The Statutes of Burnt Offerings

1 Then ^[a](A)Yahweh called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying, ² “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When any man from among you brings an ^[b](B)offering near to Yahweh, you shall bring your ^[c]offering of animals from ^(C)the herd or the flock. ³ If his offering is a ^(D)burnt offering from the herd, he shall bring it near, a male ^(E)without blemish; he shall bring it near ^(F)to the doorway of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Yahweh. ^4 (G)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be accepted for him to make ^(H)atonement on his behalf. ^5 (I)Then he shall slaughter the ^[d]young bull before Yahweh; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall bring near ^(J)the blood and ^(K)splash the blood around on the altar that is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. ^6 (L)And he shall then skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. ^7 (M)And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. ⁸ Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, the head, and the ^(N)suet over the wood which is on the fire that is on the altar. ⁹ Its ^(O)entrails, however, and its legs he shall wash with water. And ^(P)the priest shall offer up in smoke all of it on the altar for a burnt offering, an offering by fire of ^(Q)a soothing aroma to Yahweh.

¹⁰ ‘But if his offering is from the flock, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall bring near a ^(R)male without blemish. ^11 (S)And he shall slaughter it on the side of the altar northward before Yahweh, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash its blood around on the altar. ¹² He shall then cut it into its pieces with its head and its ^(T)suet, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood which is on the fire that is on the altar. ¹³ The entrails, however, and the legs he shall wash with water. And ^(U)the priest shall bring all of it near and offer it up in smoke on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh.

¹⁴ ‘But if his offering to Yahweh is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring near his offering from the ^(V)turtledoves or from young pigeons. ¹⁵ And the priest shall bring it near to the altar and wring off its head and offer it up in smoke on the altar; and its blood is to be drained out ^(W)on the side of the altar. ¹⁶ He shall also take away its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar eastward, to the place of the ^[e](X)ashes. ¹⁷ Then he shall tear it by its wings, but ^(Y)he shall not separate it. And the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar on the wood which is on the fire; ^(Z)it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh.

The Statutes of Grain Offerings

2 ‘Now when anyone brings near a ^(AA)grain offering as an offering to Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour, and he shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it. ² He shall then bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests; and he shall take from it ^(AB)his handful of its fine flour and of its oil with all of its frankincense. And the priest shall offer it up in smoke as its ^(AC)memorial portion on the altar, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh. ^3 (AD)And the remainder of the grain offering belongs to ^(AE)Aaron and his sons: a thing most holy of the offerings to Yahweh by fire.

⁴ ‘Now when you bring near an offering of a grain offering baked in an oven, it shall be ^(AF)unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil or unleavened wafers ^[f]spread with oil. ⁵ And if your offering is a grain offering made ^(AG)on the griddle, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil; ⁶ you shall break it into bits and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. ⁷ Now if your offering is a grain offering made ^(AH)in a ^[g]pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. ⁸ And you will bring in the grain offering which is made of these things to Yahweh, and it shall be brought near to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. ⁹ The priest then shall raise up from the grain offering ^(AI)its memorial portion, and he shall offer it up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh. ^10 (AJ)And the remainder of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons: a thing most holy of the offerings to Yahweh by fire.

¹¹ ‘^(AK)No grain offering, which you bring near to Yahweh, shall be made with leaven, for you shall not offer ^[h]up in smoke any leaven or any honey as an ^(AL)offering by fire to Yahweh. ^12 (AM)As an offering of first fruits you shall bring them near to Yahweh, but they shall not ascend for a soothing aroma on the altar. ¹³ Every grain offering of yours, moreover, you shall season with salt, so that ^(AN)the salt of the covenant of your God shall not be lacking from your grain offering; with all your offerings you shall bring salt near.

¹⁴ ‘Also if you bring near a grain offering of early ripened things to Yahweh, you shall bring near ^(AO)fresh heads of grain roasted in the fire, grits of new growth, for the grain offering of your early ripened things. ¹⁵ You shall then put oil on it and place frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. ¹⁶ And the priest shall offer up in smoke ^(AP)its memorial portion, part of its grits and its oil with all its frankincense as an offering by fire to Yahweh.

