Les lois complémentaires destinées aux prêtres

6 L’Eternel parla à Moïse en ces termes :

Sur l’holocauste

2 Transmets ces commandements à Aaron et à ses fils : Voici la loi concernant l’holocauste[a] : l’holocauste restera sur le foyer de l’autel toute la nuit jusqu’au matin et le feu y restera allumé. 3 Le matin, le prêtre mettra ses caleçons de lin et sa tunique de lin, il enlèvera les cendres grasses provenant de la combustion de l’holocauste sur l’autel et les déposera à côté de l’autel. 4 Puis il changera de vêtements[b] et emportera les cendres hors du camp dans un endroit rituellement pur. 5 Le feu devra rester allumé sur l’autel et ne jamais s’éteindre[c]. Le prêtre l’alimentera en bois tous les matins, il disposera l’holocauste dessus et y brûlera les graisses des sacrifices de communion. 6 Le feu sera perpétuellement allumé sur l’autel, il ne devra jamais s’éteindre.

Sur l’offrande

7 Voici la loi concernant l’offrande : les fils d’Aaron l’apporteront devant l’Eternel, devant l’autel. 8 L’un des prêtres prélèvera une poignée de fleur de farine de l’offrande, avec de l’huile et tout l’encens qui se trouve sur l’offrande, et il les brûlera sur l’autel pour produire une odeur apaisante et que ce soit un mémorial pour l’Eternel. 9 Ce qui restera de l’offrande sera mangé par Aaron et ses fils ; ils le mangeront sans levain dans un lieu saint, dans le parvis de la tente de la Rencontre. 10 On ne le fera pas cuire avec du levain. C’est la part que je leur ai donnée de mes offrandes consumées par le feu. C’est une chose très sainte, comme le sacrifice pour le péché et le sacrifice de réparation. 11 Tous les hommes descendants d’Aaron[d] pourront en manger. C’est la part qui leur revient pour toujours, de génération en génération, sur les offrandes consumées par le feu qui appartiennent à l’Eternel. Tous ceux qui y toucheront seront sacrés.

12 L’Eternel parla à Moïse en ces termes : 13 Voici ce qu’Aaron et ses fils offriront à l’Eternel le jour où ils recevront l’onction : trois kilogrammes de fleur de farine, à titre d’offrande permanente, la moitié le matin et l’autre moitié le soir. 14 Cette farine sera pétrie avec de l’huile et la pâte obtenue sera cuite à la poêle. Tu offriras cette galette en morceaux, produisant ainsi une odeur apaisante pour l’Eternel[e].

15 Le fils d’Aaron qui aura reçu l’onction pour lui succéder comme prêtre fera aussi cette offrande : c’est la part qui revient pour toujours à l’Eternel ; elle sera entièrement brûlée[f]. 16 Toute offrande faite par un prêtre sera entièrement brûlée : on n’en mangera rien.

Sur le sacrifice pour le péché

17 L’Eternel parla à Moïse en ces termes : 18 Dis à Aaron et à ses fils : Voici la loi concernant le sacrifice pour le péché : la victime pour ce sacrifice sera égorgée devant l’Eternel au même endroit que l’holocauste. C’est une chose très sainte.

19 Le prêtre qui officie pour ce sacrifice la mangera ; il le fera dans un lieu saint, dans le parvis de la tente de la Rencontre. 20 Quiconque entrera en contact avec la viande de ce sacrifice sera sacré. Si du sang gicle sur un vêtement, tu laveras ce qui a été taché dans un lieu saint. 21 Si on a fait cuire la viande du sacrifice dans un récipient de terre, on le brisera, si c’est dans une marmite en bronze qu’on l’a fait cuire, on la nettoiera, puis on la rincera à grande eau. 22 Tous les hommes de la famille du prêtre pourront manger de cette viande ; c’est une chose très sainte. 23 Toutefois, on ne mangera aucune viande d’un sacrifice pour le péché dont on doit porter du sang dans la tente de la Rencontre pour accomplir le rite d’expiation dans le sanctuaire. Elle sera brûlée au feu[g].

