Leviticus 7:7-27

⁷The regulation is the same for the offerings to enable people to be forgiven for the sins they have committed and the offerings for when they are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. The meat of those offerings belongs to the priest who offers them in order that the people will be forgiven.

⁸The priest who slaughters an animal that will be completely burned on the altar is permitted to keep the animal's hide for himself.

⁹Offerings of things made from grain that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or ◄in a shallow pan/on a griddle► belong to the priest who makes those offerings for another person.

¹⁰And offerings of things made from grain, whether they were mixed with olive oil or not, also belong to the sons of Aaron.”

¹¹These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people make to maintain fellowship with Yahweh:

¹²“If you bring an offering to thank Yahweh, along with the animal that you slaughter you must offer loaves of bread made with olive oil mixed with the flour but without yeast, and wafers that are made without yeast but with olive oil smeared on them, and loaves made from fine flour with olive oil well mixed with the flour.

¹³Along with that offering to thank Yahweh, you must bring an offering of loaves made with yeast.

¹⁴You must bring one of each kind for an offering to Yahweh, but they belong to the priest who sprinkles against the altar the blood of the animal that is slaughtered as an offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.

¹⁵The meat of that offering must be eaten on the day that it is offered; none of it should be left to be eaten on the next day.

¹⁶However, if your offering is the result of a solemn promise that you made to Yahweh, or if it is an offering that you make ◄voluntarily/without being required to►, you are permitted to eat some of the meat on the day it is offered, but anything that is left may be eaten on the next day.

¹⁷But any meat that is left until the third day must be completely burned.

¹⁸If any meat from the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh is eaten on the third day, Yahweh will not accept that offering; it will be useless to offer it, because Yahweh will consider that it is worthless. Anyone who eats some of it will have to pay a penalty to Yahweh.

¹⁹Meat that touches something that God considers to be impure must not be eaten; it must be completely burned. Anyone who has performed the rituals to become acceptable to God is allowed to eat other meat which has been offered as a sacrifice.

²⁰But if anyone who has not performed those rituals eats some of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people.

²¹If anyone touches something that God considers to be impure and very displeasing to him, whether it is from a human or from an animal, and then he eats any of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people.”

²²Yahweh also said to Moses/me:

²³“Say this to the Israeli people: Do not eat any of the fat of cattle or sheep or goats.

²⁴The fat of an animal that is found dead or that has been killed by a wild animal may be used for other purposes, but you must not eat it.

²⁵Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering has been made to Yahweh must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people.

²⁶And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.

²⁷If anyone eats blood, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people.”
