Leviticus 7
7
1‘And this [is] a law of the guilt-offering: it [is] most holy;
2in the place where they slaughter the burnt-offering they do slaughter the guiltoffering, and its blood [one] doth sprinkle on the altar round about,
3and all its fat he bringeth near out of it, the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the inwards,
4and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, which [is] on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver (beside the kidneys he doth turn it aside);
5and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar, a fire-offering to Jehovah; it [is] a guilt-offering.
6‘Every male among the priests doth eat it; in the holy place it is eaten — it [is] most holy;
7as [is] a sin-offering, so [is] a guilt-offering; one law [is] for them; the priest who maketh atonement by it — it is his.
8‘And the priest who is bringing near any man's burnt-offering, the skin of the burntoffering which he hath brought near, it is the priest's, his own;
9and every present which is baked in an oven, and every one done in a frying-pan, and on a girdel, [is] the priest's who is bringing it near; it is his;
10and every present, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron — one as another.
11‘And this [is] a law of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which [one] bringeth near to Jehovah:
12if for a thank-offering he bring it near, then he hath brought near with the sacrifice of thank-offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and of fried flour cakes mixed with oil;
13besides the cakes, fermented bread he doth bring near [with] his offering, besides the sacrifice of thank-offering of his peace-offerings;
14and he hath brought near out of it one of the whole offering — a heave-offering to Jehovah; to the priest who is sprinkling the blood of the peace-offerings — it is his;
15as to the flesh of the sacrifice of the thank-offering of his peace-offerings, in the day of his offering it is eaten; he doth not leave of it till morning.
16‘And if the sacrifice of his offering [is] a vow or free-will offering, in the day of his bringing near his sacrifice it is eaten; and on the morrow also the remnant of it is eaten;
17and the remnant of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day with fire is burnt;
18and if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings be really eaten on the third day, it is not pleasing; for him who is bringing it near it is not reckoned; it is an abominable thing, and the person who is eating of it his iniquity doth bear.
19‘And the flesh which cometh against any unclean thing is not eaten; with fire it is burnt; as to the flesh, every clean one doth eat of the flesh;
20and the person who eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which [are] Jehovah's, and his uncleanness upon him, even that person hath been cut off from his people.
21‘And when a person cometh against any thing unclean, of the uncleanness of man, or of the uncleanness of beasts, or of any unclean teeming creature, and hath eaten of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which [are] Jehovah's, even that person hath been cut off from his people.’
22And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
23‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Any fat of ox and sheep and goat ye do not eat;
24and the fat of a carcase, and the fat of a torn thing is prepared for any work, but ye do certainly not eat it;
25for whoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which [one] bringeth near a fire-offering to Jehovah, even the person who eateth hath been cut off from his people.
26‘And any blood ye do not eat in all your dwellings, of fowl, or of beast;
27any person who eateth any blood, even that person hath been cut off from his people.’
28And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
29‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, He who is bringing near the sacrifice of his peace-offerings to Jehovah doth bring in his offering to Jehovah from the sacrifice of his peaceofferings;
30his own hands do bring in the fire-offerings of Jehovah, the fat beside the breast, it he doth bring in with the breast, to wave it — a wave-offering before Jehovah.
31‘And the priest hath made perfume with the fat on the altar, and the breast hath been Aaron's and his sons;
32and the right leg ye do make a heave-offering to the priest of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings;
33he of the sons of Aaron who is bringing near the blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, his is the right leg for a portion.
34‘For the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the heave-offering, I have taken from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and I give them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a statute age-during, from the sons of Israel.’
35This [is] the anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons out of the fireofferings of Jehovah, in the day he hath brought them near to act as priest to Jehovah,
36which Jehovah hath commanded to give to them in the day of His anointing them, from the sons of Israel — a statute age-during to their generations.
37This [is] the law for burnt-offering, for present, and for sin-offering, and for guiltoffering, and for consecrations, and for a sacrifice of the peace-offerings,
38which Jehovah hath commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day of his commanding the sons of Israel to bring near their offerings to Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai.

