Leviticus


Chapters 6-10

6[1-7] Then Yahweh told Moses, “If anyone sins, and is guilty of sinning against Yahweh, and lies to a neighbor about something that was given to them to keep safe, or in making a bargain, or has stolen something, or has abused a neighbor, or has found something that was lost, and lied about it; in any of all these things that someone might do, and sin; when they’ve sinned, and are guilty, they’ll give back what they took by theft, or what they got by abusing someone, or by taking something that was given to them to keep safe, or finding something that was lost and keeping it, or anything else that they may have lied about; they’ll give it back in full, and will add five percent more to it. They’ll give it to whoever it belongs to in the day they’re found guilty. They’ll bring their guilt offering to Yahweh, a ram without anything wrong with it from the flock, by your value, for a guilt offering, to the priest. The priest will cover their sins for them in front of Yahweh, and they’ll be forgiven for whatever they did to become guilty.”

[8-11] Then Yahweh told Moses, “Tell Aaron and his sons, 'This is the law of the burnt offering: the burnt offering will be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning; and the fire of the altar will be kept burning on it. The priest will put on their linen clothes, and linen underwear; and take the ashes from where the fire has burned up the offering on the altar, and put them beside the altar. They’ll take off their priests clothes, and put on their other clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

[12-13] The fire on the altar will be kept burning; Don’t let it go out. The priest will burn wood on it every morning: and put the burnt offering in order on it, and will burn the fat of the peace offerings on it. Fire is always to be kept burning on the altar; Don’t let it go out.

[14-18] “’This is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron will offer it to Yahweh on the altar. Take from there a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and burn it on the altar for a reminder that smells good to Yahweh. Whatever is left of it Aaron and his sons will eat. It will be eaten without yeast in a holy place. They will eat it in the court of the Meeting Place. It won’t be baked with yeast. I have given it as their part of my offerings made by fire. It’s most holy, as the sin offering, and as the guilt offering. Every male among the children of Aaron will eat of it, as their part forever throughout their generations, from the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Whoever touches them will be holy.’”

[19-23] Yahweh told Moses, “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons, which they’ll offer to Yahweh in the day when they’re anointed: ten percent of a 3-quart jar of fine flour for a daily grain offering, half of it in the morning, and half in the evening. It will be made with oil in a baking pan. When it’s mixed, bring it in. Offer it in baked pieces for a grain offering that smells good to Yahweh. The anointed priest that will be in Aaron’s place from among the sons will offer it, by a law forever, and it will be totally burned to Yahweh. Every grain offering of a priest will be totally burned. It won’t be eaten.”

[24-30] Yahweh told Moses, “Tell Aaron and his sons, 'This is the law of the sin offering: in the place where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering will be killed to Yahweh. It’s most holy. The priest who offers it for sin will eat it. It will be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the Meeting Place. Whoever touches its meat will be holy. When any of its blood is sprinkled on their clothes, wash what was sprinkled in a holy place. But the earthen pot in which it’s boiled will be broken; and if it’s boiled in a bronze pot, it will be cleaned, and rinsed in water. Every male among the priests will eat of it: It’s most holy. No sin offering, from which any of the blood is brought into the Meeting Place to cover your sins in the Holy Place, will be eaten, but will be burned with fire.

7[1-6] This is the law of the guilt offering. It’s most holy. In the place where they kill the burnt offering, kill the guilt offering; and sprinkle its blood around on the altar. Offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the insides, and the two kidneys, and the fat that’s on them, which is by the hips, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, will you take away; and the priest will burn them on the altar for an offering of fire to Yahweh: It’s a guilt offering. Every male among the priests may eat of it. It will be eaten in a holy place. It’s most holy.

[7-10] As is the sin offering, so is the guilt offering; there’s one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with them will have it. The priest who offers any man's burnt offering, even the priest will have for themself the skin of the burnt offering which has been offered. Every grain offering that’s baked in the oven, and all that’s dressed in the frying pan, and on the baking pan, will be the priest's who offers it. Every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.

[11-15] This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which one will offer to Yahweh. If it’s offered for a thanksgiving, then offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, cakes made without yeast and mixed with oil, and wafers made without yeast rubbed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil. With cakes of yeast bread offer the offering with the sacrifice of peace offerings for thanksgiving. Of it, offer one out of each offering for an offering that’s raised up to Yahweh. It will be the priest's who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings. The meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings for thanksgiving will be eaten on the day of offering. Don’t leave any of it until morning.

