Leviticus 7

Revised Geneva Translation

7 ‘Likewise, this is the Law of the Trespass Offering. It is Most Holy.

² ‘In the place where they kill the Burnt Offering shall they kill the Trespass Offering. And he shall sprinkle its blood all around, upon the Altar.

³ ‘Also, he shall offer all its fat, the rump, and the fat that covers the entrails.

⁴ ‘Afterward, he shall take away the two kidneys, with the fat that is on them and upon the flanks, and the fatty lobe on the liver, with the kidneys.

⁵ ‘Then, the priest shall burn them upon the Altar, for an offering made by fire to the LORD. This is a Trespass Offering.

⁶ ‘All the males among the priests shall eat of it. It shall be eaten in the Holy Place. It is Most Holy.

⁷ ‘As is the Sin Offering, so is the Trespass Offering. One law serves for both. That with which the priest shall make atonement shall be his.

⁸ ‘Also, the priest who offers any man’s Burnt Offering shall keep the skin of the Burnt Offering which he has offered.

⁹ ‘And all the Meat Offering that is baked in the oven, and that is dressed in the pan, and in the frying pan, shall be the priest’s who offers it.

¹⁰ ‘And every Meat Offering, whether mingled with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron (to all alike).

¹¹ ‘Furthermore, this is the Law of the Peace Offerings which he shall offer to the LORD.

¹² ‘If he offers it to give thanks, then he shall offer for his thanks offering unleavened cakes mingled with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried with the cakes mingled with oil.

¹³ ‘He shall offer his offering with cakes of leavened bread, for his Peace Offerings, to give thanks.

¹⁴ ‘And from all the sacrifice he shall offer one cake for a Heave Offering to the LORD. It shall be the priest’s who sprinkled the blood of the Peace Offerings.

¹⁵ ‘Also, the flesh of the Peace Offerings shall be eaten the same day that it is offered, for thanksgiving. He shall leave nothing of it until the morning.

¹⁶ ‘But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a Free Offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice. And so, the residue of it shall be eaten in the morning.

¹⁷ ‘But however much of the offered flesh remains until the third day shall be burnt with fire.

¹⁸ ‘For if any of the flesh of his Peace Offerings is eaten on the third day, he who offers it shall not be accepted, nor shall it be credited to him. But it shall be an abomination. Therefore, the person who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁹ ‘Also, the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten but burnt with fire. But all of this flesh that is clean shall be eaten.

²⁰ ‘But if anyone eats of the flesh of the Peace Offerings that belongs to the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even the same person shall be cut off from his people.

²¹ ‘Moreover, when anyone touches any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or of an unclean beast, or of any filthy abomination, and eats of the flesh of the Peace Offerings which belong to the LORD, even that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

²² Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

²³ “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘You shall eat no fat of oxen, nor of sheep, nor of goats.

²⁴ ‘However, the fat of the wild beast which has died naturally, and the fat of that which is torn by other wild beasts, may be used in other ways. But you shall not eat of it.

²⁵ ‘For whoever eats the fat of the beast with which you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, the person who eats shall be cut off from his people.

²⁶ ‘Nor shall you eat any blood, either of bird or of beast, in all your dwellings.

²⁷ ‘Every person who eats any blood, the same person shall be cut off from his people.’”

²⁸ And the LORD talked with Moses, saying,

²⁹ “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘He who offers his p Peace Offerings to the LORD shall bring his gift to the LORD from his Peace Offerings.

³⁰ ‘His hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be shaken to and fro before the LORD.

³¹ ‘Then the priest shall burn the fat upon the Altar. And the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

³² ‘And you shall give the right shoulder to the priest for a Heave Offering, from your Peace Offerings.

³³ ‘The same one who offers the blood of the Peace Offerings, and the fat among the sons of Aaron, shall have the right shoulder for his part.

³⁴ ‘For the breast (shaken to and fro) and the shoulder (lifted up) I have taken from the children of Israel, from their Peace Offerings, and have given them to Aaron the Priest and to his sons, by a statute, forever, from among the children of Israel.’”

³⁵ This is the anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons, concerning the offerings of the LORD, made by fire, on the day when he presented them to serve in the priest’s office to the LORD,

³⁶ which the LORD commanded to give them on the day that He anointed them from among the children of Israel, by a statute, forever, in their generations.

³⁷ This is the Law of the Burnt Offering, of the Meat Offering, and of the Sin Offering, and of the Trespass Offering, and of the consecrations, and of the Peace Offerings,

³⁸ which the LORD commanded Moses on the mount Sinai, when He commanded the children of Israel to offer their gifts to the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai.
