Leviticus 7

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ' "This is the ritual for the sacrifice of reparation: "It is especially holy.	1 This also is the law of the sacrifice for a trespass, it is most holy:
2 The victim must be slaughtered where the burnt offerings are slaughtered, and the priest wil pour theblood al around the altar.	2 Therefore where the holocaust is immolated, the victim also for a trespass shall be slain: the blood thereof shall be poured round about the altar.
3 He wil then offer al the fat: the tail, the fat covering the entrails,	3 They shall offer thereof the rump and the fat that covereth the entrails:
4 both kidneys, the fat on them and on the loins, the mass of fat which he wil remove from the liver andkidneys.	4 The two little kidneys, and the fat which is by the flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys.
5 The priest will burn these pieces on the altar as food burnt for Yahweh. This is a sacrifice of reparation.	5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the burnt sacrifice of the Lord for a trespass.
6 Every male who is a priest may eat it. It wil be eaten inside the holy place; it is especially holy.	6 Every male of the priestly race, shall eat this flesh in a holy place, because it is most holy.
7 "As with the sacrifice for sin, so with the sacrifice of reparation -- the ritual is the same for both. Theoffering with which the priest performs the rite of expiation will revert to the priest.	7 As the sacrifice for sin is offered, so is also that for a trespass: the same shall be the law of both these sacrifices: it shall belong to the priest that offereth it.
8 The hide of the victim presented by someone to the priest to be offered as a burnt offering wil revert tothe priest.	8 The priest that offereth the victim of holocaust, shall have the skin thereof.
9 Every cereal offering baked in the oven, every cereal offering cooked in the pan or on the griddle wilrevert to the priest who offers it.	9 And every sacrifice of flour that is baked in the oven, and whatsoever is dressed on the gridiron, or in the fryingpan, shall be the priest's that offereth it:
10 Every cereal offering, mixed with oil or dry, wil revert to all the descendants of Aaron withoutdistinction.	10 Whether they be tempered with oil, or dry, all the sons of Aaron shall have one as much as another.
11 "This is the ritual for the communion sacrifice to be offered to Yahweh:	11 This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that is offered to the Lord.
12 "If this is offered as a sacrifice with praise, to the latter must be added an offering of unleavened cakesmixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and wheaten flour in the form of cakes mixed with oil.	12 If the oblation be for thanksgiving, they shall offer leaves without leaven tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried, and cakes tempered and mingled with oil:
13 This offering, then, must be added to the cakes of leavened bread and to the communion sacrifice withpraise.	13 Moreover leaves of leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanks, which is offered for peace offerings:
14 One of the cakes of this offering must be presented as an offering to Yahweh; it will revert to the priestwho pours out the blood of the communion sacrifice.	14 Of which one shall be offered to the Lord for firstfruits, and shall be the priest's that shall pour out the blood of the victim.
15 The meat of the victim wil be eaten on the day the offering is made; nothing may be left until nextmorning.	15 And the flesh of it shall be eaten the same day, neither shall any of it remain until the morning.
16 "If the victim is offered as a votive or a voluntary sacrifice, it must be eaten on the day it is offered, and the remainder may be eaten on the fol owing day;	16 If any man by vow, or of his own accord offer a sacrifice, it shall in like manner be eaten the same day: and if any of it remain until the morrow, it is lawful to eat it:
17 but on the third day whatever is left of the meat of the victim must be burnt.	17 But whatsoever shall be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.
18 "If any of the meat of a victim offered as a communion sacrifice is eaten on the third day, the personwho has offered it wil not be acceptable and wil receive no credit for it. It wil count as rotten meat, and theperson who eats it wil bear the consequences of the guilt.	18 If any man eat of the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation shall be of no effect, neither shall it profit the offerer: yea rather whatsoever soul shall defile itself with such meat, shall be guilty of transgression.
19 "Meat that has touched anything unclean cannot be eaten; it must be burnt. "Anyone clean may eat themeat,	19 The flesh that hath touched any unclean thing, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire: he that is clean shall eat of it.
20 but anyone unclean who eats the meat of a communion sacrifice offered to Yahweh wil be outlawedfrom his people.	20 If any one that is defiled shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall be cut off from his people.
21 Furthermore, if anyone touches anything unclean, human or animal, or any foul thing, and then eatsthe meat of a communion sacrifice offered to Yahweh, that individual wil be outlawed from his people." '	21 And he that hath touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of any thing that can defile, and shall eat of such kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his people.
22 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,	22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 'Speak to the Israelites and say: "You may not eat the fat of ox, sheep or goat.	23 Say to the children of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat.
24 The fat of an animal that has died a natural death or been savaged by beasts may be used for anyother purpose, but you are not to eat it.	24 The fat of a carcass that hath died of itself, and of a beast that was caught by another beast, you shall have for divers uses.
25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal offered as food burnt for Yahweh wil be outlawed from hispeople.	25 If any man eat the fat that should be offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish out of his people.
26 "Wherever you live, you wil never eat blood, whether it be of bird or of beast.	26 Moreover you shall not eat the blood of any creature whatsoever, whether of birds or beasts.
27 Anyone who eats any blood wil be outlawed from his people." '	27 Every one that eateth blood, shall perish from among the people.
28 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,	28 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
29 'Speak to the Israelites and say: "Anyone who offers Yahweh a communion sacrifice must bring himpart of his sacrifice as an offering.	29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer therewith a sacrifice also, that is, the libations thereof.
30 He must bring the food to be burnt for Yahweh, that is to say, the fat adhering to the forequarters, withhis own hands. He wil bring it, and also the forequarters, with which he wil make the gesture of offering beforeYahweh.	30 He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast: and when he hath offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,
31 The priest wil then burn the fat on the altar, and the forequarters wil revert to Aaron and hisdescendants.	31 Who shall burn the fat upon the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
32 You will set aside the right thigh from your communion sacrifice and give it to the priest.	32 The right shoulder also of the victims of peace offerings shall fall to the priest for firstfruits.
33 The right thigh will be the portion of the descendant of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of thecommunion sacrifice.	33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood, and the fat, he shall have the right shoulder also for his portion.
34 For I have deprived the Israelites of the forequarter offered and the thigh presented in their communionsacrifices, and given them to the priest Aaron and his descendants; this is a perpetual law for the Israelites." '	34 For the breast that is elevated and the shoulder that is separated I have taken of the children of Israel, from off their victims of peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a law for ever, from all the people of Israel.
35 Such was the portion of Aaron and his descendants in the food burnt for Yahweh, the day hepresented them to Yahweh for them to become his priests.	35 This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, in the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, that they might do the office of priesthood,
36 This was what Yahweh ordered the Israelites to give them on the day they were anointed: a perpetuallaw for al their descendants.	36 And the things that the Lord commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, by a perpetual observance in their generations.
37 Such was the ritual for burnt offering, cereal offering, sacrifice for sin, sacrifice of reparation, investituresacrifice and communion sacrifice,	37 This is the law of holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for trespass, and for consecration, and the victims of peace offerings:
38 which Yahweh laid down for Moses on Mount Sinai, the day he ordered the Israelites to make theirofferings to Yahweh in the desert of Sinai.	38 Which the Lord appointed to Moses in mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel, that they should offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.
