Jan 25 - Leviticus 5-7
Leviticus
1If a soul will have sinned, and heard the voice of one testifying under oath, and he is a witness because either he has seen it himself, or he is aware of it: if he does not reveal it, he shall carry his iniquity2The soul that will have touched anything unclean, either that which has been killed by a beast, or that which has died on its own, or any other creeping thing, and will have forgotten its uncleanness, he is guilty and has committed a transgression3And if he will have touched anything from the uncleanness of man, according to every kind of impurity by which he may be defiled, and having forgotten it, afterwards realizes it, he shall be guilty of committing a transgression4The soul who swears and offers from his own lips that he would do either evil or good, and who will have bound the same with an oath and with his own words, and, having forgotten it, afterwards understands his transgression5let him do penance for his sin6and let him offer from the flocks a female lamb or a she-goat, and the priest shall pray for him and for his sin7But if he is not able to offer a beast, let him offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for sin, and the other for a holocaust8And he shall give them to the priest, who, offering the first for sin, shall twist back its head to the little wings, so that it adheres to the neck and is not entirely broken off9And he shall sprinkle some of its blood at the side of the altar. But whatever will remain, he shall cause it to drip down to the base, because it is for sin10Yet truly, the other he shall burn as a holocaust, just as is usually done. And the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and he shall be released from it11But if his hand is unable to offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he shall offer, for his sin, the tenth part of an ephah of fine wheat flour. He shall not put oil in it, nor place upon it any frankincense, because it is for sin12And he shall deliver it to the priest, who shall take a handful of it, and shall burn it upon the altar as a memorial for him who offered it13praying for him and making atonement. Yet truly, the remaining part he himself shall have as a gift14And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying15If a soul, by mistake, shall have transgressed the ceremonies in those things that are sanctified to the Lord, he shall offer for his offense an immaculate ram from the flocks, such as can be bought for two shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary16And he shall make restitution for the damage that he has brought, and he shall add a fifth part more, delivering it to the priest, who shall pray for him while offering the ram, and he shall be released from it17If a soul will have sinned through ignorance, and will have done one of those things which the law of the Lord prohibits, and, being guilty of sin, understands his iniquity18he shall offer from the flocks an immaculate ram to the priest, according to the measure and estimation of the sin, who shall pray for him, because he did it unknowingly, and he shall be released from it19because by mistake he transgressed against the Lord
1The Lord spoke to Moses, saying2The soul who will have sinned, and, despising the Lord, will have denied to his neighbor the deposit which he had entrusted to his safekeeping, or who will have extorted anything by force, or who will have made a false accusation3or who will have found a lost thing and then also withheld it by swearing falsely, or who will have done any other of the many things by which men usually sin4being convicted of the offense, he shall restor5all that he wanted to obtain by fraud, the whole plus an additional fifth part, to the owner against whom he brought the damage6Then, on behalf of his sin, he shall offer an immaculate ram from the flock, and he shall give it to the priest, according to the estimation and measure of the offense7And he shall pray for him in the sight of the Lord, and he shall be released from any one of those things that he did when he sinned8And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying9Instruct Aaron and his sons: This is the law of a holocaust. It shall be burned upon the altar, all night until morning. The fire shall be from the same altar10The priest shall be vested with the tunic and the linen undergarments. And he shall take up the ashes of that which the devouring fire has consumed, and, placing them next to the altar11he shall strip off his former vestments, and being clothed with others, he shall carry them beyond the camp, and he shall cause them to be consumed, even to glowing embers, in a very clean place12But the fire on the altar shall burn always, for the priest shall nourish it by placing wood under it each day in the morning. And, laying down the holocaust, he shall burn the fat of the peace offerings upon it13This is the perpetual fire which shall never fail upon the altar14This is the law of the sacrifice and the libations, which the sons of Aaron shall offer in the sight of the Lord, and before the altar15The priest shall take a handful of fine wheat flour, which has been sprinkled with oil, and all the frankincense, which has been placed upon the flour, and he shall burn it upon the altar as a memorial of most sweet odor to the Lord16And the remaining portion of the flour, Aaron shall eat with his sons, without leaven. And he shall eat it in the holy place, in the atrium of the tabernacle17Yet for this reason, it shall not be leavened, because part of it is offered as an incense of the Lord. The Holy of holies shall it be, just as what is offered on behalf of sin and of transgression18Only the males of the stock of Aaron shall eat it. This shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations concerning the sacrifices of the Lord. All who will touch these shall be sanctified19And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying20This is the oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they must offer to the Lord in the day of their anointing. They shall offer a tenth part of an ephah of fine wheat flour as a perpetual sacrifice, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening21It