6 The Lord said to Moses, 2 ‘A person may take something that is not his. Or he may find it and keep it. He may tell his friend that he has not taken it. He might not give him the correct price for something. But then he is not obeying the Lord . 3 A person may speak words that are not true. That is a sin. A person may keep something that belongs to another person. He does not give it back. That is a wrong thing to do. He might find something and then he might say that it is his. If it is not his, he is not obeying God. 4 He has done something that is wrong. So he must show that he is sorry. He must give back anything that is not his. He must give back anything that he has found. He must give back anything that he has kept. He must give it to the person to whom it belongs. 5 He must give back everything and one fifth more. He must also, on the same day, give a gift to the Lord . 6 He must bring a sheep to the priest. The sheep must be a perfect male animal. The sheep must be worth the right amount of money. 7 The priest will give the sheep to the Lord . It is an atonement for the wrong things that the person has done. Then the Lord will forgive the person.’
8 The Lord said to Moses, 9 ‘Tell Aaron and his sons my rules. They must burn these gifts on the altar. The fire must burn all night. 10 When the morning comes, the priest must dress himself in his linen clothes. The linen must be next to his skin. He must take the ashes from the fire and he must put them at the side of the altar. 11 Then he must dress himself in other clothes. He must carry the ashes outside the camp and he must put them in a special place. 12 The fire that is on the altar must never stop burning. Every morning the priest must put wood on it. He must also put on it the gifts and the fat of the friendship offerings. 13 The fire must always burn. It must not go out.
14 These are the rules for the gift of grain. Aaron's sons must bring it in front of the altar to give to the Lord . 15 A priest must take some of the flour and oil. He must mix this special part with incense and he must burn all of it on the altar. The smell of them while they are burning will give the Lord pleasure. 16 The priests will make into bread the flour that he did not burn. They must not use yeast to make the bread. They must eat the bread in a holy place, in the yard outside the Tent of Meeting. 17 The bread is for the priests because it is a holy part of a gift. It is holy, like the offerings for sin. And it is like the gifts when somebody does anything wrong. 18 Any son, grandson or male of Aaron's family can eat the bread. It is his usual part of the burnt offerings to the Lord . A person who touches the bread will become holy.’
19 The Lord said to Moses, 20 ‘When Aaron is anointed, Aaron and his sons must give an offering to the Lord . It must be a tenth of an ephah (about two litres) of best flour. They must bring half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 21 They must mix it with oil and they must cook it on a flat plate. Then they must break it into pieces and they must offer it to the Lord . The smell of it will give the Lord pleasure. 22 The son whom they will anoint to take Aaron's place must prepare the offering. 23 All of the gifts that the priests give to God must be burnt completely. Nobody should eat them.’
24 The Lord said to Moses, 25 ‘Tell Aaron and his sons this rule. When a person does wrong things he must give an animal to the Lord . The animal will be holy. The person must kill the animal at the north side of the altar. That is where they kill the offerings for sin. 26 The priest who offered it will eat his part of the gift in a holy place. That is the yard outside the Tent of Meeting. 27 If anyone or anything touches the meat they will become holy. If the blood touches the clothes of a person, he must wash them in a holy place. 28 If a person cooks the meat in a clay pot, he must break the pot. He must break it when he has cooked the meat. If a person cooks the meat in a metal pot, he must wash the pot. He must wash it well when he has cooked the meat. And he must wash it again with clean water. 29 The meat is holy. [ a ] Only the priests' sons can eat it. 30 They must take the blood of a sin offering into the Tent of Meeting. It is a sacrifice to atone for sin. Nobody should eat any of that offering. The priest must burn it.
6 The Lord told Moses these rules for the people: 2 “You are guilty of sin against the Lord when you do any of these things: when you lie about what happened to something you were taking care of for someone else; when you lie about a deposit [ a ] you received; when you steal something; when you cheat someone; 3 when you find something that was lost and lie about having it; when you fail to keep a promise; or when you do any other bad things like these. 4 If you do any of these things, you are guilty of doing wrong. You must give back whatever you stole or whatever you took by cheating. You must return whatever you took that another person asked you to hold, or whatever you found and lied about having, 5 or whatever you made a false promise about. You must pay the full price and then add one-fifth of that amount as a fine and give it all to the true owner. 6 You must also bring a ram to the Lord that has nothing wrong with it (or the same amount in silver) to the priest. 7 Then the priest will go to the Lord to make you pure, and God will forgive you for whichever of these things you did that made you guilty.”