Sur le sacrifice de réparation

7 Voici la loi concernant le sacrifice de réparation. C’est une chose très sainte. 2 On égorgera la victime du sacrifice de réparation au même endroit que l’holocauste, et l’on aspergera de son sang tous les côtés de l’autel. 3 On en offrira toutes les parties grasses, c’est-à-dire la queue, la graisse qui recouvre les entrailles, 4 les deux rognons, la graisse qui les enveloppe et celle qui couvre le dos, ainsi que le dessus du foie qu’on enlèvera avec les rognons. 5 Le prêtre les brûlera sur l’autel. C’est un sacrifice de réparation consumé par le feu pour l’Eternel. 6 Tout homme faisant partie des prêtres pourra en manger ; il le consommera dans un lieu saint, car c’est une chose très sainte. 7 La même loi régit le sacrifice de réparation et le sacrifice pour le péché : la viande de la victime revient au prêtre qui fait l’expiation.

8 Quand un prêtre offre l’holocauste d’une personne, la peau de la victime qu’il a offerte lui revient.

9 Toute offrande, cuite au four, dans une marmite ou une poêle, reviendra au prêtre qui l’a offerte. 10 Par contre, toute autre offrande, pétrie à l’huile ou sans huile, appartiendra à tous les descendants d’Aaron, sans distinction.

Sur le sacrifice de communion

11 Voici la loi concernant le sacrifice de communion que l’on offre à l’Eternel. 12 Si on l’offre comme expression de sa reconnaissance, on offrira, avec ce sacrifice de reconnaissance, des gâteaux sans levain pétris à l’huile et des galettes sans levain arrosées d’huile, ainsi que des gâteaux faits de fleur de farine pétrie à l’huile[h]. 13 On présentera l’offrande sur des gâteaux de pain levé[i], pour compléter le sacrifice de communion, offert par reconnaissance. 14 On prélèvera sur chacune de ces offrandes une portion pour l’offrir à l’Eternel ; celle-ci reviendra au prêtre qui aura fait l’aspersion du sang pour le sacrifice de communion. 15 La viande du sacrifice de communion, offert par reconnaissance, sera mangée le jour où on l’offre. On n’en laissera rien jusqu’au lendemain matin.

16 Si le sacrifice de communion est offert pour accomplir un vœu ou comme don volontaire, une partie de la viande de la victime sera mangée le jour où on l’offre, mais le reste pourra être mangé le lendemain. 17 Ce qui restera de la viande du sacrifice le surlendemain sera brûlé. 18 Si l’on en mange le surlendemain, celui qui a offert le sacrifice ne sera pas agréé, son sacrifice ne compte pas. Car cette viande est devenue impure, et celui qui en mange se rend coupable d’une faute.

19 Si la viande est entrée en contact avec une personne ou un objet rituellement impur, on ne la mangera pas : il faudra la brûler.

Toute personne rituellement pure[j] pourra manger de la viande du sacrifice de communion, 20 mais si quelqu’un mange de la viande du sacrifice de communion qui appartient à l’Eternel, alors qu’il se trouve en état d’impureté rituelle[k], il sera retranché de son peuple. 21 De même, si quelqu’un mange de la viande du sacrifice de communion qui appartient à l’Eternel, après avoir touché quoi que ce soit de rituellement impur – impureté d’homme, animal impur ou quelque autre impureté abominable – il sera retranché de son peuple.

22 L’Eternel parla à Moïse en ces termes : 23 Dis aux Israélites : Vous ne mangerez pas de graisse de bœuf, de mouton, ni de chèvre. 24 La graisse d’une bête crevée ou déchiquetée par un fauve pourra servir à d’autres usages, mais vous ne devez pas en manger. 25 En effet, celui qui mange de la graisse des animaux qu’on offre à l’Eternel en la consumant par le feu sera retranché de son peuple. 26 Nulle part où vous habiterez, vous ne consommerez de sang, que ce soit celui d’un oiseau ou d’un quadrupède. 27 Si une personne consomme du sang, quel qu’il soit, elle sera retranchée de son peuple[l].

