祭司獻贖愆祭的責任

1「贖愆祭的條例是這樣:這祭是至聖的。 2人在哪裏宰燔祭牲,也要在哪裏宰贖愆祭牲;其血,祭司要灑在壇的周圍。 3祭司要獻上牠所有的脂肪,把肥尾巴和包着內臟的脂肪, 4兩個腎和腎上的脂肪,即靠近腎兩旁的脂肪,以及肝上的網油,連同腎一起取下。 5祭司要把這些燒在壇上,獻給耶和華為火祭,作為贖愆祭。 6祭司中所有的男丁都可以吃這祭物,要在聖處吃;這是至聖的。 7贖罪祭怎樣,贖愆祭也是怎樣,都有一樣的條例,用贖愆祭贖罪的祭司要得這祭物。 8獻燔祭的祭司,無論為誰獻,所獻燔祭牲的皮要歸給那祭司,那是他的。 9任何素祭,無論是在爐中烤的,用煎鍋或鐵盤做成的,都要歸給獻祭的祭司。 10任何素祭,無論是用油調和的,是乾的,都要歸亞倫的子孫,大家均分。」

祭司獻平安祭的責任

11「獻給耶和華平安祭的條例是這樣: 12若有人為感謝獻祭,就要把用油調和的無酵餅、抹了油的無酵薄餅,和用油調勻細麵做成的餅,與感謝祭一同獻上。 13要用有酵的餅,和那為感謝而獻的平安祭,與供物一同獻上。 14他要從每一種供物中拿一個餅,獻給耶和華為舉祭,是要歸給那灑平安祭牲血的祭司。 15為感謝而獻的平安祭的肉,要在獻祭當天吃,一點也不可留到早晨。 16若所獻的是還願祭或甘心祭,要在獻祭當天吃,剩下的,第二天也可以吃。 17第三天,所剩下的祭肉要用火焚燒。 18第三天若吃平安祭的肉,必不蒙悅納,所獻的也不算為祭;這祭物是不潔淨的,凡吃這祭物的,必擔當自己的罪孽。
19「沾了不潔淨之物的肉就不可吃,要用火焚燒。至於其他的肉,凡潔淨的人都可以吃這肉; 20但不潔淨的人若吃了獻給耶和華平安祭的肉,這人必從民中剪除。 21若有人摸了不潔之物,無論是人體的不潔淨,或是不潔的牲畜,或是不潔的可憎之物,再吃了獻給耶和華平安祭的肉,這人必從民中剪除。」
22耶和華吩咐摩西說: 23「你要吩咐以色列人說:牛、綿羊、山羊的脂肪,你們都不可吃。 24自然死去的或被野獸撕裂的,那脂肪可以作別的用途,你們卻萬不可吃。 25任何人吃了獻給耶和華作火祭祭牲的脂肪,這人必從民中剪除。 26在你們一切的住處,無論是鳥或獸的血,你們都不可吃。 27無論誰吃了血,這人必從民中剪除。」
28耶和華吩咐摩西說: 29「你要吩咐以色列人說:獻平安祭給耶和華的,要從他的平安祭中取些供物來獻給耶和華。 30他要親手把獻給耶和華的火祭帶來,要把脂肪和胸帶來,把胸在耶和華面前搖一搖,作為搖祭。 31祭司要把脂肪燒在壇上,但胸要歸給亞倫和他的子孫。 32你們要從平安祭牲中把右腿作為舉祭,送給祭司。 33亞倫子孫中獻平安祭牲的血和脂肪的,要得這右腿,作為他當得的份。 34因為我從以色列人的平安祭中,把這搖祭的胸和這舉祭的腿給亞倫祭司和他子孫,作為他們在以色列人中永遠當得的份。」

祭司責任的結語

35這是從耶和華的火祭中取出,作為亞倫和他子孫受膏的份,就是摩西叫他們前來,給耶和華供祭司職分的那一天開始的。 36這是在摩西膏他們的日子,耶和華吩咐給他們的,作為他們在以色列人中世世代代永遠當得的份。 37這就是燔祭、素祭、贖罪祭、贖愆祭、聖職禮和平安祭的條例, 38都是耶和華在西奈山上吩咐摩西的,也是他在西奈曠野吩咐以色列人獻供物給耶和華的日子所說的。

The Law of the Trespass Offering

1‘Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering (it is most holy): 2In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the trespass offering. And its blood he shall sprinkle all around on the altar. 3And he shall offer from it all its fat. The fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, 4the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove; 5and the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a trespass offering. 6Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy. 7The trespass offering is like the sin offering; there is one law for them both: the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it. 8And the priest who offers anyone’s burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered. 9Also every grain offering that is baked in the oven and all that is prepared in the covered pan, or in a pan, shall be the priest’s who offers it. 10Every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron, to one as much as the other.

The Law of Peace Offerings

11‘This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which he shall offer to the Lord: 12If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, or cakes of blended flour mixed with oil. 13Besides the cakes, as his offering he shall offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering. 14And from it he shall offer one cake from each offering as a heave offering to the Lord. It shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.
15‘The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day it is offered. He shall not leave any of it until morning. 16But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice; but on the next day the remainder of it also may be eaten; 17the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day must be burned with fire. 18And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, nor shall it be imputed to him; it shall be an abomination to him who offers it, and the person who eats of it shall bear guilt.
19‘The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. And as for the clean flesh, all who are clean may eat of it. 20But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord, while he is unclean, that person shall be cut off from his people. 21Moreover the person who touches any unclean thing, such as human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any abominable unclean thing, and who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

Fat and Blood May Not Be Eaten

22And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘You shall not eat any fat, of ox or sheep or goat. 24And the fat of an animal that dies naturally, and the fat of what is torn by wild beasts, may be used in any other way; but you shall by no means eat it. 25For whoever eats the fat of the animal of which men offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, the person who eats it shall be cut off from his people. 26Moreover you shall not eat any blood in any of your dwellings, whether of bird or beast. 27Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

The Portion of Aaron and His Sons

28Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 29“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offering to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offering. 30His own hands shall bring the offerings made by fire to the Lord. The fat with the breast he shall bring, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the Lord. 31And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. 32Also the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 33He among the sons of Aaron, who offers the blood of the peace offering and the fat, shall have the right thigh for his part. 34For the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering I have taken from the children of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the children of Israel by a statute forever.’ ”
35This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons, from the offerings made by fire to the Lord, on the day when Moses presented them to minister to the Lord as priests. 36The Lord commanded this to be given to them by the children of Israel, on the day that He anointed them, by a statute forever throughout their generations.
37This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the consecrations, and the sacrifice of the peace offering, 38which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when He commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai.