The Statutes of Peace Offerings

3 ‘Now if his offering is a ^(AQ)sacrifice of peace offerings, if he is going to bring near one from the herd, whether male or female, he shall bring it near ^(AR)without blemish before Yahweh. ^2 (AS)Then he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and ^(AT)slaughter it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash the blood around on the altar. ³ From the sacrifice of the peace offerings he shall bring an offering by fire near to Yahweh, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, ⁴ and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the ^[i]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. ⁵ Then ^(AU)Aaron’s sons shall offer it up in smoke on the altar ^(AV)on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire; ^(AW)it is an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh. ⁶ But if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh is from the flock, he shall bring it near, male or female, ^(AX)without blemish. ⁷ If he is going to bring near ^(AY)a lamb for his offering, then he shall bring it near ^(AZ)before Yahweh, ⁸ and ^(BA)he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and ^(BB)slaughter it before the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons shall ^(BC)splash its blood around on the altar. ⁹ And from the ^(BD)sacrifice of peace offerings he shall bring near as an offering by fire to Yahweh its fat, ^[j]the entire fat tail which he shall remove close to the backbone, and the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, ¹⁰ and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the ^[k]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove ^(BE)with the kidneys. ¹¹ Then the priest shall offer it up in smoke ^(BF)on the altar as ^(BG)food, an offering by fire to Yahweh.

¹² ‘Moreover, if his offering is ^(BH)a goat, then he shall bring it near before Yahweh, ¹³ and he shall lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the tent of meeting, and the sons of Aaron shall splash its blood around on the altar. ¹⁴ And from it he shall bring near his offering as an offering by fire to Yahweh the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, ¹⁵ and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the ^[l]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove ^(BI)with the kidneys. ¹⁶ And the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire for a soothing aroma; ^(BJ)all fat is Yahweh’s. ¹⁷ It is a ^(BK)perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your places of habitation: you shall not eat any fat ^(BL)or any blood.’”

The Statutes of Sin Offerings

4 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a person sins ^(BM)unintentionally in any of the ^[m]things which Yahweh has ^(BN)commanded not to be done, and he does any one of them, ^3 (BO)if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him bring near to Yahweh a bull from the herd without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has ^[n]committed. ⁴ Then he shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before Yahweh, and ^(BP)he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slaughter the bull before Yahweh. ⁵ Then the ^(BQ)anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting, ⁶ and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before Yahweh in front of ^(BR)the veil of the sanctuary. ⁷ The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of ^(BS)the altar of fragrant incense which is before Yahweh in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. ^8 (BT)Then he shall raise up from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the entrails, ⁹ and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the ^[o]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove ^(BU)with the kidneys ¹⁰ (just as it is raised up from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings), and the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering. ¹¹ But ^(BV)the hide of the bull and all its flesh with its head and its legs and its entrails and its refuse, ^12 [p]that is, all the rest of the bull, he shall bring out to ^(BW)a clean place outside the camp where the ^[q]ashes are poured out, and he shall burn it on wood with fire; where the ^[r]ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

¹³ ‘^(BX)Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error, and the matter is hidden from the sight of the assembly, and they commit any of the ^[s]things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty; ^14 (BY)when the sin ^[t]which they have ^[u]committed becomes known, then the assembly shall bring near ^(BZ)a bull from the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting. ¹⁵ Then ^(CA)the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh, and the bull shall be slaughtered ^(CB)before Yahweh. ¹⁶ Then the anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting; ¹⁷ and ^(CC)the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before Yahweh in front of the veil. ¹⁸ And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of ^(CD)the altar which is before Yahweh ^[v]in the tent of meeting; and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. ^19 (CE)He shall then raise up all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar. ²⁰ He shall also do with the bull just as he did with ^(CF)the bull of the sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So ^(CG)the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven. ²¹ Then he shall bring out the bull to a place outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is ^(CH)the sin offering for the assembly.

