-
It is a guilt offering; they have been guilty of wrongdoing against the Lord.”
-
The Lord said to Moses:
-
“If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the Lord by deceiving a neighbor about something entrusted to them or left in their care or about something stolen, or if they cheat their neighbor,
-
And as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord, their guilt offering, a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value.
-
In this way the priest will make atonement for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”
-
The Burnt Offering
The Lord said to Moses:
-
The Grain Offering
“‘These are the regulations for the grain offering: Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the Lord, in front of the altar.
-
The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it. For all generations to come it is his perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord. Whatever touches them will become holy.’”
-
The Lord also said to Moses,
-
“This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.
-
It must be prepared with oil on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely.
-
The Sin Offering
The Lord said to Moses,
-
“Say to Aaron and his sons: ‘These are the regulations for the sin offering: The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy.
-
The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering presented to the Lord. It is a guilt offering.
-
The Fellowship Offering
“‘These are the regulations for the fellowship offering anyone may present to the Lord:
-
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.
-
But if anyone who is unclean eats any meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord, they must be cut off from their people.
-
Anyone who touches something unclean—whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean creature that moves along the ground—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
The Lord said to Moses,
-
Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which a food offering may be presented to the Lord must be cut off from their people.
-
The Priests’ Share
The Lord said to Moses,
-
“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.
-
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.
