Leviticus 7

7 ¹ This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy. ² Where they slaughter the burnt offering, they must slaughter the guilt offering; splatter its blood on all sides of the altar. ³ All its fat is offered: the fat tail and fat covering the inner organs, ⁴ the two kidneys and their fat at the loins, and the liver's long lobe, removed with the kidneys. ⁵ The priest burns them on the altar as a food offering to our Father; a guilt offering. ⁶ Any male priest may eat it, eaten only in a holy place; it is most holy.

⁷ The sin offering and guilt offering share one law: it belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it. ⁸ The priest who offers anyone's burnt offering keeps its hide for himself. ⁹ Any grain offering baked in an oven, and all made in a pan or on a griddle, belongs to the priest who offers it. ¹⁰ Every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs equally to all Aaron's sons.

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 presents it as a thank offering, with it he must offer unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and cakes of fine flour well kneaded and mixed with oil. ¹³ He must bring loaves of leavened bread with his thanksgiving sacrifice of peace offerings. ¹⁴ From it he must give one of each as a contribution to our Father; it belongs to the priest who spatters the blood of the peace offerings. ¹⁵ The meat of his thanksgiving peace offerings must be eaten the day it's offered; none of it may remain until morning.

¹⁶ If his offering is a vow or voluntary sacrifice, it must be eaten the day he offers it; what remains may be eaten the next day. ¹⁷ But any sacrifice flesh remaining on the third day must be burned in fire. ¹⁸ If any of his peace offering's meat is eaten on the third day, it won't be accepted, it won't count for the offerer — it's tainted, and whoever eats it bears his guilt.

¹⁹ Flesh that touches anything unclean must not be eaten—burn that flesh in fire. But other flesh: anyone clean may eat it. ²⁰ Anyone who eats meat of our Father's peace offering while unclean will be cut off from his people. ^a a v20 To be 'cut off from the people' meant exclusion from Israel's covenant community, likely by divine judgment or communal action. ²¹ Whoever touches anything unclean — human impurity, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable thing — then eats meat from 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: Do not eat any fat from ox, sheep, or goat. ²⁴ Fat from a carcass or animal mauled by a predator may serve any purpose, but never eat it. ²⁵ Anyone who eats fat from an animal offered to me by fire will be cut off from his people. ²⁶ You must not eat any blood at all, from bird or 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 Speak to the Israelites: Whoever presents his peace offering to me must bring his offering to me from that sacrifice. ³⁰ With his hands he must bring my food offerings; the fat with the breast he must bring, to wave the breast as a wave offering before me. ³¹ The priest burns the fat on the altar; 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 Whichever son of Aaron offers the peace offering's blood and fat gets the right thigh as his portion. ³⁴ For I have taken the breast of the wave offering and thigh of the contribution from Israel's peace offerings, and given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent share from Israel.

³⁵ This is Aaron and his sons' portion from our Father's food offerings, from the day they were presented to serve our Father as priests. ³⁶ Our Father commanded this be given them from the Israelites, the day he anointed them—a permanent share for all their generations. ³⁷ This is the law for burnt offerings, grain offerings, sin offerings, guilt offerings, ordination offerings, and peace offerings. ³⁸ which our Father commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, the day he commanded the people of Israel to bring their offerings to our Father in the Wilderness of Sinai.