²² ‘When ^(CI)a leader ^(CJ)sins and unintentionally does any one of all the ^[w]things which Yahweh his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty, ^23 (CK)or if his sin ^[x]which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a ^[y](CL)goat, ^(CM)a male without blemish. ²⁴ Then he shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slaughter it in the place where ^[z]they slaughter the burnt offering before Yahweh; it is a sin offering. ²⁵ Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on ^(CN)the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. ^26 (CO)And all its fat he shall offer up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Thus ^(CP)the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin, and he will be forgiven.

²⁷ ‘Now if ^[aa]anyone of ^[ab]the common people sins ^(CQ)unintentionally in doing any of the ^[ac]things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and becomes guilty, ^28 (CR)or if his sin which he has ^[ad]committed is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a ^[ae](CS)goat, a ^(CT)female without blemish, for his sin which he has ^[af]committed. ^29 (CU)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and ^(CV)slaughter the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. ³⁰ And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of ^(CW)the altar of burnt offering; and ^(CX)all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. ^31 (CY)Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar for ^(CZ)a soothing aroma to Yahweh. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, ^[ag]and he will be forgiven.

³² ‘But if he brings ^(DA)a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring it, a female without blemish. ^33 (DB)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it for a sin offering ^(DC)in the place where ^[ah]they slay the burnt offering. ³⁴ And the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of ^(DD)the altar of burnt offering, and ^(DE)all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. ³⁵ Then he shall remove ^(DF)all its fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to Yahweh. Thus ^(DG)the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin which he has ^[ai]committed, and he will be forgiven.

5 ‘Now if a person sins after he hears a ^[aj]public ^(DH)oath to testify when he is a witness, whether he has seen or otherwise known, if he does not tell it, then he will bear his ^[ak]guilt. ² Or a person who touches ^(DI)any unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean beast or the carcass of unclean cattle or a carcass of unclean swarming things—though it is hidden from him, yet he is unclean—will be guilty. ³ Or if he touches human uncleanness, of whatever sort his uncleanness may be with which he becomes unclean, and it is hidden from him, and then he comes to know it, he will be guilty. ⁴ Or if a person ^(DJ)swears thoughtlessly with his lips to do evil or to do good, in whatever matter a man may speak thoughtlessly with a sworn oath, and it is hidden from him, and then he comes to know it, he will be guilty in one of these. ⁵ So it shall be, when he becomes guilty in one of these, that he shall ^(DK)confess that in which he has sinned. ⁶ He shall also bring his guilt offering to Yahweh for his sin which he has ^[al]committed, ^(DL)a female from the flock, a lamb or a ^[am]goat, as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin.

⁷ ‘But if ^[an]he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring to Yahweh his guilt offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves or two young pigeons, ^(DM)one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. ⁸ And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall bring near first that which is for the sin offering and shall nip its head at the front of its neck, but he ^(DN)shall not separate it. ⁹ He shall also sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering ^(DO)on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood shall be drained out ^(DP)at the base of the altar: it is a sin offering. ¹⁰ The second he shall then prepare as a burnt offering ^(DQ)according to the legal judgment. ^(DR)So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has ^[ao]committed, and it will be forgiven him.

¹¹ ‘But ^(DS)if his ^[ap]means are insufficient for two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then for his offering for that which he has sinned, he shall bring the tenth of an ^[aq]ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; ^(DT)he shall not place oil on it or put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. ¹² He shall then bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as its memorial portion and offer it up in smoke on the altar, ^[ar]with the offerings of Yahweh by fire: it is a sin offering. ¹³ So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has ^[as]committed from ^(DU)one of these, and it will be forgiven him; then ^(DV)the rest shall become the priest’s, like the grain offering.’”

