The Guilt Offering (Leviticus 5:14–19; Leviticus 6:1–7)
1 UDB "These are the regulations concerning the offerings for when people are guilty of not giving to Yahweh the things that are required to be given to him. Those are very sacred offerings. BSB BSB: “Now this is the law of the guilt offering, which is most holy:
2 UDB A priest must slaughter each animal that people offer for this purpose in the same place where they slaughter the animals that they will completely burn. The priest must sprinkle the animal's blood on all sides of the altar. 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 UDB All their fat, the fat tails that are cut close to the backbone and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animals or that is attached to them, must be burned on the altar. BSB BSB: And all the fat from it shall be offered: the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails,
4 UDB This includes the kidneys with their fat near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver. The priest must remove all these fatty pieces. 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 UDB The priest must burn these pieces on the altar to be offerings to me, Yahweh. They are an offering for the people, for me to forgive them when they have not done what I required them to do. BSB BSB: The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.
6 UDB All the males in the priest's family are permitted to eat its meat, but it must be eaten in a place set apart for me, because it is very special to me. BSB BSB: Every male among the priests may eat of it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
7 UDB The regulation is the same for the offerings to cause people to become acceptable to me again and the offerings for when they are guilty of not giving to me the things that I required from them. The meat of those offerings belongs to the priest who offers them. 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 UDB When a priest slaughters an animal that he will completely burn on the altar, he may keep the animal's hide for himself. BSB BSB: As for the priest who presents a burnt offering for anyone, the hide of that offering belongs to him.
9 UDB Offerings of things made from flour that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or in a shallow pan belong to the priest who sacrifices those things for another person. 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 UDB And offerings of things made from flour, whether they were mixed with olive oil or not, also belong to the Aaron's descendants. 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 UDB These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people make to promise friendship with Yahweh. BSB BSB: Now this is the law of the peace offering that one may present to the LORD:
12 UDB If you bring an offering to thank Yahweh, along with the animal that you slaughter you must offer loaves of bread made with olive oil mixed with the flour but without yeast, and wafers that are made without yeast but with olive oil smeared on them, and loaves made from fine flour with olive oil mixed well with the flour. 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 UDB Along with that offering to thank Yahweh, you must bring an offering of loaves made with yeast. BSB BSB: Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread.
14 UDB You must bring one of each kind for an offering to Yahweh, but they belong to the priest who sprinkles against the altar the blood of the animal that is slaughtered as an offering to promise friendship with Yahweh. 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 UDB The meat of that offering must be eaten on the day that it is offered. None of it may be left to be eaten on the next day. 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 UDB However, if your offering is the result of a vow that you made to Yahweh, or if it is an offering that you make voluntarily, you may eat some of the meat on the day it is offered, and anything that is left may be eaten on the next day. 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 UDB But any meat that is left until the third day must be completely burned. BSB BSB: But any meat of the sacrifice remaining until the third day must be burned up.
18 UDB If any meat from the offering to promise friendship with Yahweh is eaten on the third day, Yahweh will not accept that offering. It will be useless to offer it because Yahweh will consider that it is worthless. Anyone who eats some of it will have to pay a penalty to Yahweh. 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 UDB Meat that touches something that God considers to be impure must not be eaten. It must be completely burned. But as for other meat, anyone who has performed the rituals to become acceptable to God is allowed to eat it. 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 UDB If anyone who has not performed those rituals eats some of the meat of the offering to promise friendship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people. 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 UDB If anyone touches something that God considers to be impure and very displeasing to him, whether it is from a human or from an animal, and then he eats any of the meat of the offering to promise friendship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people." 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 UDB Yahweh also said to Moses: BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses,
23 UDB "Say this to the Israelite people: 'Do not eat any of the fat of cattle or sheep or goats. 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 UDB The fat of an animal that is found dead or that has been killed by a wild animal may be used for other purposes, but you must not 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 UDB Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering has been made to Yahweh must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people. 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 UDB And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal. BSB BSB: You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your dwellings.
27 UDB If anyone eats blood, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people.'" BSB BSB: If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.’”
The Priests’ Portion 28 UDB Yahweh also said to Moses: BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses,
29 UDB "Tell the Israelite people this: 'Anyone who brings an offering to promise friendship with Yahweh must bring part of it to be a sacrifice to Yahweh. 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 UDB He himself must bring the offering that will be burned in the fire. He must bring the fat along with the breast of the animal and lift it high in front of Yahweh to present it as an offering to him. 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 UDB The priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and all his descendants. BSB BSB: The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.
32 UDB You must give to the priest the right thigh of the animal that you presented to promise friendship with Yahweh. BSB BSB: And you are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.
33 UDB The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of that sacrifice will receive the right thigh of the animal as his share. 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 UDB From the offerings that the Israelite people give to promise friendship with Yahweh, he has declared that he has given to Aaron and his descendants the breast that is lifted high and the right thigh that is offered. Those portions will always be their regular share from the Israelite people. 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 UDB Those are the portions of the offerings brought to Yahweh and burned in fire that are allotted to Aaron and his descendants on the day that you, Moses, will set apart to serve Yahweh 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 UDB Yahweh commands that on the day that the priests are appointed, that the Israelite people must always give those portions to the priests.'" 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 UDB So those are the regulations for the offerings that are to be completely burned on the altar, the offerings made from flour, the offerings to cause people to become acceptable to God again, the offerings for when people are guilty of not giving to Yahweh the things that are required to be given to him, the offerings given when the priests are appointed, and the offerings to promise friendship with Yahweh. 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 UDB They are regulations that Yahweh gave to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the Israelite people to start bringing their offerings to him, in the wilderness around 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.