shall be sprinkled with oil and fried in a frying pan. Then it shall be offered hot, as a most sweet odor to the Lord22by the priest who by law succeeds his father. And it shall be entirely burned on the altar23For every sacrifice of the priest shall be consumed by fire; neither shall anyone eat from it24Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying25Say to Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the victim for sin. In the place where the holocaust is offered, it shall be immolated in the sight of the Lord. It is the Holy of holies26The priest who offers it shall eat it in the holy place, in the atrium of the tabernacle27Whatever will touch its flesh shall be sanctified. If a garment will be sprinkled with its blood, it shall be washed in a holy place28Then the earthen vessel, in which it was soaked, shall be broken. But if the vessel will be of brass, it shall be scoured and washed with water29Every male of priestly descent shall feed on its flesh, because it is the Holy of holies30For the victim that is slain for sin, whose blood is carried into the tabernacle of the testimony, for expiation in the Sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but it shall be consumed by fire
1Likewise, this is the law of the sacrifice for a transgression. It is the Holy of holies2Therefore, where the holocaust is immolated, the victim for a transgression shall also be slain. Its blood shall be poured out all around the altar3They shall offer from it: the rump, and the fat that covers the vital organs4the two little kidneys, and the fat that is near the sides, and the mesh of the liver with the little kidneys5And the priest shall burn them upon the altar. It is the incense of the Lord on behalf of a transgression6Every male of priestly descent shall feed on this flesh in a holy place, because it is the Holy of holies7Just as the sacrifice for sin is offered, so also for a transgression; one law shall be for both sacrifices. It shall belong to the priest who offers it8The priest who offers the victim of holocaust shall have its skin9And every sacrifice of fine wheat flour which is baked in the oven, and whatever is prepared on the oven grating or in the frying pan, shall be for the priest who offers it10Whether these will be sprinkled with oil, or left dry, an equal measure shall be divided to each one of the sons of Aaron11This is the law of the victim of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord12If the oblation will be an act for giving thanks, they shall offer bread without leaven sprinkled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine wheat flour fried, and cakes sprinkled and mixed with oil13and also, leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, which is immolated for peace offerings14Of these, one shall be offered to the Lord as the first-fruits, and one shall be for the priest who will pour out the blood of the victim15The flesh of it shall be eaten on the same day; neither shall any of it remain until morning16If anyone, by a vow or of his own accord, will have offered a sacrifice, it shall be eaten in a similar manner on the same day. But then if any of it will have remained until tomorrow, it is lawful to eat it17Then whatever will be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire18If anyone will have eaten from the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation will be nullified; neither will it benefit the one who offered it. But instead, whatever soul will contaminate itself with such foods will be guilty of a betrayal19The flesh that has touched anything unclean shall not be eaten, but it shall be burnt with fire. He that is clean will feed on it20If a soul which is polluted will have eaten from the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall perish from his people21And whoever will have touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of anything which is able to defile, and who will have eaten from this kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his people22And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying23Say to the sons of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat24The fat of a carcass that has died on its own, or of an animal that has been seized by a wild beast, you shall have for various uses25If anyone will have eaten the fat which ought to be offered as a burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish from his people26Likewise, you shall not take as food the blood of any animals at all, whether of birds or beasts27Every soul that will have eaten blood shall perish from his people28And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying29Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: Whoever offers a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him also offer at the same time a sacrifice, that is, its libations30He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. And when he will have offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest31who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons32Likewise also, the right shoulder of the victim of peace offerings shall fall to the priest as first-fruits33Among the sons of Aaron, whoever will have offered the blood and the fat, the same one shall also have the right shoulder for his portion34So then, the breast that is lifted up, and the shoulder that is separated, I have taken from the sons of Israel, from their victims of peace offerings, and I have given these to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a law in perpetuity, from all the people of Israel35This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, by the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, so that they may fulfill the priesthood36and this is what the Lord instructed to be given to them by the sons of Israel, as a perpetual observance in their generations37This is the law of the holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for transgression, and for consecration, and for the victims of peace offerings38which the Lord appointed to Moses on mount Sinai, when he commanded the sons of Israel to offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai
