耶和华对摩西说: “如果有人犯罪,不忠于耶和华,拒绝归还同胞委托他保管的物品或抵押品,或抢掠同胞,或欺骗同胞, 或捡到东西却矢口否认,或起假誓,或犯其他类似的罪, 他必须归还一切靠偷盗、欺诈、侵占、拾遗、 或起假誓得来的东西,他必须在献赎过祭那天如数归还物主,并加赔五分之一。 他要从羊群中选一只毫无残疾的公绵羊,或把同等价值的银子带到祭司那里,献给耶和华作赎过祭。 祭司要在耶和华面前为他赎罪,他就会得到赦免。”

祭司献燔祭的条例

耶和华对摩西说: “你要吩咐亚伦及其子孙遵行以下献燔祭的条例。

“燔祭要整夜留在祭坛上,坛上的火要不停地燃烧。 10 早晨,祭司要穿上细麻衣袍和内衣,将燔祭坛上的灰烬清理好,放在祭坛旁边。 11 然后,他要更换衣服,把灰烬拿到营外洁净的地方。 12 祭坛上的火要不断燃烧,不能熄灭。祭司每天早上要在坛上加柴,摆上燔祭,在上面烧平安祭牲的脂肪。 13 坛上的火必须不断燃烧,不可熄灭。

祭司献素祭的条例

14 “以下是献素祭的条例。

“祭司——亚伦的子孙要在祭坛前向耶和华献素祭。 15 祭司要从素祭中拿一把调油的细面粉和所有的乳香,作为象征放在坛上焚烧,作蒙耶和华悦纳的馨香之祭。 16 亚伦及其子孙要吃剩下的祭物,要在会幕院子里的圣洁之处做无酵饼吃。 17 做饼时不可加酵。这些祭物是我从献给我的火祭中赐给他们的,像赎罪祭和赎过祭一样是至圣之物。 18 亚伦的子孙中,男子都可以吃。这是他们世世代代应得之份。凡接触到这些祭物的都会变得圣洁。”

19 耶和华对摩西说: 20 “亚伦及其子孙受膏那天,要献给耶和华一公斤细面粉作为日常献的素祭,早晚各献一半。 21 要把这些细面粉调上油,用煎锅做饼,切成块献上,作为蒙耶和华悦纳的馨香之祭。 22 亚伦子孙中继任大祭司的,受膏时要献上素祭。这种祭物属于耶和华,必须全部烧掉。 23 祭司献的这种素祭不可以吃,要全部烧掉。”

祭司献赎罪祭的条例

24 耶和华对摩西说: 25 “你把以下赎罪祭的条例告诉亚伦及其子孙。

“赎罪祭是至圣的,要在杀燔祭牲的地方,在耶和华面前宰祭牲。 26 献这祭的祭司要在会幕院子里的圣洁之处吃这祭牲。 27 凡接触到这些祭肉的,都会变得圣洁。如果衣服被溅上血,则要在圣洁之处把衣服洗净。 28 用来煮祭肉的瓦锅,用后都要打碎。如果用的是铜锅,要擦干净并用水冲洗。 29 这些祭肉是至圣之物,祭司家族中的男子都可以吃。 30 如果祭牲的血被带进会幕,在圣所内进行赎罪,就不可吃祭肉,必须全部烧掉。

Laws About the Burnt Offering, the Grain Offering, and the Sin Offering

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “If a person sins and (A)commits a trespass against the Lord by (B)lying[a] to his neighbor about (C)what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or about [b]a pledge, or about a robbery, or if he has (D)extorted from his neighbor, or if he (E)has found what was lost and lies concerning it, and (F)swears falsely—in any one of these things that a man may do in which he sins: then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall [c]restore (G)what he has stolen, or the thing which he has extorted, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found, or all that about which he has sworn falsely. He shall (H)restore its full value, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to whomever it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering. And he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, (I)a ram without blemish from the flock, with your [d]valuation, as a trespass offering, to the priest. (J)So the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he shall be forgiven for any one of these things that he may have done in which he trespasses.”

The Law of the Burnt Offering

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the (K)law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 10 (L)And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen trousers he shall put on his body, and take up the ashes of the burnt offering which the fire has consumed on the altar, and he shall put them (M)beside the altar. 11 Then (N)he shall take off his garments, put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp (O)to a clean place. 12 And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it (P)the fat of the peace offerings. 13 A fire shall always be burning on the (Q)altar; it shall never go out.

