Leviticus 7:1-21 ▼

1 |This is the regulation concerning guilt offerings. They are most holy.

2 The guilt offering is to be offered in the same place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. The priest is to sprinkle some of its blood on the altar and around it.

3 As to all its fat—that is, the fat on the tail and the fat covering the internal organs—the one presenting the sacrifice is to offer it.

4 But the two kidneys, the fat over them by the loins, and the appendage on the liver are to be taken away, along with the kidneys.

5 Then the priest is to offer them on the altar, incinerating them with fire as a guilt offering to the LORD.

6 Any male among the priests may eat it, provided that it is eaten at a sacred place as a most holy thing.

7 The law for the sin offering is the same as the guilt offering. It belongs to the priest who made atonement with it.

8 The hide from the burnt offering brought by the offeror is to belong to the priest.

9 Every grain offering that's baked in the oven and everything that's prepared in a stew pan or in the frying pan belongs to the priest who offered it.

10 Furthermore, every grain offering that's mixed with olive oil or that's dry will be for Aaron's sons, each one like the other.|

11 |This is the law concerning the sacrifice for peace offerings that are to be brought to the LORD:

12 If someone brings it to demonstrate thanksgiving, then he is to present along with the thanksgiving offering unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers spread with olive oil, and cakes of mixed fine flour with olive oil.

13 Along with the cakes of unleavened bread, he is to bring his thanksgiving offering with his peace offerings.

14 He is to present one from each grain offering, a separate offering to the LORD. It will belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.

15 As to the meat contained in his peace offerings, it is to be eaten on the day it is offered. Nothing of it is to remain until morning.|

16 |If his sacrifice accompanies a fulfilled vow or is a voluntary offering, it is to be eaten on the day the offeror brings the sacrifice. Anything left over is to be eaten the next day,

17 but whatever remains uneaten from the meat of the sacrifice by the third day is to be incinerated.

18 If any of the meat of his sacrifice of peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it won't be accepted for the one who brought it. It is to be considered as refuse, and whoever eats it will bear the punishment of his iniquity.|

19 |Meat that comes in contact with a ceremonially unclean thing is not to be eaten. Incinerate it instead. As for ceremonially clean meat, anyone who is clean may eat it.

20 But the person who eats meat from the sacrifice that belongs to the LORD, while still affected by his uncleanness, is to be eliminated from contact with his people.

21 Any person who touches a ceremonially unclean thing—whether the uncleanness pertains to human beings, animals, or to creeping things—and then eats from the meat of peace offerings that belongs to the LORD is to be eliminated from contact with his people.|
