The Guilt Offering
1. Now this is the law of the guilt offering, which is most holy:
2. In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, there the guilt offering shall be slaughtered, and its blood shall be splashed against the sides of the altar.
3. All its fat shall be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the inner organs,
4. both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys.
5. The priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.
6. Every male among the priests may eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area; it is most holy.
7. The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the same law applies to both. It belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it.
8. The priest who presents someone’s burnt offering shall have for himself the hide of the burnt offering that he has presented.
9. Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it,
10. and every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, shall belong equally to all the sons of Aaron.
The Peace Offering
11. Now this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that one may present to the LORD:
12. If he presents it for thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, he is to offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.
13. He is to present his offering with cakes of leavened bread for his thanksgiving sacrifice, along with the sacrifice of his peace offerings of thanksgiving.
14. From the cakes he shall offer one portion of each offering as a contribution to the LORD. It shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.
15. The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; none of it may be left until morning.
16. If, however, his sacrifice is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and the remainder may be eaten on the next day.
17. But anything left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day must be burned up.
18. If any of the flesh of his peace offering of thanksgiving is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted; it will not be credited to the one who presented it; it shall be an abomination, and the soul who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
19. The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for the meat, everyone who is ceremonially clean may eat it,
20. but the soul who eats meat from the peace offering for thanksgiving that belongs to the LORD while he is unclean, that person shall be cut off from his people.
21. If anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean, detestable creature, and then eats the meat of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people.’”
Fat and Blood Forbidden
22. Then the LORD said to Moses:
23. “Say to the Israelites, ‘You are not to eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.
24. The fat of an animal that dies of itself and the fat of one that is mauled by wild beasts may be used for any other purpose, but you must never eat it.
25. For anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering by fire may be made to the LORD must be cut off from his people.
26. And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
27. Whoever eats any blood must be cut off from his people.’”
The Priests’ Portion
28. Then the LORD said to Moses:
29. “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Anyone who presents a peace offering to the LORD must bring an offering to the LORD from his peace offering.
30. With his own hands he shall bring the offerings made by fire to the LORD; he shall bring the fat along with the breast, and he is to wave the breast as a wave offering before the LORD.
31. The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.
32. You are to give the right thigh of your fellowship offerings to the priest as a contribution.
33. The son of Aaron who presents the blood and fat of the peace offerings shall have the right thigh as his portion.
34. For I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution from the Israelites out of their fellowship offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion from the Israelites.’”
35. This is the portion of Aaron and his sons from the offerings made by fire to the LORD on the day they were presented to serve the LORD as priests.
36. On the day they were anointed, the LORD commanded that the Israelites give them these portions as their perpetual share for the generations to come.
37. These, then, are the instructions for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering,
38. which the LORD gave to Moses on Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai.