28 L’Eternel parla à Moïse en ces termes : 29 Dis aux Israélites : Celui qui offre à l’Eternel un sacrifice de communion en apportera la part qu’il donne à l’Eternel. 30 Il l’apportera de ses propres mains pour qu’elle soit consumée par le feu pour l’Eternel. Il apportera la graisse avec la poitrine de l’animal et il fera avec la poitrine le geste de présentation devant l’Eternel. 31 Le prêtre brûlera la graisse sur l’autel ; quant à la poitrine, elle reviendra à Aaron et à ses fils. 32 Vous donnerez aussi comme offrande au prêtre le gigot droit de vos sacrifices de communion. 33 Celui des fils d’Aaron qui offrira le sang et les parties grasses des sacrifices de communion aura ainsi comme part le gigot droit. 34 Car je reçois des Israélites la poitrine pour laquelle on fait le geste de présentation et le gigot que l’on prélève sur les sacrifices de communion, et je les donne au prêtre Aaron et à ses descendants ; c’est une prescription qui restera en vigueur à perpétuité pour les Israélites.

35 C’est la part qui revient à Aaron et à ses descendants sur les sacrifices consumés par le feu qui appartiennent à l’Eternel, à partir du jour où ils seront installés dans leur fonction de prêtre pour l’Eternel. 36 C’est là ce que l’Eternel ordonna aux Israélites de donner aux prêtres à partir du jour où ceux-ci reçoivent l’onction. C’est une règle en vigueur à perpétuité, pour toutes les générations.

Conclusion

37 Telles sont les lois concernant l’holocauste, l’offrande, le sacrifice pour le péché, le sacrifice de réparation, celui qu’on offre à l’occasion d’une investiture et le sacrifice de communion. 38 L’Eternel les a données à Moïse au mont Sinaï, le jour où il commanda aux Israélites de lui offrir leurs sacrifices et leurs offrandes dans le désert du Sinaï.

Leviticus 6-7
Good News Translation

6 (A)The Lord gave the following regulations to Moses. 2 An offering is to be made if any of you sin against the Lord by refusing to return what another Israelite has left as a deposit or by stealing something from him or by cheating him 3 or by lying about something that has been lost and swearing that you did not find it. 4-5 When you sin in any of these ways, you must repay whatever you got by dishonest means. On the day you are found guilty, you must repay the owner in full, plus an additional 20 percent. 6 You shall bring to the priest as your repayment offering to the Lord a male sheep or goat without any defects. Its value is to be determined according to the official standard. 7 The priest shall offer the sacrifice for your sin, and you will be forgiven.

Sacrifices Burned Whole

8 The Lord commanded Moses 9 to give Aaron and his sons the following regulations for burnt offerings. A burnt offering is to be left on the altar all night long, and the fire is to be kept burning. 10 Then the priest, wearing his linen robe and linen shorts, shall remove the greasy ashes left on the altar and put them at the side of the altar. 11 Then he shall change his clothes and take the ashes outside the camp to a ritually clean place. 12 The fire on the altar must be kept burning and never allowed to go out. Every morning the priest shall put firewood on it, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat of the fellowship offering. 13 The fire must always be kept burning on the altar and never allowed to go out.

Grain Offerings

14 The following are the regulations for grain offerings. An Aaronite priest shall present the grain offering to the Lord in front of the altar. 15 Then he shall take a handful of the flour and oil, and the incense on it, and burn it on the altar as a token that all of it has been offered to the Lord. The odor of this offering is pleasing to the Lord. 16-17 The priests shall eat the rest of it. It shall be made into bread baked without yeast and eaten in a holy place, the courtyard of the Tent of the Lord's presence. The Lord has given it to the priests as their part of the food offerings. It is very holy, like the sin offerings and the repayment offerings. 18 For all time to come any of the male descendants of Aaron may eat it as their continuing share of the food offered to the Lord. Anyone else who touches a food offering will be harmed by the power of its holiness.

