Leviticus 6
6
1 # 6.1 Ch 5.20 in Heb The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2When any of you sin and commit a trespass against the Lord by deceiving a neighbor in a matter of a deposit or a pledge, or by robbery, or if you have defrauded a neighbor, 3or have found something lost and lied about it—if you swear falsely regarding any of the various things that one may do and sin thereby— 4when you have sinned and realize your guilt, and would restore what you took by robbery or by fraud or the deposit that was committed to you, or the lost thing that you found, 5or anything else about which you have sworn falsely, you shall repay the principal amount and shall add one-fifth to it. You shall pay it to its owner when you realize your guilt. 6And you shall bring to the priest, as your guilt offering to the Lord, a ram without blemish from the flock, or its equivalent, for a guilt offering. 7The priest shall make atonement on your behalf before the Lord, and you shall be forgiven for any of the things that one may do and incur guilt thereby.
Instructions concerning Sacrifices
8 # 6.8 Ch 6.1 in Heb The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 9Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the ritual of the burnt offering. The burnt offering itself shall remain on the hearth upon the altar all night until the morning, while the fire on the altar shall be kept burning. 10The priest shall put on his linen vestments after putting on his linen undergarments next to his body; and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar, and place them beside the altar. 11Then he shall take off his vestments and put on other garments, and carry the ashes out to a clean place outside the camp. 12The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it shall not go out. Every morning the priest shall add wood to it, lay out the burnt offering on it, and turn into smoke the fat pieces of the offerings of well-being. 13A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar; it shall not go out.
14This is the ritual of the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord, in front of the altar. 15They shall take from it a handful of the choice flour and oil of the grain offering, with all the frankincense that is on the offering, and they shall turn its memorial portion into smoke on the altar as a pleasing odor to the Lord. 16Aaron and his sons shall eat what is left of it; it shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it. 17It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings by fire; it is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering. 18Every male among the descendants of Aaron shall eat of it, as their perpetual due throughout your generations, from the Lord's offerings by fire; anything that touches them shall become holy.
19The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 20This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the Lord on the day when he is anointed: one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour as a regular offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21It shall be made with oil on a griddle; you shall bring it well soaked, as a grain offering of baked#6.21 Meaning of Heb uncertain pieces, and you shall present it as a pleasing odor to the Lord. 22And so the priest, anointed from among Aaron's descendants as a successor, shall prepare it; it is the Lord's—a perpetual due—to be turned entirely into smoke. 23Every grain offering of a priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten.
24The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 25Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the ritual of the sin offering. The sin offering shall be slaughtered before the Lord at the spot where the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. 26The priest who offers it as a sin offering shall eat of it; it shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the tent of meeting. 27Whatever touches its flesh shall become holy; and when any of its blood is spattered on a garment, you shall wash the bespattered part in a holy place. 28An earthen vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken; but if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, that shall be scoured and rinsed in water. 29Every male among the priests shall eat of it; it is most holy. 30But no sin offering shall be eaten from which any blood is brought into the tent of meeting for atonement in the holy place; it shall be burned with fire.

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.
