'Now this is the law of the ^(C1)guilt offering; it is most holy.

'In ^(C1)the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they are to slaughter the guilt offering, and the priest shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

'Then he shall offer from it all its fat: the ^(C1)fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails,

and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins; and he shall remove the lobe on the liver ^(C1)with the kidneys.

'The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.

'^(C1)Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

'The guilt offering is like the ^(C1)sin offering: there is one law for them. The ^(C2)priest who makes atonement with it ^(F1)shall have it.

'Also the priest who presents anyone's burnt offering, ^(F1)that priest shall have for himself the hide of the burnt offering which he has presented.

'Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in the oven and everything prepared in a ^(F1)pan or on a ^(C1)griddle ^(F2)shall belong to the priest who presents it.

'Every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall ^(F1)belong to all the sons of Aaron, ^(F2)to all alike.

'Now this is the law of the ^(C1)sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be presented to the LORD.

'If he offers it by way of ^(C1)thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer ^(C2)unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers ^(F1)spread with oil, and cakes of well stirred fine flour mixed with oil.

'With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving, he shall present his offering with cakes of ^(C1)leavened bread.

'Of ^(F1)this he shall present one of every offering as a ^(F2)contribution to the LORD; ^(C1)it shall ^(F3)belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

'^(C1)Now as for the flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings, it shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it over until morning.

'But if the sacrifice of his offering is a ^(F1)(C1)vow or a ^(F2)voluntary offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next ^(F3)day what is left of it may be eaten;

^(C1)but what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.

'So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is ever eaten on the third day, he who offers it will not be accepted, and it will not be credited to him. It will be an ^(C1)unclean thing, and the person who eats it shall bear his punishment.

'Also the flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. ^(F1)As for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh.

'^(C1)But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD, ^(F1)when he is unclean, that person ^(C2)shall be cut off from his people.

'^(C1)When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any unclean ^(F1)detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people.'"

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'You shall not eat ^(C1)any fat from an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

'Also the fat of an animal which dies and the fat of an animal ^(C1)torn by animals may be put to any other use, but you certainly are not to eat it.

'For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which ^(F1)an offering by fire is offered to the LORD, the person who eats it shall also be cut off from his people.

'And ^(C1)you are not to eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your dwellings.

'Any person who eats any blood, that person shall also be cut off from his people.'"

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'He who offers ^(C1)the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD from the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

'His own hands are to bring offerings by fire to the LORD. He shall bring the fat with the breast, so that the ^(C1)breast may be ^(F1)presented as a wave offering before the LORD.

'And the priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but ^(C1)the breast shall belong to Aaron and to his sons.

'And you shall give ^(C1)the right thigh to the priest as a ^(F1)contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

'The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, the right thigh shall be his as his portion.

'For I have taken from the sons of Israel ^(C1)the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the ^(F1)contribution from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their allotted portion forever from the sons of Israel.

'This is the ^(C1)allotment to Aaron and the allotment to his sons from the offerings by fire to the LORD, on that day when he presented them to serve as priests to the LORD.

'^(F1)These the LORD had commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel on the day that He ^(C1)anointed them. It is their allotted portion forever throughout their generations.'"

This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering, and ^(C1)the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings,

^(C1)which the LORD commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day that He commanded the sons of Israel to ^(F1)present their offerings to the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai.
