Leviticus 6:24-7:10

Rules about sin offerings

24 The Lord said to Moses, 25 ‘Tell Aaron and his sons, “These are the rules about sin offerings. They must kill the animal for a sin offering at the place where they kill the animals for burnt offerings. It is a very holy offering that they give to the Lord. 26 The priest who offers this sacrifice will eat his part of the animal. He must do that in a holy place, in the yard outside the Tent of Meeting.

27 If anyone touches the meat, they will be holy. If the blood splashes onto the clothes of a person, he must wash them in a holy place. 28 If a person uses a clay pot to cook the meat, he must then break the pot into pieces. If a person uses a metal pot to cook the meat, he must rub the pot very well to make it clean. Then he must wash it with clean water. 29 The meat is very holy. Only a male person who belongs to a priest's family may eat it.

6:29See the note on verse 18.

30 But it is different if they take some blood from the sin offering into the Tent of Meeting. If they do that to make people clean from their sin, nobody may eat any meat from the offering. Instead, the priest must burn the animal completely in the fire.”

Leviticus 7

More rules about guilt offerings

1 Tell Aaron, “These are the rules about guilt offerings. It is a most holy offering. 2 They must kill the animal for a guilt offering at the place where they kill the animals for burnt offerings. The priest must throw the blood onto the sides of the altar. 3 The person who brings the offering must offer all the fat from the animal. That includes the fat part of its tail and the fat that is around its inside parts. 4 He must remove the two kidneys and the fat that is on them. He must also remove the bottom part of the liver. He must offer these to the Lord. 5 Then the priest must burn all these parts of the animal on the altar as a gift to the Lord. It is a guilt offering. 6 Any male person who belongs to a priest's family may eat the meat that remains. They must eat it in a holy place because it is very holy.

7 These rules are the same for sin offerings and for guilt offerings. The meat belongs to the priest who offers the animal to make a person clean from their sin. 8 But it is different with burnt offerings. The skin of the animal that the priest burns on the altar belongs to that priest. 9 If people bring a grain offering that they have cooked in an oven or on a flat plate, that offering belongs to the priest who offers it to the Lord. 10 It is different if the grain offering has dry grain, or the person has mixed the grain with olive oil. The grain from those offerings belongs to all the sons of Aaron, in equal parts.
