Beginning

1 Now the LORD called Moses, and spoke to him out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,

² “Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, ‘If any of you offers a sacrifice to the LORD, you shall offer your sacrifice from livestock, from the herd and from the sheep.

³ ‘If his sacrifice is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male, without blemish (presenting him, of his own voluntary will, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before the LORD).

⁴ ‘And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him, to be his atonement.

⁵ ‘And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD. And the Priests, Aaron’s sons, shall offer the blood and shall sprinkle it all around, upon the altar that is by the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

⁶ ‘Then, he shall slay the Burnt Offering and cut it in pieces.

⁷ ‘So, the sons of Aaron the Priest shall put fire upon the altar and lay the wood in order, upon the fire.

⁸ ‘Then, the Priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts in order (the head and the fat) upon the wood that is in the fire which is upon the Altar.

⁹ ‘But, he shall wash its entrails and its legs in water. And the Priest shall burn all on the Altar. It is a Burnt Offering, an oblation made by fire, for a sweet savor to the LORD.

¹⁰ ‘And if his sacrifice for the Burnt Offering is from the flocks (from the sheep, or from the goats) he shall offer a male without blemish.

¹¹ ‘And he shall kill it on the north side of the Altar, before the LORD. And the Priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around upon the Altar.

¹² ‘And he shall cut it in pieces, its head and its fat. And the Priest shall lay them in order, upon the wood, in the fire which is on the Altar:

¹³ ‘But, he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. And the Priest shall offer the whole and burn it upon the Altar. It is a Burnt Offering, an oblation made by fire, for a sweet savor to the LORD.

¹⁴ And if his sacrifice is a Burnt Offering to the LORD from the birds, then shall he offer his sacrifice from the turtledoves, or from the young pigeons.

¹⁵ ‘And the Priest shall bring it to the Altar, and wring the neck of it asunder, and burn it on the Altar. And its blood shall be shed upon the side of the Altar.

¹⁶ ‘And he shall pluck out its crop with its feathers, and cast them beside the Altar, on the east part, in the place of the ashes.

¹⁷ ‘And he shall split it at its wings, but not divide it completely. And the Priest shall burn it upon the Altar upon the wood that is in the fire. It is a Burnt Offering, an oblation made by fire, for a sweet savor to the LORD.

2 ‘And when any will offer a Meat Offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil upon it and put incense on it

² ‘and shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the Priests. And he shall take his handful of the flour there, and from the oil, with all the incense. And the Priest shall burn it for a memorial upon the Altar. It is an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to the LORD.

³ ‘But the remnant of the Meat Offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is Most Holy of the LORD’s offerings made by fire.

⁴ ‘If you also bring a Meat Offering baked in the oven, it shall be an unleavened cake of fine flour mingled with oil, or an unleavened wafer anointed with oil.

⁵ ‘But if your Meat Offering is an oblation from the frying pan, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mingled with oil.

⁶ ‘And you shall divide it in pieces and pour oil on it. It is a Meat Offering.

⁷ ‘And if your Meat Offering is an oblation made in the caldron, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

⁸ ‘Afterward, you shall bring the Meat Offering that is made of these things to the LORD and shall present it to the Priest; and he shall bring it to the Altar.

⁹ ‘And the Priest shall take a memorial from the Meat Offering and shall burn it upon the Altar. It is an oblation made by fire, for a sweet savor to the LORD.

¹⁰ ‘But that which is left of the Meat Offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’, Most Holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

¹¹ ‘All the Meat Offering which you shall offer to the LORD shall be made without leaven. For you shall burn neither leaven nor honey in any offering of the LORD made by fire.

¹² ‘You shall offer the oblation of the firstfruits to the LORD, but they shall not be burnt upon the altar for a sweet savor.

¹³ ‘You shall also season all the Meat Offerings with salt. You shall not allow the salt of the Covenant of your God to be lacking from your Meat Offering. You shall offer salt upon all your oblations.

¹⁴ ‘If, then, you offer a Meat Offering of your firstfruits to the LORD, you shall offer ears of corn dried by the fire for your Meat Offering of your firstfruits, and wheat beaten out of the green ears.

¹⁵ ‘Afterward, you shall put oil upon it, and lay incense on it. It is a Meat Offering.

¹⁶ ‘And the Priest shall burn the memorial of it (of that which is beaten) and of the oil of it, with all its incense. It is an offering to the LORD made by fire.

3 ‘Also, if his oblation is a Peace Offering, if he offers from the herd (whether it is male or female), he shall offer such as is without blemish before the LORD.

² ‘And shall put his hand upon the head of his offering and kill it at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood upon the Altar, all around.

³ ¬‘So he shall offer as part of the Peace Offering (as a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD) the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is upon the entrails.

⁴ ‘He shall also take away the two kidneys, with the fat that is upon them and upon the flanks, and the lobe of the liver with the kidneys.

⁵ ‘And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the Altar (with the burnt offering which is upon the wood that is on the fire), a sacrifice made by fire for a sweet savor to the LORD.

⁶ ‘Also, if his oblation is a Peace Offering to the LORD from the flock—whether male or female—he shall offer it without blemish.

⁷ ‘If he offers a lamb for his oblation, then he shall bring it before the LORD,

⁸ ‘and lay his hand upon the head of his offering and shall kill it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood upon the Altar, all around.

⁹ ‘Afterward, from the Peace Offerings, he shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. He shall take away the fat of it, and the whole rump, close to the backbone, and the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is upon the entrails.

