3.Mose 17 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Afgudsofre forbydes

1 Herren gav også Moses følgende instrukser, som han skulle videregive til Aron, præsterne og hele Israels folk:

3 „Hvis en israelit ofrer en ko, et lam eller en ged enten inde i lejren eller uden for lejren

4 i stedet for at bringe den til indgangen til åbenbaringsteltet, hvor den kan blive ofret til Herren efter forskrifterne, skal han betragtes på lige fod med en morder, og han skal bøde med sit liv.

5 Formålet med denne lov er at få Israels folk til at holde op med at ofre på uindviede steder. Fra nu af skal de altid bringe deres ofre til indgangen til åbenbaringsteltet, hvor præsten kan ofre deres takofre og andre ofre* til Herren.

6 Det er nemlig kun ved at bringe ofrene til præsten, at han har mulighed for at stænke blodet på Herrens alter ved åbenbaringsteltets indgang og ofre fedtet som et lifligt offer.

7 Folket skal ikke længere være mig utro. De skal holde op med at ofre til deres afskyelige afgudsgedebukke. Dette er en permanent lov, som skal gælde fra slægt til slægt.

8 Jeg gentager: Hvis en indfødt israelit eller en fremmed, der bor iblandt jer, bringer et brændoffer eller et andet offer andre steder end ved åbenbaringsteltets indgang, hvor det kan ofres til Herren på behørig vis, skal den person lide døden.

Forbud imod at spise blod

10 Jeg vil straffe alle israelitter eller fremmede iblandt jer, som spiser blod, ja, jeg vil udrydde dem fuldstændigt.

11 For blodet repræsenterer livet, som er helligt, og jeg vil, at blodet skal bruges til at stænke på alteret, for at det kan bringe soning for jeres synder.

12 Det er grunden til, at ingen iblandt jer, hverken israelit eller fremmed, må spise blod.

13 Og enhver, hvad enten det er en israelit eller en fremmed iblandt jer, som slår et dyr eller en fugl ihjel af den slags, som det er tilladt at spise, skal lade blodet løbe fra og dække det til med jord,

14 for blodet repræsenterer livet. Det er derfor, jeg har pålagt Israels folk aldrig at spise blod. Enhver, som alligevel gør det, skal dø.

15 Alle israelitter, såvel som fremmede iblandt jer, der spiser selvdøde dyr eller dyr, der er blevet dræbt af andre dyr, skal vaske deres tøj og bade og regnes for urene indtil aften.

16 Hvis de ikke vasker deres tøj og bader, må de selv tage ansvaret for følgerne.”

English Standard Version

The Place of Sacrifice

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the people of Israel and say to them, This is the thing that the Lord has commanded.

3 If any one of the house of Israel kills an ox or a lamb or a goat in the camp, or kills it outside the camp,

4 and does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it as a gift to the Lord in front of the tabernacle of the Lord, bloodguilt shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood, and that man shall be cut off from among his people.

5 This is to the end that the people of Israel may bring their sacrifices that they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to the Lord, to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace offerings to the Lord.

6 And the priest shall throw the blood on the altar of the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting and burn the fat for a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

7 So they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to goat demons, after whom they whore. This shall be a statute forever for them throughout their generations.

8 “And you shall say to them, Any one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice

9 and does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it to the Lord, that man shall be cut off from his people.

Laws Against Eating Blood

10 “If any one of the house of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn among them eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people.

11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.

12 Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.

13 “Any one also of the people of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who takes in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth.

14 For the life of every creature* is its blood: its blood is its life.* Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.

15 And every person who eats what dies of itself or what is torn by beasts, whether he is a native or a sojourner, shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening; then he shall be clean.

16 But if he does not wash them or bathe his flesh, he shall bear his iniquity.”
