Leviticus 7:16-33 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

16. ‘And if the offering he brings is a vow or a voluntary offering, it is eaten the same day that he brings his slaughtering, and what is left of it is eaten the next day,

17. but whatever is left of the flesh of the slaughtering on the third day is burned with fire.

18. ‘However, if any of the flesh of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, it is not accepted. It is not reckoned to him who brings it, it is unclean to him, and the being who eats of it bears his crookedness.

19. ‘And the flesh that touches that which is unclean is not eaten, it is burned with fire. And as for the clean flesh, all who are clean eat of it.

20. ‘But the being who eats the flesh of the peace offering that belongs to יהוה, while he is unclean, that being shall be cut off from his people.

21. ‘And when a being who touches that which is unclean, of the uncleanness of man, or of the uncleanness of beast, or of any unclean swarming creature, and shall eat the flesh of the peace offering that belongs to יהוה, that being shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

22. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

23. “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘Do not eat any fat, of bull or sheep or goat.

24. ‘And the fat of a dead body, and the fat of what is torn, is used for any purpose, but you do not eat it at all.

25. ‘For whoever eats the fat of the beast of which men bring as an offering made by fire to יהוה, even the being who eats it shall be cut off from his people.

26. ‘And do not eat any blood in any of your dwellings, of bird or of beast.

27. ‘Any being who eats any blood, even that being shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

28. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

29. “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘He who brings his peace offering to יהוה brings his offering to יהוה from the slaughtering of his peace offering.

30. ‘With his own hands he bring the offerings made by fire to יהוה. He brings the fat with the breast, to be waved as a wave offering before יהוה.

31. ‘And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aharon’s and his sons.’

32. ‘And the right thigh you give to the priest as a contribution from your peace offerings.

33. ‘He among the sons of Aharon, who brings the blood of the peace offering, and the fat, the right thigh is his for a portion.
