel must give to the priests for all time to come. 35This is the part of the food offered to the LORD that was given to Aaron and his sons on the day they were ordained as priests. 36On that day the LORD commanded the people of Israel to give them this part of the offering. It is a regulation that the people of Israel must obey for all time to come.
37These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, the sin offerings, the repayment offerings, the ordination offerings, and the fellowship offerings. 38There on Mount Sinai in the desert, the LORD gave these commands to Moses on the day he told the people of Israel to make their offerings.
