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 :
it is an offering made by 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 ,
he shall offer it without blemish .
*
If he offer a lamb for his offering ,
then shall he offer it before the LORD .
*
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering ,
and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation :
and Aaron '
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 whole rump ,
it shall he take off hard by the backbone ;
and 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 it upon the altar :
it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD .
*
And if his offering be a goat ,
then he shall offer it before the LORD .
*
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it ,
and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation :
and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about .
*
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 .
*
Or if a soul touch any unclean thing ,
whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast ,
or a carcase of unclean cattle ,
or the carcase of unclean creeping things ,
and if it be hidden from him ;
he also shall be unclean ,
and guilty .
*
Or if he touch the uncleanness of man ,
whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal ,
and it be hid from him ;
when he knoweth of it ,
then he shall be guilty .
*
Or if a soul swear ,
pronouncing with his lips to do evil ,
or to do good ,
whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath ,
and it be hid from him ;
when he knoweth of it ,
then he shall be guilty in one of these .
*
And it shall be ,
when he shall be guilty in one of these things ,
that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing :
*
And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned ,
a female from the flock ,
a lamb or a kid of the goats ,
for a sin offering ;
and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin .
*
And if he be not able to bring a lamb ,
then he shall bring for his trespass ,
which he hath committed ,
two turtledoves ,
or two young pigeons ,
unto the LORD ;
one for a sin offering ,
and the other for a burnt offering .
*
And he shall bring them unto the priest ,
who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first ,
and wring off his head from his neck ,
but shall not divide it asunder :
*
And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar ;
and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar :
it is a sin offering .
*
And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering ,
according to the manner :
and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
*
But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves ,
or two young pigeons ,
then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering ;
he shall put no oil upon it ,
neither shall he put any frankincense thereon :
for it is a sin offering .
*
Then shall he bring it to the priest ,
and the priest shall take his handful of it ,
even a memorial thereof ,
and burn it on the altar ,
according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD :
it is a sin offering .
*
And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these ,
and it shall be forgiven him :
and the remnant shall be the priest '
s ,
as a meat offering .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
If a soul commit a trespass ,
and sin through ignorance ,
in the holy things of the LORD ;
then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks ,
with thy estimation by shekels of silver ,
after the shekel of the sanctuary ,
for a trespass offering :
*
And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing ,
and shall add the fifth part thereto ,
and give it unto the priest :
and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
*
And if a soul sin ,
and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD ;
though he wist it not ,
yet is he guilty ,
and shall bear his iniquity .
*
And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock ,
with thy estimation ,
for a trespass offering ,
unto the priest :
and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
*
It is a trespass offering :
he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
If a soul sin ,
and commit a trespass against the LORD ,
and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep ,
or in fellowship ,
or in a thing taken away by violence ,
or hath deceived his neighbour ;
*
Or have found that which was lost ,
and lieth concerning it ,
and sweareth falsely ;
in any of all these that a man doeth ,
sinning therein :
*
Then it shall be ,
because he hath sinned ,
and is guilty ,
that he shall restore that which he took violently away ,
or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten ,
or that which was delivered him to keep ,
or the lost thing which he found ,
*
Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely ;
he shall even restore it in the principal ,
and shall add the fifth part more thereto ,
and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth ,
in the day of his trespass offering .
*
And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD ,
a ram without blemish out of the flock ,
with thy estimation ,
for a trespass offering ,
unto the priest :
*
And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD :
and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Command Aaron and his sons ,
saying ,
This is the law of the burnt offering :
It is the burnt offering ,
because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning ,
and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it .
*
And the priest shall put on his linen garment ,
and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh ,
and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar ,
and he shall put them beside the altar .
*
And he shall put off his garments ,
and put on other garments ,
and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place .
*
And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it ;
it shall not be put out :
and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning ,
and lay the burnt offering in order upon it ;
and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings .
*
The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar ;
it shall never go out .
*
And this is the law of the meat offering :
the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD ,
before the altar .
*
And he shall take of it his handful ,
of the flour of the meat offering ,
and of the oil thereof ,
and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering ,
and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour ,
even the memorial of it ,
unto the LORD .
*
And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat :
with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place ;
in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it .
