from Crossway1[1] The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,2“If anyone sins and commits a breach of faith against the Lord by deceiving his neighbor in a matter of deposit or security, or through robbery, or if he has oppressed his neighbor (Ex 22:7; Ex 22:10; Le 19:11; Le 19:13; Nu 5:6; Mic 2:2)3or has found something lost and lied about it, swearing falsely—in any of all the things that people do and sin thereby— (Ex 22:11; Ex 23:4; Le 19:12; De 22:1)4if he has sinned and has realized his guilt and will restore what he took by robbery or what he got by oppression or the deposit that was committed to him or the lost thing that he found (Le 6:2)5or anything about which he has sworn falsely, he shall restore it in full and shall add a fifth to it, and give it to him to whom it belongs on the day he realizes his guilt. (Le 5:16; Nu 5:7; 2Sa 12:6; Lu 19:8)6And he shall bring to the priest as his compensation to the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flock, or its equivalent, for a guilt offering. (Le 5:15; Le 5:18)7And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he shall be forgiven for any of the things that one may do and thereby become guilty.” (Le 4:26)
The Priests and the Offerings
8[2] The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,9“Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.10And the priest shall put on his linen garment and put his linen undergarment on his body, and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar and put them beside the altar. (Ex 28:39; Le 1:16; Le 16:4; Eze 44:18)11Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. (Le 4:12; Le 16:23; Eze 42:14; Eze 44:19)12The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not go out. The priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it and shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. (Le 3:3; Le 3:9; Le 3:14)13Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out.14“And this is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord in front of the altar. (Le 2:1; Nu 15:4)15And one shall take from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering and its oil and all the frankincense that is on the grain offering and burn this as its memorial portion on the altar, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. (Le 2:2; Le 2:9)16And the rest of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten unleavened in a holy place. In the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it. (Le 2:3; Le 2:10; Le 6:26; Le 10:12; Eze 44:29; 1Co 9:13)17It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my food offerings. It is a thing most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering. (Le 2:3; Le 2:11; Le 6:25; Le 6:29; Le 7:1; Nu 18:9)18Every male among the children of Aaron may eat of it, as decreed forever throughout your generations, from the Lord’s food offerings. Whatever touches them shall become holy.”19The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,20“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the Lord on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah[3] of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. (Ex 16:36; Ex 29:1; Le 5:11)21It shall be made with oil on a griddle. You shall bring it well mixed, in baked[4] pieces like a grain offering, and offer it for a pleasing aroma to the Lord. (Le 2:5; Le 7:9; Le 7:12)22The priest from among Aaron’s sons, who is anointed to succeed him, shall offer it to the Lord as decreed forever. The whole of it shall be burned. (Ex 29:25)23Every grain offering of a priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”24The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,25“Speak to Aaron and 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. (Le 1:3; Le 1:5; Le 1:11; Le 4:24; Le 4:29; Le 4:33; Le 6:17; Le 6:29; Le 7:2)26The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting. (Le 6:16; Le 10:17; Nu 18:9; Nu 18:19; Eze 44:27)27Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy, and when any of its blood is splashed on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was splashed in a holy place.28And the earthenware vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken. But if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, that shall be scoured and rinsed in water. (Le 11:32; Le 11:33; Le 15:12)29Every male among the priests may eat of it; it is most holy. (Le 6:25)30But no sin offering shall be eaten from which any blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place; it shall be burned up with fire. (Le 4:7; Le 4:11; Le 4:18; Le 4:21; Le 6:26; Le 6:29; Le 10:18; Le 16:27; Heb 13:11)
Leviticus 6
New International Version
from Biblica1[1] The Lord said to Moses:2‘If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the Lord by deceiving a neighbour about something entrusted to them or left in their care or about something stolen, or if they cheat their neighbour,3or if they find lost property and lie about it, or if they swear falsely about any such sin that people may commit –4when they sin in any of these ways and realise their guilt, they must return what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found,5or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering.6And as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord, their guilt offering, a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value.7In this way the priest will make atonement for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.’
The burnt offering
8The Lord said to Moses:9‘Give Aaron and his sons this command: “These are the regulations for the burnt offering: the burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.10The priest shall then put on his linen clothes, with linen undergarments next to his body, and shall remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar.11Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.12The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it.13The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.
The grain offering
14‘ “These are the regulations for the grain offering: Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the Lord, in front of the altar.15The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial[2] portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.16Aaron and his sons shall eat the rest of it, but it is to be eaten without yeast in the sanctuary area; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.17It must not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share of the food offerings presented to me. Like the sin offering[3] and the guilt offering, it is most holy.18Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it. For all generations to come it is his perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord. Whatever touches it will become holy.[4]” ’19The Lord also said to Moses,20‘This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he[5] is anointed: a tenth of an ephah[6] of the finest flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.21It must be prepared with oil on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken[7] in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.22The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely.23Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.’
