The Guilt Offering (Leviticus 5:14–19; Leviticus 6:1–7)
1 WBS Likewise 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 WBS In the place where they kill the burnt-offering shall they kill the trespass-offering: and the blood of it shall he sprinkle around upon 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 WBS And he shall offer of it all its fat; the rump, 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 WBS And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, that shall he take away: 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 WBS And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD: 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 WBS Every male among the priests shall eat of it: it shall be eaten in the holy place: 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 WBS As the sin-offering is , so is the trespass-offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement with it shall have it . 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 WBS And the priest that offereth any man's burnt-offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt-offering which he hath offered. BSB BSB: As for the priest who presents a burnt offering for anyone, the hide of that offering belongs to him.
9 WBS And all the meat-offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying-pan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it. 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 WBS And every meat-offering mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another. 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 WBS And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he shall offer to the LORD. BSB BSB: Now this is the law of the peace offering that one may present to the LORD:
12 WBS If he shall offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried. 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 WBS Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering, leavened bread, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace-offerings. BSB BSB: Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread.
14 WBS And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for a heave-offering to the LORD, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace-offerings. 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 WBS And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it 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 WBS But if the sacrifice of his offering shall be a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and 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 WBS But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire. BSB BSB: But any meat of the sacrifice remaining until the third day must be burned up.
18 WBS And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings shall be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him that offereth it; it shall be an abomination, 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 WBS And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that shall be clean shall eat of 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 WBS But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings that pertain to the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his 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 WBS Moreover, the soul that shall touch any unclean thing , as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing , and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings which pertain to the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his 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 WBS And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses,
23 WBS Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. 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 WBS And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used for any other purpose; but ye shall in no wise eat of 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 WBS For whoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his 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 WBS Moreover, ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. BSB BSB: You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your dwellings.
27 WBS Whatever soul it may be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. BSB BSB: If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.’”
The Priests’ Portion 28 WBS And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses,
29 WBS Speak to the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace-offerings to the LORD, shall bring his oblation to the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings. 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 WBS His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, that shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave-offering before the LORD. 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 WBS And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but 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 WBS And the right shoulder shall ye give to the priest for a heave-offering of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings. BSB BSB: And you are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.
33 WBS He among the sons' of Aaron that offereth 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 WBS For the wave-breast and the heave-shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a statute for ever, from among the children of Israel. 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 WBS This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to the LORD in the priest's office; 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 WBS Which the LORD commanded to be given to them by the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever 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 WBS This is the law of the burnt-offering, of the meat-offering, and of the sin-offering, and of the trespass-offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the Peace-offerings; 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 WBS Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations to the LORD, 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.
