[a]Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, (A)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, or (B)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; then it shall be, when he sins and becomes guilty, that he shall (C)return what he took by robbery or what he got by extortion, or the deposit which was [b]entrusted to him or the lost thing which he found, or anything about which he swore falsely; (D)he shall make restitution for it [c]in full and add to it one-fifth more. (E)He shall give it to the one to whom it belongs on the day he presents his guilt offering. Then he shall bring to the priest his guilt offering to Yahweh, (F)a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your valuation, for a guilt offering, and (G)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

[d]Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is (H)the law for the burnt offering: the burnt offering itself shall remain on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and (I)the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. 10 And the priest shall put on (J)his linen robe, and he shall put on undergarments next to his flesh; and he shall raise up the [e]ashes to which the fire [f]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 [g]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 (K)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 (L)Then one of them shall raise up from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, [h]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 (M)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 (N)It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their share from My offerings by fire; (O)it is most holy, like the sin offering and (P)the guilt offering. 18 (Q)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. (R)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 [i]tenth of an (S)ephah of fine flour as (T)a [j]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 (U)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 [k]among his sons, shall [l]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: (V)in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before Yahweh; it is most holy. 26 (W)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 (X)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 (Y)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 (Z)And every male among the priests may eat of it; (AA)it is most holy. 30 But no sin offering, (AB)of which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement (AC)in the holy place, shall be eaten; (AD)it shall be burned with fire.

Additional Laws for Burnt Offerings

[a] Then[b] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “When a person[c] displays infidelity[d] against Yahweh and he deceives his fellow citizen regarding[e] something entrusted or a pledge[f] or stealing or he exploits his fellow citizen, or he finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely[g] in regard to[h] any one of these things by which a person[i] might commit sin, and when[j] he sins and is guilty, then[k] he shall bring back the things he had stolen[l] or what he had extorted[m] or something with which he had been entrusted[n] or the lost property that he had found, or regarding[o] anything about which he has sworn falsely,[p] then[q] he shall repay it according to[r] its value and shall add one-fifth of its value to it—he must give it to whom it belongs[s] on the day of his guilt offering. And he must bring as his guilt offering to Yahweh a ram without defect from the flock[t] by your valuation[u] as a guilt offering to the priest, and the priest shall make atonement for him before[v] Yahweh, and he shall be forgiven anything[w] from all that he might do by which he might incur guilt.”[x]

Then[y] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the regulation of the burnt offering: The burnt offering must remain on the hearth[z] on the altar all night until the morning, and the altar’s fire must be kept burning on it. 10 And the priest shall put on his linen robe, and he must put his linen undergarments on his body, and he shall take away the fatty ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar, and he shall place them[aa] beside the altar. 11 And he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and he shall bring out the fatty ashes outside the camp[ab] to a ceremonially clean place, 12 but[ac] the fire on the altar must be kept burning on it; it must not be quenched. And the priest must burn wood every morning[ad] on it,[ae] and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it,[af] and he shall turn into smoke the fat portions of the fellowship offerings on it.[ag] 13 A perpetual fire must be kept burning on the altar; it must not be quenched.

Additional Laws for Grain Offerings

14 “‘And this is the regulation of the grain offering. Aaron’s sons shall present it before[ah] Yahweh in front of[ai] the altar, 15 and he[aj] in his fist shall take away from it some of[ak] the grain offering’s finely milled flour, and some of[al] its oil and all of the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and he shall turn into smoke its token portion on the altar as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh. 16 And Aaron and his sons must eat the remainder of it; they must eat it as unleavened bread in a holy place—in the tent of assembly’s courtyard they must eat it. 17 It must not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their share from my offerings made by fire. It is a most holy thing,[am] like the sin offering and like the guilt offering. 18 Every male among Aaron’s sons may eat it as a lasting rule among your generations from the offerings made by fire belonging to[an] Yahweh. Anything that[ao] touches them will become holy.’”

19 Then[ap] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 20 “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons that they shall present to Yahweh on the day of his being anointed: a tenth of an[aq] ephah of finely milled flour as a perpetual grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 21 It must be made[ar] in[as] oil on a flat baking pan; you[at] must bring it well-mixed; you must present pieces of a grain offering’s baked goods[au] as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh. 22 And the anointed priest taking his place from among his sons must do it. As a lasting rule, it must be turned into smoke totally for Yahweh. 23 And every grain offering of a priest must be a whole burnt offering; it must not be eaten.”

Additional Laws for Sin Offerings

24 Then[av] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 25 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the regulation of the sin offering: In the place where the sin offering is slaughtered, the sin offering must be slaughtered before[aw] Yahweh; it is a most holy thing.[ax] 26 The priest who offers the sin offering[ay] must eat it in a holy place—in the tent of assembly’s courtyard. 27 Anything that[az] touches its flesh will become holy, and when some of[ba] its blood spatters on a[bb] garment, what was spattered on it you[bc] shall wash in a holy place. 28 And a clay vessel in which it was boiled must be broken, but[bd] if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then[be] it shall be thoroughly scoured and rinsed with water. 29 Any male among the priests may eat it; it is a most holy thing.[bf] 30 But[bg] any sin offering from which some of[bh] its blood is brought to the tent of assembly to make atonement in the sanctuary must not be eaten; it must be burned in the fire.’”