[16-21] But if the sacrifice of your offering is a vow, or a freewill offering, it will be eaten on the day that the sacrifice is offered; and on the next day what’s left of it will be eaten: but what’s left of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day will be burned with fire. If any of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it won’t be accepted, nor will it be counted for the one who offers it. It will be counted as garbage, and the one who eats any of it will be guilty of sin. The meat that touches anything unhealthy won’t be eaten. It will be burned with fire. As for the meat, everyone who is healthy may eat it; but the soul who eats of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings that belong to Yahweh, having touched anything unhealthy, that soul will be cut off from the people. When anyone touches anything unhealthy, an unhealthy human, or an unhealthy animal, or any unhealthy that’s counted as garbage, and eats some of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which belong to Yahweh, that soul will be cut off from the people.'”

[22-27] Yahweh told Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, 'Eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or goat. The fat of whatever dies of itself, and the fat of whatever is torn of animals, may be used for any other service, but don’t eat it in any way. Whoever eats the fat of the animal that’s brought for an offering of fire to Yahweh, the one who eats it will be cut off from the people. Don’t eat any blood, whether it’s of bird or of animal, in any home. Whoever eats any blood, that one will be cut off from the people.'”

[28-38] Yahweh told Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, 'Whoever offers the sacrifice of a peace offering to Yahweh will bring the offering to Yahweh out of the sacrifice of their own peace offerings. With their own hands they’ll bring the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering to Yahweh. The priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will be Aaron’s and his sons’. Give the right thigh to the priest for an offering that’s raised up out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings. Those among the sons of Aaron, who offer the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, will have the right thigh for their part. For the breast that’s waved and the thigh that’s raised up I have taken from the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their part forever from the children of Israel.'” This is the part that’s set aside for Aaron, and his sons, out of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, in the day when they were brought to minister to Yahweh in the priest's office; which Yahweh said was to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day they were anointed. It’s their part forever throughout their generations. This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the dedication offering, and of the sacrifice of peace offerings; which Yahweh told Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day that you told the children of Israel to offer their offerings to Yahweh, in the countryside of Sinai.

8[1-5] Yahweh told Moses, “Take Aaron and his sons with them, and the clothes, the anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of bread made without yeast; and gather all the people at the door of the Meeting Place.” So Moses did as Yahweh told them; and the people gathered at the door of the Meeting Place. Then Moses said to the people, “This is what Yahweh has said to be done.”

[6-9] Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. He put the coat on them, tied the belt on, clothed them with the robe, put the back piece on them with its skillfully woven band to attach it. He placed the chest piece on them; and put the Judgment Stones in it. He set the hat on his head; and set the golden plate on the front of the hat, on the holy crown; as Yahweh told Moses.

[10-13] Then Moses took the anointing oil, and poured it on the tent and all that was in it, and dedicated them. He sprinkled it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its tools, and the washing pan and its base, to set them apart. He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, and anointed them, to set them apart. Then Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put on their coats, and tied their belts on them, and put their hats on them; as Yahweh told Moses.

[14-17] He brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering. Moses killed it and took the blood, putting it all around the horns of the altar with his finger, and set the altar apart, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, setting it apart to cover the sins of the people. Then Moses took all the fat that was on the insides, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and their fat and burned it on the altar. But the bull, its skin, its meat, and its wastes, he burned with fire outside the camp as Yahweh told Moses.

[18-21] Then he brought the ram of the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. Moses killed it and sprinkled the blood around on the altar. He cut the ram into pieces; and burned the head, the other pieces, and the fat. He washed the insides and the legs with water; and burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering that smells good, an offering of fire to Yahweh; as Yahweh told Moses.

[22-27 ] Moses brought the other ram, the ram of dedication: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. He killed it; and Moses took some of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of the right foot. He brought Aaron's sons and put some of the blood on the tip of their right ears, and on the thumb of their right hands, and on the big toe of their right feet; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar. He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat that was on the insides, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh; and he took one cake made without yeast, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of bread made without yeast that was for Yahweh, and placed them on the fat, and on the right thigh. He put all these in Aaron's hands and in his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering to Yahweh.