The Statutes of Guilt Offerings

¹⁴ Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁵ “^(DW)If a person acts unfaithfully and sins ^(DX)unintentionally against the holy things of Yahweh, then he shall bring his ^(DY)guilt offering to Yahweh: ^(DZ)a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your valuation in silver by ^[at]shekels, in terms of the ^(EA)shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt offering. ^16 (EB)And he shall make restitution for that which he has sinned against the holy thing, and he shall add to it a fifth part of it and give it to the priest. ^(EC)The priest shall then make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and it will be forgiven him.

¹⁷ “Now if a person sins and does any one of the things ^[au]which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, ^(ED)but he was unaware, still he is guilty and shall bear his punishment. ¹⁸ He is then to bring to the priest ^(EE)a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your valuation, for a guilt offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his error in which he sinned ^(EF)unintentionally and did not know it, and it will be forgiven him. ¹⁹ It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before Yahweh.”

6 ^[av]Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ² “^(EG)If a person sins and acts unfaithfully against Yahweh and deals falsely with his companion in regard to a deposit or a security entrusted to him or through robbery, or if he has extorted from his companion, ³ or ^(EH)has found what was lost and dealt falsely about it and sworn falsely, so that he sins in regard to any one of the things a man may do; ⁴ then it shall be, when he sins and becomes guilty, that he shall ^(EI)return what he took by robbery or what he got by extortion, or the deposit which was ^[aw]entrusted to him or the lost thing which he found, ⁵ or anything about which he swore falsely; ^(EJ)he shall make restitution for it ^[ax]in full and add to it one-fifth more. ^(EK)He shall give it to the one to whom it belongs on the day he presents his guilt offering. ⁶ Then he shall bring to the priest his guilt offering to Yahweh, ^(EL)a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your valuation, for a guilt offering, ⁷ and ^(EM)the priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh, and he will be forgiven for any one of the things which he may have done to incur guilt.”

Statutes for the Priest in the Offerings

^8 [ay]Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ⁹ “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is ^(EN)the law for the burnt offering: the burnt offering itself shall remain on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and ^(EO)the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. ¹⁰ And the priest shall put on ^(EP)his linen robe, and he shall put on undergarments next to his flesh; and he shall raise up the ^[az]ashes to which the fire ^[ba]reduces the burnt offering on the altar and place them beside the altar. ¹¹ Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments and carry the ^[bb]ashes outside the camp to a clean place. ¹² And 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 ^(EQ)on it. ¹³ Fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it shall not go out.

¹⁴ ‘Now this is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron shall bring it near before Yahweh in front of the altar. ^15 (ER)Then one of them shall raise up from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, ^[bc]with its oil and all the frankincense 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 Yahweh. ^16 (ES)What is left of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; they shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting. ^17 (ET)It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their share from My offerings by fire; ^(EU)it is most holy, like the sin offering and ^(EV)the guilt offering. ^18 (EW)Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it; it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations, from the offerings by fire to Yahweh. ^(EX)Whoever touches them will be set apart as holy.’”

¹⁹ Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁰ “This is the offering which Aaron and his sons shall bring near to Yahweh on the day when he is anointed; the ^[bd]tenth of an ^(EY)ephah of fine flour as ^(EZ)a ^[be]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 ^(FA)griddle. When it is well stirred, you shall bring it. You shall bring near the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to Yahweh. ²² And the anointed priest, who will be in his place ^[bf]among his sons, shall ^[bg]offer it. By a perpetual statute it shall be entirely offered up in smoke to Yahweh. ²³ So every grain offering of the priest shall be burned entirely. It shall not be eaten.”

²⁴ Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁵ “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: ^(FB)in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before Yahweh; it is most holy. ^26 (FC)The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the tent of meeting. ^27 (FD)Anyone who touches its flesh will be set apart as holy; and when any of its blood sprinkles on a garment, in a holy place you shall wash what was sprinkled on. ²⁸ Also ^(FE)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 (FF)And every male among the priests may eat of it; ^(FG)it is most holy. ³⁰ But no sin offering, ^(FH)of which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement ^(FI)in the holy place, shall be eaten; ^(FJ)it shall be burned with fire.

