The Restitution Offering

1“Now this is the law of the •restitution offering;a it is especially holy. 2The restitution offering must be slaughtered at the place where the •burnt offeringb is slaughtered, and the priest is to sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar. 3The offerer must present all the fat from it: the fat tail,c the fat surrounding the entrails,d 4and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the livere with the kidneys. 5The priest will burn them on the altar as a fire offeringf to the LORD; it is a restitution offering. 6Any male among the priests may eat it.g It is to be eaten in a holy place;h it is especially holy.i

7“The restitution offering is like the •sin offering;j the law is the same for both. It belongs to the priestk who makes •atonementl with it. 8As for the priest who presents someone’s burnt offering, the hide of the burnt offering he has presented belongs to him; it is the priest’s. 9Any •grain offeringm that is baked in an oven or prepared in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it; it is his. 10But any grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equallyn to all of Aaron’s sons.

The Fellowship Sacrifice

11“Now this is the law of the •fellowship sacrificeo that someone may present to the LORD: 12If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice,p, q he is to present unleavened cakesr mixed with olive oil, unleavened waferss coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil. 13He is to present as his offering cakes of leavened breadt with his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship. 14From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contributionu to the LORD. It will belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the fellowship offering; it is his. 15The meat of his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship must be eaten on the day he offers it;v he may not leave any of it until morning.w

16“If the sacrifice he offers is a vowx, y or a freewill offering,z, aa it is to be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and what is left over may be eaten on the next day. 17But what remains of the sacrificial meat by the third day must be burned up.ab 18If any of the meat of his fellowship sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted.ac It will not be credited to the one who presents it; it is repulsive.ad The person who eats any of it will be responsible for his sin.ae

19“Meat that touches anything •unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. Everyone who is •clean may eat any other meat. 20But the one who eats meat from the LORD’s fellowship sacrifice while he is unclean,af that person must be cut off from his people.ag 21If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestableah, ai creature, and eats meat from the LORD’s fellowship sacrifice, that person must be cut off from his people.”

Fat and Blood Prohibited

22The LORD spoke to Moses: 23“Tell the Israelites: You are not to eat any fataj of an ox, a sheep, or a goat. 24The fat of an animal that dies naturally or is mauled by wild beastsak, al may be used for any purpose, but you must not eat it.am 25If anyone eats animal fat from a fire offering presented to the LORD, the person who eats it must be cut off from his people. 26Wherever you live, you must not eat the bloodan of any bird or animal. 27Whoever eats any blood, that person must be cut off from his people.”

The Portion for the Priests

28The LORD spoke to Moses: 29“Tell the Israelites: The one who presents a fellowship sacrifice to the LORD must bring an offering to the LORD from his sacrifice. 30His own hands will bring the fire offerings to the LORD. He will bring the fat together with the breast. The breast is to be waved as a presentation offeringao before the LORD. 31The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. 32You are to give the right thighap to the priest as a contribution from your fellowship sacrifices. 33The son of Aaron who presents the blood of the fellowship offering and the fat will have the right thigh as a portion. 34I have taken from the Israelites the breast of the presentation offering and the thigh of the contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, and have assigned them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portionaq, ar from the Israelites.”

35This is the portion from the fire offerings to the LORD for Aaron and his sonsas since the day they were presented to serve the LORD as priests. 36The LORD commanded this to be given to them by the Israelites on the day He anointed them.at It is a permanent portionau throughout their generations.

37This is the law for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the restitution offering, the ordination offering,av and the fellowship sacrifice, 38which the LORD commanded Moses on Mount Sinaiaw on the day Heax commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai.ay