19 The Lord gave Moses the following regulations 20 for the ordination of an Aaronite priest. On the day he is ordained, he shall present as an offering to the Lord two pounds of flour (the same amount as the daily grain offering), half in the morning and half in the evening. 21 It is to be mixed with oil and cooked on a griddle and then crumbled and presented as a grain offering, an odor pleasing to the Lord. 22 For all time to come this offering is to be made by every descendant of Aaron who is serving as High Priest. It shall be completely burned as a sacrifice to the Lord. 23 No part of a grain offering that a priest makes may be eaten; all of it must be burned.

Sin Offerings

24 The Lord commanded Moses 25 to give Aaron and his sons the following regulations for sin offerings. The animal for a sin offering shall be killed on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed. This is a very holy offering. 26 The priest who sacrifices the animal shall eat it in a holy place, the courtyard of the Tent of the Lord's presence. 27 Anyone or anything that touches the flesh of the animal will be harmed by the power of its holiness. If any article of clothing is spattered with the animal's blood, it must be washed in a holy place. 28 Any clay pot in which the meat is boiled must be broken, and if a metal pot is used, it must be scrubbed and rinsed with water. 29 Any male of the priestly families may eat this offering; it is very holy. 30 But if any of the blood is brought into the Tent and used in the ritual to take away sin, the animal must not be eaten; it must be burned.

Repayment Offerings

7 The following are the regulations for repayment offerings, which are very holy. 2 The animal for this offering is to be killed on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed, and its blood is to be thrown against all four sides of the altar. 3 All of its fat shall be removed and offered on the altar: the fat tail, the fat covering the internal organs, 4 the kidneys and the fat on them, and the best part of the liver. 5 The priest shall burn all the fat on the altar as a food offering to the Lord. It is a repayment offering. 6 Any male of the priestly families may eat it, but it must be eaten in a holy place, because it is very holy.

7 There is one regulation that applies to both the sin offering and the repayment offering: the meat belongs to the priest who offers the sacrifice. 8 The skin of an animal offered as a burnt offering belongs to the priest who offers the sacrifice. 9 Every grain offering that has been baked in an oven or prepared in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who has offered it to God. 10 But all uncooked grain offerings, whether mixed with oil or dry, belong to all the Aaronite priests and must be shared equally among them.

Fellowship Offerings

11 The following are the regulations for the fellowship offerings presented to the Lord. 12 If you make this offering as a thanksgiving offering to God, you shall present, together with the animal to be sacrificed, an offering of bread made without yeast: either thick loaves made of flour mixed with olive oil or thin cakes brushed with olive oil or cakes made of flour mixed with olive oil. 13 In addition, you shall offer loaves of bread baked with yeast. 14 You shall present one part of each kind of bread as a special contribution to the Lord; it belongs to the priest who takes the blood of the animal and throws it against the altar. 15 The flesh of the animal must be eaten on the day it is sacrificed; none of it may be left until the next morning.

16 If you bring a fellowship offering as fulfillment of a vow or as your own freewill offering, not all of it has to be eaten on the day it is offered, but any that is left over may be eaten on the following day. 17 Any meat that still remains on the third day must be burned. 18 If any of it is eaten on the third day, God will not accept your offering. The offering will not be counted to your credit but will be considered unclean, and whoever eats it will suffer the consequences. 19 If the meat comes into contact with anything ritually unclean, it must not be eaten, but must be burned.

Any of you that are ritually clean may eat the meat, 20 but if any of you who are not clean eat it, you shall no longer be considered one of God's people. 21 Also, if you eat the meat of this offering after you have touched anything ritually unclean, whether from a person or an animal, you shall no longer be considered one of God's people.

