Lev 7
1
This is the law of the sacrifice of peace-offering, which they shall bring to the
Lord.
2
If a man should offer it for praise, then shall he bring, for the sacrifice of praise,
loaves of fine flour made up with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and
fine flour kneaded with oil.
3
With leavened bread he shall offer his gifts, with the peace-offering of praise.
4
And he shall bring one of all his gifts, a separate offering to the Lord: it shall
belong to the priest who pours forth the blood of the peace-offering.
5
And the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offering of praise shall be his, and it
shall be eaten in the day in which it is offered: they shall not leave of it till
the morning.
6
And if it be a vow, or he offer his gift of his own will, on whatever day he shall
offer his sacrifice, it shall be eaten, and on the morrow.
7
And that which is left of the flesh of the sacrifice till the third day, shall be
consumed with fire.
8
And if he do at all eat of the flesh on the third day, it shall not be accepted for
him whom offers: it shall not be reckoned to him, it is pollution; and whatever soul
shall eat of it, shall bear his iniquity.
9
And whatever flesh shall have touched any unclean thing, it shall not be eaten, it
shall be consumed with fire; every one that is clean shall eat the flesh.
10
And whatever soul shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offering which
is the Lord’s, and his uncleanness be upon him, that soul shall perish from his people.
11
And whatever soul shall touch any unclean thing, either of the uncleanness of a man,
or of unclean quadrupeds, or any unclean Gr. abomination abominable thing, and shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of
the peace-offering,
which is the Lord’s, that soul shall perish from his people.
12
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
13
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no fat of oxen or sheep or
goats.
14
And the fat of such animals as have died of themselves, or have been seized of beasts,
may be employed for any work; but it shall not be eaten for food.
15
Every one that eats fat off the beasts, from which he will bring a burnt-offering
to the Lord—that soul shall perish from his people.
16
You shall eat no blood in all your habitations, either of beasts or of birds.
17
Every soul that shall eat blood, that soul shall perish from his people.
18
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
19
You shall also speak to the children of Israel, saying, He who offers a sacrifice
of peace-offering, shall bring his gift to the Lord also from the sacrifice of peace-offering.
20
His hands shall bring the burnt-offerings to the Lord; the fat which is on the breast
and the lobe of the liver, he shall bring them, so as to set them for a gift before
the Lord.
21
And the priest shall offer the fat upon the altar, and the breast shall be Aaron’s
and his sons,
22
and you shall give the right shoulder for a choice piece to the priest of your sacrifices
of peace-offering.
23
He who offers the blood of the peace-offering, and the fat, of the sons of Aaron,
his shall be the right shoulder for a portion.
24
For I have taken the Gr. breast of offering placed on the altar wave-breast and Or, heave shoulder; The word afairema seems
to denote: 1. a thing separated; 2. a
choice piece offered; 3. any offering shoulder of separation from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of your peace-offerings,
and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons, a perpetual ordinance due
from the children of Israel.
25
This is the anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons, their portion of the
burnt-offerings of the Lord, in the day in which he brought them forward to minister
as priests to the Lord;
26
as the Lord commanded to give to them in the day in which he anointed them of the
sons of Israel, a perpetual statute through their generations.
27
This is the law of the whole-burnt-offerings, and of sacrifice, and of sin-offering,
and of offering for transgression, and of the sacrifice of consecration, and of the
sacrifice of peace-offering;
28
as the Lord commanded Moses in the mount Sina, in the day in which he commanded the
children of Israel to offer their gifts before the Lord in the wilderness of Sina.
