Leviticus, 7

The New American Bible

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 "Take Aaron and his sons, together with the vestments, the anointing oil, the bullock for a sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened food.

3 Then assemble the whole community at the entrance of the meeting tent."

4 And Moses did as the LORD had commanded. When the community had assembled at the entrance of the meeting tent,

5 Moses told them what the LORD had ordered to be done.

6 Bringing forward Aaron and his sons, he first washed them with water.

7 Then he put the tunic on Aaron, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe, placed the ephod on him, and girded him with the embroidered belt of the ephod, fastening it around him.

8 He then set the breastpiece on him, with the Urim and Thummim in it,

9 and put the miter on his head, attaching the gold plate, the sacred diadem, over the front of the miter, at his forehead, as the LORD had commanded him to do.

10 Taking the anointing oil, Moses anointed and consecrated the Dwelling, with all that was in it.

11 Then he sprinkled some of this oil seven times on the altar, and anointed the altar, with all its appurtenances, and the laver, with its base, thus consecrating them.

12 He also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, thus consecrating him.

13 Moses likewise brought forward Aaron's sons, clothed them with tunics, girded them with sashes, and put turbans on them, as the LORD had commanded him to do.

14 When he had brought forward the bullock for a sin offering, Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

15 Then Moses slaughtered it, and taking some of its blood, with his finger he put it on the horns around the altar, thus purifying the altar. He also made atonement for the altar by pouring out the blood at its base when he consecrated it.

16 Taking all the fat that was over the inner organs, as well as the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat, Moses burned them on the altar.

17 The bullock, however, with its hide and flesh and offal he burned in the fire outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded him to do.

18 He next brought forward the holocaust ram, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

19 When he had slaughtered it, Moses splashed its blood on all sides of the altar.

20 After cutting up the ram into pieces, he burned the head, the cut-up pieces and the suet;

21 then, having washed the inner organs and the shanks with water, he also burned these remaining parts of the ram on the altar as a holocaust, a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him to do.

22 Then he brought forward the second ram, the ordination ram, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

23 When he had slaughtered it, Moses took some of its blood and put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

24 Moses had the sons of Aaron also come forward, and he put some of the blood on the tips of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. The rest of the blood he splashed on the sides of the altar.

25 He then took the fat: the fatty tail and all the fat over the inner organs, the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat, and likewise the right leg;

26 from the basket of unleavened food that was set before the LORD he took one unleavened cake, one loaf of bread made with oil, and one wafer; these he placed on top of the portions of fat and the right leg.

27 He then put all these things into the hands of Aaron and his sons, whom he had wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.

28 When he had received them back, Moses burned them with the holocaust on the altar as the ordination offering, a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD.

29 He then took the breast and waved it as a wave offering before the LORD; this was Moses' own portion of the ordination ram. All this was in keeping with the LORD'S command to Moses.

30 Taking some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar, Moses sprinkled with it Aaron and his vestments, as well as his sons and their vestments, thus consecrating both Aaron and his vestments and his sons and their vestments.

31 Finally, Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "Boil the flesh at the entrance of the meeting tent, and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of the ordination offering, in keeping with the command I have received: 'Aaron and his sons shall eat of it.'

32 What is left over of the flesh and the bread you shall burn up in the fire.

33 Moreover, you are not to depart from the entrance of the meeting tent for seven days, until the days of your ordination are completed; for your ordination is to last for seven days.

34 The LORD has commanded that what has been done today be done to make atonement for you.

35 Hence you must remain at the entrance of the meeting tent day and night for seven days, carrying out the prescriptions of the LORD; otherwise, you shall die; for this is the command I have received."

36 So Aaron and his sons did all that the LORD had commanded through Moses.

Leviticus 7 addresses the laws regarding the sacrifices of peace and how the meat of these animals should be consumed. Following are five verses related to the topics addressed in this chapter, in order of proximity to the issues dealt with:

Deuteronomy 12:20-21: "When the Lord, your God, expand your territory, as you promised you, and you said, I will eat flesh, because I have a desire for flesh, according to your desire, you can eat flesh, according to Your soul desire. If the place that the Lord, your God, choose to make your name far from you, then thou shalt kill your cattle and your flock that the Lord has given you, as you have commanded you, and eat inside From your doors, according to your desire and according to your soul. "

Acts 15:29: "May you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from the blood, and the suffocated flesh, and the prostitution; and of these things you do well to keep you.

1 Corinthians 10:25-26: "Start all that is sold in the butcher shop, without asking, because of conscience. For the Lord is the earth and its fullness."

1 Timothy 4:3-5: "To prohibit marriage, and order the abstinence of foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and as many as they fully know the truth. Because every creature of God is good, and There is nothing to reject, being received with thanksgiving. For by the Word of God and prayer is sanctified. "

Romans 14:6-7: "He who makes a case of the day, for the Lord he does it; and who does not make the day of the day, for the Lord not to do. And who does not eat, for the Lord not to eat, and give thanks to God. "

These verses deal with topics related to meat consumption and its origin, as well as the freedom Christians have about it. While Deuteronomy 12:20-21 deals with God's permission to eat flesh within their own doors, Acts 15:29 instructs Christians to abstain from suffocated flesh and offered to idols. 1 Corinthians 10:25-26 and 1 Timothy 4:3-5 indicate that every creature of God is good for consumption and that God's Word and prayer can sanctify food. Finally, Romans 14:6-7 indicates that what matters is the attitude of gratitude to God, regardless of whether or not to eat flesh.
