The Priests and the Offerings – Leviticus 7
- Laws are given for the guilt offering. It is to be killed in the same place in the burnt offering, and its blood will be thrown on the sides of the altar. All its fat will be burned on the altar as a food offering to the Lord, and all the priests will eat of it. The priest who offers the guilt offering (or burnt offering) will have it.
- Laws are given for the peace offering. If it is for a thanksgiving, it should be unleavened loaves mixed with oils, unleavened wafers mixed with oil, or loaves of fine flour mixed with oil. The flesh of the peace offerings must be eaten on the day of the sacrifice. If it is a vow offering or a freewill, offering it can also be eaten the next day. On the third day, whatever is left must be burned.
- If a man eats of the flesh of the sacrifice while an uncleanness is on him, he will be cut off from the people.
- God tells Moses to instruct the people not to eat any fat or blood; people who eat these things will be cut off from the people. Moses is also told that when people bring peace offerings, the fat is to be burned and the meat is to be for Aaron and his sons.
Consecration of Aaron and His Sons – Leviticus 8
- Moses takes Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread, and assembled the congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting. Moses washes the men with water and dresses them in their garments, then uses the anointing oil to anoint the tabernacle, and all that was in it.
- Aaron and his sons sacrifice the bull and rams in the way God directed Moses, then offer the unleavened bread. Moses anoints Aaron and his sons, then tells him to boil the flesh at the entrance to the tent of meeting and eat of it. They are not to go outside the entrance for seven days (until the ordination is complete). Aaron and his sons do as commanded.
