Leviticus 6
6
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“A person might sin against the Lord by doing one of these sins: He might lie about what happened to something he was taking care of for someone else. Or he might lie about a promise he made. Or he might steal something or cheat someone. 3He might find something that had been lost and then lie about it. He might make a promise before the Lord about something and not mean it. Or he might do some other sin. 4If he does any of these things, he is guilty of sin. He must bring back whatever he stole. Or he must bring back what he took by cheating. Or he must bring back the thing he took care of for someone else. Or he must bring back what he found and lied about. 5Or he must bring back what he made a false promise about. He must pay the full price. Then he must pay an extra one-fifth of the value of what he took. He must give the money to the true owner. This must be done on the day he brings his penalty offering. 6He must pay a penalty to the priest. It must be a male sheep from the flock. It must not have anything wrong with it. And it must be worth the correct amount. It will be a penalty offering to the Lord. 7Then the priest will perform the acts to remove that person’s sin so he will belong to the Lord. And the Lord will forgive him for the sins that made him guilty.”
The Whole Burnt Offering
8The Lord said to Moses, 9“Give this command to Aaron and the priests: ‘These are the teachings about the whole burnt offering. The burnt offering must stay on the altar all night until morning. The altar’s fire must be kept burning. 10The priest must put on his linen robe. He must put on linen underclothes next to his body. Then he will remove the ashes from the burnt offering on the altar. He will put these ashes beside the altar. 11Then he must take off those clothes and put on others. He must carry the ashes outside the camp to a special clean place. 12But the fire must be kept burning on the altar. It must not be allowed to go out. The priest must put more firewood on the altar every morning. He must place the whole burnt offering on the fire. He must burn the fat of the fellowship offerings. 13The fire must be kept burning on the altar all the time. It must not go out.
The Grain Offering
14“‘These are the teachings about the grain offering: The priests must bring it to the Lord in front of the altar. 15The priest must take a handful of fine flour. The oil and incense must be on it. The priest must burn the grain offering on the altar. It will be a memorial offering to the Lord. Its smell is pleasing to him. 16Aaron and the priests may eat what is left. It must be eaten without yeast in a holy place. The priests must eat it in the courtyard of the Meeting Tent. 17It must not be cooked with yeast. I have given it as their share of the offerings made to me by fire. It is most holy, like the sin offering and the penalty offering. 18Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it. It is his share of the offerings made to the Lord by fire. This will continue from now on. Whatever touches these offerings must be holy.’”
19The Lord said to Moses, 20“This is the offering Aaron and the priests must bring to the Lord. They must do this on the day they appoint Aaron as high priest. They must bring two quarts of fine flour for a grain offering. They must bring half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21The fine flour must be mixed with oil and cooked on a griddle. Bring it when it is well mixed. You must break it into pieces. It will be a smell that is pleasing to the Lord. 22One of the priests will be appointed to take Aaron’s place as high priest. He must make the grain offering to the Lord. It is a rule forever. The grain offering must be completely burned to the Lord. 23Every grain offering made by a priest must be completely burned. It must not be eaten.”
The Sin Offering
24The Lord said to Moses, 25“Tell Aaron and the priests: ‘These are the teachings about the sin offering. The sin offering must be killed in front of the Lord. It must be killed in the same place the whole burnt offering is killed. It is most holy. 26The priest who offers the sin offering must eat it. He must eat it in a holy place. It must be in the courtyard of the Meeting Tent. 27Whatever touches the meat of the sin offering must be holy. If the blood is sprinkled on any clothes, you must wash them in a holy place. 28The clay pot the meat is cooked in must be broken. If a bronze pot is used, it must be scrubbed and rinsed with water. 29Any male in a priest’s family may eat the offering. It is most holy. 30The blood of the sin offering may be taken into the Meeting Tent. It may be used to remove sin in the Holy Place. That sin offering must be burned with fire. It must not be eaten.