*
It shall not be baken with leaven .
I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire ;
it is most holy ,
as is the sin offering ,
and as the trespass offering .
*
All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it .
It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire :
every one that toucheth them shall be holy .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons ,
which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed ;
the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual ,
half of it in the morning ,
and half thereof at night .
*
In a pan it shall be made with oil ;
and when it is baken ,
thou shalt bring it in :
and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the LORD .
*
And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it :
it is a statute for ever unto the LORD ;
it shall be wholly burnt .
*
For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt :
it shall not be eaten .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons ,
saying ,
This is the law of the sin offering :
In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD :
it is most holy .
*
The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it :
in the holy place shall it be eaten ,
in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy :
and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment ,
thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place .
*
But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken :
and if it be sodden in a brasen pot ,
it shall be both scoured ,
and rinsed in water .
*
All the males among the priests shall eat thereof :
it is most holy .
*
And no sin offering ,
whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place ,
shall be eaten :
it shall be burnt in the fire .
*
Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering :
it is most holy .
*
In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering :
and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar .
*
And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof ;
the rump ,
and the fat that covereth the inwards ,
*
And the two kidneys ,
and the fat that is on them ,
which is by the flanks ,
and the caul that is above the liver ,
with the kidneys ,
it shall he take away :
*
And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD :
it is a trespass offering .
*
Every male among the priests shall eat thereof :
it shall be eaten in the holy place :
it is most holy .
*
As the sin offering is ,
so is the trespass offering :
there is one law for them :
the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it .
*
And the priest that offereth any man '
s burnt offering ,
even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered .
*
And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven ,
and all that is dressed in the fryingpan ,
and in the pan ,
shall be the priest '
s that offereth it .
*
And every meat offering ,
mingled with oil ,
and dry ,
shall all the sons of Aaron have ,
one as much as another .
*
And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings ,
which he shall offer unto the LORD .
*
If he offer it for a thanksgiving ,
then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil ,
and unleavened wafers anointed with oil ,
and cakes mingled with oil ,
of fine flour ,
fried .
*
Besides the cakes ,
he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings .
*
And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto the LORD ,
and it shall be the priest '
s that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings .
*
And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered ;
he shall not leave any of it until the morning .
*
But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow ,
or a voluntary offering ,
it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice :
and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten :
*
But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire .
*
And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day ,
it shall not be accepted ,
neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it :
it shall be an abomination ,
and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity .
*
And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten ;
it shall be burnt with fire :
and as for the flesh ,
all that be clean shall eat thereof .
*
But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings ,
that pertain unto the LORD ,
having his uncleanness upon him ,
even that soul shall be cut off from his people .
*
Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing ,
as the uncleanness of man ,
or any unclean beast ,
or any abominable unclean thing ,
and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings ,
which pertain unto the LORD ,
even that soul shall be cut off from his people .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
saying ,
Ye shall eat no manner of fat ,
of ox ,
or of sheep ,
or of goat .
*
And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself ,
and the fat of that which is torn with beasts ,
may be used in any other use :
but ye shall in no wise eat of it .
*
For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast ,
of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD ,
even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people .
*
Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood ,
whether it be of fowl or of beast ,
in any of your dwellings .
*
Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood ,
even that soul shall be cut off from his people .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
saying ,
He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings .
*
His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire ,
the fat with the breast ,
it shall he bring ,
that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD .
*
And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar :
but the breast shall be Aaron '
s and his sons '.
*
And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings .
*
He among the sons of Aaron ,
that offereth the blood of the peace offerings ,
and the fat ,
shall have the right shoulder for his part .
*
For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings ,
and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel .
*
This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron ,
and of the anointing of his sons ,
out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire ,
in the day when he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest '
s office ;
*
Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel ,
in the day that he anointed them ,
by a statute for ever throughout their generations .
*
This is the law of the burnt offering ,
of the meat offering ,
and of the sin offering ,
and of the trespass offering ,
and of the consecrations ,
and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings ;
*
Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai ,
in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD ,
in the wilderness of Sinai .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Take Aaron and his sons with him ,
and the garments ,
and the anointing oil ,
and a bullock for the sin offering ,
and two rams ,
and a basket of unleavened bread ;
*
And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And Moses did as the LORD commanded him ;
and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And Moses said unto the congregation ,
This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done .
