THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS

 

Leviticus Chapter 6

1 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 If a soul sins, and commits a trespass against the LORD, and lies to his neighbor about something that was delivered to him for safekeeping, or a security, or something taken by violence, or has deceived his neighbor;

3 Or has found that which was lost, and lies about it, and swears falsely; in any of these things that men do, thereby sinning:

4 Then, because he has sinned, and is guilty, he shall restore what he took by violence, or the thing that he has gotten by deceit, or that which was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing that he found,

5 Or anything about which he has sworn falsely; he shall not only restore it in full, but shall add to it one fifth, and give it to him to whom it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering.

6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, valued by you, for a trespass offering, bring it to the priest:

7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and he shall be forgiven of anything that he has done by which he is guilty.

8 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because it shall burn on the altar all night till morning, and the fire shall be kept burning on the altar.

10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, with his linen britches directly on his body, and take up the ashes of what the fire has consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.

11 And he shall take off those clothes, and put on other clothes, and carry the ashes out the camp to a clean place.

12 And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall lay out the burnt offering on it; and burn the fat of the peace offerings on it.

13 The fire should always be burning on the altar; it should never go out.

14 ¶ And this is the law for the food offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, in front of the altar.

15 And one of them shall take a handful, of the flour of the food offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the food offering, and shall burn it upon the altar as a memorial, as sweet fragrance to the LORD.

16 And the rest of it shall be eaten by Aaron and his sons: it shall be eaten without leaven in the holy place; they shall eat it in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.

17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it to them as their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.

18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: everyone who touches these things shall be holy.

19 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

20 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to the LORD on the day when one is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour as a regular food offering, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.

21 It shall be made with oil in a pan; and when it is baked, you shall bring it in: and you shall offer the baked pieces of the food offering for a sweet savor to the LORD.

22 And the priest among Aaron’s sons who is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute forever to the LORD; it shall be entirely burned.

23 For every food offering for the priest shall be entirely burned: it shall not be eaten.

24 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

25 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed the sin offering will be killed in front of the LORD: it is most holy.

26 The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it: it shall be eaten in the holy place, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.

27 Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy: and when any of its blood is sprinkled on any garment, you shall wash that garment on which it was sprinkled in the holy place.

28 But the earthen vessel in which it was cooked shall be broken: and if it is cooked in a brass pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.

29 All the males among the priests shall eat of it: it is most holy.

30 But no sin offering shall be eaten, if any blood from it is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to make an atonement in the holy place: it shall be burnt in the fire.
