CHAPTER 6
“If
someone
sins
and acts
unfaithfully
against the LORD
by deceiving
his neighbor
in regard to a deposit
or security
entrusted to him
or
stolen,
or
if he extorts
his neighbor
or
finds
lost property
and lies
about it
and swears
falsely,
or if he commits any such sin
that
a man
might commit—
once
he has sinned
and becomes guilty,
he must return
what
he has stolen
or
taken by extortion,
or
the deposit
entrusted
to him,
or
the lost property
he found,
or
anything
else about
which
he has sworn
falsely.
He must make
restitution in full,
add
a fifth
of the value,
and pay it
to its owner
on the day
he presents his guilt offering.
Then he must bring
to
the priest
his guilt offering
to the LORD:
an unblemished
ram
of proper value
from
the flock.
In this way the priest
will make atonement
for him
before
the LORD,
and he will be forgiven
for
anything
he may have done
to incur guilt.”
“Command
Aaron
and his sons,
‘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
must be kept burning
on the altar.
And the priest
shall put on
his linen
robe
and linen
undergarments,
and he shall remove
from the altar
the ashes
of the burnt offering
that the fire
has consumed
and place
them beside
it.
Then he must take off
his garments,
put on
other
clothes,
and carry
the ashes
outside
the camp
to
a ceremonially clean
place.
The fire
on
the altar
shall be kept burning;
it must not
go out.
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.
Now this
is the law
of the grain offering:
Aaron’s
sons
shall present
it
before
the LORD,
in
front
of the altar.
The priest is to remove
a handful
of
fine flour
and olive oil,
together with all
the incense
from the grain offering,
and burn
the memorial portion
on the altar
as a pleasing
aroma
to the LORD.
Aaron
and his sons
are to eat
the remainder.
It must be eaten
as unleavened,
in a holy
place;
they are to eat
it in the courtyard
of the Tent
of Meeting.
It must not
be baked
with yeast;
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.
Any
male
among the sons
of Aaron
may eat it.
This is a permanent
portion
from the offerings made by fire
to the LORD
for the generations to come.
Anything
that
touches
them
shall become holy.”
“This
is the offering
that Aaron
and his sons
must present
to the LORD
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.
It shall be prepared
with oil
on
a griddle;
you are to bring it
well-kneaded
and present it
as a grain offering
broken
in pieces,
a pleasing
aroma
to the LORD.
The 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 the LORD,
it must be completely
burned.
“Tell
Aaron
and his sons,
‘This
is the law
of the sin offering:
In the place
where
the burnt offering
is slaughtered,
the sin offering
shall be killed
before
the LORD;
it is most
holy.
The priest
who offers
it
shall eat it;
it must be eaten
in a holy
place,
in the courtyard
of the Tent
of Meeting.
Anything
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.
The clay
pot
in which
the sin offering is boiled
must be broken;
if
it is boiled
in a bronze
pot,
it must be scoured
and rinsed
with water.
But 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.
