Leviticus 7
Legacy Standard Bible
7 ‘Now this is the law of the (A)guilt offering; it is most holy. 2 In (B)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 (C)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 (D)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 (E)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 (F)sin offering, there is one law for them; the (G)priest who makes atonement with it [a]shall have it. 8 Also the priest who brings near any man’s burnt offering, [b]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 [c]pan or on a (H)griddle [d]shall belong to the priest who brings it near. 10 And every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall [e]belong to all the sons of Aaron, [f]to all alike.
11 ‘Now this is the law of the (I)sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be brought near to Yahweh. 12 If he brings it near for (J)thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall bring near (K)unleavened cakes mixed with oil and unleavened wafers [g]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 (L)leavened bread. 14 Of [h]this he shall bring near, one of every offering as a [i]contribution to Yahweh; (M)it shall [j]belong to the priest who splashes the blood of the peace offerings.
15 ‘(N)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 (O)votive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he brings near his sacrifice, and on the [k]next day what is left of it may be eaten; 17 (P)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 (Q)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. [l]As for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh. 20 (R)But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to Yahweh, [m]in his uncleanness, that person (S)shall be cut off from his people. 21 (T)When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean [n]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 (U)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 (V)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 [o]an offering by fire is brought near to Yahweh, even the person who eats shall be cut off from his people. 26 (W)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 (X)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 (Y)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 (Z)the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons. 32 And you shall give (AA)the right thigh to the priest as a [p]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 (AB)the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the [q]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 [r]the share for Aaron and [s]the (AC)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 [t]These Yahweh had commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel in the day that He (AD)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 (AE)the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings, 38 (AF)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.

The Guilt Offering
7 “Now this is the law of the guilt[a] offering;(A) it is especially holy. 2 The guilt offering is to be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offering(B) is slaughtered, and the priest is to splatter its blood on all sides of the altar. 3 The offerer is to present all the fat from it: the fat tail,(C) the fat surrounding the entrails,[b] 4 and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver(D) with the kidneys. 5 The priest will burn them on the altar as a food offering(E) to the Lord; it is a guilt offering. 6 Any male among the priests may eat it.(F) It is to be eaten in a holy place;(G) it is especially holy.(H)
7 “The guilt offering is like the sin offering;(I) the law is the same for both. It belongs to the priest(J) who makes atonement(K) with it. 8 As for the priest who presents someone’s burnt offering, the hide of the burnt offering he has presented belongs to him; it is the priest’s. 9 Any grain offering(L) that is baked in an oven or prepared in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it; it is his. 10 But any grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all of Aaron’s sons.
The Fellowship Sacrifice
11 “Now this is the law of the fellowship sacrifice(M) that someone may present to the Lord: 12 If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice,(N) he is to present unleavened cakes(O) mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers(P) coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil. 13 He is to present as his offering cakes of leavened bread with his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship. 14 From the cakes he is to present one portion of each offering as a contribution(Q) to the Lord. It will belong to the priest who splatters the blood of the fellowship offering; it is his. 15 The meat of his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship must be eaten on the day he offers it;(R) he may not leave any of it until morning.(S)
16 “If the sacrifice he offers is a vow(T) or a freewill offering,(U) it is to be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and what is left over may be eaten on the next day. 17 But what remains of the sacrificial meat by the third day must be burned.(V) 18 If any of the meat of his fellowship sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted.(W) It will not be credited to the one who presents it; it is repulsive.(X) The person who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.[c]
19 “Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned. Everyone who is clean may eat any other meat. 20 But the one who eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from his people.(Y) 21 If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, abhorrent[d](Z) creature, and eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice, that person is to be cut off from his people.”
Fat and Blood Prohibited
22 The Lord spoke to Moses: 23 “Tell the Israelites: You are not to eat any fat(AA) of an ox, a sheep, or a goat. 24 The fat of an animal that dies naturally or is mauled by wild beasts[e](AB) may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.(AC) 25 If anyone eats animal fat from a food offering presented to the Lord, the person who eats it is to be cut off from his people. 26 Wherever you live, you must not eat the blood(AD) of any bird or animal. 27 Whoever eats any blood is to be cut off from his people.”
The Portion for the Priests
28 The Lord spoke to Moses: 29 “Tell the Israelites: The one who presents a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord is to bring an offering to the Lord from his sacrifice. 30 His own hands will bring the food offerings to the Lord. He will bring the fat together with the breast. The breast is to be presented as a presentation offering(AE) before the Lord. 31 The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. 32 You are to give the right thigh(AF) to the priest as a contribution from your fellowship sacrifices. 33 The son of Aaron who presents the blood of the fellowship offering and the fat will have the right thigh as a portion. 34 I have taken from the Israelites the breast of the presentation offering and the thigh of the contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, and have assigned them to the priest Aaron and to his sons as a permanent portion[f](AG) from the Israelites.”
35 This is the portion from the food offerings to the Lord for Aaron and his sons(AH) since the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests. 36 The Lord commanded this to be given to them by the Israelites on the day he anointed them.(AI) It is a permanent portion throughout their generations.
37 This is the law for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering,(AJ) and the fellowship sacrifice, 38 which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai(AK) on the day he commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai.(AL)
