Leviticus 7 – Verses from Leviticus 7 of the book of Leviticus of the Bible.
1 “This is the regulation of the guilt offering, which is a most holy offering:
Adverts
2 The animal of the guilt offering will be killed in the place where burnt offerings are sacrificed, and its blood will be spilled on the sides of the altar.
3 All its fat will be offered: the fat part of the tail and the fat that covers the entrails,
4 the two kidneys with the fat that covers them and which is close to the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which will be removed together with the kidneys.
5 The priest will burn them on the altar as an offering dedicated to the Lord, prepared by fire. It is a guilt offering.
Adverts
6 Only men from the priests' family may eat it, but it must be eaten in a sacred place; It is a most holy offering.
7 “The same regulation applies to both the sin offering and the guilt offering: the flesh belongs to the priest who makes atonement for the guilt.
8 The priest who offers a burnt offering for someone will keep the animal's hide.
9 Every grain offering, whether baked in an oven or cooked in a pot or pan, belongs to the priest who offers it,
10 and every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or not, belongs equally to the descendants of Aaron.
11 “This is the regulation of the communion offering that can be presented to the Lord:
12 “If anyone does it out of gratitude, then, along with his gratitude offering, he must offer unleavened cakes kneaded with oil, fine bread without yeast and smeared with oil, and cakes of the finest flour well kneaded and mixed with oil.
13 Along with your communion offering of gratitude, you will present an offering that includes yeast cakes.
14 From each offering he will bring a contribution to the Lord that will be given to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the communion offerings.
15 The meat of your communion offering of gratitude will be eaten on the day it is offered; nothing can be left until dawn.
16 “If, however, your offering is the result of a vow or is a voluntary offering, the sacrificial meat will be eaten on the day it is offered, and what remains may be eaten the next day.
17 But the meat that remains from the sacrifice until the third day will be burned in the fire.
18 If the meat of the communion offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. The offering will not be attributed to the one who offered it, as the meat will be spoiled; and whoever eats it will suffer the consequences of his iniquity.
19 “Meat that touches anything unclean will not be eaten; will be burned in the fire. The meat of the sacrifice, however, can be eaten by anyone who is clean.
20 But if anyone who is unclean eats the flesh of the fellowship offering that belongs to the Lord, he will be cut off from among his people.
21 If anyone touches anything unclean, be it human impurity, animal impurity, or any other unclean and forbidden thing, and eats the flesh of the communion offering that belongs to the Lord, he will be eliminated from among his people. “
22 And the Lord said to Moses:
23 “Tell the Israelites: Do not eat any fat from ox, ram or goat.
24 Fat from an animal found dead or torn apart by wild animals can be used for any other purpose, but it can never be eaten.
25 Whoever eats the fat of an animal dedicated to the Lord as an offering prepared by fire will be eliminated from among his people.
26 Wherever you live, do not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
27 Whoever eats blood will be eliminated from among his people.”
28 The Lord said to Moses:
29 “Tell the Israelites: Everyone who brings a communion sacrifice to the Lord must dedicate part of it to the Lord.
30 With his own hands he will bring the offerings prepared by fire to the Lord; He will bring the fat along with the breast and move it before the Lord as a ritual gesture of presentation.
31 The priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his descendants.
32 You must give the right thigh of the communion offerings to the priest as a contribution.
33 The descendant of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the communion offering will receive the right thigh as a portion.
34 From the fellowship offerings of the Israelites, I took the breast that is ritually waved and the thigh that is offered, and I gave them to Aaron the priest and to his descendants for a perpetual decree for the Israelites.”
35 This is the part of the offerings dedicated to the Lord, prepared by fire, assigned to Aaron and his sons on the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests.
36 This is what the Lord commanded to give them, on the day they were anointed from among the Israelites. It is a perpetual decree for your generations.
37 This is the regulation about the holocaust, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the fellowship offering.
38 The Lord gave her to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day he commanded the Israelites to bring their offerings to the Lord in the Sinai desert.
