Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD called unto Moses ,
and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ,
If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD ,
ye shall bring your offering of the cattle ,
even of the herd ,
and of the flock .
*
If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd ,
let him offer a male without blemish :
he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD .
*
And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering ;
and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him .
*
And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD :
and the priests ,
Aaron '
s sons ,
shall bring the blood ,
and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And he shall flay the burnt offering ,
and cut it into his pieces .
*
And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar ,
and lay the wood in order upon the fire :
*
And the priests ,
Aaron '
s sons ,
shall lay the parts ,
the head ,
and the fat ,
in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar :
*
But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water :
and the priest shall burn all on the altar ,
to be a burnt sacrifice ,
an offering made by fire ,
of a sweet savour unto the LORD .
*
And if his offering be of the flocks ,
namely ,
of the sheep ,
or of the goats ,
for a burnt sacrifice ;
he shall bring it a male without blemish .
*
And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD :
and the priests ,
Aaron '
s sons ,
shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar .
*
And he shall cut it into his pieces ,
with his head and his fat :
and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar :
*
But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water :
and the priest shall bring it all ,
and burn it upon the altar :
it is a burnt sacrifice ,
an offering made by fire ,
of a sweet savour unto the LORD .
*
And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls ,
then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves ,
or of young pigeons .
*
And the priest shall bring it unto the altar ,
and wring off his head ,
and burn it on the altar ;
and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar :
*
And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers ,
and cast it beside the altar on the east part ,
by the place of the ashes :
*
And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof ,
but shall not divide it asunder :
and the priest shall burn it upon the altar ,
upon the wood that is upon the fire :
it is a burnt sacrifice ,
an offering made by fire ,
of a sweet savour unto the LORD .
*
And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD ,
his offering shall be of fine flour ;
and he shall pour oil upon it ,
and put frankincense thereon :
*
And he shall bring it to Aaron '
s sons the priests :
and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof ,
and of the oil thereof ,
with all the frankincense thereof ;
and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar ,
to be an offering made by fire ,
of a sweet savour unto the LORD :
*
And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron '
s and his sons ':
it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire .
*
And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven ,
it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil ,
or unleavened wafers anointed with oil .
*
And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan ,
it shall be of fine flour unleavened ,
mingled with oil .
*
Thou shalt part it in pieces ,
and pour oil thereon :
it is a meat offering .
*
And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan ,
it shall be made of fine flour with oil .
*
And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD :
and when it is presented unto the priest ,
he shall bring it unto the altar .
*
And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof ,
and shall burn it upon the altar :
it is an offering made by fire ,
of a sweet savour unto the LORD .
*
And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron '
s and his sons ':
it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire .
*
No meat offering ,
which ye shall bring unto the LORD ,
shall be made with leaven :
for ye shall burn no leaven ,
nor any honey ,
in any offering of the LORD made by fire .
*
As for the oblation of the firstfruits ,
ye shall offer them unto the LORD :
but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour .
*
And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt ;
neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering :
with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt .
*
And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD ,
thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire ,
even corn beaten out of full ears .
*
And thou shalt put oil upon it ,
and lay frankincense thereon :
it is a meat offering .
*
And the priest shall burn the memorial of it ,
part of the beaten corn thereof ,
and part of the oil thereof ,
with all the frankincense thereof :
it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD .
*
And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering ,
if he offer it of the herd ;
whether it be a male or female ,
he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD .
*
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering ,
and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation :
and Aaron '
s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about .
*
And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD ;
the fat that covereth the inwards ,
and all the fat that is upon the inwards ,
*
And the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is on them ,
which is by the flanks ,
and the caul above the liver ,
with the kidneys ,
it shall he take away .
*
And Aaron '
s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice ,
which is upon the wood that is on the fire :

of a sweet savour unto the LORD .
*
And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the LORD be of the flock ;
male or female ,

s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar .
*
And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD ;
the fat thereof ,

*
And the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is upon them ,
which is by the flanks ,

then he shall offer it before the LORD .
*

*
And he shall offer thereof his offering ,
even an offering made by fire unto the LORD ;
the fat that covereth the inwards ,
and all the fat that is upon the inwards ,
*
And the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is upon them ,
which is by the flanks ,
and the caul above the liver ,
with the kidneys ,
it shall he take away .
*
And the priest shall burn them upon the altar :
it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour :
all the fat is the LORD '
S .
*
It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings ,
that ye eat neither fat nor blood .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
saying ,
If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done ,
and shall do against any of them :
*
If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people ;
then let him bring for his sin ,
which he hath sinned ,
a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering .
*
And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD ;
and shall lay his hand upon the bullock '
s head ,
and kill the bullock before the LORD .
*
And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock '
s blood ,
and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation :
*
And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood ,
and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD ,
before the vail of the sanctuary .
*
And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD ,
which is in the tabernacle of the congregation ;
and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering ,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering ;
the fat that covereth the inwards ,
and all the fat that is upon the inwards ,
*
And the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is upon them ,
which is by the flanks ,
and the caul above the liver ,
with the kidneys ,
it shall he take away ,
*
As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings :
and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering .
*
And the skin of the bullock ,
and all his flesh ,
with his head ,
and with his legs ,
and his inwards ,
and his dung ,
*
Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place ,
where the ashes are poured out ,
and burn him on the wood with fire :
where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt .
*
And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance ,
and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly ,
and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should not be done ,
and are guilty ;
*
When the sin ,
which they have sinned against it ,
is known ,
then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin ,
and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD :
and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD .
*
And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock '
s blood to the tabernacle of the congregation :
*
And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood ,
and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD ,
even before the vail .
*
And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD ,
that is in the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering ,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And he shall take all his fat from him ,
and burn it upon the altar .
*
And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering ,
so shall he do with this :
and the priest shall make an atonement for them ,
and it shall be forgiven them .
*
And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp ,
and burn him as he burned the first bullock :
it is a sin offering for the congregation .
*
When a ruler hath sinned ,
and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should not be done ,
and is guilty ;
*
Or if his sin ,
wherein he hath sinned ,
come to his knowledge ;
he shall bring his offering ,
a kid of the goats ,
a male without blemish :
*
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat ,
and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD :
it is a sin offering .
*
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger ,
and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering ,
and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering .
*
And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar ,
as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings :
and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
*
And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance ,
while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done ,
and be guilty ;
*
Or if his sin ,
which he hath sinned ,
come to his knowledge :
then he shall bring his offering ,
a kid of the goats ,
a female without blemish ,
for his sin which he hath sinned .
*
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering ,
and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering .
*
And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger ,
and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering ,
and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar .
*
And he shall take away all the fat thereof ,
as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings ;
and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD ;
and the priest shall make an atonement for him ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
*
And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering ,
he shall bring it a female without blemish .
*
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering ,
and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering .
*
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger ,
and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering ,
and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar :
*
And he shall take away all the fat thereof ,
as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings ;
and the priest shall burn them upon the altar ,
according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD :
and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
*
And if a soul sin ,
and hear the voice of swearing ,
and is a witness ,
whether he hath seen or known of it ;
if he do not utter it ,
then he shall bear his iniquity .
