Chronological
5 1 Of him that testifieth the truth. 4 Of him that voweth rashly. 15 Of him that by ignorance withdraweth anything dedicated to the Lord.
1 Also if [a]any have sinned, that is, [b]if he have heard the voice of an oath, and he can be a witness, whether he hath seen or [c]known of it, if he do not utter it, he shall bear his iniquity:
2 Either if one touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carrion of an unclean beast, or a carrion of unclean cattle, or a carrion of unclean creeping things, and is not ware of it, yet he is unclean, and hath offended:
3 Either if he touch any uncleanness of man (whatsoever uncleanness it be, that he is defiled with) and is not ware of it, and after cometh to the knowledge of it, he hath sinned:
4 Either if any [d]swear and pronounce with his lips to do evil, or to do good (whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath) and it be hid from him, and after knoweth that he hath offended in one of these points,
5 When he hath sinned in any of these [e]things, then he shall confess that he hath sinned therein.
6 Therefore shall he bring his trespass offering unto the Lord for his sin which he hath committed, even a female from the flock, be it a lamb or a she goat for a sin offering, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 But [f]if he be not able to bring a sheep, he shall bring for his trespass which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons unto the Lord, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8 So he shall bring them unto the Priest, who shall offer the sin offering first, and (A)wring the neck of it asunder, but not pluck it clean off.
9 After he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be [g]shed at the foot of the altar: for it is a sin offering.
10 Also he shall offer the second for a burnt offering [h]as the manner is: so shall the Priest [i]make an atonement for him (for his sin which he hath committed) and it shall be forgiven him.
11 ¶ But if he (B)be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that hath sinned, shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an [j]Ephah of fine flour for a sin offering, he shall put none [k]oil thereto, neither put any incense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
12 Then shall he bring it to the Priest, and the Priest shall take his handful of it for the (C)remembrance thereof, and burn it upon the altar (D)with the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for it is a sin offering.
13 So the Priest shall make an atonement for him, as touching his sin, that he hath committed in one of these points, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the Priest’s, as the meat offering.
14 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
15 If any person transgress and sin through ignorance [l]by taking away things consecrated unto the Lord, he shall then bring for his trespass offering unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flock, worth two shekels of silver [m]by thy estimation after the shekel of the Sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
16 So he shall restore that wherein he hath offended, in taking away of the holy thing, and shall put the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto the Priest: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
17 ¶ Also if any sin and (E)do against any of the Commandments of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and know not, and [n]sin and bear his iniquity,
18 Then shall he bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, in thy estimation worth (F)two shekels for a trespass offering unto the Priest: and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his [o]ignorance wherein he erred, and was not ware: so it shall be forgiven him.
19 This is the trespass offering for the trespass committed against the Lord.
6 6 The offering for sins which are done willingly. 9 The law of the burnt offerings. 13 The fire must abide evermore upon the altar. 14 The law of the meat offering. 20 The offerings of Aaron, and his sons.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 If any sin and commit a trespass against the Lord, and deny unto his neighbor that which was taken him to keep, or that which was put to him[p]of trust, or doth by [q]robbery, or by violence oppress his neighbor,
3 Or hath found that which was lost, and denieth it, and sweareth falsely, (G)for any of these things that a man doeth, wherein he [r]sinneth:
4 When, I say, he thus sinneth and trespasseth, he shall then restore the robbery that he robbed, or the thing taken by violence which he took by force, or the thing which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
5 Or for whatsoever he hath sworn falsely, he shall both restore it in the whole (H)sum, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it pertaineth, the same day that he offereth for his trespass.
6 Also he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the (I)flock in thy estimation worth two shekels for a trespass offering unto the Priest.
7 And the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord, and it shall be forgiven him, whatsoever thing he hath done, and trespassed therein.
8 ¶ Then the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the [s]law of the burnt offering, (it is the burnt offering because it burneth upon the altar all the night unto the morning, and the fire burneth on the altar).
10 And the Priest shall put on his linen garment, and shall put on his linen breeches upon [t]his flesh, and take away the ashes when the fire hath consumed the burnt offering upon the altar, and he shall put them beside the [u]altar.
11 After, he shall put off his garments, and put on other raiment, and carry the ashes forth without the host unto a clean place.
12 But the fire upon the altar shall burn thereon and never be put out: wherefore the Priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
13 The fire shall ever burn upon the altar, and never go out.
14 ¶ (J)Also this is the law of the meat offering, which Aaron’s sons shall offer in the presence of the Lord, before the altar.
15 He shall even take thence his handful of fine flour of the meat offering and of the oil, and all the incense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor, as a (K)memorial therefore unto the Lord:
16 But the rest thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: it shall be eaten without leaven in the holy place: in the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation they shall eat it.
