More Rules for Guilt Offerings
1“ ‘Here are some more rules for guilt offerings. The guilt offering is very holy. 2You must kill the animal for the guilt offering where you kill the animal for the burnt offering. Splash its blood against the sides of the altar. 3Offer all its fat. It must include the fat tail and the fat that covers the inside parts. 4It must include both kidneys with the fat on them next to the lower back muscles. It must also include the long part of the liver. Remove all of it together with the kidneys. 5The priest must burn all of it on the altar. It is a food offering presented to the Lord. It is a guilt offering. 6Any male in a priest’s family can eat it. But he must eat it in the holy area. It is very holy.
7“ ‘The same law applies to the sin offering and the guilt offering. Both of them belong to the priest who offers them to pay for sin. 8The priest who offers a burnt offering for anyone can keep its hide for himself. 9Every grain offering baked in an oven belongs to the priest who offers it. So does every grain offering cooked in a pan or on a metal plate. 10Every grain offering belongs equally to all the priests in Aaron’s family line. That is true whether it is mixed with olive oil or it is dry.
More Rules for Friendship Offerings
11“ ‘Here are some more rules for friendship offerings anyone may bring to the Lord.
12“ ‘Suppose they offer a friendship offering to show they are thankful. Then together with the thank offering they must offer thick loaves of bread. They must make them without yeast. They must mix them with olive oil. Or they must offer thin loaves of bread made without yeast. They must spread olive oil on them. Or they must offer thick loaves of bread made out of the finest flour. They must add olive oil to it. They must work the flour and prepare it well. 13They must bring another friendship offering along with their thank offering. It should be thick loaves of bread made with yeast. 14They must bring one of each kind of bread as an offering. One kind is made with yeast. The other is not. Both of them are a gift to the Lord. They belong to the priest who splashes the blood of the friendship offering against the altar. 15The person must eat the meat from their thank offering on the day they offer it. They must not leave any of it until morning.
16“ ‘But suppose they bring a friendship offering to keep a promise they have made. Or suppose they bring an offering they choose to give. Then they must eat the sacrifice on the day they offer it. But if anything is left over, they may eat it the next day. 17They must burn up any meat from the sacrifice left over until the third day. 18Suppose they eat any meat from the friendship offering on the third day. Then the Lord will not accept the offering. He will not accept it as a gift from them. It is not pure. If they eat any of it, they will be held responsible for it.
19“ ‘They must not eat meat that touches anything “unclean.” They must burn it up. Anyone “clean” may eat any other meat. 20But suppose an “unclean” person eats any meat from the friendship offering that belongs to the Lord. Then they will be separated from their people. 21Suppose someone touches something “unclean.” It does not matter whether it comes from a human being who is not “clean.” It does not matter whether it comes from an “unclean” animal. It does not matter whether it comes from something hated and “unclean.” And suppose they eat any of the meat from the friendship offering that belongs to the Lord. Then they will be separated from their people.’ ”
Israel Must Not Eat Fat or Blood
22The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 23“Speak to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats. 24Do not eat the fat of any animal found dead. Do not eat the fat of an animal that wild animals have torn apart. But you can use the fat for any other purpose. 25Suppose an animal has been sacrificed as a food offering to the Lord. No one may eat its fat. If they do, they will be separated from their people. 26No matter where you live, do not eat the blood of any bird or animal. 27Anyone who eats blood must be separated from their people.’ ”
The Share That Belongs to the Priests
28The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 29“Speak to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘Suppose someone brings a friendship offering to the Lord. Then they must bring part of it as their special gift to the Lord. 30They must bring it with their own hands. It is a food offering presented to the Lord. They must bring the fat together with the breast. They must lift the breast up and wave it in front of the Lord as a wave offering. 31The priest will burn the fat on the altar. But the breast belongs to Aaron and the priests in his family line. 32Give the right thigh from your friendship offerings to the priest as a gift. 33The priest who offers the blood and fat from the friendship offering must be given the right thigh. It is his share. 34I, the Lord, have taken the breast that is waved and the thigh that is given. I have taken them from the friendship offerings of the Israelites. And I have given them to Aaron the priest and the priests in his family line. The offerings will be their share from the Israelites for all time to come.’ ”
35That is the part of the food offerings presented to the Lord. It is given to Aaron and the priests in his family line. It was given to Aaron and his sons on the day they were set apart to serve the Lord as priests. 36On the day they were anointed, the Lord commanded the Israelites to give that part to them. For all time to come, it will be the share of Aaron and the priests in his family line.
