Sins Requiring a Guilt Offering

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “If anyone sins and commits a trespass against the Lord and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or concerning a security, or robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor, 3 or has found that which was lost, and lied about it, and swearing to a lie—in any of these things that a man sins in his actions— 4 then it must be, if he has sinned and is guilty, he must restore that which he took by robbery, or that which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found, 5 or anything about which he has sworn falsely. He must restore it in full and must add twenty percent more to it. He must return it to him to whom it belongs the day he is found guilty.

6 He must bring his trespass offering to the Lord: a ram without defect from the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest. 7 The priest must make atonement for him before the Lord, and he will be forgiven for anything at all that he has done in regard to this trespass.”

The Burnt Offering

8 The Lord spoke to Moses, 9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the burnt offering: the burnt offering must be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar must be kept burning on it.

10 The priest must put on his linen garment, and he must put on his linen trousers; and he must remove the ashes from where the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and he must put them beside the altar.

11 He must take off his garments and put on other garments and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 12 The fire on the altar must be kept burning. It must not go out, and the priest must burn wood on it every morning. He must lay the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings on it. 13 Fire must be kept burning on the altar continually. It must never go out.’ ”

The Grain Offering

14 “‘This is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron must offer it before the Lord, before the altar. 15 He must take from there his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering and of its oil and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering and must burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma, as its memorial portion to the Lord.

16 That which is left of it, Aaron and his sons must eat. It must be eaten without yeast in a holy place. They must eat it in the court of the Tent of Meeting. 17 It must not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire. It is most holy, as are the sin offering and the trespass offering. 18 Every male among the children of Aaron must eat of it, as their portion forever throughout your generations, from the offerings of the Lord made by fire. Whoever touches them must be holy.’ ”

19 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 20 “This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they must offer to the Lord on the day when he is anointed: two quarts of fine flour for a grain offering perpetually, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 21 It must be made with oil in a griddle. When it is soaked, you must bring it in. You must offer the grain offering in baked pieces as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 22 And the priest from among Aaron’s sons that is anointed in his place shall offer it as a statute forever to the Lord. It shall be completely burnt. 23 Every grain offering of a priest must be completely burnt. It must not be eaten.”

The Sin Offering

24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering must be slaughtered before the Lord. It is most holy. 26 The priest who offers it for sin must eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the Tent of Meeting. 27 Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy. When there is any of its blood sprinkled on a garment, you must wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place.

28 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled must be broken, and if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it must be scoured, and rinsed in water. 29 Every male among the priests must eat of it. It is most holy. 30 No sin offering, of which any of the blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be eaten. It must be burned with fire.’ ”
