ve'et kol-khelbo yaqriv mimmennu et ha'alyah ve'et-hakhelev hamekhasseh et-haqqerev

The priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to GOD; it is a reparation offering.

6

kakhattat ka'asham torah akhat lahem hakkohen asher yekhapper-bo lo yihyeh

The reparation offering is like the purgation offering. The same rule applies to both: it shall belong to the priest who makes expiation thereby.

8

וְהַ֨כֹּהֵ֔ן הַמַּקְרִ֖יב אֶת־עֹ֣לַת אִ֑ישׁ ע֤וֹר הָֽעֹלָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִקְרִ֔יב לַכֹּהֵ֖ן ל֥וֹ יִהְיֶֽה׃

So, too, the priest who offers another person’s burnt offering shall keep the skin of that burnt offering.

9

Further, any grain offering that is baked in an oven, and any that is prepared in a pan or on a griddle, shall belong to the priest who offers it.

10

וְכׇל־מִנְחָ֥ה בְלוּלָֽה־בַשֶּׁ֖מֶן וַחֲרֵבָ֑ה לְכׇל־בְּנֵ֧י אַהֲרֹ֛ן תִּהְיֶ֖ה אִ֥ישׁ כְּאָחִֽיו׃ {פ}

But every other grain offering, with oil mixed in or dry, shall go to the sons of Aaron all alike.

11

וְזֹ֥את תּוֹרַ֖ת זֶ֣בַח הַשְּׁלָמִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר יַקְרִ֖יב לַיהֹוָֽה׃

vezot torat zevakh hashelamim asher yaqriv la-Adonai

This is the ritual of the sacrifice of well-being that anyone may offer to GOD:

12

אִ֣ם עַל־תּוֹדָה֮ יַקְרִיבֶ֒נּוּ֒ וְהִקְרִ֣יב ׀ עַל־זֶ֣בַח הַתּוֹדָ֗ה חַלּ֤וֹת מַצּוֹת֙ בְּלוּלֹ֣ת בַּשֶּׁ֔מֶן וּרְקִיקֵ֥י מַצּ֖וֹת מְשֻׁחִ֣ים בַּשָּׁ֑מֶן וְסֹ֣לֶת מֻרְבֶּ֔כֶת חַלֹּ֖ת בְּלוּלֹ֥ת בַּשָּֽׁמֶן׃

im al-todah yaqrivennu vehiqriv al-zevakh hattodah khallot matsot belulot bashemen ureqiqe matsot meshukhim bashamen vesolet murbekhet khallot belulot bashamen

One who offers it for thanksgiving shall offer, together with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes with oil mixed in—unleavened wafers spread with oil—and cakes of choice flour with oil mixed in, well soaked.

13

עַל־חַלֹּת֙ לֶ֣חֶם חָמֵ֔ץ יַקְרִ֖יב קׇרְבָּנ֑וֹ עַל־זֶ֖בַח תּוֹדַ֥ת שְׁלָמָֽיו׃

al-khallot lekhem khamets yaqriv qorbano al-zevakh todat shelamayw

This offering, with cakes of leavened bread added, shall be offered along with their thanksgiving sacrifice of well-being.

14

וְהִקְרִ֨יב מִמֶּ֤נּוּ אֶחָד֙ מִכׇּל־קׇרְבָּ֔ן תְּרוּמָ֖ה לַיהֹוָ֑ה לַכֹּהֵ֗ן הַזֹּרֵ֛ק אֶת־דַּ֥ם הַשְּׁלָמִ֖ים ל֥וֹ יִהְיֶֽה׃

vehiqriv mimmennu ekhad mikkol-qorban terumah la-Adonai lakkohen hazzoreq et-dam hashelamim lo yihyeh

Out of this shall be offered one of each kind as a gift to GOD; it shall go to the priest who dashes the blood of the offering of well-being.

15

וּבְשַׂ֗ר זֶ֚בַח תּוֹדַ֣ת שְׁלָמָ֔יו בְּי֥וֹם קׇרְבָּנ֖וֹ יֵאָכֵ֑ל לֹֽא־יַנִּ֥יחַ מִמֶּ֖נּוּ עַד־בֹּֽקֶר׃

uvesar zevakh todat shelamayw beyom qorbano ye'akhel lo-yanniakh mimmennu ad-boqer

And the flesh of that thanksgiving sacrifice of well-being shall be eaten on the day that it is offered; none of it shall be set aside until morning.

16

וְאִם־נֶ֣דֶר ׀ א֣וֹ נְדָבָ֗ה זֶ֚בַח קׇרְבָּנ֔וֹ בְּי֛וֹם הַקְרִיב֥וֹ אֶת־זִבְח֖וֹ יֵאָכֵ֑ל וּמִֽמׇּחֳרָ֔ת וְהַנּוֹתָ֥ר מִמֶּ֖נּוּ יֵאָכֵֽל׃

ve'im-neder o nedavah zevakh qorbano beyom haqrivo et-zivkho ye'akhel umimmokhorat vehannotar mimmennu ye'akhel

If, however, the sacrifice is a votive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that the sacrifice is offered, and what is left of it shall be eaten on the morrow.

17

וְהַנּוֹתָ֖ר מִבְּשַׂ֣ר הַזָּ֑בַח בַּיּוֹם֙ הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֔י בָּאֵ֖שׁ יִשָּׂרֵֽף׃

vehannotar mibbesar hazzavakh bayyom hashelishi ba'esh yissaref

What is then left of the flesh of the sacrifice shall be consumed in fire on the third day.

