1 And this is the law of the guilt offering {asham: sacrificial restoration}; it is most holy {kodesh kadashim: utmost holiness}.
2 In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering {olah: wholly consumed gift}, they shall slaughter the guilt offering, and its blood he shall throw against the altar {mizbe’ach: place of sacrifice} all around.
3 And all its fat he shall offer from it: the fat tail {alyah: fatty appendage} and the covering fat {hamekasseh: protective layer} over the inward parts.
4 And the two kidneys and the fat {chelev: choicest portion} on them by the loins, and the lobe {yoteret: long lobe} above the liver near the kidneys, he shall remove it.
5 And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a fire offering to the LORD {YHWH, Atonement Receiver}; it is a guilt offering {asham: reparation sacrifice}.
6 Every male among the priests {ba-kohanim: Aaron’s descendants} may eat it; in a holy place {bemaqom kadosh: sacred precinct} it shall be eaten. It is most holy.
7 As the sin offering, so is the guilt offering; one law shall be for them. The priest {kohen: ordained mediator} who makes atonement {yekhaper: ritual covering} with it—for him it shall be.
8 And the priest {kohen: worship minister} who offers the burnt offering of any man—the skin {or: animal hide} of the offering which he has presented—shall belong to the priest as his own.
9 And every grain offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is made in the pan or on the griddle, shall belong to the priest {kohen: officiating minister} who presents {hamakriv: offers the sacrifice} it; to him it shall belong.
10 And every grain offering, whether mixed with oil {shemen: anointing substance} or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron {Aharon: priestly lineage}, each man as his brother.
11 And this is the law {torat: instruction or decree} concerning the sacrifice of the peace offerings which one may offer to the LORD {YHWH, Covenant Sustainer}.
12 If he offers it as a thanksgiving {todah: acknowledgment offering} sacrifice, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes of fine flour {solet: fine sifted flour} thoroughly mixed with oil.
13 Alongside cakes of leavened bread he shall present his offering {korban: gift of approach} with the sacrifice of thanksgiving {todah: grateful acknowledgement} from his peace offerings.
14 And he shall take one loaf from each offering as an elevated contribution to the LORD {YHWH, Worship Receiver}; it shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the fellowship offerings {shelemim: covenant peace}.
15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings {shlamim: fellowship sacrifice} shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it until morning {boker: ritual deadline}.
16 But if his offering is a vow {neder: binding promise} or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents it; and the remainder may be eaten on the next day {mimachorat: following day}.
17 And what is left over from the flesh {basar: animal meat} of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned in the fire {esh: purifying flame}.
18 And if any of the flesh of his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted; the one who offers it will not be reckoned {yehasev: credited} to him, and it will be an abomination {pigul: repulsive offering}, and the soul who eats it will bear his guilt.
19 And the flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned in the fire. As for the flesh, anyone who is clean {tahor: ritually pure} may eat the flesh {basar: animal offering}.
20 And the soul who eats flesh from the sacrifice of the peace offerings {shalemim: communal fellowship} for the LORD {YHWH, Covenant Judge}, while his uncleanness is upon him, that soul shall be cut off from their people.
21 And if a person {nephesh: whole self} touches any unclean thing—whether it is the impurity of a human or an unclean animal or any detestable unclean creature—and then eats from the flesh of the peace offerings that are for the LORD {YHWH, Covenant Lawgiver}, that person shall be cut off from their people.
22 And the LORD {YHWH, Lawgiver} spoke to Moses, saying {leʾemor: quotation marker},
23 Speak to the Israelites {benei yiśrāʾēl: covenant community} and say, “You shall not eat any of the fat {ḥelev: sacrificial portion} of a bull, or of a sheep, or of a goat.”
24 But the fat of a dead animal {nevelah: independent death} and the fat of a torn one may be used for any work {melakhah: permitted work}, but you must not eat it.
25 For anyone who eats the fat from the animal from which one brings a fire offering to the LORD {YHWH, Covenant-Keeper}, that person {nefesh: individual life} shall be cut off from their people.
26 And you shall not eat any blood {dam: life substance} in all your dwellings {mōšəḇōṯēykhem: habitation sites}, whether from bird or from animal.
27 Every person who eats any blood shall be cut off {nikhretah: fully separated} from their people {ameiha: kin-group}.
28 And the LORD {YHWH, Covenant Speaker} spoke to Moses {Mosheh: appointed deliverer}, saying,
29 Speak to the sons of Israel and say, “The one who brings near his sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD {YHWH, Worship Recipient} shall bring his offering to the LORD from his sacrifice of peace offerings {zevach: consecrated gift}.”
30 With his own hands he shall bring the fire offerings of the LORD {YHWH, Divine Recipient}; the fat along with the breast he shall bring, and he shall wave the breast as a wave offering {tenufah: lifted dedication} before the LORD.
31 And the priest shall burn the fat {chelev: choice portion} on the altar, but the breast {chazeh: sacrificial part} shall be for Aaron and for his sons.
32 And the right thigh you shall give as a contribution {terumah: lifted offering} to the priest from your peace offerings {shalmeichem: communal fellowship}.
33 He among the sons of Aaron who presents the blood of the fellowship offerings {shelamim: communal offerings} and the fat—he shall have the right thigh {shok: priestly portion} as his share.
34 For the breast of the wave-offering {tenupah: ritual offering} and the thigh of the heave-offering, I have taken them from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest {kohen: set-apart official} and to his sons as a perpetual statute from the sons of Israel.
35 This is the anointed portion {mishkhat: official share} of Aaron and of his sons from the fire offerings of the LORD {YHWH, Offering Receiver}, on the day He presented them to serve as priests to the LORD.
36 This is what the LORD {YHWH, Commanding Covenant Giver} commanded to be given to them from the sons of Israel on the day He anointed them, as an everlasting statute {chuqat: perpetual command} for their generations.
37 This is the law {torah: authoritative instruction} for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offerings, and the sacrifice of the fellowship offerings {shelamim: offerings of peace}.
38 Which the LORD {YHWH, Lawgiver} commanded Moses at Mount Sinai on the day of the command {tsavto: authoritative instruction} for the sons of Israel to bring their offerings to the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai.
