is slaughtered, and its blood is to be sprinkled against the altar on all sides.

4
both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver,
which is to be removed with the kidneys.
5
The priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made to the LORD by fire.
It is a guilt offering.
6
Any male in a priest's family may eat it, but it must be eaten in a holy place;
it is most holy.

" 'The same law applies to both the sin offering and the guilt offering:
They belong to the priest who makes atonement with them.
8
The priest who offers a burnt offering for anyone may keep its hide for himsmelf.
9
Every grain offering baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or
on a griddle belongs to the priest who offers it,

The Fellowship Offering
11
" 'These are the regulations for the fellowship offering
a person may present to the LORD:
12
" 'If he offers it as an expression of thankfulness, then along with
this thank offering he is to offer cakes of bread made without yeast and
mixed with oil, wafers made without yeast and spread with oil,
and cakes of fine flour well-kneaded and mixed with oil.
13
Along with his fellowship offering of thanksgiving he is to present
an offering with cakes of bread made with yeast.
14
He is to bring one of each kind as an offering, a contribution to the LORD;
it belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the fellowhip offerings.
15
The meat of his fellowhip offering of thanksgiving must be eaten
on the day it is offered; he must leave none of it till morning.
16
" 'If, however, his offering is the result of a vow or is a freewill offering,
the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day he offers it,
but anything left over may be eaten on the next day.
17
Any meat of the sacrifice left over till the third day must be burned up.
18
If any meat of the fellowship offering is eaten on the third day,
it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who offered it,
for it is impure; the person who eats any of it will be held responsible.
19
" 'Keep my decrees. " 'Do not mate different kinds of animals.
" 'Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed.
" 'Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.
20
" 'If a man sleeps with a woman who is a slave girl promised to another man
but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom,
there must be due punishment. Yet they are not to be put to death,
because she had not been freed.
21
The man, however, must bring a ram to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting
for a guilt offering to the LORD.
Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden
22
The LORD said to Moses,
23
"Say to the Israelites: 'Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats.
24
The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals
may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.
25
Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering by fire
may be made to the LORD must be cut off from his people.
26
And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
27
If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.' "
The Priests' Share
28
The LORD said to Moses,
29
"Say to the Israelites: 'Anyone who brings a fellowship offering
to the LORD is to bring part of it as his sacrifice to the LORD.
30
With his own hands he is to bring the offerig made to the LORD by fire;
he is to bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast
before the LORD as a wave offering.
31
" 'Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritist, for you will be defiled by them.
I am the LORD your God.
32
" 'Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and
revere your God. I am the LORD.
33
" 'When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him.
34
The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born.
Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
35
" 'Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity.
36
Use honest scales and honest weights, an honest ephah and an honest hin.
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt.
37
" 'Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the LORD.' "
