Uayiqrah (Leviticus) — 7

Further Instructions for the Guilt Offering

1 These are the instructions for the guilt offering. It is most Qadash. 

2 The animal sacrificed as a guilt offering must be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered, and its blood must be splattered against all sides of the altar. 

3 The Kuhan will then offer all its fat on the altar, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, 

4 the two kidneys and the fat around them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver. These are to be removed with the kidneys, 

5 and the Kuhanym will burn them on the altar as a special gift presented to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. This is the guilt offering. 

6 Any male from a Kuhan’s family may eat the meat. It must be eaten in a sacred place, for it is most Qadash.

7 “The same instructions apply to both the guilt offering and the sin offering, both belong to the Kuhan who uses them to purify someone, making that person right with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. 

8 In the case of the burnt offering, the Kuhan may keep the skin of the sacrificed animal. 

9 Any grain offering that has been baked in an oven, prepared in a pan, or cooked on a griddle belongs to the Kuhan who presents it. 

10 All other grain offerings, whether made of dry flour or flour moistened with olive oil, are to be shared equally among all the Kuhanym, the descendants of Aarun.

Further Instructions for the Shalum Offering

11 “These are the instructions regarding the different kinds of Shalum offerings that may be presented to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. 

12 If you present your Shalum offering as an expression of thanksgiving, the usual animal sacrifice must be accompanied by various kinds of bread made without yeast—thin cakes mixed with olive oil, wafers spread with oil, and cakes made of choice flour mixed with olive oil. 

13 This Shalum offering of thanksgiving must also be accompanied by loaves of bread made with yeast. 

14 One of each kind of bread must be presented as a gift to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. It will then belong to the Kuhan who splatters the blood of the Shalum offering against the altar. 

15 The meat of the Shalum offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the same day it is offered. None of it may be saved for the next morning.

16 “If you bring an offering to fulfill a vow or as a voluntary offering, the meat must be eaten on the same day the sacrifice is offered, but whatever is left over may be eaten on the second day. 

17 Any meat left over until the third day must be completely burned up. 

18 If any of the meat from the Shalum offering is eaten on the third day, the person who presented it will not be accepted by  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. You will receive no credit for offering it. By then the meat will be contaminated; if you eat it, you will be punished for your sin.

19 “Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean may not be eaten; it must be completely burned up. The rest of the meat may be eaten, but only by people who are ceremonially clean. 

20 If you are ceremonially unclean and you eat meat from a Shalum offering that was presented to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, you will be cut off from the community. 

21 If you touch anything that is unclean (whether it is man's defilement or an unclean animal or any other unclean, detestable thing) and then eat meat from a Shalum offering presented to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, you will be cut off from the community.”

The Forbidden Blood and Fat

22 Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar to Musha, 

23 “Give the following instructions to the people of Yashar'AL. You must never eat fat, whether from cattle, sheep, or goats. 

24 The fat of an animal found dead or torn to pieces by wild animals must never be eaten, though it may be used for any other purpose. 

25 Anyone who eats fat from an animal presented as a special gift to  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, will be cut off from the community. 

26 No matter where you live, you must never consume the blood of any bird or animal. 

27 Anyone who consumes blood will be cut off from the community.”

28 Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar to Musha, 

29 “Give the following instructions to the people of Yashar'AL. When you present a Shalum offering to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, bring part of it as a gift to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. 

30 Present it to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 YAHUAH with your own hands as a special gift to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. Bring the fat of the animal, together with the breast, and lift up the breast as a special offering to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. 

31 Then the Kuhan will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aarun and his descendants. 

32 Give the right thigh of your Shalum offering to the Kuhan as a gift. 

33 The right thigh must always be given to the Kuhan who offers the blood and the fat of the Shalum offering. 

34 For I have reserved the breast of the special offering and the right thigh of the sacred offering for the Kuhanym. It is the permanent right of Aarun and his descendants to share in the Shalum offerings brought by the people of Yashar'AL. 

35 This is their rightful share. The special gifts presented to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH have been reserved for Aarun and his descendants from the time they were set apart to serve  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH as Kuhanym. 

36 On the day they were anointed,  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH commanded the Yasharalym to give these portions to the Kuhanym as their permanent share from generation to generation.”

37 These are the instructions for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, as well as the ordination offering and the Shalum offering. 

38 So 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gave these instructions to Musha on Mount Sinai when he commanded the Yasharalym to present their offerings to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH in the wilderness of Sinai.
