Leviticus 7:11-36

11Now thisH2063 is the lawH8451 of the peace offeringH2077H8002 thatH834 one may presentH7126 to the LORDH3068: 12IfH518 he offers itH7126 inH5921 thanksgivingH8426, then along withH5921 the sacrificeH2077 of thanksgivingH8426 he shall offerH7126 unleavenedH4682 cakesH2471 mixedH1101 with olive oilH8081, unleavenedH4682 wafersH7550 coatedH4886 with oilH8081, and well-kneadedH7246 cakesH2471 of fine flourH5560 mixedH1101 with oilH8081.

13AlongH5921 withH5921 his peace offeringH2077H8002 of thanksgivingH8426 he is to presentH7126 an offeringH7133 with cakesH2471 of leavenedH2557 breadH3899. 14FromH4480 the cakes he must presentH7126 oneH259 portion of eachH3605 offeringH7133 as a contributionH8641 to the LORDH3068. It belongsH1961 to the priestH3548 who sprinklesH2236 the bloodH1818 of the peace offeringH8002. 15The meatH1320 of the sacrificeH2077 of his peace offeringH8002 of thanksgivingH8426 must be eatenH398 on the dayH3117 he offers itH7133; noneH3808 of itH4480 may be leftH5117 untilH5704 morningH1242.

16If, howeverH518, the sacrificeH2077 he offersH7133 is a vowH5088 orH176 a freewill offeringH5071, it shall be eatenH398 on the dayH3117 he presentsH7126 his sacrificeH2077, but the remainderH3498 may be eatenH398 onH4480 the next dayH4283. 17But any meatH1320 of the sacrificeH2077 remainingH3498 until the thirdH7992 dayH3117 must be burned upH784H8313. 18IfH518 any ofH398 the meatH1320 from his peace offeringH2077H8002 is eatenH398 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, it will notH3808 be acceptedH7521. It will notH3808 be creditedH2803 to the one who presented itH7126; it shall beH1961 an abominationH6292, and the oneH5315 who eatsH398 of itH4480 shall bearH5375 his iniquityH5771.

19MeatH1320 thatH834 touchesH5060 anythingH3605 uncleanH2931 must notH3808 be eatenH398; it is to be burned upH784H8313. As forH1320 any other meatH1320, anyoneH3605 who is ceremonially cleanH2889 may eat itH398. 20But if anyoneH5315 whoH834 is uncleanH2932 eatsH398 meatH1320 from the peace offeringH2077H8002 thatH834 belongs to the LORDH3068H5921, thatH1931 personH5315 must be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971. 21IfH3588 oneH5315 touchesH5060 anythingH3605 uncleanH2931, whetherH176 humanH120 uncleannessH2932, an uncleanH2931 animalH929, orH176 anyH3605 uncleanH2931, detestable thingH8263, and then eatsH398 any of the meatH1320 of the peace offeringH2077H8002 thatH834 belongs to the LORDH3068, thatH1931 personH5315 must be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971.”

22Then the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 23“SpeakH1696 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and sayH559, ‘You are notH3808 to eatH398 anyH3605 of the fatH2459 of an oxH7794, a sheepH3775, or a goatH5795. 24The fatH2459 of an animal found deadH5038H2459 or mauled by wild beastsH2966 may be usedH6213 for any otherH3605 purposeH4399, but you must notH3808 eatH398 itH398.

25IfH3588 anyoneH3605 eatsH398 the fatH2459 of an animalH929 from whichH4480 a food offeringH801 may be presentedH7126 to the LORDH3068, the oneH5315 who eats itH398 must be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971. 26You must notH3808 eatH398 the bloodH1818 of any birdH5775 or animalH929 in anyH3605 of your dwellingsH4186. 27If anyoneH3605H5315 eatsH398 bloodH1818, thatH1931 personH5315 must be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971.’”

28Then the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 29“SpeakH1696 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and sayH559, ‘Anyone who presentsH7126 a peace offeringH2077H8002 to the LORDH3068 must bringH935 it as his sacrificeH2077H8002 to the LORDH3068. 30With his own handsH3027 he is to bringH935 the food offeringsH801 to the LORDH3068; he shall bringH935 the fatH2459, together withH5921 the breastH2373, and waveH5130 the breastH2373 as a wave offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.

31The priestH3548 is to burnH6999 the fatH2459 on the altarH4196, but the breastH2373 belongs toH1961 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121. 32AndH853 you are to giveH5414 the rightH3225 thighH7785 to the priestH3548 as a contributionH8641 from your peace offeringH2077H8002. 33The sonH1121 of AaronH175 who presentsH7126 the bloodH1818 andH853 fatH2459 of the peace offeringH8002 shall haveH1961 the rightH3225 thighH7785 as a portionH4490.

34

I have takenH3947 from the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 the breastH2373 of the wave offeringH8573 and the thighH7785 of the contributionH8641 of their peace offeringsH2077H8002, and I have givenH5414 themH853 to AaronH175 the priestH3548 and his sonsH1121 as a permanentH5769H854 portionH2706 from the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.’”

35ThisH2063 is the portionH4888 of the food offeringsH801 to the LORDH3068 for AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 since the dayH3117 they were presentedH7126 to serve the LORDH3068 as priestsH3547. 36On the dayH3117 they were anointedH4886, the LORDH3068 commanded thatH6680 thisH834 be givenH5414 themH853 by the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478H854. It is a permanentH5769 portionH2708 for the generations to comeH1755.
