Majority Standard Bible
1 And the LORD said to Moses,
2 “If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him or stolen, or if he extorts his neighbor
3 or finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that a man might commit—
4 once he has sinned and becomes guilty, he must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost property he found,
5 or anything else about which he has sworn falsely. He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value, and pay it to the owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.
6 Then he must bring to the priest his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock.
7 In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”
8 Then the LORD said to Moses,
9 “Command Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the hearth of the altar all night, until morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.
10 And the priest shall put on his linen robe and linen undergarments, and he shall remove from the altar the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed and place them beside it.
11 Then he must take off his garments, put on other clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place.
12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it must not be extinguished. Every morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings on it.
13 The fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not be extinguished.
14 Now this is the law of the grain offering: Aaron’s sons shall present it before the LORD in front of the altar.
15 The priest is to remove a handful of fine flour and olive oil, together with all the frankincense from the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
16 Aaron and his sons are to eat the remainder. It must be eaten without leaven in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
17 It must not be baked with leaven; I have assigned it as their portion of My food offerings. It is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
18 Any male among the sons of Aaron may eat it. This is a permanent portion from the food offerings to the LORD for the generations to come. Anything that touches them will become holy.”
19 Then the LORD said to Moses,
20 “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons must present to the LORD on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.
21 It shall be prepared with oil on a griddle; you are to bring it well-kneaded and present it as a grain offering broken in pieces, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
22 The priest, who is one of Aaron’s sons and will be anointed to take his place, is to prepare it. As a permanent portion for the LORD, it must be burned completely.
23 Every grain offering for a priest shall be burned completely; it is not to be eaten.”
24 And the LORD said to Moses,
25 “Tell Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before the LORD; it is most holy.
26 The priest who offers it shall eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
27 Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in a holy place.
28 The clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled must be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze pot, the pot must be scoured and rinsed with water.
29 Any male among the priests may eat it; it is most holy.
30 But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place; it must be burned.
KJV
1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, [and] give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
8 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This [is] the law of the burnt offering: It [is] the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
14 ¶ And this [is] the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.
15 And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which [is] upon the meat offering, and shall burn [it] upon the altar [for] a sweet savour, [even] the memorial of it, unto the LORD.
16 And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.
17 It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it [unto them for] 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 for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
19 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
20 This [is] the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
21 In a pan it shall be made with oil; [and when it is] baken, thou shalt bring it in: [and] the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer [for] a sweet savour unto the LORD.
22 And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: [it is] a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt.
23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.
24 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This [is] the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD: it [is] most holy.
26 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
28 But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
29 All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it [is] most holy.
30 And no sin offering, whereof [any] of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile [withal] in the holy [place], shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)
Of the burnt offering, the meat offering, and the sin offering.
8 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:
9 Give Aaron and his sons, and say, This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall burn upon the altar all night until the morning. And the fire of the altar alone shall burn upon it.
10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and the linen vail upon his body; and he shall take up the ashes which the fire of the burnt offering hath made upon the altar, and shall cast them beside the altar.
11 And he shall put off his garments afterward, and put on other garments, and carry out the ashes out of the camp unto a clean place.
12 The fire upon the altar shall burn, and never go out: and the priest shall burn wood upon it every morning, and prepare the burnt offering upon it, and burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
13 The fire shall burn upon the altar for ever, and shall never be quenched.
14 And this is the law of the meat offering, which Aaron's sons shall offer upon the altar before the LORD.
15 And one shall lift up his handful of fine flour of the meat offering, and of the oil, and all the frankincense that is upon the meat offering, and burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, a memorial unto the LORD.
16 And the remainder shall Aaron and his sons eat; and they shall eat it unleavened in the holy place, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
17 They shall not bake it with leaven: for it is their portion, which I have given them of my sacrifice. It shall be unto them the most holy, even as the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
18 That which is male among the sons of Aaron shall eat it. This shall be a perpetual statute unto your seed in the sacrifices of the LORD: no man shall touch them, except he be consecrated.
19 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:
20 This shall be the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day of his anointing; the tenth part of the ephah of fine flour of the daily meat offering, half of the morning, and half of the evening.
21 In a pan with oil shalt thou make it, and offer it roasted; and baked in pieces shalt thou offer it for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
22 And the priest that is anointed among his sons in his stead shall do so. This is a perpetual statute unto the LORD: it shall be burned wholly.
23 For all the meat offering of a priest shall be wholly burnt, and not eaten.
24 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:
25 Saw Aaron and his sons, and said, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where thou slakest the burnt offering thou shalt also slay the sin offering before the LORD: this is the most holy place.
26 And the priest that offereth the sin offering shall eat it in the holy place, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
27 Let no man touch his flesh, except he be sanctified. And whosoever shall sprinkle a garment of his blood shall wash the sprinkled spot in the holy place.
28 And the pot wherein it is boiled shall be broken. And if it be an iron pot, then it shall be scoured, and it shall be rinsed in water.
29 Those that are male among the priests shall eat thereof: for it is the most holy.
30 But all the sin offering, whose blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to make an atonement in the holy place, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire.
