Leviticus 7-9

Leviticus 7

¹And this is the law of the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.

²They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar.

³And all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to be given as an offering.

⁴And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away:

⁵They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing.

⁶Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy.

⁷As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it.

⁸And the priest offering any man's burned offering for him, may have the skin of the burned offering which is offered by him.

⁹And every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered.

¹⁰And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure.

¹¹And this is the law for the peace-offerings offered to the Lord.

¹²If any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil.

¹³With his peace-offering let him give cakes of leavened bread, as a praise-offering.

¹⁴And let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord; that it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the altar.

¹⁵And the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is offered; no part of it may be kept till the morning.

¹⁶But if his offering is made because of an oath or given freely, it may be taken as food on the day when it is offered; and the rest may be used up on the day after:

¹⁷But if any of the flesh of the offering is still unused on the third day, it is to be burned with fire.

¹⁸And if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day, it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who gives it; it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food.

¹⁹And flesh touched by any unclean thing may not be taken for food: it is to be burned with fire; and as for the flesh of the peace-offerings, everyone who is clean may take it as food:

²⁰But he who is unclean when he takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.

²¹And anyone who, after touching any unclean thing of man or an unclean beast or any unclean and disgusting thing, takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.

²²And the Lord said to Moses,

²³Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food.

²⁴And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food.

²⁵For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people.

²⁶And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses.

²⁷Whoever takes any blood for food will be cut off from his people.

²⁸And the Lord said to Moses,

²⁹Say to the children of Israel: He who makes a peace-offering to the Lord, is to give an offering to the Lord out of his peace-offering:

³⁰He himself is to take to the Lord the offering made by fire, even the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

³¹And the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.

³²And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings.

³³That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part.

³⁴For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel.

³⁵This is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the Lord;

³⁶Which the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to generation.

³⁷These are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for wrongdoing; and for the making of priests, and for the giving of peace-offerings;

³⁸As they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai.

Leviticus 8

¹And the Lord said to Moses,

²Take Aaron, and his sons with him, and the robes and the holy oil and the ox of the sin-offering and the two male sheep and the basket of unleavened bread;

³And let all the people come together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

⁴And Moses did as the Lord said, and all the people came together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

⁵And Moses said to the people, This is what the Lord has given orders to be done.

⁶Then Moses took Aaron and his sons; and after washing them with water,

⁷He put the coat on him, making it tight with its band, and then the robe, and over it the ephod, with its band of needlework to keep it in place.

⁸And he put the priest's bag on him, and in the bag he put the Urim and Thummim.

⁹And on his head he put the head-dress, and in front of the head-dress the plate of gold, the holy crown, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

¹⁰And Moses took the holy oil and put it on the House and on all the things in it, to make them holy.

¹¹Seven times he put oil on the altar and on all its vessels, and on the washing-basin and its base, to make them holy.

¹²And some of the oil he put on Aaron's head, to make him holy.

¹³Then he took Aaron's sons, clothing them with the coats, and putting the bands round them, and the head-dresses on their heads, as the Lord had given him orders.

¹⁴And he took the ox of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the ox,

¹⁵And he put it to death; and Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar and round it with his finger, and made the altar clean, draining out the blood at the base of the altar; so he made it holy, taking away what was unclean.

¹⁶And he took all the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, to be burned on the altar;

¹⁷But the ox, with its skin and its flesh and its waste, was burned with fire outside the tent-circle, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

¹⁸And he put the male sheep of the burned offering before the Lord, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head,

¹⁹And he put it to death; and Moses put some of the blood on and round the altar.

²⁰And when the sheep had been cut into parts, the head and the parts and the fat were burned by Moses.

²¹And the inside parts and the legs were washed with water and all the sheep was burned by Moses on the altar; it was a burned offering for a sweet smell: it was an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

²²And he put the other sheep before the Lord, the sheep with which they were made priests; and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the sheep,

²³And he put it to death; and Moses took some of the blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot.

²⁴Then he took Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the point of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet: and Moses put the blood on and round the altar.

²⁵And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right leg;

²⁶And out of the basket of unleavened bread which was before the Lord he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of bread with oil on it, and one thin cake, and put them on the fat and on the right leg:

²⁷And he put them all on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord.

²⁸And Moses took them from their hands, and they were burned on the altar on the burned offering, as a priest's offering for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

²⁹And Moses took the breast, waving it for a wave offering before the Lord; it was Moses' part of the sheep of the priest's offering, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

³⁰And Moses took some of the holy oil and of the blood which was on the altar and put it on Aaron and on his robes, and on his sons and on his sons' robes; and made Aaron holy, and his robes and his sons and his sons' robes with him.

³¹And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, The flesh is to be cooked in water at the door of the Tent of meeting, and there you are to take it as food, together with the bread in the basket, as I have given orders, saying, It is the food of Aaron and his sons.

³²And that which is over of the flesh and of the bread is to be burned with fire.

³³And you are not to go out from the door of the Tent of meeting for seven days, till the days for making you priest are ended; for this will be the work of seven days.

³⁴What has been done this day, has been ordered by the Lord to take away your sin.

³⁵And you are to keep watch for the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting day and night for seven days, so that death may not come to you: for so he has given me orders.

³⁶And Aaron and his sons did all the things about which the Lord had given orders through Moses.

Leviticus 9

¹And on the eighth day Moses sent for Aaron and his sons and the responsible men of Israel;

²And he said to Aaron, Take a young ox for a sin-offering and a male sheep for a burned offering, without a mark, and make an offering of them before the Lord.

³And say to the children of Israel: Take a he-goat for a sin-offering, and a young ox and a lamb, in their first year, without any mark on them, for a burned offering;

⁴And an ox and a male sheep for peace-offerings, to be put to death before the Lord; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for this day you are to see the Lord.

⁵And they took the things ordered by Moses, before the Tent of meeting, and all the people came near, waiting before the Lord.

⁶And Moses said, This is what the Lord has said you are to do; and you will see the glory of the Lord.

⁷And Moses said to Aaron, Come near to the altar and make your sin-offering and your burned offering to take away your sin and the sin of the people, and make the people's offering to take away their sin; as the Lord has given orders.

⁸So Aaron came near to the altar and put to death the ox for the sin-offering for himself;

⁹And the sons of Aaron gave him the blood and he put his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, draining out the blood at the base of the altar;

¹⁰But the fat and the kidneys and the fat on the liver of the sin-offering were burned by him on the altar as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

¹¹And the flesh and the skin were burned with fire outside the tent-circle;

¹²And he put to death the burned offering; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

¹³And they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head, to be burned on the altar.

¹⁴And the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were burned on the burned offering on the altar.

¹⁵And he made an offering for the people and took the goat of the sin-offering for the people and put it to death, offering it for sin, in the same way as the first.

¹⁶And he took the burned offering, offering it in the ordered way;

¹⁷And he put the meal offering before the Lord, and taking some of it in his hand he had it burned on the altar, separately from the burned offering of the morning.

¹⁸And he put to death the ox and the sheep, which were the peace-offerings for the people; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

¹⁹And as for the fat of the ox and the fat tail of the sheep and the fat covering the inside parts and the kidneys and the fat on the liver;

²⁰They put the fat on the breasts, and the fat was burned on the altar.

²¹And Aaron took the breasts and the right leg, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses gave orders.

²²And Aaron, lifting up his hands to the people, gave them a blessing; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burned offering, and the peace-offerings.

²³And Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of meeting, and came out and gave the people a blessing, and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people.

²⁴And fire came out from before the Lord, burning up the offering on the altar and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they gave a loud cry, falling down on their faces.
