Leviticus 7:18-32 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

18. And if indeed some of the meat of his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted; it will not be considered of benefit for the one who presented it—it shall be unclean meat, and the person who eats it shall bear his guilt.

19. And the meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned with fire, and as for the clean meat, anyone who is clean may eat the meat.

20. And the person who eats meat from the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice, which is for Yahweh, and whose uncleanness is upon him—that person shall be cut off from his people.

21. And when a person touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean detestable thing, and he eats from the meat of the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice, which is for Yahweh, then that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

22. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23. “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘You must not eat any fat of ox, or sheep, or goat;

24. and a dead body’s fat or mangled carcass’s fat may be used for any purpose, but you certainly must not eat it.

25. When anyone eats fat from the domestic animal from which he presented an offering made by fire for Yahweh, then that person who ate shall be cut off from his people.

26. And in any of your dwellings, you must not eat any blood belonging to birds or domestic animals.

27. Any person who eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

28. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

29. “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘The one who presents his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice for Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice.

30. His own hands must bring Yahweh’s offerings made by fire. He must bring the fat in addition to the breast section to wave the breast section as a wave offering before Yahweh,

31. and the priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, and the breast section shall be for Aaron and his sons.

32. And the right upper thigh you must give as a contribution for the priest from your fellowship offerings’ sacrifice.