8 The Lord said to Moses, 9 “Give this command to Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering must stay on the hearth [ b ] of the altar all night until morning. The altar’s fire must be kept burning. 10 The priest must change clothes and put on the special linen underwear and linen robe. Then he must gather up the ashes from the fire and burnt offerings and set them down by the altar. 11 Then he must take off the special clothes and put on the other clothes and carry the ashes outside the camp to a special place that is pure. 12 The fire that was started on the altar must never be allowed to stop burning. Every morning the priests must put wood on the altar. They must arrange the burnt offerings on the wood, and they must burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it. 13 That fire must always be kept burning on the altar. It must never be allowed to stop burning.
14 “This is the law for the grain offering: The sons of Aaron will bring it to the front of the altar as an offering to the Lord . 15 There must be some oil and frankincense on the grain offering. The priest will take a handful of fine flour from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a sweet-smelling memorial offering to the Lord .
16 “Aaron and his sons will use the rest of that grain to make bread without yeast. This must be eaten in a holy place—in the courtyard around the Meeting Tent. 17 I have given this part of the grain offering as the priests’ share of the gifts offered to me. Like the sin offering and the guilt offering, it is most holy. It must not be baked with yeast. 18 Any male descendant of Aaron may eat from these gifts to the Lord . This is their share forever throughout your generations. Whatever touches these offerings will be made holy. [ c ] ”
19 The Lord said to Moses, 20 “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons must bring to the Lord when Aaron is anointed to be the high priest. They must bring 8 cups [ d ] of fine flour for a grain offering. This will be offered at the times of the daily offering—half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 21 The fine flour must be mixed with oil and baked on a pan. After it is cooked, you must bring it in, break it into pieces, and offer it as a sweet-smelling gift to Lord .
22 “In the future, when Aaron’s descendants take their place as the anointed priests, [ e ] they will continue to make this grain offering to the Lord. This rule will continue forever. The grain offering must be completely burned for the Lord . 23 Every grain offering that a priest gives must be completely burned. It must not be eaten.”
24 The Lord said to Moses, 25 “Tell Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the sin offering. The sin offering must be killed in the place where the burnt offering is killed before the Lord . It is most holy. 26 The priest who offers the sin offering must eat it. But he must eat it in a holy place, in the courtyard around the Meeting Tent. 27 Touching the meat of the sin offering makes a person or a thing holy.
“If any of the sprinkled blood falls on a person’s clothes, you must wash the clothes in a holy place. 28 If the sin offering was boiled in a clay pot, the pot must be broken. If the sin offering was boiled in a bronze pot, the pot must be washed and rinsed in water.
29 “Any male in a priest’s family may eat the sin offering. It is very holy. 30 But if the blood of the sin offering was taken into the Meeting Tent and used in the Holy Place to make people pure, that sin offering must not be eaten. It must be completely burned in the fire.
6 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord , and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord , a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord : and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
8 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
14 And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord , before the altar.
15 And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto the Lord .
16 And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.
17 It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
19 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
20 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
21 In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the Lord .
22 And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the Lord ; it shall be wholly burnt.
23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.
24 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
25 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the Lord : it is most holy.
26 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
28 But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
29 All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
30 And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
6 [ a ] Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “ ( A ) When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against the Lord , and disavows the rightful claim of his neighbor regarding a deposit or a security entrusted to him , or regarding robbery, or he has extorted from his neighbor, 3 or ( B ) has found what was lost and lied about it and sworn falsely, so that he sins regarding any of the things that people do; 4 then it shall be, when he sins and becomes guilty, that he shall ( C ) restore what he took by robbery or acquired by extortion, or the deposit which was [ b ] entrusted to him, or the lost property which he found, 5 or anything about which he swore falsely; ( D ) he shall make restitution for it [ c ] in full and add to it a fifth more. ( E ) He shall give it to the one to whom it belongs on the day he presents his guilt offering. 6 Then he shall bring to the priest his guilt offering to the Lord , ( F ) a ram without defect from the flock, according to your assessment, as a guilt offering, 7 and ( G ) the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord , and he will be forgiven for any one of the things which he may have done to incur guilt.”
8 [ d ] Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is ( H ) the law for the burnt offering: the burnt offering itself shall remain on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and ( I ) the fire on the altar is to be kept burning on it. 10 The priest is to put on ( J ) his linen robe, and he shall put on linen undergarments next to his [ e ] body; and he shall take up the fatty ashes to which the fire [ f ] reduces the burnt offering on the altar and place them beside the altar. 11 Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and carry the fatty ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not go out, but the priest shall burn wood on it every morning; and he shall lay out the burnt offering on it, and offer up in smoke the fat portions of the peace offerings ( K ) on it. 13 Fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it is not to go out.
