Leviticus
7
This also is the law of the sacrifice for a trespass,
it is most holy:
Therefore where the holocaust is immolated, the victim
also for a trespass shall be slain: the blood thereof
shall be poured round about the altar.
They shall offer thereof the rump and the fat that covereth
the entrails:
The two little kidneys, and the fat which is by the
flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys.
And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is
the burnt sacrifice of the Lord for a trespass.
Every male of the priestly race, shall eat this flesh
in a holy place, because it is most holy.
As the sacrifice for sin is offered, so is also that
for a trespass: the same shall be the law of both these
sacrifices: it shall belong to the priest that offereth
it.
The priest that offereth the victim of holocaust, shall
have the skin thereof.
And every sacrifice of flour that is baked in the oven,
and whatsoever is dressed on the gridiron, or in the
fryingpan, shall be the priest's that offereth it:
Whether they be tempered with oil, or dry, all the sons
of Aaron shall have one as much as another.
This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings
that is offered to the Lord.
If the oblation be for thanksgiving, they shall offer
leaves without leaven tempered with oil, and unleavened
wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried, and
cakes tempered and mingled with oil:
Moreover leaves of leavened bread with the sacrifice
of thanks, which is offered for peace offerings:
Of which one shall be offered to the Lord for firstfruits,
and shall be the priest's that shall pour out the blood
of the victim.
And the flesh of it shall be eaten the same day, neither
shall any of it remain until the morning.
If any man by vow, or of his own accord offer a sacrifice,
it shall in like manner be eaten the same day: and if
any of it remain until the morrow, it is lawful to eat
it:
But whatsoever shall be found on the third day shall
be consumed with fire.
If any man eat of the flesh of the victim of peace offerings
on the third day, the oblation shall be of no effect,
neither shall it profit the offerer: yea rather whatsoever
soul shall defile itself with such meat, shall be guilty
of transgression.
The flesh that hath touched any unclean thing, shall
not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire: he that
is clean shall eat of it.
If any one that is defiled shall eat of the flesh of
the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to
the Lord, he shall be cut off from his people.
And he that hath touched the uncleanness of man, or
of beast, or of any thing that can defile, and shall
eat of such kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his
people.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Say to the children of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and
of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat.
The fat of a carcass that hath died of itself, and of
a beast that was caught by another beast, you shall
have for divers uses.
If any man eat the fat that should be offered for the
burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish out of
his people.
Moreover you shall not eat the blood of any creature
whatsoever, whether of birds or beasts.
Every one that eateth blood, shall perish from among
the people.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He that offereth
a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer
therewith a sacrifice also, that is, the libations thereof.
He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and
the breast: and when he hath offered and consecrated
both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,
Who shall burn the fat upon the altar, but the breast
shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
The right shoulder also of the victims of peace offerings
shall fall to the priest for firstfruits.
He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood,
and the fat, he shall have the right shoulder also for
his portion.
For the breast that is elevated and the shoulder that
is separated I have taken of the children of Israel,
from off their victims of peace offerings, and have
given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by
a law for ever, from all the people of Israel.
This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, in the
ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered
them, that they might do the office of priesthood,
And the things that the Lord commanded to be given them
by the children of Israel, by a perpetual observance
in their generations.
This is the law of holocaust, and of the sacrifice for
sin, and for trespass, and for consecration, and the
victims of peace offerings:
Which the Lord appointed to Moses in mount Sinai, when
he commanded the children of Israel, that they should
offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.
