Leviticus
6
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Whosoever shall sin, and despising the Lord, shall deny
to his neighbour the thing delivered to his keeping,
which was committed to his trust; or shall by force
extort any thing, or commit oppression;
Or shall find a thing lost, and denying it, shall also
swear falsely, or shall do any other of the many things,
wherein men are wont to sin:
Being convicted of the offence, he shall restore
All that he would have gotten by fraud, in the principal,
and the fifth part besides to the owner, whom he wronged.
Moreover for his sin he shall offer a ram without blemish
out of the flock, and shall give it to the priest, according
to the estimation and measure of the offence:
And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and he shall
have forgiveness for every thing in doing of which he
hath sinned.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of a holocaust:
It shall be burnt upon the altar, all night until morning:
the fire shall be of the same altar.
The priest shall be vested with the tunick and the linen
breeches, and he shall take up the ashes of that which
the devouring fire hath burnt, and putting them beside
the altar,
Shall put off his former vestments, and being clothed
with others, shall carry them forth without the camp,
and shall cause them to be consumed to dust in a very
clean place,
And the fire on the altar shall always burn, and the
priest shall feed it, putting wood on it every day in
the morning, and laying on the holocaust, shall burn
thereupon the fat of the peace offerings.
This is the perpetual fire which shall never go out
on the altar.
This is the law of the sacrifice and libations, which
the children of Aaron shall offer before the Lord, and
before the altar.
The priest shall take a handful of the flour that is
tempered with oil, and all the frankincense that is
put upon the flour: and he shall burn it on the altar
for a memorial of most sweet odour to the Lord:
And the part of the flour that is left, Aaron and his
sons shall eat, without leaven: and he shall eat it
in the holy place of the court of the tabernacle.
And therefore it shall not be leavened, because part
thereof is offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord.
It shall be most holy, as that which is offered for
sin and for trespass.
The males only of the race of Aaron shall eat it. It
shall be an ordinance everlasting in your generations
concerning the sacrifices of the Lord: Every one that
toucheth them shall be sanctified.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
This is the oblation of Aaron, and of his sons, which
they must offer to the Lord, in the day of their anointing:
They shall offer the tenth part of an ephi of flour
for a perpetual sacrifice, half of it in the morning,
and half of it in the evening:
It shall be tempered with oil, and shall be fried in
a fryingpan.
And the priest that rightfully succeedeth his father,
shall offer it hot, for a most sweet odour to the Lord,
and it shall be wholly burnt on the altar.
For every sacrifice of the priest shall be consumed
with fire, neither shall any man eat thereof.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Say to Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the victim
for sin: in the place where the holocaust is offered,
it shall be immolated before the Lord. It is holy of
holies.
The priest that offereth it, shall eat it in a holy
place, in the court of the tabernacle.
Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof, shall be sanctified.
If a garment be sprinkled with the blood thereof, it
shall be washed in a holy place.
And the earthen vessel, wherein it was sodden, shall
be broken, but if the vessel be of brass, it shall be
scoured, and washed with water.
Every male of the priestly race shall eat of the flesh
thereof, because it is holy of holies.
For the victim that is slain for sin, the blood of which
is carried into the tabernacle of the testimony to make
atonement in the sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but
shall be burnt with fire.
