D. Il sacrificio di riparazione
7 Questa è la legge del sacrificio di riparazione; è cosa santissima. 2 Nel luogo, dove si immola l'olocausto, si immolerà la vittima di riparazione; se ne spargerà il sangue attorno all'altare 3 e se ne offrirà tutto il grasso: la coda, il grasso che copre le viscere, 4 i due reni con il loro grasso e il grasso attorno ai lombi e al lobo del fegato che si distaccherà sopra i reni. 5 Il sacerdote brucerà tutto questo sull'altare come sacrificio consumato dal fuoco in onore del Signore. Questo è un sacrificio di riparazione. 6 Ogni maschio di famiglia sacerdotale ne potrà mangiare; lo si mangerà in luogo santo; è cosa santissima.
Diritti dei sacerdoti
7 Il sacrificio di riparazione è come il sacrificio espiatorio; la stessa legge vale per ambedue; la vittima sarà del sacerdote che avrà compiuta l'espiazione. 8 Il sacerdote, che avrà fatto l'olocausto per qualcuno, avrà per sé la pelle dell'olocausto da lui offerto. 9 Così anche ogni oblazione, cotta nel forno o preparata nella pentola o nella teglia, sarà del sacerdote che l'ha offerta. 10 Ogni oblazione impastata con olio o asciutta sarà per tutti i figli di Aronne in misura uguale.
E. Il sacrificio di comunione:
a) il sacrificio con lode
11 Questa è la legge del sacrificio di comunione, che si offrirà al Signore. 12 Se uno l'offre in ringraziamento, offrirà, con il sacrificio di comunione, focacce senza lievito intrise con olio, schiacciate senza lievito unte con olio e fior di farina cotta, in forma di focacce intrise con olio. 13 Presenterà anche, come offerta, oltre le dette focacce, focacce di pan lievitato, insieme con il sacrificio di ringraziamento. 14 Di ognuna di queste offerte una parte si presenterà come oblazione prelevata in onore del Signore; essa sarà del sacerdote che ha sparso il sangue della vittima del sacrificio di comunione. 15 La carne del sacrificio di ringraziamento dovrà mangiarsi il giorno stesso in cui esso viene offerto; non se ne lascerà nulla fino alla mattina.
b) sacrifici votivi o volontari
16 Ma se il sacrificio che uno offre è votivo o volontario, la vittima si mangerà il giorno in cui verrà offerta, il resto dovrà esser mangiato il giorno dopo; 17 ma quel che sarà rimasto della carne del sacrificio fino al terzo giorno, dovrà bruciarsi nel fuoco.
Regole generali
18 Se uno mangia la carne del sacrificio di comunione il terzo giorno, l'offerente non sarà gradito; dell'offerta non gli sarà tenuto conto; sarà un abominio; chi ne avrà mangiato subirà la pena della sua iniquità. 19 La carne che sarà stata in contatto con qualche cosa di immondo, non si potrà mangiare; sarà bruciata nel fuoco.
20 Chiunque sarà mondo potrà mangiare la carne del sacrificio di comunione; ma la persona che, immonda, mangerà la carne del sacrificio di comunione offerto al Signore sarà eliminata dal suo popolo. 21 Se uno toccherà qualsiasi cosa immonda: un'immondezza umana, un animale immondo o qualsiasi cosa abominevole, immonda, e mangerà la carne d'un sacrificio di comunione offerto al Signore, quel tale sarà eliminato dal suo popolo».
22 Il Signore disse ancora a Mosè: 23 «Parla agli Israeliti e riferisci loro: Non mangerete alcun grasso, né di bue, né di pecora, né di capra. 24 Il grasso di una bestia che è morta naturalmente o il grasso d'una bestia sbranata potrà servire per qualunque altro uso; ma non ne mangerete affatto; 25 perché chiunque mangerà il grasso di animali che si possono offrire in sacrificio consumato dal fuoco in onore del Signore, sarà eliminato dal suo popolo. 26 E non mangerete affatto sangue, né di uccelli né di animali domestici, dovunque abitiate. 27 Chiunque mangerà sangue di qualunque specie sarà eliminato dal suo popolo».
Parte dei sacerdoti
28 Il Signore aggiunse a Mosè: 29 «Parla agli Israeliti e dì loro: Chi offrirà al Signore il sacrificio di comunione porterà una offerta al Signore, prelevandola dal sacrificio di comunione. 30 Porterà con le proprie mani ciò che deve essere offerto al Signore con il fuoco: porterà il grasso insieme con il petto, il petto per presentarlo con il rito d'agitazione davanti al Signore. 31 Il sacerdote brucerà il grasso sopra l'altare; il petto sarà di Aronne e dei suoi figli. 32 Darete anche in tributo al sacerdote la coscia destra dei vostri sacrifici di comunione. 33 Essa spetterà, come sua parte, al figlio di Aronne che avrà offerto il sangue e il grasso dei sacrifici di comunione. 34 Poiché, dai sacrifici di comunione offerti dagli Israeliti, io mi riservo il petto della vittima offerta con l'agitazione di rito e la coscia della vittima offerta con l'elevazione di rito e li dò al sacerdote Aronne e ai suoi figli per legge perenne, che gli Israeliti osserveranno. 35 Questa è la parte dovuta ad Aronne e ai suoi figli, dei sacrifici bruciati in onore del Signore, dal giorno in cui eserciteranno il sacerdozio del Signore. 36 Agli Israeliti il Signore ha ordinato di dar loro questo, dal giorno della loro unzione. E' una parte che è loro dovuta per sempre, di generazione in generazione.
