[and when it is] baken, thou shalt bring it in: [and] the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer [for] a 22 sweet savour unto the LORD. And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: [it is] a statute for ever 23 unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt. For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be

eaten.

24 25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This [is] the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin 26 offering be killed before the LORD: it [is] most holy. The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congre27 gation. Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprink28 led in the holy place. But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken and if it be sodden in a brazen 29 pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water. All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it [is] most holy. 30 And no sin offering, whereof [any] of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile [withal] in the holy [place,] shall be eaten it shall be burnt in the fire.

IKEWISE this [is] the law of the trespass offering: it [is] most holy. In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar. 3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the 4 fat that covereth the inwards, And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which [is] by the flanks, and the caul [that is] above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take 5 away: And the priest shall burn them upon the altar [for] an offering made by fire unto the LORD it [is] a trespass 6 offering. Every male among the priests shall eat thereof; 7 it shall be eaten in the holy place it [is] most holy. As the sin offering [is,] so [is] the trespass offering: [there is] one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement there8 with shall have [it.] And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, [even] the priest shall have to himself the skin 9 of the burnt offering which he hath offered. And all the meat

offering that is baken in the oven, (except that part reserved by God, chap. ii. 2, 9.) and all that is dressed in the frying 10 pan, and in the pan, shall be the priests that offereth it. And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one [as much] as another, it shall be equally divided among all the priests.

And this [is] the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, 12 which he shall offer unto the LORD. If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, 13 fried. Beside the cakes, he shall offer [for] his offering leav ened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace of14 ferings. And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation [for] an heave offering unto the LORD, [and] it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings. 15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall 16 not leave any of it until the morning. But if the sacrifice of his offering [be] a vow, offered in performance of a vow, or a voluntary offering, by way of thankfulness for some mercy received, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten: 17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third 18 day shall be burnt with fire, lest it should putrify. And if [any] of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it, as an acceptable service to God, but accounted as if it had not been offered at all; it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall 19 bear the punishment of his iniquity. And the flesh of the peace offerings that toucheth any unclean [thing] shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire and as for the flesh which abides clean, and is fit to be eaten, all that be clean shall eat thereof.

20

But the soul that eateth [of] the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that [pertain] unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his 21 people. (See Gen. xiii. 14.) Moreover, the soul that shall touch any unclean [thing, as] the uncleanness of man, or [any] unclean beast, or any abominable unclean [thing,] and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which [pertain] unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

22 23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall cat no manner of fat, 24 of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts,

may be used in any other use but ye shall in no wise eat 25 of it. For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which

men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the 26 soul that eateth [it] shall be cut off from his people. Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, [whether it be] of fowl 27 or of beast, in any of your dwellings. Whatsoever soul [it be] that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

28 29 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the.children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD, that portion which was given out of his peace offerings, shall bring his oblation to the taberna30 cle unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may 31 be waved [for] a wave offering before the LORD. And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar but the breast shall 32 be Aaron's and his sons'. And the right shoulder shall ye

give unto the priest [for] an heave offering of the sacrifices 33 of your peace offerings. He among the sons of Aaron, that

offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall 34 have the right shoulder for [his] part. For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for 35 ever from among the children of Israel. This [is the portion] of the anointing of Aaron, or, which he had by reason of his anointing, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day [when] he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office, from 36 that day forward for ever; Which the LORD commaded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, [by] a statute for ever throughout their gener

37

ations.

This [is] the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings; 38 Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.

AND the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take Aaron

and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two 3 rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle 4 of the congregation. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto 5 the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Moses

said unto the congregation, This [is] the thing which the 6 LORD commanded to be done. And Moses brought Aaron 7 and his sons, and washed them with water. And he put on him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound [it] 8 unto him therewith. And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim, 9 And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, [even] upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, 10 the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses. And

Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and 11 all that [was] therein, and sanctified them. And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify 12 them. And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's 13 head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.

14

And he brought the bullock for the sin offering and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bul15 lock for the sin offering. And he slew [it ;] and Moses took the blood, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to 16 make reconciliation upon it. And he took all the fat that [was] upon the inwards, and the caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned [it] upon 17 the altar. But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.

18

And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the

19 ram. And he killed [it ;] and Moses sprinkled the blood 20 upon the altar round about. And he cut the ram into pieces; 21 and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. And

22

he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it [was] a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, [and] an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

And he brought the other rain, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the 23 ram. And he slew [it ;] and Moses took of the blood of it, and put [it] upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right 24 foot. And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 25 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that [was] upon the inwards, and the caul [above] the liver, and the 26 two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder: And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that [was] before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put [them] on the fat, and upon 27 the right shoulder: And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and

upon his sons' hands, and waved them [for] a wave offering 28 before the LORD. And Moses took them from off their hands,

and burnt [them] on the altar upon the burnt offering: they [were] consecrations for a sweet savour: it [is] an offering 29 made by fire unto the LORD. And Moses took the breast, and waved it [for] a wave offering before the LORD: [for] of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD commanded Moses.

30

31

And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which [was] upon the altar, and sprinkled [it] upon Aaron, [and] upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments, with him; and sanctified Aaron, [and] his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that [is] in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall 32 eat it. And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread, shall ye burn with fire.

83

And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation [in] seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end for seven days shall he consecrate 34 you. As he hath done this day, [so] the LORD hath com35 manded to do, to make an atonement for you. Therefore

shall ye abide [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congre