17 It shall not be [v]baked with leaven: I have given it for their portion of mine offering made by fire: for it is as the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it: It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire: (L)whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy:
19 ¶ Again the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
20 This is the offering of Aaron and his sons, which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an (M)Ephah of fine flour, for a meat offering [w]perpetual: half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
21 In the frying pan it shall be made with oil: thou shalt bring it fried, and shalt offer the [x]baked pieces of the meat offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
22 And the Priest that is [y]anointed in his stead, among his sons shall offer it: It is the Lord’s ordinance forever, it shall be burnt altogether.
23 For every meat offering of the Priest shall be burnt altogether, it shall not be eaten.
24 ¶ Furthermore, the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
25 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and say, This is the Law of the sin offering, In the place where the burnt offering is killed, shall the sin offering be killed before the Lord, for it is most holy.
26 The Priest that offereth this sin offering, shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there droppeth of the blood thereof upon a [z]garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it droppeth in the holy place.
28 Also the earthen pot that it is sodden in, shall be broken, but if it be sodden in a brazen pot, it shall both be scoured and washed with [aa]water.
29 All the males among the Priests shall eat thereof, for it is most holy.
30 (N)But no sin offering, whose blood is brought into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to make reconciliation in the holy place, shall be eaten, but shall be burnt with [ab]fire.
7 1 The law of the trespass offering. 11 Also of the peace offering. 23 The fat and the blood may not be eaten.
1 Likewise this is the law of the [ac]trespass offering, it is most holy.
2 In the place [ad]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 All the fat thereof also shall [ae]he offer, the rump, and the fat that covered the inwards.
4 After, he shall take away the two kidneys, with the fat that is on them and upon the flanks, and the caul on the liver with the kidneys.
5 Then the Priest shall burn them upon the altar, for an offering made by fire unto the Lord: this is a trespass offering.
6 All the males among the Priests shall eat thereof, it shall be eaten in the holy place for it is most holy.
7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering, one [af]law serveth for both: [ag]that wherewith the Priest shall make atonement, shall be his.
8 Also the Priest that offereth any man’s burnt offering, shall have the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
9 And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven, and that is dressed in the pan, and in the frying pan, shall be the Priest’s that offereth it.
10 And every meat offering mingled with oil, and that is [ah]dry, shall pertain unto all the sons of Aaron, to all alike.
11 Furthermore, this is the law of the peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the Lord.
12 If he offer it to [ai]give thanks, then he shall offer for his thanks offering, unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried with the cakes mingled with oil.
13 He shall offer also his offering with cakes of leavened bread, for his peace offerings, to give thanks.
14 And of all the sacrifice he shall offer one cake for an heave offering unto the Lord, and it shall be the Priest’s that sprinkled the blood of the peace offerings.
15 Also the flesh of the peace offerings, for thanksgiving, shall be eaten the same day that it is offered: he shall leave nothing thereof until the morning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering be a [aj]vow, or a free offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and so in the morning the residue thereof shall be eaten.
17 But as much of the offered flesh as remaineth unto the third day, shall be burnt with fire.
18 For if any of the flesh of his peace offerings be eaten in the third day, he shall not be accepted that offereth it, neither shall it be reckoned unto him, but shall be an abomination: therefore the person that eateth of it shall [ak]bear his iniquity.
19 The flesh also that toucheth any unclean [al]thing, shall not be eaten, but burnt with fire: but [am]of this flesh all that be clean shall eat thereof.
20 But if any eat of the flesh of the peace offerings that pertaineth to the Lord, having his (O)uncleanness upon him, even the same person shall be cut off from his people.
21 Moreover, when any toucheth any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or of an unclean beast, or of any filthy abomination, and eat of the flesh of the peace offerings, which pertaineth unto the Lord, even that person shall be cut off from his people.
22 ¶ Again the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, (P)Ye shall eat no fat of beeves, nor of sheep, nor of goats.
24 Yet the fat of the dead beast, and the fat of that, which is torn with beasts, shall be occupied to any use, but ye shall not eat of it.
25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of the which ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, even the person that eateth, shall be cut off from his people.
26 Neither (Q)shall ye eat any blood, either of fowl, or of beast in all your dwellings.
27 Every person that eateth any blood, even the same person shall be cut off from his people.
28 ¶ And the Lord talked with Moses, saying,
29 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, He that offereth his peace offerings unto the Lord, shall bring his gift unto the Lord of his peace offerings.
30 His [an]hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire: even the fat with the breast shall he bring, that the breast may be (R)shaken to and fro before the Lord.
31 Then the Priest shall burn the fat upon the Altar, and 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 your peace offerings.
33 The same that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat among the sons of Aaron, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
34 For the breast shaken to and fro, and the shoulder lifted up, have I taken of the children of Israel, even of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the Priest and unto his sons by a statute forever from among the children of Israel.
35 ¶ This is the [ao]anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons, concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to serve in the Priest’s office unto the Lord.
36 The which portions the Lord commanded to give them in the day that he anointed them from among the children of Israel, by a statute forever in their generations.
37 This is also the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the [ap]consecrations, and of the peace offerings,
38 Which the Lord commanded Moses in the mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel to offer their gifts unto the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.
