Sins Requiring a Guilt Offering (Leviticus 5:14–19; Leviticus 7:1–10)
1 UDB Yahweh also said to Moses, BSB BSB: And the LORD said to Moses,
2 UDB "If you sin against me by deceiving someone—if you refuse to return what someone has lent you, or if you steal something of his, BSB BSB: “If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him or stolen, or if he extorts his neighbor
3 UDB or if you find something and swear that you do not have it, you are guilty. BSB BSB: or finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that a man might commit—
4 UDB You must return to its owner what you have stolen or what someone has lent to you and you have not returned, or what you found that someone else had lost, or whatever you lied about. BSB BSB: once he has sinned and becomes guilty, he must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost property he found,
5 UDB You must not only return anything like that to its owner, but you must also pay to the owner an additional one-fifth of its value. BSB BSB: or anything else about which he has sworn falsely. He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value, and pay it to the owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.
6 UDB You must also bring to the priest a ram to be an offering to me, in order that you will no longer be guilty. The ram that you bring must be one that has no defects, one that has the value that has been officially determined. BSB BSB: Then he must bring to the priest his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock.
7 UDB Then the priest will offer that ram to be a sacrifice that will cause you to no longer be guilty, and I will forgive you for the wrong things that you did." BSB BSB: In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”
The Burnt Offering (Leviticus 1:1–17)
8 UDB Yahweh also said to Moses, BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses,
9 UDB "Tell this to Aaron and his sons: These are the regulations concerning the offerings that will be completely burned on the altar: The offering must remain on the altar all during the night, and the fire on the altar must always be kept burning. BSB BSB: “Command Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the hearth of the altar all night, until morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.
10 UDB The next morning the priest must put on his linen underclothes and linen outer clothes. Then he must remove the ashes of the offering from the fire and put them beside the altar. BSB BSB: And the priest shall put on his linen robe and linen undergarments, and he shall remove from the altar the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed and place them beside it.
11 UDB Then he must take off those clothes and put on other clothes, and take the ashes outside the camp, to a place that has been made acceptable to me. BSB BSB: Then he must take off his garments, put on other clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place.
12 UDB The fire on the altar must always be kept burning. The priest must not allow it to go out. Each morning the priest must put more firewood on the fire. Then he must arrange more offerings on the fire, and burn on the altar the fat of the offerings to be burned to promise friendship with Yahweh. BSB BSB: The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it must not be extinguished. Every morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings on it.
13 UDB The fire on the altar must be kept burning continually. The priest must not allow it to go out. BSB BSB: The fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not be extinguished.
The Grain Offering (Leviticus 2:1–16)
14 UDB These are the regulations concerning the offerings made from flour. Aaron's sons must bring them to Yahweh in front of the altar. BSB BSB: Now this is the law of the grain offering: Aaron’s sons shall present it before the LORD in front of the altar.
15 UDB The priest must take a handful of fine flour mixed with olive oil and incense and burn that on the altar. That handful will signify that the whole offering truly belongs to me. And the good odor, while the offering burns, will be pleasing to me. BSB BSB: The priest is to remove a handful of fine flour and olive oil, together with all the frankincense from the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
16 UDB Aaron and his sons may eat the remaining part of the grain offering. But they must eat it in a place that is set apart for God, in the courtyard of the sacred tent. BSB BSB: Aaron and his sons are to eat the remainder. It must be eaten without leaven in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
17 UDB It must not have yeast mixed with it. Like the offerings for sin and the offerings to cause people to no longer be guilty of sin, that offering is very special, reserved for me. BSB BSB: It must not be baked with leaven; I have assigned it as their portion of My food offerings. It is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
18 UDB Any male descendants of Aaron are permitted to eat it, because it is their permanent regular share of the offerings given to me and burned in the fire on the altar. Whoever touches them will be considered to be set apart for the honor of Yahweh." BSB BSB: Any male among the sons of Aaron may eat it. This is a permanent portion from the food offerings to the LORD for the generations to come. Anything that touches them will become holy.”
19 UDB Yahweh also said to Moses, BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses,
20 UDB "Tell Aaron and his sons that this is the offering that they must bring to me on the day that any of them is ordained: That person must bring two liters of fine flour as an offering made from grain flour. He must bring half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. BSB BSB: “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons must present to the LORD on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.
21 UDB He must mix it well with olive oil and bake it in a shallow pan. He must then break it into small pieces to be burned on the altar. And the good odor, while it burns, will be pleasing to me. BSB BSB: It shall be prepared with oil on a griddle; you are to bring it well-kneaded and present it as a grain offering broken in pieces, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
22 UDB I have commanded that the descendants of Aaron who are appointed to become the high priests after Aaron dies are the ones who must prepare those things. They must be completely burned on the altar to be sacrifices to me. BSB BSB: The priest, who is one of Aaron’s sons and will be anointed to take his place, is to prepare it. As a permanent portion for the LORD, it must be burned completely.
23 UDB Every offering that a priest gives that is made from flour must be completely burned. No one is to eat any of it." BSB BSB: Every grain offering for a priest shall be burned completely; it is not to be eaten.”
The Sin Offering (Leviticus 4:1–35; Leviticus 5:1–13)
24 UDB Yahweh also told Moses: BSB BSB: And the LORD said to Moses,
25 UDB "Tell Aaron and his sons: These are the regulations concerning the offerings for the sins of the people. The priest will kill the sacrifice at the place where the offerings are burned; it is killed before Yahweh and the offering is dedicated to Yahweh. BSB BSB: “Tell Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before the LORD; it is most holy.
26 UDB The priest who makes the offering for sin may eat the offering given to Yahweh. The priest can only eat it in the place in the courtyard that has been set apart for eating sacrifices. BSB BSB: The priest who offers it shall eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
27 UDB Any other person who touches any of its meat will belong to me. And if its blood is splattered on your clothes, you must wash the clothes in a holy place. BSB BSB: Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in a holy place.
28 UDB If the meat is cooked in a clay pot, the pot must be broken afterwards. But if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot must be scoured afterwards and rinsed with water. BSB BSB: The clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled must be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze pot, the pot must be scoured and rinsed with water.
29 UDB Any male in a priest's family may eat some of the cooked meat. That meat is very special. BSB BSB: Any male among the priests may eat it; it is most holy.
