Chapter 6
1And AO said to Moses,
2“If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against AO by deceiving his neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him or stolen or if he extorts his neighbor
3or finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely or if he commits any such sin that a man might commit—
4and becomes guilty once he has sinned, he must return what he has stolen or what was taken by extortion or the deposit entrusted to him or the lost property he found
5or anything else which he has sworn about falsely. He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to the owner and pay it on the day [he acknowledges] his guilt.
6Then he must bring his guilt offering to AO: an unblemished ram from the flock of proper value to the priest.
7In this way the priest will make atonement for him before AO and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”
8Then AO said to Moses,
9“Command Aaron and his sons [that] this is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the hearth of the altar all night until morning and the fire on the altar must be kept burning.
10And the priest shall put on his linen robe and linen undergarments and he shall remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed from the altar and place them beside [it].
11Then he must take off his garments, put on other clothes and carry the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place.
12The fire on the altar shall be kept burning, it must not be extinguished. Every morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, arrange the burnt offering on it and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings on it.
13The fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar, it must not be extinguished.
14Now this is the law of the grain offering: Aaron’s sons shall present it before AO in front of the altar.
15The priest is to remove a handful of fine flour from the grain offering and olive oil together with all the frankincense and burn the memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to AO.
16Aaron and his sons are to eat the remainder. It must be eaten without leaven in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
17It must not be baked with leaven. I have assigned it as their portion of My offerings made by fire. It [is] most holy like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
18Any male among the sons of Aaron may eat it. This is a permanent portion for the generations to come from the offerings made by fire to AO. Anything that touches them will become holy.”
19Then AO said to Moses,
20“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons must present to AO on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.
21It shall be prepared on a griddle with oil; you are to bring it well-kneaded and present it as a grain offering broken in pieces, a pleasing aroma to AO.
22The priest who is one of Aaron’s sons and will be anointed to take his place is to prepare it. As a permanent portion for AO, it must be burned completely.
23Every grain offering for a priest shall be burned completely; it is not to be eaten.”
24And AO said to Moses,
25“Tell Aaron and his sons [that] this is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before AO; it [is] most holy.
26The priest who offers it shall eat; it must be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
27Anything that touches its flesh will become holy and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in a holy place.
28The clay pot in which [the sin offering] is boiled must be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze pot, [the pot] must be scoured and rinsed with water.
29Any male among the priests may eat it; it [is] most holy.
30But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place; it must be burned.[”]
