Leviticus 7

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 This also is the law of the sacrifice for a trespass, it is most holy:	1 "This is the ritual for guilt offerings, which are most sacred.
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.	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 thereof the rump and the fat that covereth the entrails:	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 which is by the flanks, and the caul 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 burnt sacrifice of the Lord for a trespass.	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 the priestly race, shall eat this flesh in a holy place, because it is most holy.	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 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.	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 that offereth the victim of holocaust, shall have the skin thereof.	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 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:	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 they be tempered with oil, or dry, all the sons of Aaron shall have one as much as another.	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 sacrifice of peace offerings that is offered to the Lord.	11 "This is the ritual for the peace offerings that are presented to the LORD.
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:	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 Moreover leaves of leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanks, which is offered 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 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.	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 And the flesh of it shall be eaten the same day, neither shall any of it remain until the 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 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:	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 But whatsoever shall 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 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.	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 hath touched any unclean thing, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire: he that is clean shall eat of 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 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.	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 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.	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 children 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 hath died of itself, and of a beast that was caught by another beast, you shall have for divers 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 any man eat the fat that should be offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish out of 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 Moreover you shall not eat the blood of any creature whatsoever, 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 one that eateth blood, shall perish from among the 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 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.	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 hath 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 Aaron's and his sons'.	31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.
32 The right shoulder also of the victims of peace offerings shall fall to the priest for firstfruits.	32 Moreover, from your peace offering you shall give to the priest the right leg as a raised offering.
33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood, and the fat, he shall have the right shoulder also 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 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.	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, in the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, that they might do the office of 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 the things that the Lord commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, by 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 holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for trespass, and for consecration, and 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 in mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel, that they should 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.
