Jan 24 - Leviticus 1-4
Leviticus
1Then the Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying2Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man among you who will offer to the Lord a sacrifice from the cattle, that is, an offering of victims of oxen or sheep3if his offering will be a holocaust, as well as from the herd, he shall offer an immaculate male at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, to make himself pleasing to the Lord4And he shall place his hand on the head of the sacrifice, and so it shall be acceptable and effective, in its expiation5And he shall immolate the calf in the sight of the Lord. And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer its blood, pouring it all around the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle6And having pulled away the skin of the victim, they shall cut up the joints into pieces7and they shall toss fire under the altar, having arranged beforehand a stack of wood8And they shall lay the parts which are cut up in order upon it: namely, the head, and all the things that adjoin to the liver9the intestines and feet having been washed with water. And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a holocaust and as a sweet odor to the Lord10But if the offering is from the flocks, a holocaust either of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without blemish11And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar which looks out toward the north, in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood upon the altar all around12And they shall divide the limbs, the head, and everything that adjoins to the liver. And they shall place them on the wood, under which the fire is to be thrown13Yet truly, the intestines and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest, having offered everything, shall burn it upon the altar as a holocaust and as a most sweet odor to the Lord14But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons15the priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck with the head, and also rupturing the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down over the edge of the altar16Yet truly, the craw of the throat and the feathers he shall cast near the altar at the eastern section, in the place where the ashes are usually poured out17And he shall break its wing joints, but he shall neither cut, nor divide it with metal, and he shall burn it upon the altar, placing fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and an oblation of a most sweet odor to the Lord
1When a soul will offer an oblation of sacrifice to the Lord, his oblation shall be of fine wheat flour, and he shall pour oil over it, and he shall set down frankincense2and he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests. One of them shall take a handful of the flour with oil, as well as all the frankincense, and he shall place it as a memorial upon the altar, as a most sweet odor to the Lord3Then what will remain of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron and his sons, the Holy of holies from the oblations of the Lord4But when you will offer a sacrifice baked in the oven from fine wheat flour, specifically: loaves without leaven, sprinkled with oil, and unleavened wafers, rubbed with oil5if your oblation will be from the frying pan, of flour tempered with oil and without leaven6you shall divide it into little pieces and pour oil over it7But if the sacrifice will be from the oven grating, equally the fine wheat flour shall be sprinkled with oil8When you are offering it to the Lord, you shall deliver it into the hands of the priest9And when he has offered it, he shall take a memorial from the sacrifice and burn it upon the altar as a sweet odor to the Lord10But whatever is left shall be for Aaron and his sons, the Holy of holies from the oblations of the Lord11Every oblation that is offered to the Lord shall be made without leaven; neither shall any leaven or honey be burned with the sacrifice to the Lord12You shall offer only the first-fruits of these along with the gifts. Yet truly, these shall not be placed upon the altar as an odor of sweetness13Whatever sacrifice you will offer, you shall season it with salt; neither shall you take away the salt of the covenant of your God from your sacrifice. In all your oblations, you shall offer salt14But if you will offer a gift of the first-fruits of your grain to the Lord, from ears of grain still green, you shall parch it at the fire, and break it open in the manner of meal. And so shall you offer your first-fruits to the Lord15pouring oil over it, and imposing frankincense, because it is an oblation of the Lord16From this, the priest shall burn, as a memorial of the gift, a portion of the cracked grain and the oil, as well as all of the frankincense
1But if his oblation will be a sacrifice of peace offerings, and he wishes to offer it from the oxen, whether male or female, he shall offer what is immaculate, in the sight of the Lord2And he shall place his hand upon the head of his victim, which shall be immolated at the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony. And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall pour the blood all around the altar3And they shall offer from the sacrifice of peace offerings, as an oblation to the Lord: the fat which covers the vital organs, and whatever fat is interior4the two kidneys with the fat that covers the sides, and the mesh of the liver with the two little kidneys5And they shall burn them upon the altar as a holocaust, placing fire under the wood, as an oblation of a most sweet odor to the Lord6Yet truly, if his oblation and the sacrifice of peace offerings will be from the sheep, whether he will offer a male or a female, they shall be immaculate7If he will offer a lamb in the sight of the Lord8he shall place his hand upon the head of the victim. And it shall be immolated at the vestibule of the tabernacle of the testimony. And the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood all around the altar9And they shall offer from the victim of peace offerings, as a sacrifice to the Lord: the fat, and the entire rum10with the kidneys, and the fat that covers the abdomen, and all