Leviticus 7
1 "'This is the law of the trespass offering. It is most holy. 2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle on the altar round about. 3 He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards, 4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away; 5 and the Kohen shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a trespass offering. 6 Every male among the Kohanim may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy. 7 "'As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering; there is one law for them. Ihe Kohen who makes atonement with them, he shall have it. 8 The Kohen who offers any man's burnt offering, even the Kohen shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered. 9 Every meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying pan, and on the baking pan, shall be the Kohen's who offers it. 10 Every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aharon, one as well as another.
11 "'This is the law of the sacrifice of shalom offerings, which one shall offer to the LORD. 12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil. 13 With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his offering with the sacrifice of his shalom offerings for thanksgiving. 14 Of it he shall offer one out of each offering for a heave offering to the LORD. It shall be the Kohen's who sprinkles the blood of the shalom offerings. 15 The flesh of the sacrifice of his shalom offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning. 16 "'But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice; and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten: 17 but what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire. 18 If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his shalom offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him who offers it. It will be an abomination, and the soul who eats any of it will bear his iniquity. 19 "'The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. As for the flesh, everyone who is clean may eat it; 20 but the soul who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of shalom offerings, that belongs to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people. 21 When anyone touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal, or any unclean abomination, and eats some of the flesh of the sacrifice of shalom offerings, which belong to the LORD, that soul shall be cut off from his people.'" 22 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, 23 "Speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, 'You shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat. 24 The fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of animals, may be used for any other service, but you shall in no way eat of it. 25 For whoever eats the fat of the animal, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, even the soul who eats it shall be cut off from his people. 26 You shall not eat any blood, whether it is of bird or of animal, in any of your dwellings. 27 Whoever it is who eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.'" 28 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, 29 "Speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, 'He who offers the sacrifice of his shalom offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD out of the sacrifice of his shalom offerings. 30 With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD. 31 The Kohen shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aharon's and his sons'. 32 The right thigh you shall give to the Kohen for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your shalom offerings. 33 He among the sons of Aharon who offers the blood of the shalom offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion. 34 For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Yisra'el out of the sacrifices of their shalom offerings, and have given them to Aharon the Kohen and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Yisra'el.'"
35 This is the anointing portion of Aharon, and the anointing portion of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to the LORD in the Kohen's office; 36 which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Yisra'el, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations. 37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of shalom offerings; 38 which the LORD commanded Moshe in Mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Yisra'el to offer their offerings to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
