Leviticus 6

Revised Geneva Translation

6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

² “If anyone sins and commits a trespass against the LORD by lying to his neighbor about that which was given to him to keep, or that which was entrusted to him. Or if he robs or oppresses his neighbor by violence

³ “or has found that which was lost and denies it and swears falsely about any of these things that a man does in which he sins—

⁴ “when, I say, he thus sins and trespasses—he shall then restore the robbery that he robbed or the thing taken by violence which he took by force or the thing which was delivered to him to keep or the lost thing which he found

⁵ “or for whatever he has sworn falsely. He shall both restore it in the whole sum and shall add a fifth more to it and give it to him to whom it pertains on the same day that he offers for his trespass.

⁶ “Also, for his trespass, he shall bring to the LORD a ram without blemish, out of the flock (in your estimation worth two shekels) for a Trespass Offering to the Priest.

⁷ “And the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD, and it shall be forgiven him, whatever thing he has done and trespassed in.”

⁸ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

⁹ “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the Law of the Burnt Offering, (it is the Burnt Offering because it burns upon the Altar all night, until morning, and the fire burns on the Altar).

¹⁰ ‘And the Priest shall put on his linen garment and shall put on his linen trousers upon his flesh and take away the ashes when the fire has consumed the Burnt Offering upon the Altar. And he shall put them beside the Altar.

¹¹ ‘Afterward, he shall take off his garments and put on other clothes and carry the ashes forth, outside the camp, to a clean place.

¹² ‘But the fire upon the Altar shall burn on it and never be put out. Therefore, the Priest shall burn wood on it every morning and lay the Burnt Offering in order upon it. And he shall burn the fat of the Peace Offerings on it.

¹³ ‘The fire shall always burn upon the Altar, never going out.

¹⁴ ‘Also, this is the Law of the Meat Offering, which Aaron’s sons shall offer in the presence of the LORD, before the Altar.

¹⁵ ‘He shall take from it a handful of fine flour from the Meat Offering and from the oil, and all the incense which is upon the Meat Offering, and shall burn it upon the Altar, for a sweet savor, a memorial therefore to the LORD.

¹⁶ ‘But the rest of it, Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten without leaven, in the Holy Place. In the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation they shall eat it.

¹⁷ ‘It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it for their portion of My offering, made by fire. It is as the Sin Offering and the Trespass Offering.

¹⁸ ‘All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a Statute forever in your generations, concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Whatever touches them shall be holy.’”

¹⁹ Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁰ “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons which they shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, for a perpetual Meat Offering, half of it in the morning and half of it at night.

²¹ “It shall be made with oil, in the frying pan. You shall bring it fried and shall offer the baked pieces of the Meat Offering for a sweet savor to the LORD.

²² “And the Priest among his sons, who is anointed in his place, shall offer it. It is the LORD’s Ordinance, forever. It shall be burnt altogether.

²³ “For every Meat Offering of the Priest shall be burnt altogether. It shall not be eaten.”

²⁴ Furthermore, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁵ “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and say, ‘This is the Law of the Sin Offering: In the place where the Burnt Offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before the LORD. It is most holy.

²⁶ ‘The Priest who offers this Sin Offering shall eat it. It shall be eaten in the Holy Place, in the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

²⁷ ‘Whatever shall touch its flesh shall be holy. And when its blood drops upon a garment, you shall wash that upon which it dropped in the Holy Place.

²⁸ ‘Also, the earthen pot in which it is boiled shall be broken. But if it is boiled in a bronze pot, it shall be both scoured and washed with water.

²⁹ ‘All the males among the priests shall eat of it. It is most holy.

³⁰ ‘But no sin offering whose blood is brought into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to make reconciliation in the Holy Place, shall be eaten. Rather, it shall be burnt with fire.’
