New Testament

Leviticus 6:1-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2. When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against the Lord by lying to another concerning something left in storage, or entrusted to him, or theft, or by extorting his neighbor,

3. or by finding a lost item and lying about it, and he swears falsely concerning one of all the things that a man may do to sin in these things,

4. when he sins and he is found guilty, he shall return whatever he stole, or whatever he extorted, or whatever was left in storage with him, or the lost item which he found,

5. or about which he swore falsely, then he shall repay it in full and shall add one-fifth to it. He shall give it to whom it belongs on the day that he is found guilty.

6. And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord, a ram without blemish from the flock—or its equivalent value—for a guilt offering to the priest.

7. And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he shall be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.

8. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

9. Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law for the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.

10. The priest shall put on his linen robe, and his linen undergarments on his body. Then he shall remove the ashes from the fire of the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.

11. Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and he shall bring the 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. The priest shall feed it with wood every morning. He will arrange the burnt offering on it, and he shall burn the fat of the peace offerings on it.
