Sins Requiring a Guilt Offering
1. And the LORD said to Moses:
2. “If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him, or stolen, or extorted, or even defrauded his neighbor,
3. or if he finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that a man may do—
4. when he sins and is found guilty, he must return what he stole or extorted, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost property he found,
5. or anything about which he has sworn falsely. He must make full restitution, add a fifth of the value to it, and give it all to the owner on the day he presents his guilt offering.
6. Then he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock, according to your assessment, as a guilt offering to the priest.
7. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf before the LORD, and he will be forgiven for any of the things he may have done to incur guilt.”
The Burnt Offering
8. Then the LORD said to Moses:
9. “Command Aaron and his sons, saying: ‘This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering must remain on the altar hearth throughout the night until morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.
10. The priest shall put on his linen robe and linen undergarments, and he shall remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar, and he shall place them beside the altar.
11. Then he must disrobe and put on other garments and carry the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place.
12. The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not be extinguished. Every morning the priest shall add wood to the fire, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings.
13. The fire must be kept burning continually on the altar; it must not be extinguished.
The Grain Offering
14. Now this is the law of the grain offering: Aaron’s sons shall present it before the LORD in front of the altar.
15. The priest shall take a handful of the fine flour and oil, together with all the frankincense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
16. Aaron and his sons shall eat the remainder of the fine flour, along with the unleavened bread, in the sanctuary area; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
17. It must not be baked with leaven; I have assigned it as their portion of My offerings made by fire. It is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
18. Any male among the priests may eat it; it is most holy.
19. Furthermore, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
20. “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall present to the LORD on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half in the morning and half in the evening.
21. It must be prepared with oil on a griddle; you are to bring it well-kneaded and present it as a grain offering broken in pieces, as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
22. The priest, who is one of Aaron’s sons and will be anointed to succeed him, shall prepare it. It is the LORD’s perpetual portion, and it must be burned completely.
23. Every grain offering of a priest must be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”
The Sin Offering
24. And the LORD said to Moses:
25. “Tell Aaron and his sons: ‘This is the law of the sin offering. In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before the LORD; it is most holy.
26. The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
27. Whatever touches its flesh shall become holy, and if any of its blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash that garment in the sanctuary area.
28. Any clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled must be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze pot, it must be scoured and rinsed with water.
29. Any male among the priests may eat it; it is most holy.
30. But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been brought into the Tent of Meeting as an atonement for the Holy Place; it must be burned.
