The Law of the Guilt Offering
7 1 This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy. 2 In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they are to slaughter the guilt offering, and its blood is to be splattered against all sides of the altar. 3 All its fat is to be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, 4 the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys. 5 The priest will burn them on the altar as a food offering to our Father; it is a guilt offering. 6 Any male priest may eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering; there is one law for them both: it belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it. 8 The priest who presents anyone's burnt offering may keep for himself the hide of the burnt offering he has presented. 9 Every grain offering baked in the oven, and all that is prepared in a pan or on a griddle, belongs to the priest who presents it. 10 And every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.
The Law of the Peace Offering
11 This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that anyone may bring to our Father. 12 If he offers it as a thanksgiving, then along with the thank offering he is to present unleavened loaves mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and loaves of fine flour well kneaded and mixed with oil. 13 He must also bring loaves of leavened bread along with the thanksgiving sacrifice of his peace offerings. 14 From these he is to present one of each kind as a contribution to our Father; it belongs to the priest who spatters the blood of the peace offerings. 15 The flesh of the thanksgiving sacrifice of his peace offerings must be eaten on the day it is offered; he is to leave none of it until morning.
16 But if the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it is to be eaten on the day he presents it, and what is left over may be eaten the next day. 17 But whatever is left of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day must be burned up. 18 If any flesh of his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who offered it; it is tainted, and the person who eats it will bear his guilt.
19 Flesh that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for the flesh itself, anyone who is clean may eat it. 20 But anyone who eats the flesh of our Father's peace offering while unclean will be cut off from his people. 1 1 v20 To be 'cut off from the people' meant exclusion from Israel's covenant community, likely by divine judgment or communal action. 21 If anyone touches something unclean — human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable thing — and then eats the flesh of our Father's peace offering, that person will be cut off from his people.
The Father Forbids Fat and Blood
22 Our Father spoke to Moses:
23 Tell the people of Israel: You must not eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat. 24 The fat of an animal found dead or mauled by a wild animal may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it. 25 For anyone who eats the fat of an animal used in food offerings to me will be cut off from his people. 26 And you must not eat any blood at all, whether of bird or of animal, wherever you live. 27 Anyone who eats any blood will be cut off from his people.
The Priests' Portion
28 Our Father spoke to Moses:
29 Tell the people of Israel: Whoever brings a peace offering to me must present his offering to me from that sacrifice. 30 With his own hands he is to bring my food offerings; he is to bring the fat with the breast, to wave the breast as a wave offering before me. 31 The priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. 32 You are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offerings. 33 The son of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offering and the fat will have the right thigh as his portion. 34 For I have taken from the people of Israel the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution from their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as their permanent share from the people of Israel.
35 This is the portion of Aaron and his sons from our Father's food offerings, from the day they were presented to serve our Father as priests. 36 Our Father commanded that this be given them by the people of Israel, on the day he anointed them. It is a permanent share for all their generations. 37 This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering, 38 which our Father commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day he commanded the people of Israel to present their offerings to our Father, in the Wilderness of Sinai.
