Leviticus 6:12-7:10

New American Standard Bible

¹² The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not go out, but the priest shall burn wood on it every morning; and he shall lay out the burnt offering on it, and offer up in smoke the fat portions of the peace offerings ^(A)on it. ¹³ Fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it is not to go out.

¹⁴ ‘Now this is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron shall present it before the Lord in front of the altar. ^15 (B)Then one of them shall lift up from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, ^[a]with its oil and all the incense that is on the grain offering, and he shall offer it up in smoke on the altar, a soothing aroma, as its memorial offering to the Lord. ¹⁶ And Aaron and his sons are to eat ^(C)what is left of it. It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. ^17 (D)It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their share from My offerings by fire; ^(E)it is most holy, like the sin offering and ^(F)the guilt offering. ^18 (G)Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it; it is a permanent ordinance throughout your generations, from the offerings by fire to the Lord. ^[b](H)Whoever touches them ^[c]will become consecrated.’”

¹⁹ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁰ “This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to present to the Lord on the day when he is anointed; the tenth of an ^[d](I)ephah of fine flour as ^(J)a ^[e]regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. ²¹ It shall be prepared with oil on a ^(K)griddle. When it is well stirred, you shall bring it. You shall present the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to the Lord. ²² The anointed priest who will be in his place ^[f]among his sons shall ^[g]offer it. By a permanent ordinance it shall be entirely offered up in smoke to the Lord. ²³ So every grain offering of the priest shall be burned entirely. It shall not be eaten.”

²⁴ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁵ “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: ^(L)in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before the Lord; it is most holy. ^26 (M)The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. ^27 (N)[h]Whoever touches its flesh ^[i]will become consecrated; and when any of its blood spatters on a garment, you shall wash what spattered on it in a holy place. ²⁸ Also ^(O)the earthenware vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken; and if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then it shall be scoured and rinsed in water. ^29 (P)Every male among the priests may eat it; ^(Q)it is most holy. ³⁰ But no sin offering ^(R)of which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement ^(S)in the Holy Place shall be eaten; ^(T)it shall be burned with fire.

The Priest’s Part in the Offerings

7 ‘Now this is the law of the ^(U)guilt offering; it is most holy. ² In ^(V)the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they are to slaughter the guilt offering, and the priest shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. ³ Then he shall offer from it all its fat: the ^(W)fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, ⁴ and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins; and he shall remove the lobe on the liver ^(X)with the kidneys. ⁵ The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the Lord; it is a guilt offering. ^6 (Y)Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy. ⁷ The guilt offering is like the ^(Z)sin offering: there is one law for them. The ^(AA)priest who makes atonement with it ^[j]shall have it. ⁸ Also the priest who presents anyone’s burnt offering, ^[k]that priest shall have for himself the hide of the burnt offering which he has presented. ⁹ Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in the oven and everything prepared in a ^[l]pan or on a ^(AB)griddle ^[m]shall belong to the priest who presents it. ¹⁰ Every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall ^[n]belong to all the sons of Aaron, ^[o]to all alike.