The Guilt Offering
1“Now this is the law of the guilt#7:1 Or restitution offering;#Lv 14:12–13 it is especially holy. 2The guilt offering is to be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offering#Gn 22:2; Lv 3:5; Nm 6:11; Jos 8:31; 1Ch 16:1; Ps 20:3; Mc 6:6 is slaughtered, and the priest is to splatter its blood on all sides of the altar. 3The offerer is to present all the fat from it: the fat tail,#Lv 3:9 the fat surrounding the entrails,#7:3 LXX, Sam add and all the fat that is on the entrails; Lv 3:3,9,14; 4:8 4and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver#Lv 9:10 with the kidneys. 5The priest will burn them on the altar as a food offering#Dt 18:1 to the Lord; it is a guilt offering. 6Any male among the priests may eat it.#1Co 9:13 It is to be eaten in a holy place;#Lv 16:24 it is especially holy.#Lv 14:13
7“The guilt offering is like the sin offering;#Ex 29:14 the law is the same for both. It belongs to the priest#Lv 14:13 who makes atonement#Ex 30:15 with it. 8As for the priest who presents someone’s burnt offering, the hide of the burnt offering he has presented belongs to him; it is the priest’s. 9Any grain offering#Ex 40:29 that is baked in an oven or prepared in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it; it is his. 10But any grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all of Aaron’s sons.
The Fellowship Sacrifice
11“Now this is the law of the fellowship sacrifice#Lv 3:1,3,6,9 that someone may present to the Lord: 12If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice,#Lv 22:29 he is to present unleavened cakes#Ex 12:8 mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers#Lv 2:4 coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil. 13He is to present as his offering cakes of leavened bread with his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship. 14From the cakes he is to present one portion of each offering as a contribution#Ex 36:3 to the Lord. It will belong to the priest who splatters the blood of the fellowship offering; it is his. 15The meat of his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship must be eaten on the day he offers it;#Lv 22:30 he may not leave any of it until morning.#Ex 12:10; 34:25; Lv 19:5–8; Dt 16:4
16“If the sacrifice he offers is a vow#Lv 27:8 or a freewill offering,#Ex 35:29 it is to be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and what is left over may be eaten on the next day. 17But what remains of the sacrificial meat by the third day must be burned.#Lv 19:6 18If any of the meat of his fellowship sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted.#Lv 1:4 It will not be credited to the one who presents it; it is repulsive.#Lv 19:7; Is 65:4; Ezk 4:14 The person who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.#7:18 Or will bear his guilt
19“Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned. Everyone who is clean may eat any other meat. 20But the one who eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from his people.#Gn 17:14; Lv 7:27; 19:8; Nm 9:13 21If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, abhorrent#7:21 Some Hb mss, Sam, Syr, Tg read swarming#Lv 11:10–13,20,23,41–42; Is 66:17; Ezk 8:10 creature, and eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice, that person is to be cut off from his people.”
Fat and Blood Prohibited
22The Lord spoke to Moses: 23“Tell the Israelites: You are not to eat any fat#Lv 3:16–17 of an ox, a sheep, or a goat. 24The fat of an animal that dies naturally or is mauled by wild beasts#7:24 Lit fat of a carcass or the fat of a mauled beast#Lv 17:15; 22:8 may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.#Ex 22:31; Lv 3:17; 17:15; 22:8; Dt 14:21; Ezk 4:14; 44:31 25If anyone eats animal fat from a food offering presented to the Lord, the person who eats it is to be cut off from his people. 26Wherever you live, you must not eat the blood#Gn 9:3–4; Lv 17:10–12; Dt 12:16,23 of any bird or animal. 27Whoever eats any blood is to be cut off from his people.”
The Portion for the Priests
28The Lord spoke to Moses: 29“Tell the Israelites: The one who presents a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord is to bring an offering to the Lord from his sacrifice. 30His own hands will bring the food offerings to the Lord. He will bring the fat together with the breast. The breast is to be presented as a presentation offering#Ex 29:24 before the Lord. 31The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. 32You are to give the right thigh#Ex 29:22; Lv 8:25–26; 9:21; Nm 18:18 to the priest as a contribution from your fellowship sacrifices. 33The son of Aaron who presents the blood of the fellowship offering and the fat will have the right thigh as a portion. 34I have taken from the Israelites the breast of the presentation offering and the thigh of the contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, and have assigned them to the priest Aaron and to his sons as a permanent portion#7:34 Or statute, also in v. 36#Ex 29:28; 30:21; Lv 6:18,22; 10:15; 24:9; Nm 18:8,11,19; Jr 5:22 from the Israelites.”
35This is the portion from the food offerings to the Lord for Aaron and his sons#Mt 10:10; 1Co 9:13–14; 1Tm 5:17–18 since the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests. 36The Lord commanded this to be given to them by the Israelites on the day he anointed them.#Ex 40:13–15; Lv 8:12,30 It is a permanent portion throughout their generations.
37This is the law for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering,#Lv 8:22 and the fellowship sacrifice, 38which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai#Ex 34:2 on the day he commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai.#Ex 31:18; 34:32; Lv 26:46; Neh 9:13
