Leviticus 7:1-12 New Century Version (NCV)

1. “ ‘These are the teachings about the penalty offering, which is most holy:

2. The penalty offering must be killed where the whole burnt offering is killed. Then the priest must sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

3. He must offer all the fat from the penalty offering—the fat tail, the fat that covers the inner organs,

4. both kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the best part of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.

5. The priest must burn all these things on the altar as an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a penalty offering.

6. Any male in a priest’s family may eat it. It is most holy, so it must be eaten in a holy place.

7. “ ‘The penalty offering is like the sin offering in that the teachings are the same for both. The priest who offers the sacrifice to remove sins will get the meat for food.

8. The priest who offers the burnt offering may also have the skin from it.

9. Every grain offering that is baked in an oven, cooked on a griddle, or baked in a dish belongs to the priest who offers it.

10. Every grain offering, either dry or mixed with oil, belongs to the priests, and all priests will share alike.

11. “ ‘These are the teachings about the fellowship offering a person may offer to the Lord:

12. If he brings the fellowship offering to show his thanks, he should also bring loaves of bread made without yeast that are mixed with oil, wafers made without yeast that have oil poured over them, and loaves of fine flour that are mixed with oil.
