Leviticus 6
6
# In Hebrew texts 6:1-7 is numbered 5:20-26, and 6:8-30 is numbered 6:1-23. 1The Lord said to Moses: 2“If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the Lord by deceiving a neighbor about something entrusted to them or left in their care or about something stolen, or if they cheat their neighbor, 3or if they find lost property and lie about it, or if they swear falsely about any such sin that people may commit— 4when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found, 5or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering. 6And as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord, their guilt offering, a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. 7In this way the priest will make atonement for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”
The Burnt Offering
8The Lord said to Moses: 9“Give Aaron and his sons this command: ‘These are the regulations for the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar. 10The priest shall then put on his linen clothes, with linen undergarments next to his body, and shall remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar. 11Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean. 12The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it. 13The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.
The Grain Offering
14“ ‘These are the regulations for the grain offering: Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the Lord, in front of the altar. 15The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial#6:15 Or representative portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 16Aaron and his sons shall eat the rest of it, but it is to be eaten without yeast in the sanctuary area; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 17It must not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share of the food offerings presented to me. Like the sin offering#6:17 Or purification offering; also in verses 25 and 30 and the guilt offering, it is most holy. 18Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it. For all generations to come it is his perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord. Whatever touches them will become holy.#6:18 Or Whoever touches them must be holy; similarly in verse 27’ ”
19The Lord also said to Moses, 20“This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he#6:20 Or each is anointed: a tenth of an ephah#6:20 That is, probably about 3 1/2 pounds or about 1.6 kilograms of the finest flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21It must be prepared with oil on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken#6:21 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 22The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely. 23Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”
The Sin Offering
24The Lord said to Moses, 25“Say to Aaron and his sons: ‘These are the regulations for the sin offering: The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. 26The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 27Whatever touches any of the flesh will become holy, and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in the sanctuary area. 28The clay pot the meat is cooked in must be broken; but if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot is to be scoured and rinsed with water. 29Any male in a priest’s family may eat it; it is most holy. 30But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place must not be eaten; it must be burned up.

Leviticus 6
6
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2“If a person sins and #Num. 5:6commits a trespass against the Lord by #Lev. 19:11; Acts 5:4; Col. 3:9lying to his neighbor about #Ex. 22:7, 10what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or about a pledge, or about a robbery, or if he has #Prov. 24:28extorted from his neighbor, 3or if he #Ex. 23:4; Deut. 22:1–4has found what was lost and lies concerning it, and #Ex. 22:11; Lev. 19:12; Jer. 7:9; Zech. 5:4swears falsely—in any one of these things that a man may do in which he sins: 4then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall restore #Lev. 24:18, 21what he has stolen, or the thing which he has extorted, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found, 5or all that about which he has sworn falsely. He shall #Lev. 5:16; Num. 5:7, 8; 2 Sam. 12:6restore its full value, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to whomever it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering. 6And he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, #Lev. 1:3; 5:15a ram without blemish from the flock, with your valuation, as a trespass offering, to the priest. 7#Lev. 4:26So the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he shall be forgiven for any one of these things that he may have done in which he trespasses.”
The Law of the Burnt Offering
8Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 9“Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the #Ex. 29:38–42; Num. 28:3–10law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 10#Ex. 28:39–43; Lev. 16:4; Ezek. 44:17, 18And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen trousers he shall put on his body, and take up the ashes of the burnt offering which the fire has consumed on the altar, and he shall put them #Lev. 1:16beside the altar. 11Then #Ezek. 44:19he shall take off his garments, put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp #Lev. 4:12to a clean place. 12And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the #Lev. 3:3, 5, 9, 14fat of the peace offerings. 13A fire shall always be burning on the #Lev. 1:7altar; it shall never go out.
The Law of the Grain Offering
14‘This is the law of the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall offer it on the altar before the Lord. 15He shall take from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a sweet aroma, as a memorial to the Lord. 16And the remainder of it Aaron and his sons shall eat; with unleavened bread it shall be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of meeting they shall eat it. 17It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of My offerings made by fire; it is most holy, like the sin offering and the #Lev. 7:7trespass offering. 18#Lev. 6:29; 7:6; Num. 18:10; 1 Cor. 9:13All the males among the children of Aaron may eat it. #Lev. 3:17It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings made by fire to the Lord. #Ex. 29:37; Lev. 22:3–7; Num. 4:15; Hag. 2:11–13Everyone who touches them must be holy.’ ”
19And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 20#Ex. 29:2“This is the offering of Aaron and his sons, which they shall offer to the Lord, beginning on the day when he is anointed: one-tenth of an #Ex. 16:36ephah of fine flour as a daily grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it at night. 21It shall be made in a #Lev. 2:5; 7:9pan with oil. When it is mixed, you shall bring it in. The baked pieces of the grain offering you shall offer for a sweet aroma to the Lord. 22The priest from among his sons, #Lev. 4:3who is anointed in his place, shall offer it. It is a statute forever to the Lord. #Ex. 29:25It shall be wholly burned. 23For every grain offering for the priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”
The Law of the Sin Offering
24Also the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 25“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: #Lev. 1:1, 3, 5, 11In the place where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before the Lord. It is most holy. 26#(Lev. 10:17, 18); Num. 18:9, 10; (Ezek. 44:28, 29)The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of meeting. 27#Ex. 29:37; Num. 4:15; Hag. 2:11–13Everyone who touches its flesh must be holy. And when its blood is sprinkled on any garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled, in a holy place. 28But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled #Lev. 11:33; 15:12shall be broken. And if it is boiled in a bronze pot, it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water. 29All the males among the priests may eat it. It is most holy. 30#Lev. 4:7, 11, 12, 18, 21; 10:18; 16:27; (Heb. 13:11, 12)But no sin offering from which any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of meeting, to make atonement in the holy #Ex. 26:33place, shall be #Lev. 6:16, 23, 26eaten. It shall be #Lev. 16:27burned in the fire.
