Common English Bible CEB
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2 “Suppose one of you sins against your associate and is unfaithful to the LORD . Suppose you cheat in a deal involving a security deposit, or you steal or commit fraud,
2
If you sin: by acting unfaithfully against the LORD; by deceiving a fellow citizen concerning a deposit or pledged property; by cheating a fellow citizen through robbery;
3 or you find lost property and lie about it, or you lie while swearing to tell the truth, or you commit any other such sin.
3
or, though you've found lost property, you lie about it; or by swearing falsely about anything that someone might do and so sin,
4 If you have sinned in any of these ways, you are guilty. You must give back whatever you stole, or the money you took by extortion, or the security deposit, or the lost property you found,
4
at that point, once you have sinned and become guilty of sin, you must return the property you took by robbery or fraud, or the deposit that was left with you for safekeeping, or the lost property that you found,
5 or anything obtained by swearing falsely. You must make restitution by paying the full price plus an additional 20 percent to the person you have harmed. On the same day you must present a guilt offering.
5
or whatever it was that you swore falsely about. You must make amends for the principal amount and add one-fifth to it. You must give it to the owner on the day you become guilty.
6 As a guilt offering to the LORD, you must bring to the priest your own ram with no defects, or you may buy one of equal value.
6
You must bring to the priest as your compensation to the LORD a flawless ram from the flock at the standard value as a compensation offering.
7 Through this process, the priest will purify you before the LORD, making you right with him, and you will be forgiven for any of these sins you have committed.”
7
The priest will make reconciliation for you before the LORD, and you will be forgiven for anything you may have done that made you guilty.
8 Then the LORD said to Moses,
8
The LORD said to Moses:
9 “Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the burnt offering. The burnt offering must be left on top of the altar until the next morning, and the fire on the altar must be kept burning all night.
9
Command Aaron and his sons: This is the Instruction for the entirely burned offering—the entirely burned offering that must remain on the altar hearth all night until morning, while the fire is kept burning.
10 In the morning, after the priest on duty has put on his official linen clothing and linen undergarments, he must clean out the ashes of the burnt offering and put them beside the altar.
10
The priest will dress in his linen robe, with linen undergarments on his body. Because the fire will have devoured the entirely burned offering on the altar, he must remove the ashes and place them beside the altar.
11 Then he must take off these garments, change back into his regular clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.
11
The priest will then take off his clothes, dress in a different set of clothes, and take the ashes outside the camp to a clean location.
12 Meanwhile, the fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must never go out. Each morning the priest will add fresh wood to the fire and arrange the burnt offering on it. He will then burn the fat of the peace offerings on it.
12
The altar fire must be kept burning; it must not go out. Each morning the priest will burn wood on it, will lay out the entirely burned offering on it, and will completely burn the fat of the well-being offering on it.
13 Remember, the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times. It must never go out.
13
A continuous fire must be kept burning on the altar; it must not go out.
14 “These are the instructions regarding the grain offering. Aaron’s sons must present this offering to the LORD in front of the altar.
14
This is the Instruction for the grain offering: Aaron's sons will present it before the LORD in front of the altar.
15 The priest on duty will take from the grain offering a handful of the choice flour moistened with olive oil, together with all the frankincense. He will burn this representative portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD .
15
The priest will remove a handful of the choice flour and oil from the grain offering, and all of the frankincense that is on it, and burn this token portion completely on the altar as a soothing smell to the LORD.
16 Aaron and his sons may eat the rest of the flour, but it must be baked without yeast and eaten in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.
16
Aaron and his sons will eat the rest of it. It must be eaten as unleavened bread in a holy place; the priests must eat it in the meeting tent's courtyard.
17 Remember, it must never be prepared with yeast. I have given it to the priests as their share of the special gifts presented to me. Like the sin offering and the guilt offering, it is most holy.
17
It must not be baked with leaven. I have made it the priests' share from my food gifts. It is most holy like the purification offering and the compensation offering.
18 Any of Aaron’s male descendants may eat from the special gifts presented to the LORD . This is their permanent right from generation to generation. Anyone or anything that touches these offerings will become holy.”
18
Only the males from Aaron's descendants can eat it as a permanent portion from the LORD's food gifts throughout your future generations. Anything that touches these food gifts will become holy.
19 Then the LORD said to Moses,
19
The LORD said to Moses,
20 “On the day Aaron and his sons are anointed, they must present to the LORD the standard grain offering of two quarts of choice flour, half to be offered in the morning and half to be offered in the evening.
20
This is the offering that Aaron and his sons must present to the LORD on the day of his anointment: one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour as a regular grain offering, half in the morning and half in the evening.
21 It must be carefully mixed with olive oil and cooked on a griddle. Then slice this grain offering and present it as a pleasing aroma to the LORD .
21
It must be prepared on a griddle with oil. You must bring it thoroughly mixed up and must present it as a grain offering of crumbled pieces as a soothing smell to the LORD.
22 In each generation, the high priest who succeeds Aaron must prepare this same offering. It belongs to the LORD and must be burned up completely. This is a permanent law.
22
The priest who is anointed from among Aaron's sons to succeed him will prepare the offering as a permanent portion for the LORD. It will be completely burned as a complete offering.
23 All such grain offerings of a priest must be burned up entirely. None of it may be eaten.”
23
Every priestly grain offering must be a complete offering; it must not be eaten.
24 Then the LORD said to Moses,
24
The LORD said to Moses,
25 “Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the sin offering. The animal given as an offering for sin is a most holy offering, and it must be slaughtered in the LORD ’s presence at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered.
25
Say to Aaron and his sons: This is the Instruction for the purification offering: The purification offering must be slaughtered before the LORD at the same place the entirely burned offering is slaughtered; it is most holy.
26 The priest who offers the sacrifice as a sin offering must eat his portion in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.
26
The priest who offers it as a purification offering will eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place, in the meeting tent's courtyard.
27 Anyone or anything that touches the sacrificial meat will become holy. If any of the sacrificial blood spatters on a person’s clothing, the soiled garment must be washed in a sacred place.
27
Anything that touches the purification offering's flesh will become holy. If some of its blood splashes on a garment, you must wash the bloodied part in a holy place.
28 If a clay pot is used to boil the sacrificial meat, it must then be broken. If a bronze pot is used, it must be scoured and thoroughly rinsed with water.
28
A pottery container in which the purification offering is cooked must be broken, but if it is cooked in a bronze container, that must be scrubbed and rinsed with water.
29 Any male from a priest’s family may eat from this offering; it is most holy.
29
Any male priest can eat it; it is most holy.
30 But the offering for sin may not be eaten if its blood was brought into the Tabernacle as an offering for purification in the Holy Place. It must be completely burned with fire.
30
But no purification offering can be eaten if blood from it is brought into the meeting tent to make reconciliation in the holy place; it must be burned with fire.
