Leviticus 7, verse by verse
Each verse is given twice: first in the King James Version, then in the World Bible Guide plain reading.
Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
This is the sacred rule for the offering made for wrongdoing: it is profoundly holy.
In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
In the same place where they sacrifice the burnt offering, they should also sacrifice the trespass offering. Its blood should be gently scattered around the altar.
And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,
He must present all of its rich, fatty parts; the hindquarters and the fat that blankets the inner organs.
And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:
He must carefully remove the two kidneys, along with the rich fat surrounding them and the protective layer above the liver.
And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering.
The priest will passionately ignite them on the altar, presenting a fiery offering to the Lord. It's a heartfelt apology offering.
Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
Every man serving as a priest is invited to partake in this sacred meal, within the sanctity of the holy place. This act is of utmost holiness.
As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.
Just as a sin offering is similar to a trespass offering, there is one rule for both: the priest who seeks reconciliation through them shall receive it.
And the priest that offereth any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
The priest who presents a person's burnt offering will personally receive the skin of that offering.
And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest’s that offereth it.
Every grain offering baked in the oven or prepared in a frying pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who offers it.
And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
Every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall be equally shared among all of Aaron's sons.
And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD.
This is the rule for offerings of peace, given with love and reverence to the Lord.
If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
If one wishes to offer it to express gratitude, they should present with it a humble offering of breads made without yeast: cakes mixed with oil, thin wafers brushed with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of the finest flour mixed with oil.
Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
In addition to the pastries, he should present yeast bread as part of his gratitude sacrifice for peace offerings.
And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto the LORD, and it shall be the priest’s that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
He must give a portion of his total offering as a sacred gift to the Lord. This portion belongs to the priest who performs the ritual of the peace offerings by sprinkling the blood.
And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
The meat from his peace offering of gratitude must be consumed on the same day it's given; none should be left until the next day.
But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
If one chooses to make a sacrifice, whether out of commitment or free will, it should be consumed on the day it's offered. Any leftovers can be eaten the next day.
But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
Any leftover meat from the sacrifice, by the third day, must be passionately consumed by fire.
And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
If anyone eats from the peace offering on the third day, it won't be accepted, and it won't count for the person who offered it. The meat will be detestable, and the one who eats it will carry the guilt.
And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.
Meat that touches anything impure must not be eaten; it must be destroyed by fire. As for other meat, anyone who is clean may enjoy it.
But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Anyone who eats from the peace offering that belongs to the Lord while they are unclean must be cut off from their people.
Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
If a person comes into contact with anything impure, be it human or animal filth, or anything else that's disgusting, and then eats from the peace offerings dedicated to God, that person must be cut off from their people.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
The Lord passionately communicated to Moses, expressing,
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
Tell the people of Israel, with firmness and clarity, not to consume any kind of fat from oxen, sheep, or goats.
And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
Never consume the fat from an animal that died naturally or was killed by other beasts. You may use it for other purposes, but never for eating.
For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
Anyone who eats the fat of an animal of the kind offered to God by fire must be cut off from their people.
Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
In all your homes, never consume any kind of blood, whether from birds or animals.
Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Anyone who consumes any kind of blood must be cut off from their people.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
With a voice filled with divine authority, the LORD gently spoke to Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
Tell the people of Israel, anyone who brings a peace offering to the Lord must also present a part of it as a gift to Him.
His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.
With his own hands, he will present the Lord's fiery offerings - the rich fat and the breast. He will lift it high, waving it before the Lord as a sacred gesture of devotion.
And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
The priest will passionately set the fat ablaze on the altar, while the breast tenderly belongs to Aaron and his sons.
And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
Give the priest the right shoulder of your peace offerings as a heartfelt gesture of respect and devotion.
He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
The one from Aaron's lineage who presents the peace offerings of blood and fat, will rightfully receive the shoulder portion.
For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.
I've taken the offerings of the Israelites, specifically the wave breast and the heave shoulder, from their peace sacrifices. I've given these to Aaron the priest and his sons as a perpetual law, a gift from the people of Israel.
This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest’s office;
This is the sacred share from the divine offerings, given to Aaron and his sons on the day they were appointed to serve the Lord as priests.
Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.
The day God anointed them, He commanded the children of Israel to provide for them. This decree was to last forever, passed down through every generation.
This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
This is the rule for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the offering for dedicating priests, and the peace offering;
Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
On the day God instructed Moses on Mount Sinai, He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to Him, amidst the barren wilderness of Sinai.