Leviticus 6
6
1The Lord spoke to Moses: 2“When someone sins and offends the Lord by deceiving#Lv 19:11 his neighbor in regard to a deposit,#Ex 22:7–13 a security,#6:2 Or an investment or a robbery;#Is 61:8; Ezk 22:29 or defrauds#Dt 24:14 his neighbor; 3or finds something lost and lies about it;#Ex 23:4; Dt 22:1–3 or swears falsely#Ex 22:11; Lv 19:12 about any of the sinful things a person may do — 4once he has sinned#Gn 44:32; Jdg 10:10; Neh 1:6; Ps 39:1; Is 1:4 and acknowledged his guilt#Lv 4:3 — he must return what he stole or defrauded, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost item he found, 5or anything else about which he swore falsely. He will make full restitution for it and add a fifth of its value to it.#Lv 27:13 He is to pay it to its owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.#Ex 22:9–12; 23:4–5; Dt 22:13; Mt 5:23–24; Lk 19:8–9 6Then he is to bring his guilt offering#Lv 14:12 to the Lord: an unblemished#Ex 29:1 ram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a guilt offering to the priest. 7In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf before the Lord, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”#Lv 5:10,13,18
The Burnt Offering
8The Lord spoke to Moses: 9“Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the burnt offering; the burnt offering itself must remain on the altar’s hearth all night until morning, while the fire of the altar is kept burning on it. 10The priest is to put on his linen robe and linen undergarments.#6:10 Lit undergarments on his flesh#Ex 28:42–43; Lv 16:4; Ezk 44:17–19 He is to remove the ashes of the burnt offering the fire has consumed on the altar, and place them beside the altar. 11Then he will take off his garments, put on other clothes,#Lv 16:23; Ezk 42:14; 44:19 and bring the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place. 12The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest will burn wood on the fire. He is to arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat portions from the fellowship offerings#Lv 1:2; 7:11 on it. 13Fire must be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not go out.
The Grain Offering
14“Now this is the law of the grain offering:#Lv 2:1–16 Aaron’s sons will present it before the Lord in front of the altar. 15The priest is to remove a handful of fine flour and olive oil from the grain offering, with all the frankincense that is on the offering, and burn its memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 16Aaron and his sons may eat the rest of it.#1Co 9:13 It is to be eaten in the form of unleavened bread#Ex 12:8; 1Co 5:8 in a holy place;#Lv 16:24 they are to eat it in the courtyard#Ex 27:9 of the tent of meeting. 17It must not be baked with yeast; I have assigned it as their portion#Lv 6:10; Nm 18:20; 31:36; Dt 10:9; 12:12 from my food offerings.#Dt 18:1 It is especially holy, like the sin offering#Ex 29:14 and the guilt offering. 18Any male among Aaron’s descendants#Lv 21:18–23 may eat it. It is a permanent portion#6:18 Or statute#Lv 7:34; Heb 13:10 throughout your generations from the food offerings to the Lord. Anything that touches the offerings will become holy.”#Ex 29:37; Lk 11:2
19The Lord spoke to Moses: 20“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons are to present to the Lord on the day that he is anointed: two quarts#6:20 Lit a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21It is to be prepared with oil on a griddle; you are to bring it well-kneaded. You are to present it as a grain offering of baked pieces,#6:21 Hb obscure a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 22The priest, who is one of Aaron’s sons and will be anointed to take his place, is to prepare it. It must be completely burned as a permanent portion for the Lord. 23Every grain offering for a priest will be a whole burnt offering;#Dt 13:17; 33:10; 1Sm 7:9; Ps 51:19 it is not to be eaten.”
The Sin Offering
24The Lord spoke to Moses: 25“Tell Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the sin offering.#Ex 29:14 The sin offering is most holy and must be slaughtered before the Lord at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. 26The priest who offers it as a sin offering will eat it. It is to be eaten in a holy place,#Lv 16:24; 1Co 9:13 in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 27Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and if any of its blood spatters on a garment, then you must wash that garment#6:27 Lit wash what it spattered on in a holy place. 28A clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled is to be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it is to be scoured and rinsed with water. 29Any male among the priests may eat it; it is especially holy. 30But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place; it must be burned.