14 ‘Now this is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron shall present it before the Lord in front of the altar. 15 ( L ) Then one of them shall lift up from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, [ g ] with its oil and all the incense that is on the grain offering, and he shall offer it up in smoke on the altar, a soothing aroma, as its memorial offering to the Lord . 16 And Aaron and his sons are to eat ( M ) what is left of it. It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 17 ( N ) It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their share from My offerings by fire; ( O ) it is most holy, like the sin offering and ( P ) the guilt offering. 18 ( Q ) Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it; it is a permanent ordinance throughout your generations, from the offerings by fire to the Lord . [ h ] ( R ) Whoever touches them [ i ] will become consecrated.’”
19 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 20 “This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to present to the Lord on the day when he is anointed; the tenth of an [ j ] ( S ) ephah of fine flour as ( T ) a [ k ] regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 21 It shall be prepared with oil on a ( U ) griddle. When it is well stirred, you shall bring it. You shall present the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to the Lord . 22 The anointed priest who will be in his place [ l ] among his sons shall [ m ] offer it. By a permanent ordinance it shall be entirely offered up in smoke to the Lord . 23 So every grain offering of the priest shall be burned entirely. It shall not be eaten.”
24 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: ( V ) in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before the Lord ; it is most holy. 26 ( W ) The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 27 ( X ) [ n ] Whoever touches its flesh [ o ] will become consecrated; and when any of its blood spatters on a garment, you shall wash what spattered on it in a holy place. 28 Also ( Y ) the earthenware vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken; and if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then it shall be scoured and rinsed in water. 29 ( Z ) Every male among the priests may eat it; ( AA ) it is most holy. 30 But no sin offering ( AB ) of which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement ( AC ) in the Holy Place shall be eaten; ( AD ) it shall be burned with fire.
6 [ a ] The Lord said to Moses: 2 “If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the Lord ( A ) by deceiving a neighbor ( B ) about something entrusted to them or left in their care ( C ) or about something stolen, or if they cheat ( D ) their neighbor, 3 or if they find lost property and lie about it, ( E ) or if they swear falsely ( F ) about any such sin that people may commit— 4 when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return ( G ) what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found, 5 or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution ( H ) in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering. ( I ) 6 And as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord , their guilt offering, ( J ) a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. ( K ) 7 In this way the priest will make atonement ( L ) for them before the Lord , and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”
8 The Lord said to Moses: 9 “Give Aaron and his sons this command: ‘These are the regulations for the burnt offering ( M ) : The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar. ( N ) 10 The priest shall then put on his linen clothes, ( O ) with linen undergarments next to his body, ( P ) and shall remove the ashes ( Q ) of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar. 11 Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean. ( R ) 12 The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood ( S ) and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat ( T ) of the fellowship offerings ( U ) on it. 13 The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.
14 “‘These are the regulations for the grain offering: ( V ) Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the Lord , in front of the altar. 15 The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense ( W ) on the grain offering, ( X ) and burn the memorial [ b ] portion ( Y ) on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord . 16 Aaron and his sons ( Z ) shall eat the rest ( AA ) of it, but it is to be eaten without yeast ( AB ) in the sanctuary area; ( AC ) they are to eat it in the courtyard ( AD ) of the tent of meeting. ( AE ) 17 It must not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share ( AF ) of the food offerings presented to me. ( AG ) Like the sin offering [ c ] and the guilt offering, it is most holy. ( AH ) 18 Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it. ( AI ) For all generations to come ( AJ ) it is his perpetual share ( AK ) of the food offerings presented to the Lord . Whatever touches them will become holy. [ d ] ( AL ) ’”
19 The Lord also said to Moses, 20 “This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he [ e ] is anointed: ( AM ) a tenth of an ephah [ f ] ( AN ) of the finest flour ( AO ) as a regular grain offering, ( AP ) half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21 It must be prepared with oil on a griddle; ( AQ ) bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken [ g ] in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord . 22 The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest ( AR ) shall prepare it. It is the Lord ’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely. ( AS ) 23 Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”
24 The Lord said to Moses, 25 “Say to Aaron and his sons: ‘These are the regulations for the sin offering: ( AT ) The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord ( AU ) in the place ( AV ) the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. 26 The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area, ( AW ) in the courtyard ( AX ) of the tent of meeting. ( AY ) 27 Whatever touches any of the flesh will become holy, ( AZ ) and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in the sanctuary area. 28 The clay pot ( BA ) the meat is cooked in must be broken; but if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot is to be scoured and rinsed with water. 29 Any male in a priest’s family may eat it; ( BB ) it is most holy. ( BC ) 30 But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement ( BD ) in the Holy Place ( BE ) must not be eaten; it must be burned up. ( BF )