22 The Lord gave Moses the following regulations 23 for the people of Israel. No fat of cattle, sheep, or goats shall be eaten. 24 The fat of an animal that has died a natural death or has been killed by a wild animal must not be eaten, but it may be used for any other purpose. 25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal that may be offered as a food offering to the Lord will no longer be considered one of God's people. 26 (B)No matter where the Israelites live, they must never use the blood of birds or animals for food. 27 Anyone who breaks this law will no longer be considered one of God's people.

28 The Lord gave Moses the following regulations 29 for the people of Israel. When any of you offer a fellowship offering you must bring part of it as a special gift to the Lord, 30 bringing it with your own hands as a food offering. You shall bring the fat of the animal with its breast and present it as a special gift to the Lord. 31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall belong to the priests. 32 The right hind leg of the animal shall be given as a special contribution 33 to the priest who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering. 34 The breast of the animal is a special gift, and the right hind leg is a special contribution that the Lord has taken from the people of Israel and given to the priests. This is what the people of Israel must give to the priests for all time to come. 35 This is the part of the food offered to the Lord that was given to Aaron and his sons on the day they were ordained as priests. 36 On that day the Lord commanded the people of Israel to give them this part of the offering. It is a regulation that the people of Israel must obey for all time to come.

37 These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, the sin offerings, the repayment offerings, the ordination offerings, and the fellowship offerings. 38 There on Mount Sinai in the desert, the Lord gave these commands to Moses on the day he told the people of Israel to make their offerings.

Leviticus 6-7
New International Version

6 [a]The Lord said to Moses: 2 “If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the Lord(A) by deceiving a neighbor(B) about something entrusted to them or left in their care(C) or about something stolen, or if they cheat(D) their neighbor, 3 or if they find lost property and lie about it,(E) or if they swear falsely(F) about any such sin that people may commit— 4 when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return(G) what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found, 5 or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution(H) in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering.(I) 6 And as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord, their guilt offering,(J) a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value.(K) 7 In this way the priest will make atonement(L) for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”

The Burnt Offering

8 The Lord said to Moses: 9 “Give Aaron and his sons this command: ‘These are the regulations for the burnt offering(M): The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.(N) 10 The priest shall then put on his linen clothes,(O) with linen undergarments next to his body,(P) and shall remove the ashes(Q) of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar. 11 Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.(R) 12 The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood(S) and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat(T) of the fellowship offerings(U) on it. 13 The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.

The Grain Offering

14 “‘These are the regulations for the grain offering:(V) Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the Lord, in front of the altar. 15 The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense(W) on the grain offering,(X) and burn the memorial[b] portion(Y) on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 16 Aaron and his sons(Z) shall eat the rest(AA) of it, but it is to be eaten without yeast(AB) in the sanctuary area;(AC) they are to eat it in the courtyard(AD) of the tent of meeting.(AE) 17 It must not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share(AF) of the food offerings presented to me.(AG) Like the sin offering[c] and the guilt offering, it is most holy.(AH) 18 Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it.(AI) For all generations to come(AJ) it is his perpetual share(AK) of the food offerings presented to the Lord. Whatever touches them will become holy.[d](AL)’”

19 The Lord also said to Moses, 20 “This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he[e] is anointed:(AM) a tenth of an ephah[f](AN) of the finest flour(AO) as a regular grain offering,(AP) half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21 It must be prepared with oil on a griddle;(AQ) bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken[g] in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 22 The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest(AR) shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely.(AS) 23 Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”

The Sin Offering

24 The Lord said to Moses, 25 “Say to Aaron and his sons: ‘These are the regulations for the sin offering:(AT) The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord(AU) in the place(AV) the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. 26 The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area,(AW) in the courtyard(AX) of the tent of meeting.(AY) 27 Whatever touches any of the flesh will become holy,(AZ) and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in the sanctuary area. 28 The clay pot(BA) the meat is cooked in must be broken; but if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot is to be scoured and rinsed with water. 29 Any male in a priest’s family may eat it;(BB) it is most holy.(BC) 30 But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement(BD) in the Holy Place(BE) must not be eaten; it must be burned up.(BF)