7 ‘Now this is the law of the ^(FK)guilt offering; it is most holy. ² In ^(FL)the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they are to slaughter the guilt offering, and he shall splash its blood around on the altar. ³ Then he shall bring near from it all its fat: the ^(FM)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 the lobe on the liver he shall remove ^(FN)with the kidneys. ⁵ And the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to Yahweh; it is a guilt offering. ^6 (FO)Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy. ⁷ The guilt offering is like the ^(FP)sin offering, there is one law for them; the ^(FQ)priest who makes atonement with it ^[bh]shall have it. ⁸ Also the priest who brings near any man’s burnt offering, ^[bi]that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has brought near. ⁹ Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in the oven and everything prepared in a ^[bj]pan or on a ^(FR)griddle ^[bk]shall belong to the priest who brings it near. ¹⁰ And every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall ^[bl]belong to all the sons of Aaron, ^[bm]to all alike.

¹¹ ‘Now this is the law of the ^(FS)sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be brought near to Yahweh. ¹² If he brings it near for ^(FT)thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall bring near ^(FU)unleavened cakes mixed with oil and unleavened wafers ^[bn]spread with oil and cakes of well stirred fine flour mixed with oil. ¹³ With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving, he shall bring near his offering with cakes of ^(FV)leavened bread. ¹⁴ Of ^[bo]this he shall bring near, one of every offering as a ^[bp]contribution to Yahweh; ^(FW)it shall ^[bq]belong to the priest who splashes the blood of the peace offerings.

¹⁵ ‘^(FX)Now as for the flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings, it shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it over until morning. ¹⁶ But if the sacrifice of his offering is a ^(FY)votive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he brings near his sacrifice, and on the ^[br]next day what is left of it may be eaten; ^17 (FZ)but what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire. ¹⁸ So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings should ever be eaten on the third day, he who brings it near will not be accepted, and it will not be counted to his benefit. It shall be an ^(GA)offensive thing, and the person who eats of it will bear his own iniquity.

¹⁹ ‘Also the flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. ^[bs]As for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh. ^20 (GB)But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to Yahweh, ^[bt]in his uncleanness, that person ^(GC)shall be cut off from his people. ^21 (GD)When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean ^[bu]detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to Yahweh, that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

²² Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²³ “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘You shall not eat ^(GE)any fat from an ox, a sheep, or a goat. ²⁴ Also the fat of an animal which dies and the fat of an animal ^(GF)torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but you must certainly not eat it. ²⁵ For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which ^[bv]an offering by fire is brought near to Yahweh, even the person who eats shall be cut off from his people. ^26 (GG)And you shall not eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your places of habitation. ²⁷ Any person who eats any blood, even that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

²⁸ Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁹ “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘He who brings ^(GH)the sacrifice of his peace offerings near to Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from the sacrifice of his peace offerings. ³⁰ His own hands are to bring offerings by fire to Yahweh. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the ^(GI)breast may be waved as a wave offering before Yahweh. ³¹ And the priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but ^(GJ)the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons. ³² And you shall give ^(GK)the right thigh to the priest as a ^[bw]contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. ³³ The one among the sons of Aaron who brings near the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, the right thigh shall be his as his portion. ³⁴ For I have taken ^(GL)the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the ^[bx]contribution from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as a perpetual statute taken from the sons of Israel.

³⁵ ‘This is ^[by]the share for Aaron and ^[bz]the ^(GM)share for his sons from the offerings by fire to Yahweh, in that day when he brought them near to minister as priests to Yahweh. ^36 [ca]These Yahweh had commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel in the day that He ^(GN)anointed them. It is a perpetual statute throughout their generations.’”

³⁷ This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering and ^(GO)the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings, ^38 (GP)which Yahweh commanded Moses at Mount Sinai in the day that He commanded the sons of Israel to bring their offerings near to Yahweh in the wilderness of Sinai.
