Leviticus 7

¹‘Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering (it is most holy):

²In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the trespass offering. And its blood he shall sprinkle all around on the altar.

³And he shall offer from it all its fat. The fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails,

⁴the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove;

⁵and the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the Lord

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

⁷The trespass offering is like the sin offering; there is one law for them both: the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.

⁸And the priest who offers anyone’s burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.

⁹Also every grain offering that is baked in the oven and all that is prepared in the covered pan, or in a pan, shall be the priest’s who offers it.

¹⁰Every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron, to one as much as the other.

¹¹‘This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which he shall offer to the Lord

¹²If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, or cakes of blended flour mixed with oil.

¹³Besides the cakes, as his offering he shall offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering.

¹⁴And from it he shall offer one cake from each offering as a heave offering to the Lord

¹⁵‘The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day it is offered. He shall not leave any of it until morning.

¹⁶But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice; but on the next day the remainder of it also may be eaten;

¹⁷the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day must be burned with fire.

¹⁸And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, nor shall it be imputed to him; it shall be an abomination to him who offers it, and the person who eats of it shall bear guilt.

¹⁹‘The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. And as for the clean flesh, all who are clean may eat of it.

²⁰But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord

²¹Moreover the person who touches any unclean thing, such as human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any abominable unclean thing, and who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord

²²And the Lord

²³“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘You shall not eat any fat, of ox or sheep or goat.

²⁴And the fat of an animal that dies naturally, and the fat of what is torn by wild beasts, may be used in any other way; but you shall by no means eat it.

²⁵For whoever eats the fat of the animal of which men offer an offering made by fire to the Lord

²⁶Moreover you shall not eat any blood in any of your dwellings, whether of bird or beast.

²⁷Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

²⁸Then the Lord

²⁹“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offering to the Lord

³⁰His own hands shall bring the offerings made by fire to the Lord

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

³²Also the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

³³He among the sons of Aaron, who offers the blood of the peace offering and the fat, shall have the right thigh for his part.

³⁴For the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering I have taken from the children of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the children of Israel by a statute forever.’ ”

³⁵This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons, from the offerings made by fire to the Lord

³⁶The Lord

³⁷This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the consecrations, and the sacrifice of the peace offering,

³⁸which the Lord
