The Guilt Offering (Leviticus 5:14–19; Leviticus 6:1–7)
1 DBY And this is the law of the trespass-offering — it is most holy: BSB BSB: “Now this is the law of the guilt offering, which is most holy:
2 DBY in the place where they slaughter the burnt-offering shall they slaughter the trespass-offering; and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle on the altar round about. BSB BSB: The guilt offering must be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and the priest shall splatter its blood on all sides of the altar.
3 DBY And he shall present of it all the fat thereof; the fat tail and the fat that covereth the inwards, BSB BSB: And all the fat from it shall be offered: the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails,
4 DBY and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the net above the liver, which he shall take away as far as the kidneys. BSB BSB: both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.
5 DBY And the priest shall burn them on the altar, an offering by fire to Jehovah: it is a trespass-offering. BSB BSB: The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.
6 DBY Every male among the priests shall eat thereof; in a holy place shall it be eaten: it is most holy. BSB BSB: Every male among the priests may eat of it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
7 DBY As the sin-offering, so is the trespass-offering; there shall be one law for them: it shall be the priest's who maketh atonement therewith. BSB BSB: The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the same law applies to both. It belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it.
8 DBY And as to the priest that presenteth any man's burnt-offering, the skin of the burnt-offering which he hath presented shall be the priest's for himself. BSB BSB: As for the priest who presents a burnt offering for anyone, the hide of that offering belongs to him.
9 DBY And every oblation that is baken in the oven, and all that is prepared in the cauldron and in the pan, shall be the priest's who offereth it; to him it shall belong. BSB BSB: Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it,
10 DBY And every oblation, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as the other. BSB BSB: and every grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.
The Peace Offering (Leviticus 3:1–17)
11 DBY And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace-offering, which a man shall present to Jehovah. BSB BSB: Now this is the law of the peace offering that one may present to the LORD:
12 DBY If he present it for a thanksgiving, then he shall present with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour saturated with oil, cakes mingled with oil. BSB BSB: If he offers it in thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.
13 DBY Besides the cakes, he shall present his offering of leavened bread with the sacrifice of his peace-offering of thanksgiving. BSB BSB: Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread.
14 DBY And of it he shall present one out of the whole offering as a heave-offering to Jehovah; to the priest that sprinkleth the blood of the peace-offering, to him it shall belong. BSB BSB: From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contribution to the LORD. It belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.
15 DBY And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offering of thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is presented; he shall not let any of it remain until the morning. BSB BSB: The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day he offers it; none of it may be left until morning.
16 DBY And if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or voluntary, it shall be eaten the same day that he presented his sacrifice; on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten; BSB BSB: If, however, the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, but the remainder may be eaten on the next day.
17 DBY and the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire. BSB BSB: But any meat of the sacrifice remaining until the third day must be burned up.
18 DBY And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offering be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, it shall not be reckoned to him that hath presented it; it shall be an unclean thing, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity. BSB BSB: If any of the meat from his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presented it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
19 DBY And the flesh that toucheth anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. And as to the flesh, all that are clean may eat the flesh. BSB BSB: Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for any other meat, anyone who is ceremonially clean may eat it.
20 DBY But the soul that eateth the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offering which is for Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples. BSB BSB: But if anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.
21 DBY And if any one touch anything unclean, the uncleanness of man, or unclean beast, or any unclean abomination, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offering, which is for Jehovah, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples. BSB BSB: If one touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable thing, and then eats any of the meat of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.”
Fat and Blood Forbidden 22 DBY And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses,
23 DBY Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, No fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat shall ye eat. BSB BSB: “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘You are not to eat any of the fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.
24 DBY But the fat of a dead carcase, and the fat of that which is torn, may be used in any other use; but ye shall in no wise eat it. BSB BSB: The fat of an animal found dead or mauled by wild beasts may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.
25 DBY For whoever eateth the fat of the beast of which men present an offering by fire to Jehovah, the soul that hath eaten shall be cut off from his peoples. BSB BSB: If anyone eats the fat of an animal from which a food offering may be presented to the LORD, the one who eats it must be cut off from his people.
26 DBY And no blood shall ye eat in any of your dwellings, whether it be of fowl or of cattle. BSB BSB: You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your dwellings.
27 DBY Whatever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples. BSB BSB: If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.’”
The Priests’ Portion 28 DBY And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses,
29 DBY Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that presenteth the sacrifice of his peace-offering to Jehovah shall bring his offering to Jehovah of the sacrifice of his peace-offering. BSB BSB: “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Anyone who presents a peace offering to the LORD must bring it as his sacrifice to the LORD.
30 DBY His own hands shall bring Jehovah's offerings by fire, the fat with the breast shall he bring: the breast, that it may be waved as a wave-offering before Jehovah. BSB BSB: With his own hands he is to bring the food offerings to the LORD; he shall bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the LORD.
31 DBY And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar; and the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'. BSB BSB: The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.
32 DBY And the right shoulder of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings shall ye give as a heave-offering unto the priest. BSB BSB: And you are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.
33 DBY He of the sons of Aaron that presenteth the blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part. BSB BSB: The son of Aaron who presents the blood and fat of the peace offering shall have the right thigh as a portion.
34 DBY For the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering, have I taken of the children of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons from the children of Israel by an everlasting statute. BSB BSB: I have taken from the sons of Israel the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion from the sons of Israel.’”
35 DBY This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron and of the anointing of his sons, from Jehovah's offerings by fire, in the day when he presented them to serve Jehovah as priests, BSB BSB: This is the portion of the food offerings to the LORD for Aaron and his sons since the day they were presented to serve the LORD as priests.
36 DBY which Jehovah commanded to be given them by the children of Israel in the day that he anointed them: it is an everlasting statute, throughout their generations. BSB BSB: On the day they were anointed, the LORD commanded that this be given them by the sons of Israel. It is a permanent portion for the generations to come.
37 DBY This is the law of the burnt-offering, of the oblation, and of the sin-offering, and of the trespass-offering, and of the consecration-offering, and of the sacrifice of peace-offering, BSB BSB: This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering,
38 DBY which Jehovah commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to present their offerings to Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai. BSB BSB: which the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai.
