Leviticus 7:11-34 — Legacy Standard Bible

¹¹‘Now this is the law of the ^asacrifice of peace offerings which shall be brought near to Yahweh. ¹²‘If he brings it near for ^athanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall bring near ^bunleavened cakes mixed with oil and unleavened wafers ¹spread with oil and cakes of well stirred fine flour mixed with oil. ¹³‘With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving, he shall bring near his offering with cakes of ^aleavened bread. ¹⁴‘Of ¹this he shall bring near, one of every offering as a ²contribution to Yahweh; ^ait shall ³belong to the priest who splashes the blood of the peace offerings.

¹⁵‘^aNow as for the flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings, it shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it over until morning. ¹⁶‘But if the sacrifice of his offering is a ^avotive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he brings near his sacrifice, and on the ¹next day what is left of it may be eaten; ¹⁷^abut what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire. ¹⁸‘So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings should ever be eaten on the third day, he who brings it near will not be accepted, and it will not be counted to his benefit. It shall be an ^aoffensive thing, and the person who eats of it will bear his own iniquity.

¹⁹‘Also the flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. ¹As for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh. ²⁰‘^aBut the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to Yahweh, ¹in his uncleanness, that person ^bshall be cut off from his people. ²¹‘^aWhen anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean ¹detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to Yahweh, that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

²²Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²³“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘You shall not eat ^aany fat from an ox, a sheep, or a goat. ²⁴‘Also the fat of an animal which dies and the fat of an animal ^atorn by beasts may be put to any other use, but you must certainly not eat it. ²⁵‘For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which ¹an offering by fire is brought near to Yahweh, even the person who eats shall be cut off from his people. ²⁶‘^aAnd you shall not eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your places of habitation. ²⁷‘Any person who eats any blood, even that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

²⁸Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁹“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘He who brings ^athe sacrifice of his peace offerings near to Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from the sacrifice of his peace offerings. ³⁰‘His own hands are to bring offerings by fire to Yahweh. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the ^abreast may be waved as a wave offering before Yahweh. ³¹‘And the priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but ^athe breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons. ³²‘And you shall give ^athe right thigh to the priest as a ¹contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. ³³‘The one among the sons of Aaron who brings near the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, the right thigh shall be his as his portion. ³⁴‘For I have taken ^athe breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the ¹contribution from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as a perpetual statute taken from the sons of Israel.