¹⁰ ‘Also, he shall take away the two kidneys, with the fat that is upon them, and upon the flanks, and the fatty lobe upon the liver with the kidneys.

¹¹ ‘Then the Priest shall burn it upon the Altar, the meat of an offering made by fire to the LORD.

¹² ‘Also, if his offering is a goat, then shall he offer it before the LORD,

¹³ ‘and shall put his hand upon the head of it and kill it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood upon the Altar, all around.

¹⁴ ‘Then he shall offer from it his offering—an offering made by fire to the LORD—the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is upon the entrails.

¹⁵ ‘Also, he shall take away the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and upon the flanks, and the fatty lobe upon the liver, with the kidneys.

¹⁶ ‘So the Priest shall burn them upon the Altar —the meat of an offering made by fire —for a sweet savor. All the fat is the LORD’s.

¹⁷ ‘This shall be a perpetual Ordinance for your generations, throughout all your dwellings, so that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.’”

4 Moreover, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

² “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If any shall ignorantly sin in any of the Commandments of the LORD (which ought not to be done), but shall do contrary to any of them,

³ “if the Priest who is anointed sins according to the sin of the people, then shall he offer a young bullock without blemish to the LORD for a Sin Offering, for his sin which he has sinned.

⁴ “And he shall bring the bullock to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the LORD, and shall put his hand upon the bullock’s head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.

⁵ “And the Priest who is anointed shall take of the bullock’s blood and bring it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

⁶ “Then, the Priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle from the blood seven times before the LORD, before the Veil of the Sanctuary.

⁷ “The Priest also shall put some of the blood before the LORD, upon the horns of the Altar of Sweet Incense, which is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation. Then, he shall pour all the rest of the blood of the bullock at the foot of the Altar of Burnt Offering, which is at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

⁸ “And he shall take away all the fat of the bullock for the Sin Offering, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is around the entrails.

⁹ “He shall also take away the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them and upon the flanks, and the fatty lobe upon the liver, with the kidneys,

¹⁰ “as it was taken away from the bullock of the Peace Offerings. And the Priest shall burn them upon the Altar of Burnt Offering.

¹¹ “But the skin of the bullock and all its flesh, —with its head and its legs and its entrails and its dung—

¹² “so shall he carry the whole bullock out of the camp to a clean place (where the ashes are poured) and shall burn it on the wood in the fire. It shall be burnt where the ashes are cast out.

¹³ “And if the whole Congregation of Israel shall sin through ignorance (and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the multitude) —and has done any of the Commandments of the LORD which should not be done, and has offended—

¹⁴ “when the sin which they have committed shall be known, then the Congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin and bring it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

¹⁵ “And the elders of the Congregation shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock, before the LORD. And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD.

¹⁶ “Then the Priest who is anointed shall bring the bullock’s blood into the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

¹⁷ “And the Priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, before the Veil.

¹⁸ “Also, he shall put the blood upon the horns of the Altar which is before the LORD, that is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation. Then, he shall pour all of the remaining blood at the foot of the Altar of Burnt Offering, which is at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

¹⁹ “And he shall take all its fat from it and burn it upon the Altar.

²⁰ “And the Priest shall do with his bullock as he did with the bullock for sin. So he shall do with this. So, the Priest shall make an atonement for them and it shall be forgiven them.

²¹ “For he shall carry the bullock outside the camp and burn it, as he burned the first bullock. It is an offering for the sin of the Congregation.

²² “When a ruler shall sin and do (through ignorance) any of the Commandments of the LORD his God which should not be done, and shall offend —

²³ “if one shows him his sin which he has committed —then he shall bring a male goat without blemish for his offering.

²⁴ “And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the male goat and kill it in the place where he should kill the Burnt Offering, before the LORD. It is a Sin Offering.

²⁵ “Then the Priest shall take from the blood of the sin Sin Offering with his finger and put it upon the horns of the Burnt Offering Altar. And he shall pour the rest of its blood at the foot of the Burnt Offering Altar.

²⁶ “And he shall burn all its fat upon the Altar, as the fat of the Peace Offering. So the priest shall make an atonement for him, concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

²⁷ “Likewise, if any of the people of the land shall sin (through ignorance) in doing any of the Commandments of the LORD which should not be done, and shall offend —

²⁸ “if one shows him his sin which he has committed — then he shall bring a female goat without blemish for his offering for his sin which he has committed.

²⁹ “And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the Sin Offering and kill the Sin Offering in the place of Burnt Offering.

³⁰ “Then the Priest shall take from its blood with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the Burnt Offering Altar and pour all the rest of its blood at the foot of the Altar.

³¹ “And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat of the Peace Offerings is taken away. And the Priest shall burn it upon the Altar, for a sweet savor to the LORD. And the Priest shall make an atonement for him. And it shall be forgiven him.

³² “And if he brings a lamb for his Sin Offering, he shall bring a female, without blemish

³³ “and shall lay his hand upon the head of the Sin Offering. And he shall kill it for a Sin Offering, in the place where he would kill the Burnt Offering.

³⁴ “Then the Priest shall take from the blood of the Sin Offering with his finger and put it upon the horns of the Burnt Offering Altar and shall pour all the rest of its blood at the foot of the Altar.

³⁵ “And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat of the lamb of the Peace Offerings is taken away. Then the Priest shall burn it upon the Altar, with the oblations of the LORD, made by fire. And the Priest shall make an atonement for him, concerning his sin that he has committed. And it shall be forgiven him.”