The Law of the Grain Offering

14 ‘This is the law of the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall offer it on the altar before the Lord. 15 He shall take from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a sweet aroma, as a memorial to the Lord. 16 And the remainder of it Aaron and his sons shall eat; with unleavened bread it shall be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of meeting they shall eat it. 17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their [e]portion of My offerings made by fire; it is most holy, like the sin offering and the (R)trespass offering. 18 (S)All the males among the children of Aaron may eat it. (T)It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings made by fire to the Lord. (U)Everyone who touches them must be holy.’ ”

19 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 20 (V)“This is the offering of Aaron and his sons, which they shall offer to the Lord, beginning on the day when he is anointed: one-tenth of an (W)ephah of fine flour as a daily grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it at night. 21 It shall be made in a (X)pan with oil. When it is mixed, you shall bring it in. The baked pieces of the grain offering you shall offer for a [f]sweet aroma to the Lord. 22 The priest from among his sons, (Y)who is anointed in his place, shall offer it. It is a statute forever to the Lord. (Z)It shall be [g]wholly burned. 23 For every grain offering for the priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”

The Law of the Sin Offering

24 Also the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: (AA)In the place where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before the Lord. It is most holy. 26 (AB)The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of meeting. 27 (AC)Everyone who touches its flesh [h]must be holy. And when its blood is sprinkled on any garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled, in a holy place. 28 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled (AD)shall be broken. And if it is boiled in a bronze pot, it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water. 29 All the males among the priests may eat it. It is most holy. 30 (AE)But no sin offering from which any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of meeting, to make atonement in [i]the holy (AF)place, shall be (AG)eaten. It shall be (AH)burned in the fire.

Parashah 25: Tzav (Give an order) 6:1(8) – 8:36

(8) Adonai said to Moshe, (9) “Give this order to Aharon and his sons: ‘This is the law for the burnt offering [a]: it is what goes up [b] on its firewood upon the altar all night long, until morning; in this way the fire of the altar will be kept burning. (10) When the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, the cohen, having put on his linen garment and covered himself with his linen shorts, is to remove the ashes and put them beside the altar. (11) Then he is to remove those garments and put on others, before carrying the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. (12) In this way, the fire on the altar will be kept burning and not be allowed to go out. Each morning, the cohen is to kindle wood on it, arrange the burnt offering and make the fat of the peace offerings go up in smoke. (13) Fire is to be kept burning on the altar continually; it is not to go out.

(14) “‘This is the law for the grain offering: the sons of Aharon are to offer it before Adonai in front of the altar. (15) He is to take from the grain offering a handful of its fine flour, some of its olive oil and all of the frankincense which is on the grain offering; and he is to make this reminder portion of it go up in smoke on the altar as a fragrant aroma for Adonai. (16) The rest of it Aharon and his sons are to eat; it is to be eaten without leaven in a holy place — they are to eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 10 (17) It is not to be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire; like the sin offering and the guilt offering, it is especially holy. 11 (18) Every male descendant of Aharon may eat from it; it is his share of the offerings for Adonai made by fire forever through all your generations. Whatever touches those offerings will become holy.’”

(ii) 12 (19) Adonai said to Moshe, 13 (20) “This is the offering for Adonai that Aharon and his sons are to offer on the day he is anointed: two quarts of fine flour, half of it in the morning and half in the evening, as a grain offering from then on. 14 (21) It is to be well mixed with olive oil and fried on a griddle; then bring it in, break it in pieces and offer the grain offering as a fragrant aroma for Adonai. 15 (22) The anointed cohen who will take Aharon’s place from among his descendants will offer it; it is a perpetual obligation. It must be entirely made to go up in smoke for Adonai; 16 (23) every grain offering of the cohen is to be entirely made to go up in smoke — it is not to be eaten.”

17 (24) Adonai said to Moshe, 18 (25) “Tell Aharon and his sons, ‘This is the law for the sin offering: the sin offering is to be slaughtered before Adonai in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is especially holy. 19 (26) The cohen who offers it for sin is to eat it — it is to be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 20 (27) Whatever touches its flesh will become holy; if any of its blood splashes on any item of clothing, you are to wash it in a holy place. 21 (28) The clay pot in which it is cooked must be broken; if it is cooked in a bronze pot, it must be scoured and rinsed in water. 22 (29) Any male from a family of cohanim may eat the sin offering; it is especially holy. 23 (30) But no sin offering which has had any of its blood brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place is to be eaten; it is to be burned up completely.
