Leviticus 7-9

Leviticus 7

¹‘And this is a law of the guilt-offering: it is most holy;

²in the place where they slaughter the burnt-offering they do slaughter the guilt-offering, and its blood one doth sprinkle on the altar round about,

³and all its fat he bringeth near out of it, the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the inwards,

⁴and the two kidneys, and the fat which is on them, which is on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver (beside the kidneys he doth turn it aside);

⁵and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar, a fire-offering to Jehovah; it is a guilt-offering.

⁶‘Every male among the priests doth eat it; in the holy place it is eaten -- it is most holy;

⁷as is a sin-offering, so is a guilt-offering; one law is for them; the priest who maketh atonement by it -- it is his.

⁸‘And the priest who is bringing near any man's burnt-offering, the skin of the burnt-offering which he hath brought near, it is the priest's, his own;

⁹and every present which is baked in an oven, and every one done in a frying-pan, and on a girdel, is the priest's who is bringing it near; it is his;

¹⁰and every present, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron -- one as another.

¹¹‘And this is a law of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which one bringeth near to Jehovah:

¹²if for a thank-offering he bring it near, then he hath brought near with the sacrifice of thank-offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and of fried flour cakes mixed with oil;

¹³besides the cakes, fermented bread he doth bring near with his offering, besides the sacrifice of thank-offering of his peace-offerings;

¹⁴and he hath brought near out of it one of the whole offering -- a heave-offering to Jehovah; to the priest who is sprinkling the blood of the peace-offerings -- it is his;

¹⁵as to the flesh of the sacrifice of the thank-offering of his peace-offerings, in the day of his offering it is eaten; he doth not leave of it till morning.

¹⁶‘And if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or free-will offering, in the day of his bringing near his sacrifice it is eaten; and on the morrow also the remnant of it is eaten;

¹⁷and the remnant of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day with fire is burnt;

¹⁸and if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings be really eaten on the third day, it is not pleasing; for him who is bringing it near it is not reckoned; it is an abominable thing, and the person who is eating of it his iniquity doth bear.

¹⁹‘And the flesh which cometh against any unclean thing is not eaten; with fire it is burnt; as to the flesh, every clean one doth eat of the flesh;

²⁰and the person who eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which are Jehovah's, and his uncleanness upon him, even that person hath been cut off from his people.

²¹‘And when a person cometh against any thing unclean, of the uncleanness of man, or of the uncleanness of beasts, or of any unclean teeming creature, and hath eaten of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which are Jehovah's, even that person hath been cut off from his people.'

²²And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²³‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Any fat of ox and sheep and goat ye do not eat;

²⁴and the fat of a carcase, and the fat of a torn thing is prepared for any work, but ye do certainly not eat it;

²⁵for whoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which one bringeth near a fire-offering to Jehovah, even the person who eateth hath been cut off from his people.

²⁶‘And any blood ye do not eat in all your dwellings, of fowl, or of beast;

²⁷any person who eateth any blood, even that person hath been cut off from his people.'

²⁸And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²⁹‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, He who is bringing near the sacrifice of his peace-offerings to Jehovah doth bring in his offering to Jehovah from the sacrifice of his peace-offerings;

³⁰his own hands do bring in the fire-offerings of Jehovah, the fat beside the breast, it he doth bring in with the breast, to wave it -- a wave-offering before Jehovah.

³¹‘And the priest hath made perfume with the fat on the altar, and the breast hath been Aaron's and his sons;

³²and the right leg ye do make a heave-offering to the priest of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings;

³³he of the sons of Aaron who is bringing near the blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, his is the right leg for a portion.

³⁴‘For the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the heave-offering, I have taken from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and I give them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a statute age-during, from the sons of Israel.'

³⁵This is the anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons out of the fire-offerings of Jehovah, in the day he hath brought them near to act as priest to Jehovah,

³⁶which Jehovah hath commanded to give to them in the day of His anointing them, from the sons of Israel -- a statute age-during to their generations.

³⁷This is the law for burnt-offering, for present, and for sin-offering, and for guilt-offering, and for consecrations, and for a sacrifice of the peace-offerings,

³⁸which Jehovah hath commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day of his commanding the sons of Israel to bring near their offerings to Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai.

Leviticus 8

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²‘Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened things,

³and all the company assemble thou unto the opening of the tent of meeting.'

⁴And Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded him, and the company is assembled unto the opening of the tent of meeting,

⁵and Moses saith unto the company, ‘This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded to do.'

⁶And Moses bringeth near Aaron and his sons, and doth bathe them with water,

⁷and doth put on him the coat, and doth gird him with the girdle, and doth clothe him with the upper robe, and doth put on him the ephod, and doth gird him with the girdle of the ephod, and doth bind it to him with it,

⁸and doth put on him the breastplate, and doth put unto the breastplate the Lights and the Perfections,

⁹and doth put the mitre on his head, and doth put on the mitre, over-against its front, the golden flower of the holy crown, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

¹⁰And Moses taketh the anointing oil, and anointeth the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and sanctifieth them;

¹¹and he sprinkleth of it on the altar seven times, and anointeth the altar, and all its vessels, and the laver, and its base, to sanctify them;

¹²and he poureth of the anointing oil on the head of Aaron, and anointeth him to sanctify him.

¹³And Moses bringeth near the sons of Aaron, and doth clothe them with coats, and girdeth them with girdles, and bindeth for them turbans, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

¹⁴And he bringeth nigh the bullock of the sin-offering, and Aaron layeth -- his sons also -- their hands on the head of the bullock of the sin-offering,

¹⁵and one slaughtereth, and Moses taketh the blood, and putteth on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and cleanseth the altar, and the blood he hath poured out at the foundation of the altar, and sanctifieth it, to make atonement upon it.