*
And Moses brought Aaron and his sons ,
and washed them with water .
*
And he put upon him the coat ,
and girded him with the girdle ,
and clothed him with the robe ,
and put the ephod upon him ,
and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod ,
and bound it unto him therewith .
*
And he put the breastplate upon him :
also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim .
*
And he put the mitre upon his head ;
also upon the mitre ,
even upon his forefront ,
did he put the golden plate ,
the holy crown ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And Moses took the anointing oil ,
and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein ,
and sanctified them .
*
And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times ,
and anointed the altar and all his vessels ,
both the laver and his foot ,
to sanctify them .
*
And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron '
s head ,
and anointed him ,
to sanctify him .
*
And Moses brought Aaron '
s sons ,
and put coats upon them ,
and girded them with girdles ,
and put bonnets upon them ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And he brought the bullock for the sin offering :
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering .
*
And he slew it ;
and Moses took the blood ,
and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger ,
and purified the altar ,
and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar ,
and sanctified it ,
to make reconciliation upon it .
*
And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards ,
and the caul above the liver ,
and the two kidneys ,
and their fat ,
and Moses burned it upon the altar .
*
But the bullock ,
and his hide ,
his flesh ,
and his dung ,
he burnt with fire without the camp ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And he brought the ram for the burnt offering :
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram .
*
And he killed it ;
and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about .
*
And he cut the ram into pieces ;
and Moses burnt the head ,
and the pieces ,
and the fat .
*
And he washed the inwards and the legs in water ;
and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar :
it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour ,
and an offering made by fire unto the LORD ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And he brought the other ram ,
the ram of consecration :
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram .
*
And he slew it ;
and Moses took of the blood of it ,
and put it upon the tip of Aaron '
s right ear ,
and upon the thumb of his right hand ,
and upon the great toe of his right foot .
*
And he brought Aaron '
s sons ,
and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear ,
and upon the thumbs of their right hands ,
and upon the great toes of their right feet :
and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about .
*
And he took the fat ,
and the rump ,
and all the fat that was upon the inwards ,
and the caul above the liver ,
and the two kidneys ,
and their fat ,
and the right shoulder :
*
And out of the basket of unleavened bread ,
that was before the LORD ,
he took one unleavened cake ,
and a cake of oiled bread ,
and one wafer ,
and put them on the fat ,
and upon the right shoulder :
*
And he put all upon Aaron '
s hands ,
and upon his sons '
hands ,
and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD .
*
And Moses took them from off their hands ,
and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering :
they were consecrations for a sweet savour :
it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD .
*
And Moses took the breast ,
and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD :
for of the ram of consecration it was Moses '
part ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And Moses took of the anointing oil ,
and of the blood which was upon the altar ,
and sprinkled it upon Aaron ,
and upon his garments ,
and upon his sons ,
and upon his sons '
garments with him ;
and sanctified Aaron ,
and his garments ,
and his sons ,
and his sons '
garments with him .
*
And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons ,
Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation :
and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations ,
as I commanded ,
saying ,
Aaron and his sons shall eat it .
*
And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire .
*
And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days ,
until the days of your consecration be at an end :
for seven days shall he consecrate you .
*
As he hath done this day ,
so the LORD hath commanded to do ,
to make an atonement for you .
*
Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days ,
and keep the charge of the LORD ,
that ye die not :
for so I am commanded .
*
So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses .
*
And it came to pass on the eighth day ,
that Moses called Aaron and his sons ,
and the elders of Israel ;
*
And he said unto Aaron ,
Take thee a young calf for a sin offering ,
and a ram for a burnt offering ,
without blemish ,
and offer them before the LORD .
*
And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak ,
saying ,
Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering ;
and a calf and a lamb ,
both of the first year ,
without blemish ,
for a burnt offering ;
*
Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings ,
to sacrifice before the LORD ;
and a meat offering mingled with oil :
for to day the LORD will appear unto you .
*
And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation :
and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD .
*
And Moses said ,
This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do :
and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you .
