Leviticus 6

Chapter 6 in 30 seconds

If you cheat your neighbor, lie about something you found or keep what was left in your care, you pay it all back plus one fifth more, then bring your offering. Saying sorry includes paying for the damage. And the fire on the altar must never go out, day or night.

Sins Requiring a Guilt Offering// Leviticus 5:14–19; Leviticus 7:1–10

1And Yahweh said to Moses, 2“If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against Yahweh by deceiving his neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him or stolen, or if he extorts his neighbor 3or finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that a man might commit— 4once he has sinned and becomes guilty, he must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost property he found, 5or anything else about which he has sworn falsely.

He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value, and pay it to the owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt. 6Then he must bring to the priest his guilt offering to Yahweh: an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock. 7In this way the priest will make atonement for him before Yahweh, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”

The Burnt Offering// Leviticus 1:1–17

8Then Yahweh said to Moses, 9“Command Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the hearth of the altar all night, until morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.

10And the priest shall put on his linen robe and linen undergarments, and he shall remove from the altar the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed and place them beside it. 11Then he must take off his garments, put on other clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place.

12The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it must not be extinguished. Every morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings on it. 13The fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not be extinguished.

The Grain Offering// Leviticus 2:1–16

14Now this is the law of the grain offering: Aaron’s sons shall present it before Yahweh in front of the altar. 15The priest is to remove a handful of fine flour and olive oil, together with all the frankincense from the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to Yahweh.

16Aaron and his sons are to eat the remainder. It must be eaten without leaven in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. 17It must not be baked with leaven; I have assigned it as their portion of My food offerings. It is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering. 18Any male among the sons of Aaron may eat it. This is a permanent portion from the food offerings to Yahweh for the generations to come. Anything that touches them will become holy.”

19Then Yahweh said to Moses, 20“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons must present to Yahweh on the day he is anointed: two quarts of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21It shall be prepared with oil on a griddle; you are to bring it well-kneaded and present it as a grain offering broken in pieces, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh. 22The priest, who is one of Aaron’s sons and will be anointed to take his place, is to prepare it. As a permanent portion for Yahweh, it must be burned completely. 23Every grain offering for a priest shall be burned completely; it is not to be eaten.”

The Sin Offering// Leviticus 4:1–35; Leviticus 5:1–13

24And Yahweh said to Moses, 25“Tell Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before Yahweh; it is most holy. 26The priest who offers it shall eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. 27Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in a holy place.

28The clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled must be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze pot, the pot must be scoured and rinsed with water. 29Any male among the priests may eat it; it is most holy. 30But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place; it must be burned.
