1 The Lord gave the following regulations to Moses. 2 An offering is to be made if any of you sin against the Lord by refusing to return what another Israelite has left as a deposit or by stealing something from him or by cheating him 3 or by lying about something that has been lost and swearing that you did not find it. 4-5 When you sin in any of these ways, you must repay whatever you got by dishonest means. On the day you are found guilty, you must repay the owner in full, plus an additional 20 percent. 6 You shall bring to the priest as your repayment offering to the Lord a male sheep or goat without any defects. Its value is to be determined according to the official standard. 7 The priest shall offer the sacrifice for your sin, and you will be forgiven.
Sacrifices Burned Whole
8 The Lord commanded Moses 9 to give Aaron and his sons the following regulations for burnt offerings. A burnt offering is to be left on the altar all night long, and the fire is to be kept burning. 10 Then the priest, wearing his linen robe and linen shorts, shall remove the greasy ashes left on the altar and put them at the side of the altar. 11 Then he shall change his clothes and take the ashes outside the camp to a ritually clean place. 12 The fire on the altar must be kept burning and never allowed to go out. Every morning the priest shall put firewood on it, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat of the fellowship offering. 13 The fire must always be kept burning on the altar and never allowed to go out.
Grain Offerings
14 The following are the regulations for grain offerings. An Aaronite priest shall present the grain offering to the Lord in front of the altar. 15 Then he shall take a handful of the flour and oil, and the incense on it, and burn it on the altar as a token that all of it has been offered to the Lord. The odor of this offering is pleasing to the Lord. 16-17 The priests shall eat the rest of it. It shall be made into bread baked without yeast and eaten in a holy place, the courtyard of the Tent of the Lord's presence. The Lord has given it to the priests as their part of the food offerings. It is very holy, like the sin offerings and the repayment offerings. 18 For all time to come any of the male descendants of Aaron may eat it as their continuing share of the food offered to the Lord. Anyone else who touches a food offering will be harmed by the power of its holiness.
19 The Lord gave Moses the following regulations 20 for the ordination of an Aaronite priest. On the day he is ordained, he shall present as an offering to the Lord two pounds of flour (the same amount as the daily grain offering), half in the morning and half in the evening. 21 It is to be mixed with oil and cooked on a griddle and then crumbled and presented as a grain offering, an odor pleasing to the Lord. 22 For all time to come this offering is to be made by every descendant of Aaron who is serving as High Priest. It shall be completely burned as a sacrifice to the Lord. 23 No part of a grain offering that a priest makes may be eaten; all of it must be burned.
Sin Offerings
24 The Lord commanded Moses 25 to give Aaron and his sons the following regulations for sin offerings. The animal for a sin offering shall be killed on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed. This is a very holy offering. 26 The priest who sacrifices the animal shall eat it in a holy place, the courtyard of the Tent of the Lord's presence. 27 Anyone or anything that touches the flesh of the animal will be harmed by the power of its holiness. If any article of clothing is spattered with the animal's blood, it must be washed in a holy place. 28 Any clay pot in which the meat is boiled must be broken, and if a metal pot is used, it must be scrubbed and rinsed with water. 29 Any male of the priestly families may eat this offering; it is very holy. 30 But if any of the blood is brought into the Tent and used in the ritual to take away sin, the animal must not be eaten; it must be burned.
Norādījumi priesteriem par upurēšanu
1 Kungs sacīja Mozum: 2 “Pavēli Āronam un viņa dēliem: šī ir sadedzināmā upura kārtība. Sadedzināmais upuris lai paliek altāra pavardā visu nakti līdz rītam, un altārī lai kvēl uguns. 3 Priesteris lai apvelk linu drānas, lai uzvelk linu īsbikses uz miesas un izgrābj pelnus no tā, ko sadedzināmā upura uguns ir aprijusi uz altāra, un izber tos blakus altārim. 4 Tad lai viņš novelk drānas, uzvelk citas un iznes pelnus ārpus nometnes uz šķīstu vietu. 5 Uguns altārī lai kvēl un neapdziest, priesteris lai katru rītu dedzina tur malku, sakārto uz tās sadedzināmo upuri un kvēpina virs tā miera upura taukus. 6 Uguns vienmēr lai kvēl uz altāra, lai tā neapdziest.
7 Šis ir likums par labības dāvanu. Lai Ārona dēli pienes to Kungam altāra priekšā. 8 Lai ņem sauju labāko labības dāvanas miltu ar eļļu un vīraku, kas pār labības dāvanu, un kvēpina uz altāra par tīkamu smaržu, par piemiņas daļu Kungam. 9 Atlikumu lai ēd Ārons un viņa dēli – neraudzētu lai to ēd svētā vietā, lai ēd to Saiešanas telts pagalmā. 10 Lai to necep ar raugu! Es tiem esmu devis daļu no dedzināmajiem upuriem – tas ir svētumu svētums tāpat kā grēku upuris un vainas upuris. 11 Ikviens Ārona dēls lai ēd to, šis ir mūžīgs likums uz jūsu paaudzēm par Kunga dedzināmajiem upuriem – katrs, kas tiem pieskaras, top svēts!”
12 Un Kungs sacīja Mozum: 13 “Šī ir upurvelte, kas Āronam un viņa dēliem jāpienes tajā dienā, kad tie tiks svaidīti, – katru reizi desmito daļu ēfas labāko miltu par labības dāvanu, pusi rītā un pusi vakarā. 14 Lai to taisa uz plāts, iejautu eļļā, lai labības dāvanu cep, sadala gabalos un pienes par tīkamu smaržu Kungam. 15 Lai to dara svaidīts priesteris, kas pēc viņa nāks no viņa dēliem. Tas ir mūžīgs likums – tā visa jākvēpina Kungam. 16 Katra priestera labības dāvana lai tiek kvēpināta pilnīgi visa – to lai neēd!”
17 Un Kungs sacīja Mozum: 18 “Saki Āronam un viņa dēliem: šis ir likums par grēku upuri. Grēku upuri lai kauj Kunga priekšā tajā vietā, kur kauj sadedzināmo upuri, – tas ir svētumu svētums! 19 Priesteris, kas to upurē par grēkiem, lai ēd to svētā vietā, lai tas tiek ēsts Saiešanas telts pagalmā. 20 Katrs, kas pieskaras tā gaļai, top svēts, bet, ja uz drānām uzšļakstās asinis, uzšļakstītais tev jānomazgā svētā vietā. 21 Māla trauku, kur tas vārīts, lai sadauza, bet, ja tas vārīts vara traukā, lai to izberž un izskalo ar ūdeni. 22 Ikviens priesteris lai ēd to – tas ir svētumu svētums! 23 Bet nevienu grēku upuri, kura asinis ir nestas uz Saiešanas telti, lai veiktu izlīgumu par grēku svētvietā, nedrīkst ēst – to lai sadedzina ugunī!