*
And Moses said unto Aaron ,
Go unto the altar ,
and offer thy sin offering ,
and thy burnt offering ,
and make an atonement for thyself ,
and for the people :
and offer the offering of the people ,
and make an atonement for them ;
as the LORD commanded .
*
Aaron therefore went unto the altar ,
and slew the calf of the sin offering ,
which was for himself .
*
And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him :
and he dipped his finger in the blood ,
and put it upon the horns of the altar ,
and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar :
*
But the fat ,
and the kidneys ,
and the caul above the liver of the sin offering ,
he burnt upon the altar ;
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp .
*
And he slew the burnt offering ;
and Aaron '
s sons presented unto him the blood ,
which he sprinkled round about upon the altar .
*
And they presented the burnt offering unto him ,
with the pieces thereof ,
and the head :
and he burnt them upon the altar .
*
And he did wash the inwards and the legs ,
and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar .
*
And he brought the people '
s offering ,
and took the goat ,
which was the sin offering for the people ,
and slew it ,
and offered it for sin ,
as the first .
*
And he brought the burnt offering ,
and offered it according to the manner .
*
And he brought the meat offering ,
and took an handful thereof ,
and burnt it upon the altar ,
beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning .
*
He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings ,
which was for the people :
and Aaron '
s sons presented unto him the blood ,
which he sprinkled upon the altar round about ,
*
And the fat of the bullock and of the ram ,
the rump ,
and that which covereth the inwards ,
and the kidneys ,
and the caul above the liver :
*
And they put the fat upon the breasts ,
and he burnt the fat upon the altar :
*
And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD ;
as Moses commanded .
*
And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people ,
and blessed them ,
and came down from offering of the sin offering ,
and the burnt offering ,
and peace offerings .
*
And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and came out ,
and blessed the people :
and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people .
*
And there came a fire out from before the LORD ,
and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat :
which when all the people saw ,
they shouted ,
and fell on their faces .
*
And Nadab and Abihu ,
the sons of Aaron ,
took either of them his censer ,
and put fire therein ,
and put incense thereon ,
and offered strange fire before the LORD ,
which he commanded them not .
*
And there went out fire from the LORD ,
and devoured them ,
and they died before the LORD .
*
Then Moses said unto Aaron ,
This is it that the LORD spake ,
saying ,
I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me ,
and before all the people I will be glorified .
And Aaron held his peace .
*
And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan ,
the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron ,
and said unto them ,
Come near ,
carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp .
*
So they went near ,
and carried them in their coats out of the camp ;
as Moses had said .
*
And Moses said unto Aaron ,
and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar ,
his sons ,
Uncover not your heads ,
neither rend your clothes ;
lest ye die ,
and lest wrath come upon all the people :
but let your brethren ,
the whole house of Israel ,
bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled .
*
And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
lest ye die :
for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you .
And they did according to the word of Moses .
*
And the LORD spake unto Aaron ,
saying ,
*
Do not drink wine nor strong drink ,
thou ,
nor thy sons with thee ,
when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation ,
lest ye die :
it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations :
*
And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy ,
and between unclean and clean ;
*
And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses .
*
And Moses spake unto Aaron ,
and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar ,
his sons that were left ,
Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire ,
and eat it without leaven beside the altar :
for it is most holy :
*
And ye shall eat it in the holy place ,
because it is thy due ,
and thy sons '
due ,
of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire :
for so I am commanded .
*
And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place ;
thou ,
and thy sons ,
and thy daughters with thee :
for they be thy due ,
and thy sons '
due ,
which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel .
*
The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat ,
to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD ;
and it shall be thine ,
and thy sons '
with thee ,
by a statute for ever ;
as the LORD hath commanded .
*
And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering ,
and ,
behold ,
it was burnt :
and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar ,
the sons of Aaron which were left alive ,
saying ,
*
Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place ,
seeing it is most holy ,
and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation ,
to make atonement for them before the LORD ?
*
Behold ,
the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place :
ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place ,
as I commanded .
*
And Aaron said unto Moses ,
Behold ,
this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD ;
and such things have befallen me :
and if I had eaten the sin offering to day ,
should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD ?
*
And when Moses heard that ,
he was content .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron ,
saying unto them ,