the vital organs, and both the little kidneys with the fat that is near the sides, and the mesh of the liver with the little kidneys11And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, as fuel for the fire and as an oblation of the Lord12If his oblation will be a goat, and he will offer it to the Lord13he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it at the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony. And the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood all around the altar14And they shall take from it, to feed the Lord’s fire: the fat which covers the abdomen, and that which covers all the vital organs15the two little kidneys with the mesh that is over them near the sides, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys16And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, as nourishment for the fire and as a most sweet odor. All the fat shall be for the Lord17by a perpetual law, in your generations and in all of your habitations, neither blood nor fat shall you eat at all
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying2Say to the sons of Israel: The soul which will have sinned through ignorance, and concerning any of the commandments of the Lord that he instructed not to be done, if anything at all has been done3if the priest, who is anointed, will have sinned, causing the people to commit a transgression, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin an immaculate calf4And he shall lead it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony in the sight of the Lord. And he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it to the Lord5Likewise, he shall take from the blood of the calf, carrying it into the tabernacle of the testimony6and having dipped his finger into the blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times in the sight of the Lord, opposite the veil of the Sanctuary7And he shall place some of the same blood over the horns of the altar of most pleasing incense to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. Then he shall pour out the remainder of the blood at the base of the altar of holocaust at the entrance of the tabernacle8And, on behalf of the sin, he shall take the fat of the calf, both that which covers the vital organs and all that is interior9the two little kidneys, and the mesh that is on them near the sides, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys10just as it is taken from the calf of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust11Yet truly, the skin and all the flesh, with the head and the feet, and the intestines and the dung12and the remainder of the body, he shall carry away, beyond the camp, to the clean place where the ashes are usually poured out. And he shall burn them upon a stack of wood. There, in the place where the ashes have been poured out, they will be burned13But if all the crowd of Israel will have been ignorant, and through inexperience will have done what is contrary to the commandment of the Lord14and afterwards shall understand their sin: they shall offer a calf on behalf of their sin, and they shall lead it to the door of the tabernacle15And the elders of the people shall place their hands upon its head in the sight of the Lord. And when the calf has been immolated in the sight of the Lord16the priest who is anointed shall carry some of its blood into the tabernacle of the testimony17and he shall dip his finger in it, sprinkling it seven times opposite the veil18And he shall place some of the same blood on the horns of the altar, which is in the presence of the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony. But the remainder of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony19And he shall take all its fat and burn it upon the altar20doing so with this calf in the same manner as he did before. And while the priest is praying for them, the Lord will forgive them21But the calf itself he shall carry away, beyond the camp, and he shall also burn it, just as with the previous calf, because it is for the sin of the multitude22If a leader will have sinned, and through ignorance will have done one of the many things which the law of the Lord prohibits23and afterwards he shall understand his sin: he shall offer an immaculate he-goat from among the goats, as a sacrifice to the Lord24And he shall place his hand upon its head. And when he will have immolated it, in the place where the holocaust is usually slain, in the sight of the Lord, because it is for sin25the priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the victim for sin, touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring out the remainder at its base26Yet truly, the fat he shall burn upon it, just as is usually done with the victims of peace offerings. And the priest shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it27But if a soul from the people of the land will have sinned through ignorance, so as to have done any of those things that the law of the Lord prohibits, and so commit a transgression28and he shall realize his sin: he shall offer an immaculate she-goat29And he shall place his hand upon the head of the victim which is for sin. And he shall immolate it in the place of the holocaust30And the priest shall take some of the blood with his finger, and touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, he shall pour out the remainder at its base31But taking away all the fat, just as it is usually taken away from the victims of peace offerings, he shall burn it upon the altar as a sweet odor to the Lord. And he shall pray for him, and he shall be released from it32But if instead he will offer from the flock a victim for his sin, specifically, an immaculate female sheep33he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it in the place where the victims of holocausts are usually slain34And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, he shall pour out the remainder at its base35Likewise, all of the fat shall be taken away, just as the fat of the ram, which is immolated for peace offerings, is usually taken away. And he shall burn it upon the altar as an incense of the Lord. And he shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it
