New Testament

Leviticus 7:2-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

2. Therefore, where the holocaust is immolated, the victim for a transgression shall also be slain. Its blood shall be poured out all around the altar.

3. They shall offer from it: the rump, and the fat that covers the vital organs,

4. the two little kidneys, and the fat that is near the sides, and the mesh of the liver with the little kidneys.

5. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar. It is the incense of the Lord on behalf of a transgression.

6. Every male of priestly descent shall feed on this flesh in a holy place, because it is the Holy of holies.

7. Just as the sacrifice for sin is offered, so also for a transgression; one law shall be for both sacrifices. It shall belong to the priest who offers it.

8. The priest who offers the victim of holocaust shall have its skin.

9. And every sacrifice of fine wheat flour which is baked in the oven, and whatever is prepared on the oven grating or in the frying pan, shall be for the priest who offers it.

10. Whether these will be sprinkled with oil, or left dry, an equal measure shall be divided to each one of the sons of Aaron.

11. This is the law of the victim of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord.

12. If the oblation will be an act for giving thanks, they shall offer bread without leaven sprinkled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine wheat flour fried, and cakes sprinkled and mixed with oil,

13. and also, leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, which is immolated for peace offerings.

14. Of these, one shall be offered to the Lord as the first-fruits, and one shall be for the priest who will pour out the blood of the victim.

15. The flesh of it shall be eaten on the same day; neither shall any of it remain until morning.

16. If anyone, by a vow or of his own accord, will have offered a sacrifice, it shall be eaten in a similar manner on the same day. But then if any of it will have remained until tomorrow, it is lawful to eat it.

17. Then whatever will be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.

18. If anyone will have eaten from the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation will be nullified; neither will it benefit the one who offered it. But instead, whatever soul will contaminate itself with such foods will be guilty of a betrayal.
