In Hebrew texts 6:1-7 is numbered 5:20-26, and 6:8-30 is numbered 6:1-23. 1The Lord said to Moses: 2“If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the Lord by deceiving a neighbor about something entrusted to them or left in their care or about something stolen, or if they cheat their neighbor, 3or if they find lost property and lie about it, or if they swear falsely about any such sin that people may commit— 4when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found, 5or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering. 6And as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord, their guilt offering, a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. 7In this way the priest will make atonement for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”
The Burnt Offering
8The Lord said to Moses: 9“Give Aaron and his sons this command: ‘These are the regulations for the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar. 10The priest shall then put on his linen clothes, with linen undergarments next to his body, and shall remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar. 11Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean. 12The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it. 13The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.
The Grain Offering
14“ ‘These are the regulations for the grain offering: Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the Lord, in front of the altar. 15The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial6:15 Or representative portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 16Aaron and his sons shall eat the rest of it, but it is to be eaten without yeast in the sanctuary area; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 17It must not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share of the food offerings presented to me. Like the sin offering6:17 Or purification offering; also in verses 25 and 30 and the guilt offering, it is most holy. 18Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it. For all generations to come it is his perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord. Whatever touches them will become holy.6:18 Or Whoever touches them must be holy; similarly in verse 27’ ”
19The Lord also said to Moses, 20“This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he6:20 Or each is anointed: a tenth of an ephah6:20 That is, probably about 3 1/2 pounds or about 1.6 kilograms of the finest flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21It must be prepared with oil on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken6:21 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 22The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely. 23Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”
The Sin Offering
24The Lord said to Moses, 25“Say to Aaron and his sons: ‘These are the regulations for the sin offering: The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. 26The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 27Whatever touches any of the flesh will become holy, and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in the sanctuary area. 28The clay pot the meat is cooked in must be broken; but if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot is to be scoured and rinsed with water. 29Any male in a priest’s family may eat it; it is most holy. 30But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place must not be eaten; it must be burned up.

Sadaka Ya Kuteketezwa
8Bwana akamwambia Mose: 96:9 Law 7:37“Mpe Aroni na wanawe agizo hili: ‘Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa: Sadaka ya kuteketezwa itabaki kwenye moto juu ya madhabahu usiku kucha, mpaka asubuhi, nao moto lazima uwe unaendelea kuwaka juu ya madhabahu. 106:10 Kut 39:27, 28; 28:39-43; Law 1:16; Eze 44:17Kisha kuhani atavaa mavazi yake ya kitani, pamoja na nguo za ndani za kitani mwilini wake, na aondoe majivu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa ambayo moto umeteketeza juu ya madhabahu, na kuyaweka kando ya madhabahu. 116:11 Law 4:12Kisha atayavua mavazi haya na kuvaa mengine, naye achukue yale majivu nje ya kambi na kuyapeleka mahali palipo safi kwa kawaida ya ibada. 126:12 Law 1:7; Kut 29:13; 32:6Moto ulio juu ya madhabahu lazima uwe unaendelea kuwaka, kamwe usizimike. Kila asubuhi kuhani ataongeza kuni na kupanga sadaka ya kuteketezwa juu ya moto, na kuteketeza mafuta ya sadaka za amani juu yake. 136:13 Isa 33:14; Dan 7:10; Mt 25:41Moto lazima uendelee kuwaka juu ya madhabahu mfululizo, kamwe usizimike.
Sadaka Ya Nafaka
146:14 Law 2:1; Hes 6:15; 15:4; 28:13“ ‘Haya ndiyo masharti ya sadaka ya nafaka: Wana wa Aroni wataileta mbele za Bwana, mbele za madhabahu. 156:15 Law 2:1, 9Kuhani atachukua konzi ya unga laini na mafuta, pamoja na uvumba wote ulioko juu ya sadaka ya nafaka, ateketeze sehemu ya kumbukumbu juu ya madhabahu kama harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana. 166:16 Law 2:2-3, 11; 8:31; 10:13; 16:24; 24:9; Eze 44:29; Kut 27:9; 29:11, 31; Hes 18:10Aroni na wanawe watakula sehemu iliyobaki, lakini italiwa bila kutiwa chachu mahali patakatifu, nao wataila kwenye ua wa Hema la Kukutania. 176:17 Hes 5:9; 18:9-10; Kut 29:28; 40:10; Law 7:7; 10:12; 21:22Kamwe haitaokwa na chachu; nimewapa kama fungu lao la sadaka iliyotolewa kwangu kwa moto. Ni takatifu sana, kama vile ilivyo sadaka ya dhambi na ya hatia. 186:18 Law 2:3; 7:6; Hes 18:9-10; 5:9; Mwa 9:12; Kut 30:29Kila mwanaume mzao wa Aroni aweza kuila. Ni fungu lake la kawaida la sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto kwa vizazi vijavyo. Chochote kinachozigusa kitakuwa kitakatifu.’ ”
19Tena Bwana akamwambia Mose, 206:20 Kut 28:41; 16:36; 29:2; Hes 4:16; 5:15; 28:5; Law 23:13“Hii ni sadaka ambayo Aroni na wanawe wanapaswa kuleta kwa Bwana siku atakapotiwa mafuta: sehemu ya kumi ya efa6:20 Sehemu ya kumi ya efa ni sawa na kilo moja. ya unga laini kama sadaka ya kawaida ya nafaka. Nusu yake ataitoa asubuhi na nusu nyingine jioni. 216:21 Law 2:5; 6:22; Kut 28:41; 29:30; Law 1:9; Isa 53:10; Mt 20:28; Dan 9:26Iandae kwa mafuta kwenye kikaango; ilete ikiwa imechanganywa vizuri, na utoe hiyo sadaka ya nafaka ikiwa imevunjwa vipande vipande kuwa harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Bwana. 22Mwanawe atakayeingia mahali pake kama kuhani aliyetiwa mafuta ndiye atakayeiandaa. Ni fungu la kawaida la Bwana, nalo litateketezwa kabisa. 23Kila sadaka ya nafaka ya kuhani itateketezwa kabisa; kamwe haitaliwa.”
