is the law of the guilt offering; it is most holy. 2 The guilt offering is to be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and its blood is to be sprinkled against the altar on all sides. 3 All its fat shall be offered: the fat tail, the fat surrounding the entrails, 4 the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins, and the covering of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys. 5 The priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made to the Lord by fire; it is a guilt offering. 6 Any male among the priests may eat it, but it must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
7 ‘The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the law is the same for both. It belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it. 8 The priest who offers a burnt offering for anyone may keep the hide of the burnt offering for himself. 9 Every grain offering baked in an oven or prepared in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who offers it. 10 But any grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.
11 ‘This is the law of the fellowship offering that someone may offer to the Lord: 12 If he offers it for thanksgiving, then along with this thank offering he is to offer cakes of unleavened bread mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes made of fine flour well-kneaded and mixed with oil. 13 Along with his fellowship offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering of cakes of leavened bread. 14 He is to bring one of each kind of offering as a contribution to the Lord; it will belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the fellowship offering. 15 The meat of his fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; he must not leave any of it until morning.
16 ‘If, however, the sacrifice he offers is the result of a vow or is a freewill offering, it is to be eaten on the day he offers it, and what is left of it may be eaten on the next day. 17 However, any meat of the sacrifice that still remains on the third day must be burned with fire. 18 If any of the meat from his fellowship offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who offered it, because it has become corrupted; the person who eats any of it will incur guilt.
19 ‘Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned with fire. Anyone who is ceremonially clean may eat any other clean meat. 20 But if anyone eats any meat from the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from his people. 21 If anyone touches something unclean—whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable thing—and then eats the meat from the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord, that person must be cut off from his people’.”
22 The Lord said to Moses, 23 “Say to the Israelites: ‘You are not to eat any of the fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat. 24 The fat of an animal that dies naturally or was torn by wild animals may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it. 25 If anyone eats the fat of an animal from which an offering by fire may be made to the Lord, the person who eats it must be cut off from his people. 26 And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal. 27 If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people’.”
28 The Lord said to Moses, 29 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who brings a fellowship offering to the Lord is to bring part of it as his sacrifice to the Lord. 30 With his own hands he is to bring to the Lord the offerings made by fire; he is to bring the fat together with the breast. The breast is to be waved before the Lord as a wave offering. 31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. 32 You are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your fellowship offerings. 33 The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering shall have the right thigh as his portion. 34 From the fellowship offerings of the Israelites, I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution, and have assigned them to Aaron the priest and his sons as their regular share from the Israelites’.”
35 This is the portion of the offerings made to the Lord by fire that were allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests. 36 The Lord commanded these to be given to them by the Israelites on the day He anointed them; it is their regular share for the generations to come.
37 This is the law for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the fellowship offering, 38 which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to bring their offerings to the Lord, in the Wilderness of Sinai.
