Leviticus 7:1-27

1“This is the Torah of the trespass offering. It is most holy.

2In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering, he is to slaughter the trespass offering. And he is to splash its blood around on the altar.

3He should offer all of its fat, the fat tail and the fat that covers the innards,

4along with the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, plus the cover on the liver that he is to remove with the kidneys.

5Then the kohen should burn them up as smoke on the altar for an offering made by fire to Adonai. It is a trespass offering.

6Every male among the kohanim may eat it. It is to be eaten in a holy place—it is most holy.

7“As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering, there is one Torah for them: they are for the kohen who makes atonement with them.

8The kohen who offers anyone’s burnt offering, that kohen is to have for himself the hide of the burnt offering which he has offered.

9Every meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is prepared on the flat plate and on the pan, is to belong to the kohen who offers it.

10Every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron equally.

11“Now this is the Torah of the sacrifice of fellowship offerings which may be offered to Adonai.

12If he brings it for a thanksgiving, then he is to present with the sacrifice of thanksgiving matzah cakes mixed with oil, matzah wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour cakes mixed with oil.

13He is to present his offering with the sacrifice of his fellowship offerings for thanksgiving along with cakes of bread with hametz.

14From each he is to offer one out of every offering as a gift to Adonai. It will belong to the kohen who sprinkles the blood of the fellowship offerings.

15The meat of the sacrifice of his fellowship offerings for thanksgiving is to be eaten on the day of his offering. He is not to leave any of it until the morning.

16“But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a freewill offering, it is to be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice. On the next day what remains of it may be eaten.

17But what remains of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day is to be burned up with fire.

18If any of the meat of the sacrifice of his fellowship offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, nor will it be credited to him who offers it. It will be a foul thing—and the soul who eats any from it will bear his own iniquity.

19“The meat that touches any unclean thing is not to be eaten. It is to be burned up with fire. As for the meat, everyone who is clean may eat it,

20but the soul who eats of the meat of the sacrifice of fellowship offerings belonging to Adonai, having his uncleanness on him, that soul is to be cut off from his people.

21If anyone touches any unclean thing, whether the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal or any unclean detestable thing, and eats some of the meat of the sacrifice of fellowship offerings belonging to Adonai, that soul is to be cut off from his people.”

22Adonai spoke to Moses, saying:

23“Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: You are to eat no fat of a bull or sheep or goat.

24The fat of a dead animal and the fat of a torn animal may be used for any other service, but you must not eat it.

25For if anyone eats the fat of the animal from which an offering is made by fire to Adonai, then the soul who eats it is to be cut off from his people.

26“You are not to eat any blood, whether it is from a bird or an animal, in any of your dwellings.

27Whoever it is who consumes any blood, that soul is to be cut off from his people.’”
