Leviticus 7

The Trespass Offering

(1) " 'Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering; it is most holy.

(2) In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the trespass offering, and the blood of it he shall sprinkle around on the altar.

(3) He shall offer from it all of its fat, the rump, and the fat that covers the inward parts,

(4) and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the appendage that is above the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take it away.

(5) The priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD; it is a trespass offering.

(6) Every male 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; there is one law for them; the priest that makes atonement with it shall have it.

(8) For the priest who offers any man’s burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.

(9) And all the grain offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is prepared in the frying pan, and in the pan, shall be the priest’s that offers it.

(10) And every grain offering, mixed with oil, or dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one shared equally as another.

The Peace Offering

(11) 'This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer to the LORD.

For a Thanksgiving

(12) If he offers it for a thanksgiving sacrifice, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil, made of fine flour, fried.

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

(14) And from it he shall offer one cake out of every offering for a heave offering to the LORD; it shall be the priest’s who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

(15) The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

A Vow, or a Free Will Offering

(16) But 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, and also on the next day the remainder of it shall be eaten.

(17) The remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.

(18) If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him that offers it; it shall be an abomination, and the man that eats from it shall bear his iniquity.

(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 shall eat of it.

(20) But the man that eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that belongs to the LORD, while uncleanness is on him, that man shall be cut off from his people.

(21) Moreover the man who touches any unclean thing, such as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean animal, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which belongs to the LORD, that man shall be cut off from his people.' "

Fat and Blood Forbidden

(22) The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

(23) "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'YOU shall eat no fat from an ox, or a sheep, or a goat.

(24) And the fat of the animal that dies of itself, and the fat of one that is torn by beasts, may be used for any other use; but YOU shall in no way eat it.

(25) For whoever eats the fat of the animal, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, the person who eats it shall be cut off from his people.

(26) Moreover YOU shall eat no blood, whether it is of bird or of beast, in any of YOUR dwellings.

(27) Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.' "

The Priests' Portion of the Peace Offerings

(28) The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

(29) "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD from the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

(30) His own hands shall bring the offerings to the LORD made by fire; he shall bring the fat with the breast so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.

(31) The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons'.

(32) And the right shoulder YOU shall give to the priest for a heave offering from the sacrifices of YOUR peace offerings.

(33) He among the sons of Aaron, who offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.

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

Offerings Summary

(35) This is the anointing portion of Aaron, and of the anointing portion of his sons, from the offerings of the LORD made by fire, on the day when he presented them to minister to the LORD in the priest’s office;

(36) These the LORD commanded to be given to them by the children of Israel, on the day that he anointed them, by a statute forever throughout their generations.

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

(38) which the LORD commanded Moses on mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