The sin offering
24The Lord said to Moses,25‘Say to Aaron and his sons: “These are the regulations for the sin offering: the sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy.26The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.27Whatever touches any of the flesh will become holy, and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in the sanctuary area.28The clay pot that the meat is cooked in must be broken; but if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot is to be scoured and rinsed with water.29Any male in a priest’s family may eat it; it is most holy.30But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place must not be eaten; it must be burned.
Leviticus 6
King James Version
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,2If 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;3Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:4Then 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,5Or 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.6And 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:7And 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.8And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,9Command 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.10And 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.11And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.12And 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.13The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.14And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.15And 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.16And 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.17It 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.18All 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.19And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,20This 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.21In 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.22And 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.23For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.24And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,25Speak 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.26The 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.27Whatsoever 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.28But 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.29All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.30And 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.
Leviticus 6
New International Reader’s Version
from Biblica1The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,2‘Suppose someone sins by not being faithful to me. They do it by tricking their neighbours. They trick them in connection with something their neighbours have placed in their care. They steal from their neighbours. Or they cheat them.3Or they find something their neighbours have lost and then tell a lie about it. Or they go to court. They promise to tell the truth. But instead they tell a lie when they are a witness about it. Or they lie when they are witnesses about any other sin like those sins.4When they sin in any of these ways and realise their guilt, they must return what they stole. They must give back what they took by cheating their neighbours. They must return what their neighbours placed in their care. They must return the lost property they found.5They must return anything they told a lie about when they were witnesses in court. They must pay back everything in full. They must add a fifth of its value to it. They must give all of it to the owner on the day they bring their guilt offering.6He must bring their guilt offering to the priest to pay for their sin. It is an offering to me. They must bring a ram from the flock. It must not have any flaws. It must be worth the required amount of money.7The priest will sacrifice the ram to pay for their sin. He will do it in my sight. And they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.’
More rules for burnt offerings
8The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,9‘Give Aaron and the priests in his family line a command. Tell them, “Here are some more rules for burnt offerings. The burnt offering must remain on the altar through the whole night. The fire on the altar must be kept burning until morning.10The priest must put on his linen clothes. He must put on linen underwear next to his body. He must remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has burned on the altar. He must place them beside the altar.11Then he must take his clothes off and put others on. He must carry the ashes outside the camp to a ‘clean’ place.12The fire on the altar must be kept burning. It must not go out. Every morning the priest must add more wood to the fire. He must place the burnt offering on the fire. He must burn the fat of the friendship offerings on it.13The fire must be kept burning on the altar all the time. It must not go out.
More rules for grain offerings
14‘ “Here are some more rules for grain offerings. The priests in Aaron’s family line must bring the grain offering to the LORD in front of the altar.15The priest must take a handful of the finest flour and olive oil. He must add to it all the incense on the grain offering. He must burn that part on the altar. It will remind him that all good things come from the LORD. Its smell pleases the LORD.16Aaron and the priests in his family line will eat the rest of it. But they must eat it without yeast in the holy area. They must eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.17It must not be baked with yeast added to it. The LORD has given it to the priests as their share of the food offerings presented to him. It is very holy, just like the sin offering and the guilt offering.18Any priests in Aaron’s family line can eat it. It is their share of the food offerings presented to the LORD. It is their share for all time to come. Anyone who touches these offerings will become holy.” ’19The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,20‘On the day each high priest in Aaron’s family line is anointed, he must bring an offering to me. He must bring 1.5 kilograms of the finest flour as a regular grain offering. He must bring half of it in the morning. He must bring the other half in the evening.21Mix it with olive oil. Cook it on a metal plate. Break it in pieces. Bring it as a grain offering. Its smell pleases the LORD.22The son of Aaron who will become the next high priest after him will prepare the grain offering. It is the share that must be given to the LORD for all time to come. It must be completely burnt.23Every grain offering a high priest offers must be completely burnt. It must not be eaten.’
More rules for sin offerings
24The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,25‘Speak to Aaron and the priests in his family line. Tell them, “Here are some more rules for sin offerings. You must kill the animal for the sin offering in the sight of the LORD. Kill it in the place where the burnt offering is killed. It is very holy.26The priest who offers it will eat it. He must eat it in the holy area. He must eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.27Anyone who touches any of its meat will become holy. Suppose some of the blood is spilled on someone’s clothes. Then you must wash them in the holy area.28Break the clay pot the meat is cooked in. But suppose you cook it in a bronze pot. Then you must scrub the pot and rinse it with water.29Any male in a priest’s family may eat the meat. It is very holy.30But suppose some of the blood of a sin offering is brought into the tent of meeting. And that blood is brought into the Holy Room to pay for sin. Then that sin offering must not be eaten. It must be burned.
