The Lord said to Moses:
2
" 'If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the Lord by deceiving his neighor
about something entrusted to him or left in his care or stolen, or if he cheats him,
3
or if he finds lost property and lies about it, or if he swears falsely,
or if he commits any such sin that people may do -
4
when he thus sins and becomes guilty, he must return
what he has stolen or taken by extortion,
or what was entrusted to him,
or the lost property he found,
5
or whatever it was he swore falslely about.
He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it
and give it all to the owner on the day he presents his guilt offering.
6
And as a penalty he must bring to the priest, that is, to the LORD,
his guilt offering, a ram from the flock, one without defect and
of the proper value.
7
In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD,
and he will be forgiven for any of these things he did that made
him guilty."
8
The LORD said to Moses:
9
"Give Aaron and his sons this command: 'These are the regulations
for the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar
hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept
burning on the altar.
10
The priest shall then put on his linen clothes, with linen undergarments
next to his body, and shall remove the ashes of the burnt offering that
the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar.
11
Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry
the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.
12
The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out.
Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt
offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it.
13
The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must
not go out.
14
" 'These are the regulations for the grain offering: Aaron's sons are
to bring it before the LORD, in front of the altar.
15
The priest is to take a handful of fine flour and oil, together with
all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial
portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
16
Aaron and his sons shall eat the rest of it, but it is to be eaten
without yeast in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard
of the Tent of Meeting.
17
It must not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share
of the offering made to me by fire. Like the sin offering and
the guilt offering, it is most holy.
18
Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it. It is his regular share
of the offering made to the LORD by fire for the generations
to come. Whatever touches them will become holy.' "
19
TThe LORD also said to Moses,
20
"This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the LORD
on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a
regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.
21
Prepare it with on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present
the grain offering broken in pieces as an aroma pleasing to
the LORD.
22
The son who is to succeed him as an anointed priest shall
prepare it. It is the LORD's regular share and is to be
burned completely.
23
Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely;
it must not be eaten."
24
The LORD said to Moses,
25
"Say to Aaron and his sons: 'These are the regulations for
the sin offering: The sin offering is to be slaughtered
before the LORD in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered;
it is most holy.
26
The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in a
holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
27
Whatever touches any of the flesh will become holy,
and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment,
you must wash it in a holy place.
28
The clay pot the meat is cooked in must be broken; but if
it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot is to be scoured
and rinsed with water.
29
Any male in a priest's family may eat it; it is most holy.
30
But any sin offering whose blood is brought into
the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place
must not be eaten; it must be burned.
In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD,
and he will be forgiven for any of these things he did that made
him guilty."
