The Guilt Offering

¹“Now this is the law of the guilt offering, which is most holy:

¹“ And this is the law of the guilt offering: It is holy of holies.

²The guilt offering must be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and the priest shall splatter its blood on all sides of the altar.

²In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering, they shall slaughter the guilt offering; and he shall sprinkle its blood on the altar all around.

³And all the fat from it shall be offered: the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails,

³And he shall bring near all its fat from it, the fat tail, and the fat that is covering the entrails,

⁴both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.

⁴and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them that is on the flanks, and the lobe of the liver above the kidneys—he shall remove it.

⁵The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.

⁵And the priest shall burn them on the altar, a fire offering to YHWH; it is a guilt offering.

⁶Every male among the priests may eat of it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

⁶Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is holy of holies;

⁷The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the same law applies to both. It belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it.

⁷Like the sin offering, like the guilt offering; one law is for them. The priest who makes atonement with it, unto him it shall be.

⁸As for the priest who presents a burnt offering for anyone, the hide of that offering belongs to him.

⁸And the priest who brings near a burnt offering of a man—the skin of the burnt offering that he has brought near, it is for the priest, for him.

⁹Likewise , every grain offering that is baked in an oven or cooked in a pan^a or on a griddle^b belongs to the priest who presents it,

⁹And every grain offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is made in the pan or on a griddle,—it shall be for the priest who brings it near, for him.

¹⁰and every grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.

¹⁰And every grain offering mixed with the oil, or dry, it shall be for all sons of Aaron, each man like his brother.

The Peace Offering

¹¹Now this is the law of the peace offering that one may present to the LORD:

¹¹And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that he shall bring near to YHWH:

¹²If he offers it in thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.

¹²If he brings it near for thanksgiving, then he shall bring it near with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with the oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with the oil, and well-mixed cakes of fine flour mixed with the oil.

¹³Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread.

¹³Upon the cakes, he shall bring near leavened bread as his offering with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.

¹⁴From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contribution to the LORD. It belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.

¹⁴And he shall bring near from it one cake from each offering, a contribution to YHWH. For the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings, for him it shall be.

¹⁵The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day he offers it; none of it may be left until morning.

¹⁵And the flesh of the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering, it shall be eaten on the day of its offering; he shall not leave from it until morning.

¹⁶If, however, the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, but the remainder may be eaten on the next day.

¹⁶And if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a freewill offering, in the day of his bringing near his sacrifice, it shall be eaten; and on the next day the remainder of it may be eaten;

¹⁷But any meat of the sacrifice remaining until the third day must be burned up.

¹⁷and the remainder from the flesh of the sacrifice in the third day must be burned in the fire.

¹⁸If any of the meat from his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presented it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁸And if from the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten at all in the third day, it shall not be accepted for him who is bringing it near, nor shall it be reckoned to him. It shall be an abomination, and the soul who eats from it shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁹Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for any other meat, anyone who is ceremonially clean may eat it.

¹⁹And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burned in the fire. And the flesh, every clean one shall eat flesh.

²⁰But if anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.

²⁰And the soul who eats the flesh from the sacrifice of the peace offerings that is to YHWH, and his uncleanness is on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people.

²¹If one touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable thing, and then eats any of the meat of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.”

²¹And if a soul touches any unclean thing—for uncleanness of man, or for an unclean animal, or for any unclean abomination—and he eats from the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offerings that is to YHWH, then that soul shall be cut off from his people.”

Fat and Blood Forbidden

²²Then the LORD said to Moses,

²²And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

²³“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘You are not to eat any of the fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

²³“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘Any fat of an ox, or sheep, or goat, you shall not eat.

²⁴The fat of an animal found dead or mauled by wild beasts may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.

²⁴And the fat of a carcass, and the fat of a torn thing, may be used for any work; and eating. you shall not eat it

²⁵If anyone eats the fat of an animal from which a food offering may be presented to the LORD, the one who eats it must be cut off from his people.

²⁵For anyone eating fat from the beast of which he brings near, a fire offering to YHWH, then the soul eating shall be cut off from his people.

²⁶You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your dwellings.

²⁶And any blood you shall not eat in any of your dwellings, of the bird and of the beast.

²⁷If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.’”

²⁷Any soul who eats any blood, then that soul shall be cut off from his people.’”

The Priests’ Portion

²⁸Then the LORD said to Moses,

²⁸And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁹“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Anyone who presents a peace offering to the LORD must bring it as his sacrifice to the LORD.

²⁹“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘He who is bringing near the sacrifice of his peace offerings to YHWH shall bring his offering to YHWH from the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

³⁰With his own hands he is to bring the food offerings to the LORD; he shall bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the LORD.

³⁰His hands shall bring fire offerings to YHWH; the fat upon the breast he shall bring with the breast to wave it as a wave offering before the face of YHWH.

³¹The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.

³¹And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, and the breast shall be for Aaron and for his sons.

³²And you are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.

³²And the right thigh you shall give as a contribution to the priest from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

³³The son of Aaron who presents the blood and fat of the peace offering shall have the right thigh as a portion.

³³The one from the sons of Aaron bringing near the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, to him shall be the right thigh for a portion.

³⁴I have taken from the sons of Israel the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion from the sons of Israel.’”

³⁴For the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution I have taken from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons for an everlasting statute from the sons of Israel.’”

³⁵This is the portion of the food offerings to the LORD for Aaron and his sons since the day they were presented to serve the LORD as priests.

³⁵This is the anointing portion of Aaron and his sons from the fire offerings to YHWH on the day Moses presented them to minister as priests to YHWH,

³⁶On the day they were anointed, the LORD commanded that this be given them by the sons of Israel. It is a permanent portion for the generations to come.

³⁶which YHWH commanded to give to them on the day of his anointing them from the sons of Israel—an everlasting statute throughout their generations.

³⁷This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering,

³⁷This is the law for the burnt offering, for the grain offering, and for the sin offering, and for the guilt offering, and for the ordination offerings, and for the sacrifice of the peace offerings,

³⁸which the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai.

³⁸that YHWH commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day of His commanding the sons of Israel to bring near their offerings to YHWH in the Wilderness of Sinai.
