Levítico 7

Dette er Loven om Skyldofferet. Det er højhelligt

Der, hvor Brændofferet slagtes, skal Skyldofferet slagtes. Dets Blod skal sprænges rundt om på Alteret,

og alt dets Fedt skal frembæres. Fedthalen, Fedtet, der dækker Indvoldene, og alt Fedtet på Indvoldene,

begge Nyrerne med det Fedt, som sidder på dem ved Lændemusklerne, og Leverlappen, som skal skilles fra ved Nyrerne.

Og Præsten skal bringe det som Røgoffer på Alteret, et Ildoffer for HERREN. Det er et Skyldoffer.

Alle af Mandkøn blandt Præsterne må spise det; på et helligt Sted skal det spises; det er højhelligt.

Det er med Skyldofferet som med Syndofferet, en og samme Lov gælder for dem: Det tilfalder den Præst, der skaffer Soning ved det.

Den Præst, som frembærer nogens Brændoffer, ham skal Huden af det Brændoffer, han frembærer, tilfalde.

Ethvert Afgrødeoffer, der bages i Ovnen, eller som er tilberedt i Pande eller på Plade, tilfalder den Præst, der frembærer det;

men ethvert Afgrødeoffer, der er rørt i Olie eller tørt, tilfalder alle Arons Sønner, den ene lige så vel som den anden.

Dette er Loven om Takofferet, som bringes HERREN.

Hvis det bringes som Lovprisningsoffer, skal han sammen med Slagtofferet, der hører til hans Lovprisningsoffer, frembære usyrede Kager, rørte i Olie, usyrede Fladbrød, smurte med Olie, og fint Hvedemel, æltet til Kager, rørte i Olie;

sammen med syrede Brødkager skal han frembære sin Offergave som sit Lovprisningstakoffer.

Han skal deraf frembære een Kage af hver Offergave som en Offerydelse til HERREN; den tilfalder den Præst, der sprænger Blodet af Takofferet på Alteret.

Kødet af hans Lovprisningstakoffer skal spises på selve Offerdagen, intet de1af må gemmes til næste Morgen.

Er hans Offergaver derimod et Løfteoffer eller et Frivilligoffer, skal det vel spises på selve Offerdagen, men hvad der levnes, må spises Dagen efter;

men hvad der så er tilbage af Offerkødet, skal opbrændes på den tredje Dag;

og hvis der spises noget af hans Takoffers Kød på den tredje Dag, så vil den, som bringer Offeret, ikke kunne finde Guds Velbehag, det skal ikke tilregnes ham, men regnes for urent Kød, og den, der spiser deraf, skal undgælde for sin Brøde.

Det Kød, der kommer i Berøring med noget som helst urent, må ikke spises, det skal opbrændes. I øvrigt må enhver, der er ren, spise Kødet;

men enhver, som i uren Tilstand spiser Kød af HERRENs Takoffer, skal udryddes af sin Slægt;

og når nogen rører ved noget urent, enten menneskelig Urenhed eller urent Kvæg eller nogen Slags urent Kryb, og så spiser Kød af HERRENs Takoffer, skal han udryddes af sin Slægt.

HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

Tal til Israeliterne og sig: I må ikke spise noget som helst Fedt af Okser, Får eller Geder.

Fedt af selvdøde og sønderrevne Dyr må bruges til alt, men I må under ingen Omstændigheder spise det.

Thi enhver, der spiser Fedtet af det Kvæg, hvoraf der bringes HERREN Ildofre, den, der spiser noget deraf, skal udryddes af sit Folk.

Og I må heller ikke nyde noget som helst Blod af Fugle eller Kvæg, hvor I end opholder eder;

enhver, der nyder noget som helst Blod, skal udryddes af sin Slægt.

HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Den, der bringer HERREN sit Takoffer, skal af sit Takoffer frembære for HERREN den ham tilkommende Offergave;

med egne Hænder skal han frembære HERRENs Ildofre. Han skal frembære Fedtet tillige med Brystet; Brystet, for at Svingningen kan udføres dermed for HERRENs Åsyn;

og Præsten skal bringe Fedtet som Røgoffer på Alteret, men Brystet skal tilfalde Aron og hans Sønner.

Desuden skal I give Præsten højre Kølle som Offerydelse af eders Takofre.

Den af Arons Sønner, der frembærer Takofferets Blod og Fedtet, ham tilfalder højre Kølle som hans Del.

Thi Svingningsbrystet og Offerydelseskøllen tager jeg fra Israeliterne af deres Takofre og giver dem til Præsten Aron og hans Sønner, en evig gyldig Rettighed, som de har Krav på hos Israeliterne.

Det er Arons og hans Sønners Del af HERRENs Ildofre, den, som blev givet dem, den dag han lod dem træde frem for at gøre Præstetjeneste for HERREN,

den, som HERREN, den Dag han salvede dem, bød Israeliterne at give dem, en evig gyldig Rettighed, som de har Krav på fra Slægt til Slægt.

Det er Loven om Brændofferet, Afgrødeofferet, Syndofferet, Skyldofferet, Indsættelsesofferet og Takofferet,

som HERREN pålagde Moses på Sinaj Bjerg, den Dag han bød Israeliterne at bringe HERREN deres Offergaver i Sinaj Ørken.

Likewise this {is} the law of the trespass offering: it {is} most holy.

In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.

And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,

And the two kidneys, and the fat that {is} on them, which {is} by the flanks, and the caul {that is} above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar {for} an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it {is} a trespass offering.

Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it {is} most holy.

As the sin offering {is}, so {is} the trespass offering: {there is} one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have {it}.

And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, {even} the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.

And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it. {in the pan: or, on the flat plate or, slice}

And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one {as much} as another.

And this {is} the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD.

If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.

Besides the cakes, he shall offer {for} his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.

And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation {for} an heave offering unto the LORD, {and} it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.

And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

But if the sacrifice of his offering {be} a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:

But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.

And if {any} of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

And the flesh that toucheth any unclean {thing} shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.

But the soul that eateth {of} the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that {pertain} unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean {thing, as} the uncleanness of man, or {any} unclean beast, or any abominable unclean {thing}, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which {pertain} unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it. {beast...: Heb. carcase}

For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth {it} shall be cut off from his people.

Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, {whether it be} of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.

Whatsoever soul {it be} that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved {for} a wave offering before the LORD.

And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.

And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest {for} an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for {his} part.

For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.

This {is the portion} of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day {when} he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;

Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, {by} a statute for ever throughout their generations.

This {is} the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;

Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
