Leviticus

This is the regulation for the repayment sacrifice:

It is an offering of utmost holiness. The animal designated for this offering must be killed in the same location where the animals for the burnt offerings are sacrificed, and the priest is required to pour out the blood along the sides of the altar.

Then, he shall present all the fat: the tail, the fat that covers the internal organs,

the two kidneys, the fat on them, and the loins, along with the best portions taken from the liver and kidneys.

The priest must burn these pieces on the altar as a burnt offering for the Lord. This constitutes a sacrifice of repayment.

Any male priest may partake of it, but it must be consumed in a holy place, as it is considered extremely holy.

As with the sin offering, so too with the repayment offering, the regulation is the same for both. The offering used in the sin sacrifice belongs to the priest.

The skin of the animal presented by a man to the priest for a burnt offering belongs to the priest.

Every grain offering baked in the oven, fried in a pan, or cooked on the griddle shall belong to the priest who presents it.

Every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, belongs equally to all of Aaron’s sons.

This is the regulation for the peace offering presented to the Lord:

If it is offered as a thanksgiving offering, it must include unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and fine flour in the form of cakes mixed with oil.

This offering must then be added to the loaves of leavened bread and the thanksgiving offering.

One of the cakes from this offering is to be presented as an offering to the Lord; it shall belong to the priest who pours out the blood of the peace offering.

The animal’s flesh must be eaten when the offering is made; nothing may remain until the next day.

If the animal is presented before the Lord as a freely offered sacrifice, it must be eaten on the day it is offered and the next day;

but on the third day, any leftovers of the animal’s flesh must be burned.

If the meat offered as a peace offering is consumed on the third day, the person who offered it shall not be accepted nor credited for it, for it is defiled meat, and the person who eats it shall suffer the penalty for his wrongdoing.

If this meat touches anything unclean, it cannot be eaten and must be burned.

Anyone clean may eat the meat of the peace offering, but anyone who eats the meat of a peace offering presented to the Lord while he is unclean shall be cut off from his people.

If anyone touches anything unclean, whether human or animal or any crawling creature, and then eats the meat of a peace offering presented to the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.

Various Rules

No Eating Fat or Blood

The Lord spoke to Moses; he said:

“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them:

You must not eat the fat of oxen, sheep, or goats.

The fat of an animal that has died a natural death or been killed by a wild animal may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.

Anyone who eats the fat of an animal offered as a burnt offering to the Lord shall be cut off from his people.

Wherever you live, you must not eat blood from a bird or animal.

Anyone who eats blood, regardless of who they are, shall be cut off from their people.”

The Priests’ Share

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them:

Anyone who offers peace to the Lord must bring a portion of his sacrifice to the Lord.

He is to present the Lord’s burnt offering, including the fat near the breast and the breast itself, with his own hands. Then he will make the offering gesture before the Lord.

The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, while the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons.

You must set aside and give the right hind leg from your peace offering to the priest.

The right hind leg shall be the share of the son of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the peace offering.

Thus, I reserve this breast and hind leg from every peace offering presented by the sons of Israel and give these to Aaron, the priest, and his sons; this is a law for the sons of Israel forever.

This is the share of Aaron and his sons in the Lord’s burnt offerings since he appointed them as his priests.

This is what the Lord commands the sons of Israel to provide them from the day they are ordained as priests: this is a law for all their descendants for all time to come.

Such are the regulations for burnt offerings, grain offerings, sin offerings, repayment offerings, ordination, and peace offerings.

This is what the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai when he instructed the people of Israel to bring their offerings to the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.