18

וְאִ֣ם הֵאָכֹ֣ל יֵ֠אָכֵ֠ל מִבְּשַׂר־זֶ֨בַח שְׁלָמָ֜יו בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי֮ לֹ֣א יֵרָצֶה֒ הַמַּקְרִ֣יב אֹת֗וֹ לֹ֧א יֵחָשֵׁ֛ב ל֖וֹ פִּגּ֣וּל יִהְיֶ֑ה וְהַנֶּ֛פֶשׁ הָאֹכֶ֥לֶת מִמֶּ֖נּוּ עֲוֺנָ֥הּ תִּשָּֽׂא׃

ve'im he'akhol ye'akhel mibbesar-zevakh shelamayw bayyom hashelishi lo yeratseh hammaqriv oto lo yekhashev lo piggul yihyeh vehannefesh ha'okhelet mimmennu avonah tissa

If any of the flesh of that sacrifice of well-being is eaten on the third day, it shall not be acceptable; it shall not count for the one who offered it. It is an offensive thing, and the person who eats of it shall bear the guilt.

19

וְהַבָּשָׂ֞ר אֲשֶׁר־יִגַּ֤ע בְּכׇל־טָמֵא֙ לֹ֣א יֵֽאָכֵ֔ל בָּאֵ֖שׁ יִשָּׂרֵ֑ף וְהַ֨בָּשָׂ֔ר כׇּל־טָה֖וֹר יֹאכַ֥ל בָּשָֽׂר׃

vehabbasar asher-yigga bekhol-tame lo ye'akhel ba'esh yissaref vehabbasar kol-tahor yokhal basar

Flesh that touches anything impure shall not be eaten; it shall be consumed in fire. As for other flesh, only one who is pure may eat such flesh.

20

וְהַנֶּ֜פֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר־תֹּאכַ֣ל בָּשָׂ֗ר מִזֶּ֤בַח הַשְּׁלָמִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לַיהֹוָ֔ה וְטֻמְאָת֖וֹ עָלָ֑יו וְנִכְרְתָ֛ה הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ הַהִ֖וא מֵעַמֶּֽיהָ׃

vehannefesh asher-tokhal basar mizzevakh hashelamim asher la-Adonai vetumato alayw venikhretah hannefesh hahiv me'ammeha

But the person who, in a state of impurity, eats flesh from GOD’s sacrifices of well-being—that person shall be cut off from kin.

21

וְנֶ֜פֶשׁ כִּֽי־תִגַּ֣ע בְּכׇל־טָמֵ֗א בְּטֻמְאַ֤ת אָדָם֙ א֣וֹ ׀ בִּבְהֵמָ֣ה טְמֵאָ֗ה א֚וֹ בְּכׇל־שֶׁ֣קֶץ טָמֵ֔א וְאָכַ֛ל מִבְּשַׂר־זֶ֥בַח הַשְּׁלָמִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר לַיהֹוָ֑ה וְנִכְרְתָ֛ה הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ הַהִ֖וא מֵעַמֶּֽיהָ׃ {פ}

When a person touches anything impure, be it human impurity or an impure animal or any impure creature, and eats flesh from GOD’s sacrifices of well-being—that person shall be cut off from kin.

Fat from animals that died or were torn by beasts may be put to any use, but you must not eat it.

25

כִּ֚י כׇּל־אֹכֵ֣ל חֵ֔לֶב מִ֨ן־הַבְּהֵמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר יַקְרִ֥יב מִמֶּ֛נָּה אִשֶּׁ֖ה לַיהֹוָ֑ה וְנִכְרְתָ֛ה הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ הָאֹכֶ֖לֶת מֵֽעַמֶּֽיהָ׃

If anyone eats the fat of animals from which offerings by fire may be made to GOD, the person who eats it shall be cut off from kin.

kol-nefesh asher-tokhal kol-dam venikhretah hannefesh hahiv me'ammeha

Anyone who eats blood shall be cut off from kin.

And GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

29

Speak to the Israelite people thus: The offering to GOD from a sacrifice of well-being must be presented by the one who offers that sacrifice of well-being to GOD:

yadayw tevi'enah et ishe Adonai et-hakhelev al-hekhazeh yevi'ennu et hekhazeh lehanif oto tenufah lifne Adonai

their own hands shall present GOD’s offerings by fire. They shall present the fat with the breast, the breast to be elevated as an elevation offering before GOD;

31

וְהִקְטִ֧יר הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֶת־הַחֵ֖לֶב הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חָה וְהָיָה֙ הֶֽחָזֶ֔ה לְאַהֲרֹ֖ן וּלְבָנָֽיו׃

For I have taken the breast of elevation offering and the thigh of gift offering from the Israelites, from their sacrifices of well-being, and given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their due from the Israelites for all time.

Those shall be the perquisites of Aaron and the perquisites of his sons from GOD’s offerings by fire, once they have been inducted to serve GOD as priests;

36

אֲשֶׁר֩ צִוָּ֨ה יְהֹוָ֜ה לָתֵ֣ת לָהֶ֗ם בְּיוֹם֙ מׇשְׁח֣וֹ אֹתָ֔ם מֵאֵ֖ת בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל חֻקַּ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם לְדֹרֹתָֽם׃
