The Book of

LEVITICUS Chapter 1: Ritual of Sacrifices Lord called Moses and gave this message to him: Speak to Israelites and tell them: When any one of you wishes to bring an animal offering to the Lord, such an offering must be from the herd or from the flock. Moses told the Israelites on what to offer to the Lord and the steps on how to offer and what to do with the offering. If he offers a bird as a holocaust to the Lord, he shall choose a turtledove or a pigeon as his offering. The bird will be burned, the priest will snap its head loose and squeeze out its blood against the side of the altar and the crop and feather shall be removed and thrown on the east side of the altar. Chapter 2: Cereal offerings The cereal must be offered, is consist of fine flour. Aarons sons, the priests, one of them shall take a handful of this fine flour and oil, together with all the frankincense and this he shall burn on the altar as a token offering, a sweet-smelling oblation to the Lord. For cereal is a token offering the priest shall then burn some of the grits and oil, together with all the frankincense, as an oblation to the Lord. Chapter 3: Peace Offerings All the animals that have been subject for offering, all its fat belongs to the Lord. This shall be a perpetual ordinance for your descendants wherever they may dwell. You shall not partake of any fat or any blood. Chapter 4: Sin Offerings: For Priests If someone disobeyed the command of the Lord, he or she must bring a young unblemished bull as a sin offering for the sin he or she committed. For the Community If the whole community of Israel inadvertently and without even being aware of it does something that the Lord has forbidden and thus makes itself guilty,

should it later on become known that the sin was committed, the community shall present a young bull as a sin offering. For the Princess Should a prince commit a sin inadvertently by doing one of the things which are forbidden by some commandment of the Lord, his God, and thus become guilty, if later on he learns of the sin he committed, he shall bring as his offering an unblemished male goat. For Private Persons If a private person commits a sin inadvertently by doing one of the things which are forbidden by the commandments of the Lord, and thus becomes guilty, should he later on learn of the sin he committed, he shall bring an unblemished she-goat as the offering for his sin. Chapter 5: For Special Cases If any person refuses to give the information which, as a witness of something he has seen or learned, he has been adjured to give, and thus commits a sin and has guilt to bear. Guilt Offerings The Lord said to Moses, If someone commits a sin by inadvertently cheating in the Lords sacred dues, he shall bring to the Lord as his guilt offering an unblemished ram from the flock, valued at two silver shekels according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel. Chapter 6: The Daily Holocaust The Lord said to Moses, Give Aaron and his sons the following command: This is the ritual for holocausts. The holocaust is to remain on the hearth of the altar all night until the next morning, and the fire is to be kept burning on the altar. Daily Cereal Offering This is the ritual of the cereal offering. One of Aarons sons shall first present it before the Lord, in front of the altar. Every cereal offering of a priest shall be a whole burnt offering; it may not be eaten.

Sin Offerings The Lord said to Moses, Tell Aaron and his sons: This is the ritual for sin offerings. At the place where holocausts are slaughtered, there also, before the Lord, shall the sin offering be slaughtered. No one may partake of any sin offering of which some blood has been brought into the meeting tent to make atonement in the sanctuary; such an offering must be burned up in the fire. Chapter 7: Guilt Offerings This is the ritual for guilt offerings, which are most sacred. Because the sin offering and the guilt offering are alike, both having the same ritual, the guilt offering likewise belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it. Peace Offerings This is the ritual for the peace offerings that are presented to the Lord. The flesh of the thanksgiving sacrifice shall be eaten on the day it is offered; none of it may be kept till the next day. Prohibition against Blood and Fat The Lord said to Moses, Tell the Israelites: You shall not eat the fat of any ox or sheep or goat. Every person who partakes of any blood shall be cut off from his people. The Portions for Priests The Lord said to Moses, Tell the Israelites: He who presents a peace offering to the Lord shall bring a part of it as his special offering to him, carrying in with his own hands the oblations of the Lord. Chapter 8: Ordination of Aaron and His Sons.
