New Testament

Leviticus 7:2-17 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

2. At the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the reparation offering shall also be slaughtered. Its blood shall be splashed on all the sides of the altar.

3. All of its fat shall be offered: the fatty tail, the fat that covers the inner organs, and all the fat that adheres to them,

4. as well as the two kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which is removed with the kidneys.

5. The priest shall burn these on the altar as an oblation to the Lord. It is a reparation offering.

6. Every male of the priestly line may eat of it; but it must be eaten in a sacred place. It is most holy.

7. Because the purification offering and the reparation offering are alike, both have the same ritual. The reparation offering belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it.

8. As for the priest who offers someone’s burnt offering, to him belongs the hide of the burnt offering that is offered.

9. Also, every grain offering that is baked in an oven or made in a pan or on a griddle shall belong to the priest who offers it,

10. whereas all grain offerings that are mixed with oil or are dry shall belong to all of Aaron’s sons without distinction.

11. This is the ritual for the communion sacrifice that is offered to the Lord.

12. If someone offers it for thanksgiving, that person shall offer it with unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes made of bran flour mixed with oil and well kneaded.

13. One shall present this offering together with loaves of leavened bread along with the thanksgiving communion sacrifice.

14. From this the individual shall offer one bread of each type of offering as a contribution to the Lord; this shall belong to the priest who splashes the blood of the communion offering.

15. The meat of the thanksgiving communion sacrifice shall be eaten on the day it is offered; none of it may be kept till the next morning.

16. However, if the sacrifice offered is a votive or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten on the day the sacrifice is offered, and on the next day what is left over may be eaten.

17. But what is left over of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day must be burned in the fire.