The Guilt Offering

7 “‘These are the regulations for the guilt offering,(BG) which is most holy: 2 The guilt offering is to be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and its blood is to be splashed against the sides of the altar. 3 All its fat(BH) shall be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the internal organs, 4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.(BI) 5 The priest shall burn them on the altar(BJ) as a food offering presented to the Lord. It is a guilt offering. 6 Any male in a priest’s family may eat it,(BK) but it must be eaten in the sanctuary area; it is most holy.(BL)

7 “‘The same law applies to both the sin offering[h](BM) and the guilt offering:(BN) They belong to the priest(BO) who makes atonement with them.(BP) 8 The priest who offers a burnt offering for anyone may keep its hide(BQ) for himself. 9 Every grain offering baked in an oven(BR) or cooked in a pan(BS) or on a griddle(BT) belongs to the priest who offers it, 10 and every grain offering, whether mixed with olive oil or dry, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.

The Fellowship Offering

11 “‘These are the regulations for the fellowship offering anyone may present to the Lord:

12 “‘If they offer it as an expression of thankfulness, then along with this thank offering(BU) they are to offer thick loaves(BV) made without yeast(BW) and with olive oil mixed in, thin loaves(BX) made without yeast and brushed with oil,(BY) and thick loaves of the finest flour well-kneaded and with oil mixed in. 13 Along with their fellowship offering of thanksgiving(BZ) they are to present an offering with thick loaves of bread made with yeast.(CA) 14 They are to bring one of each kind as an offering, a contribution to the Lord; it belongs to the priest who splashes the blood of the fellowship offering against the altar. 15 The meat of their fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; they must leave none of it till morning.(CB)

16 “‘If, however, their offering is the result of a vow(CC) or is a freewill offering,(CD) the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day they offer it, but anything left over may be eaten on the next day.(CE) 17 Any meat of the sacrifice left over till the third day must be burned up.(CF) 18 If any meat of the fellowship offering(CG) is eaten on the third day, the one who offered it will not be accepted.(CH) It will not be reckoned(CI) to their credit, for it has become impure; the person who eats any of it will be held responsible.(CJ)

19 “‘Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned up. As for other meat, anyone ceremonially clean may eat it. 20 But if anyone who is unclean(CK) eats any meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord, they must be cut off from their people.(CL) 21 Anyone who touches something unclean(CM)—whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean creature that moves along the ground[i]—and then eats any of the meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord must be cut off from their people.’”

Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden

22 The Lord said to Moses, 23 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats.(CN) 24 The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals(CO) may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it. 25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which a food offering may be[j] presented to the Lord must be cut off from their people. 26 And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood(CP) of any bird or animal. 27 Anyone who eats blood(CQ) must be cut off from their people.’”

The Priests’ Share

28 The Lord said to Moses, 29 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who brings a fellowship offering to the Lord is to bring part of it as their sacrifice to the Lord. 30 With their own hands they are to present the food offering to the Lord; they are to bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast before the Lord as a wave offering.(CR) 31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar,(CS) but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.(CT) 32 You are to give the right thigh of your fellowship offerings to the priest as a contribution.(CU) 33 The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering shall have the right thigh as his share. 34 From the fellowship offerings of the Israelites, I have taken the breast that is waved and the thigh(CV) that is presented and have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons(CW) as their perpetual share from the Israelites.’”

35 This is the portion of the food offerings presented to the Lord that were allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests. 36 On the day they were anointed,(CX) the Lord commanded that the Israelites give this to them as their perpetual share for the generations to come.

37 These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offering,(CY) the grain offering,(CZ) the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering(DA) and the fellowship offering, 38 which the Lord gave Moses(DB) at Mount Sinai(DC) in the Desert of Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelites to bring their offerings to the Lord.(DD)
