Leviticus 7

1 And this is the law of the trespass-offering: it is most holy.2 In the place where they kill the burnt-offering they shall kill the trespass-offering; and the blood thereof he shall sprinkle on the altar round about.3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the insides,4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away;5 and the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to Yahweh: it is a trespass-offering.6 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: 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: the priest that makes atonement therewith, he shall have it.8 And the priest that offers any man's burnt-offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt-offering which he has offered.9 And 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 priest's that offers it.10 And every meal-offering, mingled with oil, or dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as well as another.

11 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which one shall offer to Yahweh.12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour soaked.13 With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his oblation with the sacrifice of his peace-offerings for thanksgiving.14 And of it he shall offer one out of each oblation for a heave-offering to Yahweh; it shall be the priest's that sprinkles the blood of the peace-offerings.15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his oblation; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.16 But if the sacrifice of his oblation is a vow, or a freewill-offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice; and on the next day that which remains of it shall be eaten:17 but that which remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings is eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him that offers it: it shall be contaminated, and the soul that eats of it shall bear his iniquity.19 And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire. And as for the flesh, every one that is clean shall eat thereof:20 but the soul that eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, that pertain to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people.21 And when any one shall touch any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or unclean beast, or any unclean reptile, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which pertain to Yahweh, that soul shall be cut off from his people.22 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,23 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, You shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat.24 And the fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of beasts, may be used for any other service; but you shall in no way eat of it.25 For whoever eats the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, even the soul that eats it shall be cut off from his people.26 And you shall eat no manner of blood, whether it is of bird or of beast, in any of your dwellings.27 Whoever it is that eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.28 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,29 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, He that offers the sacrifice of his peace-offerings to Yahweh shall bring his oblation to Yahweh out of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings:30 his own hands shall bring the offerings of Yahweh made by fire; the fat with the breast he shall bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave-offering before Yahweh.31 And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar; but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.32 And the right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave-offering out of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings.33 He among the sons of Aaron that offers the blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion.34 For the wave-breast and the heave-thigh I have taken of the sons of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as [their] portion forever from the sons of Israel.

35 This is the anointing-portion of Aaron, and the anointing-portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, in the day when he presented them to serve Yahweh in the priest's office;36 which Yahweh commanded to be given to them of the sons of Israel, 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 peace-offerings;38 which Yahweh commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the sons of Israel to offer their oblations to Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai.