[28-] Then Moses took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar for the burnt offering. They were a dedication offering that smells good, an offering of fire to Yahweh. Then he took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering to Yahweh. It was Moses' part of the ram of dedication, as Yahweh told Moses. Then he took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron and his sons, and on all their clothes, and set apart Aaron and his sons, and all their clothes. So Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat at the door of the Meeting Place, and eat it there along with the bread that’s in the basket of dedication, as I said, 'Aaron and his sons will eat it.' What’s left of the meat and of the bread you’ll burn with fire. Don’t go out from the door of the Meeting Place seven days, until the days of your dedication are over, because it takes seven days to dedicate you. What has been done today, so Yahweh has told you to do to cover your sins. You’ll stay day and night for seven days at the door of the Meeting Place, and do what Yahweh says, so that you don't die, as I was told.” So Aaron and his sons did all the things which Yahweh had said by Moses.

9[1-5] Then on the eighth day, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; and said to Aaron, “Take a calf from the herd for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without anything wrong with it, and offer them to Yahweh. Tell the children of Israel, 'Take a male goat for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without anything wrong with them, for a burnt offering; and a bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice to Yahweh; and a grain offering mixed with oil, because today you’ll see Yahweh.'” So they brought what Moses had told them to the Meeting Place: and all the people came and stood in front of Yahweh.

[6-11] So Moses said, “This is what Yahweh has said you should do, and you’ll see the beautiful light of Yahweh.” Then Moses said to Aaron, “Come to the altar, and offer your sin offering, and your burnt offering, and cover your sins for yourself, and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and cover their sins for them; as Yahweh has said.” So Aaron came to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for themself. The sons of Aaron brought the blood to them; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar: But the fat, the kidneys, and the cover from the liver of the sin offering, he burned on the altar; as Yahweh told Moses. The meat and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.

[12-14] He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons brought the blood to them, and he sprinkled it around on the altar. They brought all the pieces of the burnt offering to them, and the head: and he burned them on the altar. He washed the insides and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar.

[15-17] Then he brought the people's offering, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, like the first. He brought the burnt offering, and offered it as he was told. Then he brought a handful of the grain offering, and burned it on the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning.

[18-22] He also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons brought them the blood, which he sprinkled around on the altar, and the fat of the bull and of the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covered the insides, the kidneys, and the cover of the liver. He put the fat on the breasts, and burned the fat on the altar. Then Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh for a wave offering to Yahweh, as Moses has said. So Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.

[23-24] Then Moses and Aaron went into the Meeting Place, and came out, and blessed the people: and the beautiful light of Yahweh was seen by all the people. Then fire came out from Yahweh, and burned up the burnt offering and the fat on the altar: and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell to the ground.

10[1-3] Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took a fire pan, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered it to Yahweh, which they had not been told to do yet. And fire came from Yahweh, and burned them up, and they died in front of Yahweh. Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, ‘I will be respected by those who come to Me, and will be honored in front of all the people.’” So Aaron said nothing.

[4-7] Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Come here and carry them from the place of worship out of the camp.” So they came, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said. Then Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don't uncover your hair, nor tear your clothes; so that you don't die, and that Yahweh won’t be angry with all the people, but let your family, and the whole house of Israel, cry for what Yahweh has done. Don’t go out from the door of the Meeting Place, or you’ll die; because the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you.” So they did what Moses said.

[8-11] Then Yahweh told Aaron, “Drink no wine nor alcohol, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the Meeting Place, so that you don't die: it will be a law forever throughout your generations. You are to make a difference between what is set apart and what is for regular use, and between what is unhealthy and what is healthy; and that you are to teach the children of Israel all the laws which Yahweh has spoken to them by Moses.”

[12-15] Then Moses told Aaron, Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons who were left, “Take the grain offering that is left of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; because it’s most holy; and eat it in a holy place, because it’s your part, and your sons' part, of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, as I was told. The breast that’s waved and the thigh that’s raised up you’ll eat in the place set apart, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they’re given as your part, and your sons' part, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel. The thigh that’s raised up and the breast that’s waved they’ll bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering to Yahweh: and it will be yours, and your sons’ part forever; as Yahweh has said.”

[16-20] Then Moses asked about the goat of the sin offering, and it was already burned up. So he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, and asked, “Why haven't you eaten the sin offering in the place of worship, seeing it’s most holy, and it’s been given you for the sin of the people, to cover their sins for them for Yahweh? Its blood was not brought to the inner part of the place of worship: you without a doubt should have eaten it in the place of worship, as I said.” So Aaron said to Moses, “Look, today they’ve offered their sin offering and their burnt offering to Yahweh; and you see what has happened to me. If I had eaten the sin offering today, it wouldn’t have been right to Yahweh!” So when Moses heard that, he wasn’t angry any more.