¹⁶And he taketh all the fat that is on the inwards, and the redundance above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses maketh Perfume on the altar,

¹⁷and the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he hath burnt with fire, at the outside of the camp, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

¹⁸And he bringeth near the ram of the burnt-offering, and Aaron and his sons lay their hands on the head of the ram,

¹⁹and one slaughtereth, and Moses sprinkleth the blood on the altar round about;

²⁰and the ram he hath cut into its pieces, and Moses maketh perfume with the head, and the pieces, and the fat,

²¹and the inwards and the legs he hath washed with water, and Moses maketh perfume with the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance; it is a fire-offering to Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

²²And he bringeth near the second ram, a ram of the consecrations, and Aaron and his sons lay their hands on the head of the ram,

²³and one slaughtereth, and Moses taketh of its blood, and putteth on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;

²⁴and he bringeth near the sons of Aaron, and Moses putteth of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot. And Moses sprinkleth the blood on the altar round about,

²⁵and taketh the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that is on the inwards, and the redundance above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right leg;

²⁶and out of the basket of unleavened things, which is before Jehovah, he hath taken one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one thin cake, and putteth them on the fat, and on the right leg;

²⁷and putteth the whole on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and waveth them -- a wave-offering before Jehovah.

²⁸And Moses taketh them from off their hands, and maketh perfume on the altar, on the burnt-offering, they are consecrations for sweet fragrance; it is a fire-offering to Jehovah;

²⁹and Moses taketh the breast, and waveth it -- a wave-offering before Jehovah; of the ram of the consecrations it hath been to Moses for a portion, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

³⁰And Moses taketh of the anointing oil, and of the blood which is on the altar, and sprinkleth on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him, and he sanctifieth Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

³¹And Moses saith unto Aaron, and unto his sons, ‘Boil ye the flesh at the opening of the tent of meeting, and there ye do eat it and the bread which is in the basket of the consecrations, as I have commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons do eat it.

³²‘And the remnant of the flesh and of the bread with fire ye burn;

³³and from the opening of the tent of meeting ye go not out seven days, till the day of the fulness, the days of your consecration -- for seven days he doth consecrate your hand;

³⁴as he hath done on this day, Jehovah hath commanded to do, to make atonement for you;

³⁵and at the opening of the tent of meeting ye abide, by day and by night seven days, and ye have kept the charge of Jehovah, and die not, for so I have been commanded.'

³⁶And Aaron doth -- his sons also -- all the things which Jehovah hath commanded by the hand of Moses.

Leviticus 9

¹And it cometh to pass on the eighth day, Moses hath called for Aaron and for his sons, and for the elders of Israel,

²and he saith unto Aaron, ‘Take to thyself a calf, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, perfect ones, and bring near before Jehovah.

³‘And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a calf, and a lamb, sons of a year, perfect ones, for a burnt-offering,

⁴and a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah, and a present mixed with oil; for to-day Jehovah hath appeared unto you.'

⁵And they take that which Moses hath commanded unto the front of the tent of meeting, and all the company draw near and stand before Jehovah;

⁶and Moses saith, ‘This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded; do it, and the honour of Jehovah doth appear unto you.'

⁷And Moses saith unto Aaron, ‘Draw near unto the altar, and make thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people, and make the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as Jehovah hath commanded.'

⁸And Aaron draweth near unto the altar, and slaughtereth the calf of the sin-offering, which is for himself;

⁹and the sons of Aaron bring the blood near unto him, and he dippeth his finger in the blood, and putteth it on the horns of the altar, and the blood he hath poured out at the foundation of the altar;

¹⁰and the fat, and the kidneys, and the redundance of the liver, of the sin-offering, he hath made a perfume on the altar, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses;

¹¹and the flesh and the skin he hath burnt with fire, at the outside of the camp.

¹²And he slaughtereth the burnt-offering, and the sons of Aaron have presented unto him the blood, and he sprinkleth it on the altar round about;

¹³and the burnt-offering they have presented unto him, by its pieces, and the head, and he maketh perfume on the altar;

¹⁴and he washeth the inwards and the legs, and maketh perfume for the burnt-offering on the altar.

¹⁵And he bringeth near the offering of the people, and taketh the goat of the sin-offering which is for the people, and slaughtered it, and maketh it a sin-offering, like the first;

¹⁶and he bringeth near the burnt-offering, and maketh it, according to the ordinance;

¹⁷and he bringeth near the present, and filleth his palm with it, and maketh perfume on the altar, apart from the burnt-offering of the morning.

¹⁸And he slaughtereth the bullock and the ram, a sacrifice of the peace-offerings, which are for the people, and sons of Aaron present the blood unto him (and he sprinkleth it on the altar round about),

¹⁹and the fat of the bullock, and of the ram, the fat tail, and the covering of the inwards, and the kidneys, and the redundance above the liver,

²⁰and they set the fat on the breasts, and he maketh perfume with the fat on the altar;

²¹and the breasts, and the right leg hath Aaron waved -- a wave-offering before Jehovah, as He hath commanded Moses.

²²And Aaron lifteth up his hand towards the people, and blesseth them, and cometh down from making the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings.

²³And Moses goeth in -- Aaron also -- unto the tent of meeting, and they come out, and bless the people, and the honour of Jehovah appeareth unto all the people;

²⁴and fire cometh out from before Jehovah, and consumeth on the altar the burnt-offering, and the fat; and all the people see, and cry aloud, and fall on their faces.
