和解のいけにえ
1和解（主への感謝）のいけにえの場合は、雄牛でも雌牛でも、どこにも傷のないものをささげなければならない。 2いけにえをささげる人は、幕屋の入口でその牛の頭に手を置き、ほふる。祭司がその血を祭壇の回りに振りかける。 3-5次に内臓を覆う脂肪、二つの腎臓とその上を覆う腰の脂肪、胆のうを主の前で焼く。わたしはそのいけにえを喜ぶ。
6和解のいけにえに羊かやぎを使うときは、傷のないものであれば、雄でも雌でもかまわない。 7-8羊の場合は、天幕の入口でその頭に手を置き、殺す。祭司は血を祭壇の回りに振りかけ、 9-11背骨に沿って取り除いた脂肪、内臓を覆う脂肪、二つの腎臓とその上を覆う腰の脂肪、胆のうを、火によるいけにえとしてささげなさい。 12そのささげ物がやぎの場合、 13幕屋の入口でその頭に手を置き、ほふる。祭司は血を祭壇の回りに振りかけ、 14-16火によるいけにえとして、内臓を覆う脂肪、二つの腎臓とその上を覆う腰の脂肪、胆のうを祭壇にささげなさい。このいけにえをわたしは喜ぶ。脂肪は全部、主のものだから、 17あなたがたは脂肪も血も食べてはならない。これはイスラエルの永遠のおきてである。」