37These are the rules for burnt offerings, grain offerings, sin offerings, guilt offerings and friendship offerings. They are also the rules for the offerings that are given when priests are being prepared to serve the Lord. 38They are the rules the Lord gave Moses on Mount Sinai. He gave them on the day he commanded the Israelites to bring their offerings to the Lord. That took place in the Sinai Desert.
Sadaka Ya Hatia
17:1 Law 5:15; Eze 40:39; Kut 29:27; Law 6:17; 21:22“ ‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya sadaka ya hatia, ambayo ni takatifu sana: 2Sadaka ya hatia itachinjiwa mahali pale ambapo sadaka ya kuteketezwa huchinjiwa, nayo damu yake itanyunyizwa pande zote za madhabahu. 37:3 Kut 29:13; Law 3:4-9Mafuta yake yote yatatolewa sadaka: mafuta ya mkia na mafuta yale yanayofunika sehemu za ndani, 47:4 Law 3:15figo zote mbili pamoja na mafuta yanayozizunguka yaliyo karibu na kiuno na yale yanayofunika ini, ambayo yataondolewa pamoja na hizo figo. 57:5 Kut 29:13; Tit 2:14; Ebr 9:28Kuhani atayateketeza juu ya madhabahu kuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto. Hii ni sadaka ya hatia. 67:6 Law 6:18; Eze 42:13; Law 3:3; Za 93:5; Law 14:13Mwanaume yeyote katika jamaa ya kuhani aweza kuila, lakini lazima iliwe mahali patakatifu; ni takatifu sana.
77:7 Kut 30:10; Law 5:15; 2:3; 6:17; 14:13; 2Fal 12:16; 1Kor 9:13; 10:18; Hes 5:8“ ‘Sheria hii ya sadaka ya hatia ni sawasawa na ile ya sadaka ya dhambi: Nyama ya yule mnyama aliyetolewa sadaka ni ya yule kuhani anayesimamia ibada ya upatanisho. 8Kuhani anayetoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa ajili ya mtu yeyote anaweza kuichukua ngozi ya mnyama yule aliyetolewa iwe yake. 97:9 Law 2:4-7; Hes 18:9; Eze 44:29Kila sadaka ya nafaka iliyookwa jikoni au kupikwa katika sufuria au katika kikaangio itakuwa ya kuhani anayeitoa. 10Nayo kila sadaka ya nafaka, iwe imechanganywa na mafuta au iko kavu, itakuwa ya wana wa Aroni, nayo itagawanywa sawa kati yao.
Sadaka Ya Amani
11“ ‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya sadaka ya amani ambayo mtu aweza kuileta kwa Bwana:
127:12 Law 2:1-4; 22:29; Za 50:14; 54:6; 107:22; 116:17; Yer 33:11; 44:19; Hes 6:19“ ‘Ikiwa mtu atatoa sadaka ya amani kwa ajili ya kuonyesha shukrani, pamoja na sadaka hii ya shukrani, atatoa maandazi yasiyotiwa chachu yaliyochanganywa na mafuta, mikate myembamba isiyotiwa chachu iliyopakwa mafuta, maandazi ya unga laini uliokandwa vizuri na kuchanganywa na mafuta. 137:13 Kut 34:22; Law 23:17; Amo 4:5Pamoja na sadaka hii ya amani ya shukrani ataleta sadaka ya maandazi yaliyotengenezwa kwa chachu. 147:14 Hes 18:8Ataleta moja ya kila aina ya andazi kama sadaka, matoleo kwa Bwana; hii ni ya kuhani anayenyunyiza damu ya sadaka ya amani. 157:15 Kut 12:10; Law 22:30; Ebr 3:13-15Nyama ya sadaka ya amani kwa ajili ya shukrani lazima iliwe siku iyo hiyo inapotolewa; hutabakiza kitu chochote mpaka asubuhi.
167:16 Mwa 28:20; Kum 12:6; 23:21-23; Kut 35:29; Law 19:5-9; 22:18-21; 23:38; Hes 15:3; 29:39; Za 54:6; Eze 46:12“ ‘Lakini kama sadaka yake ni kwa ajili ya nadhiri au ni sadaka ya hiari, sadaka hiyo italiwa siku hiyo inapotolewa, lakini chochote kinachobakia kinaweza kuliwa kesho yake. 177:17 Kut 12:10; Law 19:6Nyama yoyote ya sadaka inayobaki mpaka siku ya tatu lazima iteketezwe kwa moto. 187:18 2Nya 33:16; Law 5:1; 19:7; Hes 18:27; Mwa 4:4-5; Mit 15:8; 21:27; Yer 6:20; Amo 5:22Kama nyama yoyote ya sadaka ya amani italiwa siku ya tatu, Bwana hataikubali. Haitahesabiwa kwake huyo aliyeitoa, kwa kuwa ni najisi. Mtu atakayekula sehemu yake yoyote atahesabiwa hatia.
