Leviticus 7 – NIV & CCBT

New International Version

Leviticus 7:1-38

The Guilt Offering

1“ ‘These are the regulations for the guilt offering, which is most holy: 2The guilt offering is to be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and its blood is to be splashed against the sides of the altar. 3All its fat shall be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the internal organs, 4both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys. 5The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering presented to the Lord. It is a guilt offering. 6Any male in a priest’s family may eat it, but it must be eaten in the sanctuary area; it is most holy.

7“ ‘The same law applies to both the sin offering7:7 Or purification offering; also in verse 37 and the guilt offering: They belong to the priest who makes atonement with them. 8The priest who offers a burnt offering for anyone may keep its hide for himself. 9Every grain offering baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who offers it, 10and every grain offering, whether mixed with olive oil or dry, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.

The Fellowship Offering

11“ ‘These are the regulations for the fellowship offering anyone may present to the Lord:

12“ ‘If they offer it as an expression of thankfulness, then along with this thank offering they are to offer thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in, thin loaves made without yeast and brushed with oil, and thick loaves of the finest flour well-kneaded and with oil mixed in. 13Along with their fellowship offering of thanksgiving they are to present an offering with thick loaves of bread made with yeast. 14They are to bring one of each kind as an offering, a contribution to the Lord; it belongs to the priest who splashes the blood of the fellowship offering against the altar. 15The meat of their fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; they must leave none of it till morning.

16“ ‘If, however, their offering is the result of a vow or is a freewill offering, the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day they offer it, but anything left over may be eaten on the next day. 17Any meat of the sacrifice left over till the third day must be burned up. 18If any meat of the fellowship offering is eaten on the third day, the one who offered it will not be accepted. It will not be reckoned to their credit, for it has become impure; the person who eats any of it will be held responsible.

19“ ‘Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned up. As for other meat, anyone ceremonially clean may eat it. 20But if anyone who is unclean eats any meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord, they must be cut off from their people. 21Anyone who touches something unclean—whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean creature that moves along the ground7:21 A few Hebrew manuscripts, Samaritan Pentateuch, Syriac and Targum (see 5:2); most Hebrew manuscripts any unclean, detestable thing—and then eats any of the meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord must be cut off from their people.’ ”

Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden

22The Lord said to Moses, 23“Say to the Israelites: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats. 24The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it. 25Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which a food offering may be7:25 Or offering is presented to the Lord must be cut off from their people. 26And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal. 27Anyone who eats blood must be cut off from their people.’ ”

The Priests’ Share

28The Lord said to Moses, 29“Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who brings a fellowship offering to the Lord is to bring part of it as their sacrifice to the Lord. 30With their own hands they are to present the food offering to the Lord; they are to bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast before the Lord as a wave offering. 31The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. 32You are to give the right thigh of your fellowship offerings to the priest as a contribution. 33The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering shall have the right thigh as his share. 34From the fellowship offerings of the Israelites, I have taken the breast that is waved and the thigh that is presented and have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as their perpetual share from the Israelites.’ ”

35This is the portion of the food offerings presented to the Lord that were allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests. 36On the day they were anointed, the Lord commanded that the Israelites give this to them as their perpetual share for the generations to come.

37These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering and the fellowship offering, 38which the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai in the Desert of Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelites to bring their offerings to the Lord.

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

利未記 7:1-38

祭司獻贖過祭的條例

1「以下是獻贖過祭的條例。

「贖過祭是至聖的。 2要在殺燔祭牲的地方宰贖過祭祭牲,祭牲的血要灑在祭壇周圍。 3要獻上祭牲的所有脂肪,包括肥尾巴、遮蓋內臟的脂肪、 4兩個腎臟和腎臟上靠近腰部的脂肪以及肝葉。 5祭司要在壇上焚燒這一切,作為獻給耶和華的火祭。這是贖過祭。 6祭司家的任何男子都可以吃剩下的祭肉,但要在聖潔之處吃,因為這是至聖之物。 7祭物要歸主持祭禮的祭司,這一條例也適用於贖罪祭。 8燔祭牲的皮要歸主持祭禮的祭司。 9至於素祭,不論是用爐烤的,還是用平底鍋或煎鍋做的,都要歸主持祭禮的祭司。 10但調油的或乾的素祭要歸亞倫的子孫,由他們均分。

獻平安祭的條例

11「以下是向耶和華獻平安祭的條例。

12「如果有人為感謝耶和華而獻平安祭,除了獻祭牲以外,要一同獻上調油的無酵餅、塗油的無酵薄餅及調油的細麵餅, 13也要一同獻上有酵餅。 14他要從每種餅中各取一個,作為舉祭獻給耶和華。舉祭歸灑平安祭祭牲血的祭司。 15至於祭牲的肉,要在獻祭的當天吃完,不可留到次日早晨。 16如果是自願獻的或為了還願而獻的祭物,要在當天吃祭肉,剩下的可以留到第二天吃。 17但到第三天,必須燒掉剩下的祭肉。 18如果第三天仍然吃,所獻的祭便不蒙悅納,毫無價值,是不潔淨的。吃的人要自擔罪責。

19「祭肉如果接觸到任何不潔之物,就不可以吃,要燒掉。潔淨的人都可以吃平安祭的祭肉。 20如果有人不潔淨,卻吃獻給耶和華的平安祭祭肉,要將他從民中剷除。 21如果有人接觸到人或獸的不潔之物,或任何不潔的可憎之物,又吃獻給耶和華的平安祭祭肉,要將他從民中剷除。」

22耶和華對摩西說: 23「你把以下條例告訴以色列人。

「你們不可吃牛、綿羊或山羊的脂肪。 24自然死亡或被野獸咬死的動物的脂肪也不可吃,但可以作其他用途。 25無論誰吃了獻給耶和華的火祭祭牲的脂肪,都要將他從民中剷除。 26你們無論住在哪裡,都不可吃鳥和獸的血。 27凡吃血的,要將他從民中剷除。」

28耶和華對摩西說: 29「你把以下條例告訴以色列人。

「凡向耶和華獻平安祭的,都要從平安祭中取出一份獻給耶和華作禮物。 30他要親手將這獻給耶和華的火祭帶來,將祭牲的脂肪和胸肉帶來,在耶和華面前將胸肉搖一搖,當作搖祭獻上。 31祭司要把脂肪放在壇上焚燒,胸肉歸亞倫及其子孫。 32你們要把祭牲的右腿獻為舉祭,歸給祭司。 33要把右腿歸給亞倫子孫中獻平安祭的血和脂肪的那位祭司。 34因為耶和華已經從以色列人獻的平安祭中,把作搖祭的胸肉和作舉祭的腿肉賜給祭司亞倫及其子孫。他們在以色列人中要永遠享有這一份。 35亞倫及其子孫受膏為祭司事奉耶和華開始,在獻給耶和華的火祭中,這是他們應得之份。 36祭司受膏之日,耶和華就命令以色列人把這部分祭肉分給他們,這是他們世世代代應得之份。」

37以上是獻燔祭、素祭、贖罪祭、贖過祭、平安祭和授聖職時所獻之祭的條例。 38這些條例是耶和華在西奈山上吩咐摩西的。同一天,摩西命令以色列人在西奈曠野向耶和華獻祭。
