The Bible in Basic English BBE
1 "'This is the law for the guilt offering: it is especially holy.
1
And this is the law of the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.
2 They are to slaughter the guilt offering in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering, and its blood is to be splashed against all sides of the altar.
2
They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar.
3 He is to offer all its fat - the fat tail, the fat covering the inner organs,
3
And all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to be given as an offering.
4 the two kidneys, the fat on them near the flanks, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys.
4
And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away:
5 The cohen will make them go up in smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire to ADONAI ; it is a guilt offering.
5
They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing.
6 Every male from a family of cohanim may eat it; it is to be eaten in a holy place; it is especially holy.
6
Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy.
7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the same law governs them - it will belong to the cohen who uses it to make atonement.
7
As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it.
8 "'The cohen who offers someone's burnt offering will possess the hide of the burnt offering which he has offered.
8
And the priest offering any man's burned offering for him, may have the skin of the burned offering which is offered by him.
9 "'Every grain offering baked in the oven, cooked in a pot or fried on a griddle will belong to the cohen who offers it.
9
And every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered.
10 But every grain offering which is mixed with olive oil or is dry will belong to all the sons of Aharon equally.
10
And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure.
11 "'This is the law for sacrificing peace offerings offered to ADONAI:
11
And this is the law for the peace-offerings offered to the Lord.
12 If a person offers it for giving thanks, he is to offer it with the thanksgiving sacrifice of unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, matzah spread with olive oil, and cakes made of fine flour mixed with olive oil and fried.
12
If any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil.
13 With cakes of leavened bread he is to present his offering together with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for giving thanks.
13
With his peace-offering let him give cakes of leavened bread, as a praise-offering.
14 From each kind of offering he is to present one as a gift for ADONAI; it will belong to the cohen who splashes the blood of the peace offerings against the altar.
14
And let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord; that it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the altar.
15 The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for giving thanks is to be eaten on the day of his offering; he is not to leave any of it until morning.
15
And the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is offered; no part of it may be kept till the morning.
16 But if the sacrifice connected with his offering is for a vow or is a voluntary offering, then, while it is to be eaten on the day he offers his sacrifice, what remains of it may be eaten the next day.
16
But if his offering is made because of an oath or given freely, it may be taken as food on the day when it is offered; and the rest may be used up on the day after:
17 However, what remains of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day is to be burned up completely.
17
But if any of the flesh of the offering is still unused on the third day, it is to be burned with fire.
18 If any of the meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, the sacrifice will neither be accepted nor credited to the person offering it; rather, it will have become a disgusting thing, and whoever eats it will bear the consequences of his wrongdoing.
18
And if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day, it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who gives it; it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food.
19 Meat which touches something unclean is not to be eaten but burned up completely. As for the meat, everyone who is clean may eat it;
19
And flesh touched by any unclean thing may not be taken for food: it is to be burned with fire; and as for the flesh of the peace-offerings, everyone who is clean may take it as food:
20 but a person in a state of uncleanness who eats any meat from the sacrifice of peace offerings made to ADONAI will be cut off from his people.
20
But he who is unclean when he takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.
21 Anyone who touches something unclean - whether the uncleanness be from a person, from an unclean animal or from some other unclean detestable thing - and then eats the meat from the sacrifice of peace offerings for ADONAI, that person will be cut off from his people.'"
21
And anyone who, after touching any unclean thing of man or an unclean beast or any unclean and disgusting thing, takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.
22 ADONAI said to Moshe,
22
And the Lord said to Moses,
23 "Say to the people of Isra'el, 'You are not to eat the fat of bulls, sheep or goats.
23
Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food.
24 The fat of animals that die of themselves or are killed by wild animals may be used for any other purpose, but under no circumstances are you to eat it.
24
And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food.
25 For whoever eats the fat of animals of the kind used in presenting an offering made by fire to ADONAI will be cut off from his people.
25
For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people.
26 You are not to eat any kind of blood, whether from birds or animals, in any of your homes.
26
And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses.
27 Whoever eats any blood will be cut off from his people.'"
27
Whoever takes any blood for food will be cut off from his people.
28 ADONAI said to Moshe,
28
And the Lord said to Moses,
29 "Say to the people of Isra'el, 'A person who offers his sacrifice of peace offerings to ADONAI is to bring part of his sacrifice of peace offerings as his offering for ADONAI.
29
Say to the children of Israel: He who makes a peace-offering to the Lord, is to give an offering to the Lord out of his peace-offering:
30 He is to bring with his own hands the offerings for ADONAI made by fire - he is to bring the breast with its fat. The breast is to be waved as a wave offering before ADONAI.
30
He himself is to take to the Lord the offering made by fire, even the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.
31 The cohen is to make the fat go up in smoke on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aharon and his descendants.
31
And the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.
32 You are to give the right thigh from your sacrifices of peace offerings to the cohen as a contribution.
32
And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings.
33 The descendant of Aharon who offers the blood of the peace offerings is to have the right thigh as his share.
33
That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part.
34 For the breast that has been waved and the thigh that has been contributed I have taken from the people of Isra'el out of their sacrifices of peace offerings and given them to Aharon the cohen and to his descendants as their share forever from the people of Isra'el.'"
34
For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel.
35 On the day when Aharon and his sons were presented to serve ADONAI in the office of cohen, this portion was set aside for him and his descendants from the offerings for ADONAI made by fire.
35
This is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the Lord;
36 On the day they were anointed, ADONAI ordered that this be given to them by the people of Isra'el. It is their share forever through all their generations.
36
Which the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to generation.
37 This is the law for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the consecration offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings
37
These are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for wrongdoing; and for the making of priests, and for the giving of peace-offerings;
38 which ADONAI ordered Moshe on Mount Sinai on the day he ordered the people of Isra'el to present their offerings to ADONAI, in the Sinai Desert.
38
As they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai.