19“ ‘Nyama ile inayogusa chochote ambacho ni najisi kwa kawaida ya ibada kamwe haitaliwa, ni lazima iteketezwe kwa moto. Kuhusu nyama nyingine, mtu yeyote aliye safi kwa kawaida ya ibada anaweza kuila. 207:20 Law 5:3; 22:3-7; Mwa 17:14; Law 15:3Lakini kama mtu yeyote najisi akila nyama yoyote ya sadaka ya amani iliyotolewa kwa Bwana, huyo mtu lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake. 217:21 Law 5:2; 11:24-28; 11:10-13; Kum 14:3; Eze 4:14Kama mtu yeyote akigusa kitu kilicho najisi, iwe ni uchafu wa mwanadamu, au mnyama najisi, au kitu chochote kilicho najisi, kitu cha kuchukiza, kisha akala nyama yoyote ya sadaka ya amani iliyotolewa kwa Bwana, mtu huyo ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.’ ”
Kula Mafuta Na Kunywa Damu Kwakatazwa
22Bwana akamwambia Mose, 237:23 Law 17:13; Kum 14:4; 1Sam 2:29“Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Msile mafuta yoyote ya ngʼombe, kondoo wala mbuzi. 247:24 Kut 22:31Mafuta ya mnyama aliyekutwa amekufa au ameraruliwa na mnyama pori yanaweza kutumika kwa kazi nyingine yoyote, lakini kamwe msiyale. 25Mtu yeyote alaye mafuta ya mnyama ambaye ametolewa sadaka kwa Bwana kwa moto ni lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake. 267:26 Mwa 9:4; Law 3:17; 17:10-14; Kum 12:16; 1Sam 14:33; Eze 44:15; Mdo 15:20Popote mtakapoishi, kamwe msinywe damu ya ndege yeyote wala ya mnyama. 277:27 Mwa 9:4; Mdo 15:20-29Ikiwa mtu yeyote atakunywa damu, mtu huyo lazima akatiliwe mbali na watu wake.’ ”
Fungu La Makuhani
28Bwana akamwambia Mose, 29“Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Mtu yeyote aletaye sadaka ya amani kwa Bwana ataleta sehemu ya sadaka hiyo kama dhabihu yake kwa Bwana. 307:30 Kut 29:24; Hes 6:20; Law 8:27; 9:21Ataleta sadaka kwa mikono yake mwenyewe iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto; ataleta mafuta ya huyo mnyama pamoja na kidari, naye atainua hicho kidari mbele za Bwana kuwa sadaka ya kuinuliwa. 317:31 Kut 29:27, 31Kuhani atayateketeza hayo mafuta juu ya madhabahu, lakini kidari kitakuwa cha Aroni na wanawe. 327:32 Kut 29:27; Law 10:14-15; Hes 5:9; 6:20; 18:18Paja la kulia la sadaka zako za amani utampa kuhani kama matoleo. 33Mwana wa Aroni atoaye damu na mafuta ya sadaka ya amani ndiye atakayepewa paja hilo la kulia kuwa fungu lake. 347:34 Kut 29:22, 27; Law 10:15; Hes 6:20; 18:18-19; 1Sam 9:24Kutoka kwenye sadaka za amani za Waisraeli, mimi Mungu nimepokea kidari kile kilichoinuliwa pamoja na lile paja lililotolewa, nami nimevitoa kwa kuhani Aroni na wanawe kuwa fungu lao la kawaida kutoka kwa Waisraeli.’ ”
35Hii ndiyo sehemu ya sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto, ambazo zilitengwa kwa ajili ya Aroni na wanawe siku ile walipowekwa wakfu ili kumtumikia Bwana katika kazi ya ukuhani. 367:36 Law 8:12, 30; Kut 40:13-15; Ebr 7:18-28; 8:1-13Siku ile walipotiwa mafuta, Bwana aliagiza kwamba Waisraeli wawape hili kama fungu lao la kawaida kwa vizazi vijavyo.
377:37 Law 6:9, 14; Kut 29:31; Law 6:20Basi haya ndiyo masharti kuhusu sadaka ya kuteketezwa, sadaka ya nafaka, sadaka ya dhambi, sadaka ya hatia, sadaka ya kuwekwa wakfu, na sadaka ya amani, 387:38 Law 26:46; Hes 36:13; Kum 4:5; 29:1-3; Kut 19:11ambayo Bwana alimpa Mose juu ya Mlima Sinai siku ile alipowaagiza Waisraeli walete sadaka zao kwa Bwana, katika Jangwa la Sinai.
