Leviticus 6New King James Version
Laws About the Burnt Offering, the Grain Offering, and the Sin Offering
6 And theLordspoke to Moses, saying:2 “If a person sins and(A)commits a trespass against theLordby(B)lying[a]to his neighbor about(C)what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or about[b]a pledge, or about a robbery, or if he has(D)extorted from his neighbor,3 or if he(E)has found what was lost and lies concerning it, and(F)swears falsely—in any one of these things that a man may do in which he sins:4 then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall[c]restore(G)what he has stolen, or the thing which he has extorted, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found,5 or all that about which he has sworn falsely. He shall(H)restore its full value, add one-fifth more to it,andgive it to whomever it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering.6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to theLord,(I)a ram without blemish from the flock, with your[d]valuation, as a trespass offering, to the priest.7 (J)So the priest shall make atonement for him before theLord, and he shall be forgiven for any one of these things that he may have done in which he trespasses.”
The Law of the Burnt Offering
8 Then theLordspoke to Moses, saying,9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘Thisisthe(K)law of the burnt offering: The burnt offeringshall beon the hearth upon the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.10 (L)And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen trousers he shall put on his body, and take up the ashes of the burnt offering which the fire has consumed on the altar, and he shall put them(M)beside the altar.11 Then(N)he shall take off his garments, put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp(O)to a clean place.12 And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it(P)the fat of the peace offerings.13 A fire shall always be burning on the(Q)altar; it shall never go out.
The Law of the Grain Offering
14 ‘Thisisthe law of the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall offer it on the altar before theLord.15 He shall take from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with its oil, and all the frankincense whichison the grain offering, and shall burniton the altarfora sweet aroma, as a memorial to theLord.16 And the remainder of it Aaron and his sons shall eat; with unleavened bread it shall be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of meeting they shall eat it.17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given itastheir[e]portion of My offerings made by fire; itismost holy, like the sin offering and the(R)trespass offering.18 (S)All the males among the children of Aaron may eat it.(T)It shall bea statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings made by fire to theLord.(U)Everyone who touches them must be holy.’ ”
19 And theLordspoke to Moses, saying,20 (V)“Thisisthe offering of Aaron and his sons, which they shall offer to theLord,beginningon the day when he is anointed: one-tenth of an(W)ephah of fine flour as a daily grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it at night.21 It shall be made in a(X)pan with oil.When it ismixed, you shall bring it in. The baked pieces of the grain offering you shall offerfora[f]sweet aroma to theLord.22 The priest from among his sons,(Y)who is anointed in his place, shall offer it.It isa statute forever to theLord.(Z)It shall be[g]wholly burned.23 For every grain offering for the priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”
The Law of the Sin Offering
24 Also theLordspoke to Moses, saying,25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thisisthe law of the sin offering:(AA)In the place where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before theLord. Itismost holy.26 (AB)The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of meeting.27 (AC)Everyone who touches its flesh[h]must be holy. And when its blood is sprinkled on any garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled, in a holy place.28 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled(AD)shall be broken. And if it is boiled in a bronze pot, it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water.29 All the males among the priests may eat it. Itismost holy.30 (AE)But no sin offering from whichanyof the blood is brought into the tabernacle of meeting, to make atonement in[i]the holy(AF)place, shall be(AG)eaten. It shall be(AH)burned in the fire.
