1The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 2“Suppose someone sins by not being faithful to me. They do it by tricking their neighbors. They trick them in connection with something their neighbors have placed in their care. They steal from their neighbors. Or they cheat them. 3Or they find something their neighbors have lost and then tell a lie about it. Or they go to court. They promise to tell the truth. But instead they tell a lie when they are a witness about it. Or they lie when they are witnesses about any other sin like those sins. 4When they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return what they stole. They must give back what they took by cheating their neighbors. They must return what their neighbors placed in their care. They must return the lost property they found. 5They must return anything they told a lie about when they were witnesses in court. They must pay back everything in full. They must add a fifth of its value to it. They must give all of it to the owner on the day they bring their guilt offering. 6He must bring their guilt offering to the priest to pay for their sin. It is an offering to me. They must bring a ram from the flock. It must not have any flaws. It must be worth the required amount of money. 7The priest will sacrifice the ram to pay for their sin. He will do it in my sight. And they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”
More Rules for Burnt Offerings
8The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 9“Give Aaron and the priests in his family line a command. Tell them, ‘Here are some more rules for burnt offerings. The burnt offering must remain on the altar through the whole night. The fire on the altar must be kept burning until morning. 10The priest must put on his linen clothes. He must put on linen underwear next to his body. He must remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has burned up on the altar. He must place them beside the altar. 11Then he must take his clothes off and put others on. He must carry the ashes outside the camp to a “clean” place. 12The fire on the altar must be kept burning. It must not go out. Every morning the priest must add more wood to the fire. He must place the burnt offering on the fire. He must burn the fat of the friendship offerings on it. 13The fire must be kept burning on the altar all the time. It must not go out.
More Rules for Grain Offerings
14“ ‘Here are some more rules for grain offerings. The priests in Aaron’s family line must bring the grain offering to the Lord in front of the altar. 15The priest must take a handful of the finest flour and olive oil. He must add to it all the incense on the grain offering. He must burn that part on the altar. It will remind him that all good things come from the Lord. Its smell pleases the Lord. 16Aaron and the priests in his family line will eat the rest of it. But they must eat it without yeast in the holy area. They must eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 17It must not be baked with yeast added to it. The Lord has given it to the priests as their share of the food offerings presented to him. It is very holy, just like the sin offering and the guilt offering. 18Any priests in Aaron’s family line can eat it. It is their share of the food offerings presented to the Lord. It is their share for all time to come. Anyone who touches these offerings will become holy.’ ”
19The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 20“On the day each high priest in Aaron’s family line is anointed, he must bring an offering to me. He must bring three and a half pounds of the finest flour as a regular grain offering. He must bring half of it in the morning. He must bring the other half in the evening. 21Mix it with olive oil. Cook it on a metal plate. Break it in pieces. Bring it as a grain offering. Its smell pleases the Lord. 22The son of Aaron who will become the next high priest after him will prepare the grain offering. It is the share that must be given to the Lord for all time to come. It must be completely burned up. 23Every grain offering a high priest offers must be completely burned up. It must not be eaten.”
More Rules for Sin Offerings
24The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 25“Speak to Aaron and the priests in his family line. Tell them, ‘Here are some more rules for sin offerings. You must kill the animal for the sin offering in the sight of the Lord. Kill it in the place where the burnt offering is killed. It is very holy. 26The priest who offers it will eat it. He must eat it in the holy area. He must eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 27Anyone who touches any of its meat will become holy. Suppose some of the blood is spilled on someone’s clothes. Then you must wash them in the holy area. 28Break the clay pot the meat is cooked in. But suppose you cook it in a bronze pot. Then you must scrub the pot and rinse it with water. 29Any male in a priest’s family may eat the meat. It is very holy. 30But suppose some of the blood of a sin offering is brought into the tent of meeting. And that blood is brought into the Holy Room to pay for sin. Then that sin offering must not be eaten. It must be burned up.

1続いて主はモーセに命じました。 2-3「借り物や預かり物、担保の品などを返さなかったり、盗んだり、脅し取ったり、落とし物を見つけながらも取った覚えはないと偽るなどして罪を犯した場合は、 4-5その事実がはっきりした日に、取ったものを相手に返し、それに加えて二割の罰金を支払いなさい。また、幕屋に罪を償ういけにえを引いて来なさい。 6その罪に見合ういけにえは、傷のない雄羊一頭である。それを祭司のところへ引いて来る。 7祭司は主の前で罪の償いをし、その者は赦される。」
ささげ物の施行細則
8主はモーセに命じました。 9「アロンとその子らに、焼き尽くすいけにえについての決まりを示しなさい。焼き尽くすいけにえは、祭壇の上で一晩中、焼き続ける。 10翌朝、祭司は亜麻布の下着と上着をつけ、その灰をすっかり集め、祭壇のそばに置く。 11このあと着替えをし、灰を野営地の外のきよい場所に運ぶ。 12祭壇の火はいつも燃やし続け、消してはならない。祭司は毎朝たきぎをくべて、毎日ささげる焼き尽くすいけにえを供え、和解のいけにえの脂肪を焼く。 13祭壇の火は絶やしてはならない。
14穀物の供え物の決まりは次のとおりである。アロンの子らは、祭壇の前に立ち、供え物を主の前にささげる。 15なだめの香りとして、オリーブ油のかかった細かくひいた粉一つかみを、香料全部とともに祭壇で焼きなさい。わたしは喜んでそれを受けよう。 16残りはアロンとその子らの食物となる。幕屋の庭で、パン種を入れずに焼いたパンにして食べなさい。 17念を押すが、焼くときは絶対にパン種を入れてはならない。火で焼くささげ物のうち、この分は祭司に与える。罪の赦しのためのいけにえや、罪過を償ういけにえの場合と同じく、ささげられた全部がきよいとされる。 18アロンの家系で祭司を務める者は、子々孫々に至るまで、これを食べることができる。火で焼く主へのささげ物は、祭司だけが食べられる。」
19-20主はモーセに命じました。「アロンとその子らが油を注がれ、祭司の務めに就く日には、日々の穀物の供え物をささげなさい。細かくひいた上等の小麦粉二・三リットルを、朝と夕方に半分ずつ、 21オリーブ油でこね、鉄板で焼いてささげる。わたしはそれを受け入れる。 22-23祭司の子らは父の跡を継ぐ場合、油を注がれる任命式の日にこれと同じささげ物をする。これは永遠に変わらない定めである。このささげ物は全部を主の前で焼く。ほんの一口でも食べてはならない。」
24主はモーセに告げました。 25「次は、罪の赦しのためのいけにえについて、祭司が知っていなければならない決まりである。このいけにえは最もきよいものだから、焼き尽くすいけにえをほふる場所、主の前でほふる。 26いけにえの儀式を行う祭司は、幕屋の庭でそれを食べる。
27特別に選ばれ、きよくされた者、祭司だけしかその肉にさわれない。そのとき衣服に血がかかったなら聖所内で洗いきよめる。 28煮沸するのに使った容器は、土の器なら壊し、青銅製ならきれいに磨き上げ、よくすすぐ。 29祭司はみな、このささげ物を食べることができるが、それ以外の者は絶対に食べてはいけない。最も聖なるものだからだ。 30しかし、聖所での罪の償いのためにささげるいけにえで、その血を幕屋の中に持って行くいけにえは、祭司といえども食べてはならない。それは、主の前で完全に焼きなさい。
