Leviticus 7

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Likewise, this is the law of the sacrifice for a transgression. It is the Holy of holies.	1 "This is the ritual for guilt offerings, which are most sacred.
2 Therefore, where the holocaust is immolated, the victim for a transgression shall also be slain. Its blood shall be poured out all around the altar.	2 At the place where the holocausts are slaughtered, there also shall the guilt offering be slaughtered. Its blood shall be splashed on the sides of the altar.
3 They shall offer from it: the rump, and the fat that covers the vital organs,	3 All of its fat shall be taken from it and offered up: the fatty tail, the fatty membrane over the inner organs,
4 the two little kidneys, and the fat that is near the sides, and the mesh of the liver with the little kidneys.	4 as well as the two kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which must be severed above the kidneys.
5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar. It is the incense of the Lord on behalf of a transgression.	5 All this the priest shall burn on the altar as an oblation to the LORD. This is the guilt offering.
6 Every male of priestly descent shall feed on this flesh in a holy place, because it is the Holy of holies.	6 All the males of the priestly line may partake of it; but it must be eaten in a sacred place, since it is most sacred.
7 Just as the sacrifice for sin is offered, so also for a transgression; one law shall be for both sacrifices. It shall belong to the priest who offers it.	7 "Because the sin offering and the guilt offering are alike, both having the same ritual, the guilt offering likewise belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it.
8 The priest who offers the victim of holocaust shall have its skin.	8 Similarly, the priest who offers a holocaust for someone may keep for himself the hide of the holocaust that he has offered.
9 And every sacrifice of fine wheat flour which is baked in the oven, and whatever is prepared on the oven grating or in the frying pan, shall be for the priest who offers it.	9 Also, every cereal offering that is baked in an oven or deep-fried in a pot or fried on a griddle shall belong to the priest who offers it,
10 Whether these will be sprinkled with oil, or left dry, an equal measure shall be divided to each one of the sons of Aaron.	10 whereas all cereal offerings that are offered up dry or mixed with oil shall belong to all of Aaron's sons without distinction.
11 This is the law of the victim of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord.	11 "This is the ritual for the peace offerings that are presented to the LORD.
12 If the oblation will be an act for giving thanks, they shall offer bread without leaven sprinkled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine wheat flour fried, and cakes sprinkled and mixed with oil,	12 When anyone makes a peace offering in thanksgiving, together with his thanksgiving sacrifice he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes made of fine flour mixed with oil and well kneaded.
13 and also, leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, which is immolated for peace offerings.	13 His offering shall also include loaves of leavened bread along with the victim of his peace offering for thanksgiving.
14 Of these, one shall be offered to the Lord as the first-fruits, and one shall be for the priest who will pour out the blood of the victim.	14 From each of his offerings he shall present one portion as a contribution to the LORD; this shall belong to the priest who splashes the blood of the peace offering.
15 The flesh of it shall be eaten on the same day; neither shall any of it remain until morning.	15 "The flesh of the thanksgiving sacrifice shall be eaten on the day it is offered; none of it may be kept till the next day.
16 If anyone, by a vow or of his own accord, will have offered a sacrifice, it shall be eaten in a similar manner on the same day. But then if any of it will have remained until tomorrow, it is lawful to eat it.	16 However, if the sacrifice is a votive or a free-will offering, it should indeed be eaten on the day the sacrifice is offered, but what is left over may be eaten on the next day.
17 Then whatever will be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.	17 Should any flesh from the sacrifice be left over on the third day, it must be burned up in the fire.
18 If anyone will have eaten from the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation will be nullified; neither will it benefit the one who offered it. But instead, whatever soul will contaminate itself with such foods will be guilty of a betrayal.	18 If, therefore, any of the flesh of the peace offering is eaten on the third day, it shall not win favor for him nor shall it be reckoned to his credit; rather, it shall be considered as refuse, and anyone who eats of it shall have his guilt to bear.
19 The flesh that has touched anything unclean shall not be eaten, but it shall be burnt with fire. He that is clean will feed on it.	19 Should the flesh touch anything unclean, it may not be eaten, but shall be burned up in the fire. "All who are clean may partake of this flesh.
20 If a soul which is polluted will have eaten from the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall perish from his people.	20 If, however, someone while in a state of uncleanness eats any of the flesh of a peace offering belonging to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people.
21 And whoever will have touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of anything which is able to defile, and who will have eaten from this kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his people.	21 Likewise, if someone touches anything unclean, whether the uncleanness be of human or of animal origin or from some loathsome crawling creature, and then eats of a peace offering belonging to the LORD, that person, too, shall be cut off from his people."
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	22 The LORD said to Moses,
23 Say to the sons of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat.	23 "Tell the Israelites: You shall not eat the fat of any ox or sheep or goat.
24 The fat of a carcass that has died on its own, or of an animal that has been seized by a wild beast, you shall have for various uses.	24 Although the fat of an animal that has died a natural death or has been killed by wild beasts may be put to any other use, you may not eat it.
25 If anyone will have eaten the fat which ought to be offered as a burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish from his people.	25 If anyone eats the fat of an animal from which an oblation is made to the LORD, such a one shall be cut off from his people.
26 Likewise, you shall not take as food the blood of any animals at all, whether of birds or beasts.	26 Wherever you dwell, you shall not partake of any blood, be it of bird or of animal.
27 Every soul that will have eaten blood shall perish from his people.	27 Every person who partakes of any blood shall be cut off from his people."
28 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	28 The LORD said to Moses,
29 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: Whoever offers a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him also offer at the same time a sacrifice, that is, its libations.	29 "Tell the Israelites: He who presents a peace offering to the LORD shall bring a part of it as his special offering to him,
30 He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. And when he will have offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,	30 carrying in with his own hands the oblations to the LORD. The fat is to be brought in, together with the breast, which is to be waved as a wave offering before the LORD.
31 who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.	31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.
32 Likewise also, the right shoulder of the victim of peace offerings shall fall to the priest as first-fruits.	32 Moreover, from your peace offering you shall give to the priest the right leg as a raised offering.
33 Among the sons of Aaron, whoever will have offered the blood and the fat, the same one shall also have the right shoulder for his portion.	33 The descendant of Aaron who offers up the blood and fat of the peace offering shall have the right leg as his portion,
34 So then, the breast that is lifted up, and the shoulder that is separated, I have taken from the sons of Israel, from their victims of peace offerings, and I have given these to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a law in perpetuity, from all the people of Israel.	34 for from the peace offerings of the Israelites I have taken the breast that is waved and the leg that is raised up, and I have given them to Aaron, the priest, and to his sons by a perpetual ordinance as a contribution from the Israelites."
35 This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, by the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, so that they may fulfill the priesthood,	35 This is the priestly share from the oblations of the LORD, allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day he called them to be the priests of the LORD;
36 and this is what the Lord instructed to be given to them by the sons of Israel, as a perpetual observance in their generations.	36 on the day he anointed them the LORD ordered the Israelites to give them this share by a perpetual ordinance throughout their generations.
37 This is the law of the holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for transgression, and for consecration, and for the victims of peace offerings,	37 This is the ritual for holocausts, cereal offerings, sin offerings, guilt offerings, (ordination offerings) and peace offerings,
38 which the Lord appointed to Moses on mount Sinai, when he commanded the sons of Israel to offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.	38 which the LORD enjoined on Moses at Mount Sinai at the time when he commanded the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai to bring their offerings to the LORD.
