Laws for Peace Offerings (Leviticus 7:11–21)
1 UDB When you offer to Yahweh an animal to promise friendship with him, you may bring a bull or a cow from your herd of cattle, but what you present to Yahweh must be an animal that has no defects. BSB BSB: “If one’s offering is a peace offering and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he must present it without blemish before the LORD.
2 UDB You must bring the animal to the entrance to the sacred tent. You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it and catch some of its blood in a bowl. Then one of Aaron's sons, one of the priests, will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar. BSB BSB: He is to lay his hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall splatter the blood on all sides of the altar.
3 UDB From that offering you must bring to Yahweh a sacrifice that a priest will burn in the fire. That will consist of all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, or that is attached to them— BSB BSB: From the peace offering he is to bring a food offering to the LORD: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,
4 UDB the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver. BSB BSB: both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.
5 UDB Then one of the priests will burn those things on the altar, along with the other parts of the animal that he will completely burn as an offering to Yahweh. And the good odor will be pleasing to Yahweh. BSB BSB: Then Aaron’s sons are to burn it on the altar atop the burnt offering that is on the burning wood, as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
6 UDB If that offering to promise friendship with Yahweh is a sheep or a goat, it must also be an animal that has no defects. BSB BSB: If, however, one’s peace offering to the LORD is from the flock, he must present a male or female without blemish.
7 UDB If you offer a lamb, you must present it to Yahweh at the entrance to the sacred tent. You must lay your hands on the lamb's head and then slaughter it. You must catch some of its blood in a bowl. BSB BSB: If he is presenting a lamb for his offering, he must present it before the LORD.
8 UDB Then one of the priests will sprinkle that blood against all sides of the altar. BSB BSB: He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall splatter its blood on all sides of the altar.
9 UDB From that offering you must separate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: its fat, the fat tail that you must cut off close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the lamb or which is attached to them— BSB BSB: And from the peace offering he shall bring a food offering to the LORD consisting of its fat: the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,
10 UDB the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver. BSB BSB: both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.
11 UDB One of the priests will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh. Those things will come from your food supplies. BSB BSB: Then the priest is to burn them on the altar as food, a food offering to the LORD.
12 UDB If your offering is a goat, you must take it to Yahweh. BSB BSB: If one’s offering is a goat, he is to present it before the LORD.
13 UDB You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it in front of the sacred tent. Then one of Aaron's sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar. BSB BSB: He must lay his hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall splatter its blood on all sides of the altar.
14 UDB From that offering you must separate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal or that is attached to them. BSB BSB: And from his offering he shall present a food offering to the LORD: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,
15 UDB Also separate the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver. BSB BSB: both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.
16 UDB The priest will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh. Those things will come from your food supplies. And the good odor will be pleasing to Yahweh. All the fat of the animals that are sacrificed belongs to Yahweh. BSB BSB: Then the priest is to burn the food on the altar as a food offering, a pleasing aroma. All the fat is the LORD’s.
17 UDB This is a command that must be obeyed by you and your descendants forever, wherever you live. You must not eat the fat or the blood of any animal." BSB BSB: This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.”