37 Questa è la legge per l'olocausto, l'oblazione, il sacrificio espiatorio, il sacrificio di riparazione, l'investitura e il sacrificio di comunione: legge che il Signore ha dato a Mosè sul monte Sinai, quando ordinò agli Israeliti di presentare le offerte al Signore nel deserto del Sinai».

New Catholic Bible
Chapter 7
For Guilt Offerings. 1 “ ‘This is the law for guilt offerings. It is most holy. 2 The guilt offering will be slain where the burnt offerings are slain. He is to sprinkle its blood around the altar. 3 He shall offer all of its fat: its fat tail, the fat that covers its entrails, 4 the two kidneys with their fat, the fat around the loins, and the lobe of the liver that he will detach along with the kidneys. 5 The priest shall burn all of this on the altar as a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a guilt offering. 6 All of the males of the priestly family may eat it. They shall eat it in a holy place. It is most holy. 7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering. The same law applies for both. It belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it. 8 The priest shall also have the skin of any burnt offering he makes for anyone. 9 Every cereal offering baked in an oven, or prepared on a pan or a grill, shall belong to the priest who has offered it. 10 Every cereal offering that is mixed with oil or is dry shall belong to all of the sons of Aaron, to all alike.
11 For Peace Offerings.[a]“ ‘This is the law for peace offerings that he shall offer unto the Lord. 12 If he is offering it as a sacrifice of thanksgiving, he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers with oil sprinkled on them, and fried cakes of fine flour mixed with oil together with his thanksgiving offering. 13 Besides these he shall also offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings. 14 From them he shall offer one cake as a wave offering to the Lord. It will belong to the priest who sprinkled the blood of the peace offering. 15 The meat from the thanksgiving sacrifice must be eaten on the same day that it was offered. Nothing is be left over until the morning. 16 But if the offering is a vow offering or a freewill offering, it is be eaten on the day that it was offered, and the leftovers must be eaten the next day. 17 Whatever is still left over until the third day must be burned in the fire. 18 If someone eats the meat of a peace offering on the third day, the offering shall not be pleasing. It shall be of no benefit to the person who offered it. It shall be an abomination, and whoever eats of it shall bear the guilt of his iniquity. 19 Any meat that has come into contact with something unclean is not to be eaten. It is to be burned in the fire. All who are clean may eat the meat of a peace offering, 20 but the person who is unclean and who eats the meat of the peace offering to the Lord is to be cut off[b] from his people. 21 If anyone touches anything unclean, whether it be the uncleanness of a person or an unclean animal or any abominable, unclean thing and that person then eats the meat of the sacrifice of the peace offering, he shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
22 Things Forbidden. The Lord spoke again to Moses saying, 23 “Speak to the children of Israel and tell them: do not eat the fat of an ox or a sheep or a goat. 24 The fat of an animal that dies a natural death or an animal that has been torn apart by a wild animal can be used for any function, only it is not to be eaten. 25 Whoever eats the fat of an animal that has been offered to the Lord in fire will be cut off from his people. 26 You are not to eat blood in any of your dwellings, whether it be blood from a bird or from any other animal. 27 Whoever eats any animal’s blood shall be cut off from his people.”
28 Portions for the Priests. And the Lord spoke to Moses saying, 29 “Speak to the children of Israel and tell them, ‘Whoever offers the sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord shall bring the offering of the sacrifice of the peace offering. 30 [c]He shall bring the offering to be made by fire to the Lord in his own hands. He shall bring the fat together with the breast, the breast that shall be waved before the Lord as a wave offering. 31 The priest shall burn the fat upon the altar, but the breast will be for Aaron and his sons. 32 He will also give the right shoulder of the sacrifice of his peace offering as a wave offering to the priest. 33 The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the peace offering will receive the right shoulder as his portion. 34 I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the right shoulder that is offered from the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons. This is an eternal statute for the children of Israel.
35 “ ‘This is the portion consecrated to Aaron and the portion consecrated to his sons from the offerings made by fire to the Lord. They will receive them on the day that they present them ministering unto the Lord. 36 On the day that he anointed them, the Lord commanded that the children of Israel give this to them. It is a statute from one generation to the next.’ ” 37 These are the statutes concerning the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, the sin offerings, the guilt offerings and the consecration of the sacrifice of the peace offerings. 38 The Lord gave these commands to Moses on Mount Sinai on the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations to the Lord when they were in the Desert of Sin.

Leviticus 7
King James Version
7 Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,
4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:
5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the Lord: it is a trespass offering.
6 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.
8 And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
9 And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.
10 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
11 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the Lord.
12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
14 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto the Lord, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
19 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.
20 But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the Lord, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
24 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
26 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
28 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
29 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the Lord shall bring his oblation unto the Lord of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
30 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.
31 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
32 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
34 For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.
35 This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the Lord in the priest's office;
36 Which the Lord commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.
37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
38 Which the Lord commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai.
