Leviticus 7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NEW JERUSALEM
1 "This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy;	1 ' "This is the ritual for the sacrifice of reparation: "It is especially holy.
2 in the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the guilt offering, and its blood shall be thrown on the altar round about.	2 The victim must be slaughtered where the burnt offerings are slaughtered, and the priest wil pour theblood al around the altar.
3 And all its fat shall be offered, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails,	3 He wil then offer al the fat: the tail, the fat covering the entrails,
4 the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys;	4 both kidneys, the fat on them and on the loins, the mass of fat which he wil remove from the liver andkidneys.
5 the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.	5 The priest will burn these pieces on the altar as food burnt for Yahweh. This is a sacrifice of reparation.
6 Every male among the priests may eat of it; it shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.	6 Every male who is a priest may eat it. It wil be eaten inside the holy place; it is especially holy.
7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering, there is one law for them; the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.	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.
8 And the priest who offers any man's burnt offering shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.	8 The hide of the victim presented by someone to the priest to be offered as a burnt offering wil revert tothe priest.
9 And every cereal offering baked in the oven and all that is prepared on a pan or a griddle shall belong to the priest who offers it.	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.
10 And every cereal offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall be for all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.	10 Every cereal offering, mixed with oil or dry, wil revert to all the descendants of Aaron withoutdistinction.
11 "And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which one may offer to the LORD.	11 "This is the ritual for the communion sacrifice to be offered to Yahweh:
12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the thank offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes of fine flour well mixed with oil.	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.
13 With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving he shall bring his offering with cakes of leavened bread.	13 This offering, then, must be added to the cakes of leavened bread and to the communion sacrifice withpraise.
14 And of such he shall offer one cake from each offering, as an offering to the LORD; it shall belong to the priest who throws the blood of the 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.
15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.	15 The meat of the victim wil be eaten on the day the offering is made; nothing may be left until nextmorning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a votive offering or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the morrow what remains of it shall be eaten,	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;
17 but what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.	17 but on the third day whatever is left of the meat of the victim must be burnt.
18 If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten on the third day, he who offers it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be credited to him; it shall be an abomination, and he who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.	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.
19 "Flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. All who are clean may eat flesh,	19 "Meat that has touched anything unclean cannot be eaten; it must be burnt. "Anyone clean may eat themeat,
20 but the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the LORD's peace offerings while an uncleanness is on him, that person shall be cut off from his people.	20 but anyone unclean who eats the meat of a communion sacrifice offered to Yahweh wil be outlawedfrom his people.
21 And if any one touches an unclean thing, whether the uncleanness of man or an unclean beast or any unclean abomination, and then eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the LORD's peace offerings, that person 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." '
22 The LORD said to Moses,	22 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
23 "Say to the people of Israel, You shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat.	23 'Speak to the Israelites and say: "You may not eat the fat of ox, sheep or goat.
24 The fat of an animal that dies of itself, and the fat of one that is torn by beasts, may be put to any other use, but on no account shall you eat it.	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.
25 For every person who eats of the fat of an animal of which an offering by fire is made to the LORD shall be cut off from his people.	25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal offered as food burnt for Yahweh wil be outlawed from hispeople.
26 Moreover you shall eat no blood whatever, whether of fowl or of animal, in any of your dwellings.	26 "Wherever you live, you wil never eat blood, whether it be of bird or of beast.
27 Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people."	27 Anyone who eats any blood wil be outlawed from his people." '
28 The LORD said to Moses,	28 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
29 "Say to the people of Israel, He that offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD; from the sacrifice of his peace offerings	29 'Speak to the Israelites and say: "Anyone who offers Yahweh a communion sacrifice must bring himpart of his sacrifice as an offering.
30 he shall bring with his own hands the offerings by fire to the LORD; he shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the LORD.	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.
31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.	31 The priest wil then burn the fat on the altar, and the forequarters wil revert to Aaron and hisdescendants.
32 And the right thigh you shall give to the priest as an offering from the sacrifice of your peace offerings;	32 You will set aside the right thigh from your communion sacrifice and give it to the priest.
33 he among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat shall have the right thigh for a portion.	33 The right thigh will be the portion of the descendant of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of thecommunion sacrifice.
34 For the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered I have taken from the people of Israel, out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a perpetual due from the people of Israel.	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." '
35 This is the portion of Aaron and of his sons from the offerings made by fire to the LORD, consecrated to them on the day they were presented to serve as priests of the LORD;	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.
36 the LORD commanded this to be given them by the people of Israel, on the day that they were anointed; it is a perpetual due throughout their generations."	36 This was what Yahweh ordered the Israelites to give them on the day they were anointed: a perpetuallaw for al their descendants.
37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the cereal offering, of the sin offering, of the guilt offering, of the consecration, and of the peace offerings,	37 Such was the ritual for burnt offering, cereal offering, sacrifice for sin, sacrifice of reparation, investituresacrifice and communion sacrifice,
38 which the LORD commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the people of Israel to bring their offerings to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.	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.
