Numbers 34

Instruction for Apportioning Canaan

1 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance,even theland of Canaan according to its borders.

3 Your southern sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall extend from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.

4 Then your border shall turndirectionfrom the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and itstermination shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon.

5 The border shall turndirectionfrom Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea.

6 ‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is,itscoastline; this shall be your west border.

7 ‘And this shall be your north border: you shall draw yourborderline from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.

8 You shall draw a line from Mount Hor to the Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad;

9 and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.

10 ‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to theslope on the east side of the Sea of Chinnereth.

12 And the border shall go down to the Jordan and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders all around.'”

13 So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the land that you are to apportion by lot among you as a possession, which the Lordhas commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.

14 For the tribe of the sons of Reuben have receivedtheirsaccording to their fathers’ households, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers’ households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession.

15 The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrising.”

16 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

17 “These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.

18 You shall take one leader of every tribe to apportion the land for inheritance.

19 These are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

20 Of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud.

21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

22 Of the tribe of the sons of Dan a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli.

23 Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

24 Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

25 Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

26 Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan.

27 Of the tribe of the sons of Asher a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.

28 Of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”

29 These are those whom the Lordcommanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Numbers 35

Cities for the Levites

1 Now the Lordspoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the JordanoppositeJericho, saying,

2 “Command the sons of Israel that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to live in; and you shall give to the Levites pasture lands around the cities.

3 The cities shall be theirs to live in; and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle and for their herds and for all their beasts.

4 “The pasture lands of the cities which you shall give to the Levitesshall extendfrom the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits around.

5 You shall also measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, with the city in the center. This shall become theirs as pasture lands for the cities.

Cities of Refuge

6 The cities which you shall give to the Levitesshall bethe six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to; and in addition to them you shall give forty-two cities.

7 All the cities which you shall give to the Levitesshall beforty-eight cities, together with their pasture lands.

8 As for the cities which you shall give from the possession of the sons of Israel, you shall take more from the larger and you shall take less from the smaller; each shall give some of his cities to the Levites in proportion to his possession which he inherits.”

9 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

10 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

11 then you shall select for yourselves cities to be your cities of refuge, that the manslayer who has killed any person unintentionally may flee there.

12 The cities shall be to you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands before the congregation for trial.

13 The cities which you are to give shall be your six cities of refuge.

14 You shall give three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan; they are to be cities of refuge.

15 These six cities shall be for refuge for the sons of Israel, and for the alien and for the sojourner among them; that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.

16 ‘But if he struck him down with an iron object, so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.

17 If he struck him down with a stone in the hand, by which he will die, andas a resulthe died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.

18 Or if he struck him with a wooden object in the hand, by which he might die, andas a resulthe died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.

19 The blood avenger himself shall put the murderer to death; he shall put him to death when he meets him.

20 If he pushed him of hatred, or threw something at him lying in wait andas a resulthe died,

21 or if he struck him down with his hand in enmity, andas a resulthe died, the one who struck him shall surely be put to death, he is a murderer; the blood avenger shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.

22 ‘But if he pushed him suddenly without enmity, or threw something at him without lying in wait,

23 or with any deadly object of stone, and without seeing it dropped on him so that he died, while he was not his enemy nor seeking his injury,

24 then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the blood avenger according to these ordinances.

25 The congregation shall deliver the manslayer from the hand of the blood avenger, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge to which he fled; and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.

26 But if the manslayer at any time goes beyond the border of his city of refuge to which he may flee,

27 and the blood avenger finds him outside the border of his city of refuge, and the blood avenger kills the manslayer, he will not be guilty of blood

28 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return to the land of his possession.

29 ‘These things shall be for a statutory ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

30 ‘If anyone kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death at the evidence of witnesses, but no person shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness.

31 Moreover, you shall not take ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall surely be put to death.

32 You shall not take ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may return to live in the land before the death of the priest.

33 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are; for blood pollutes the land and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it.

34 You shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the Lordam dwelling in the midst of the sons of Israel.'”

Numbers 36

Inheritance by Marriage

1 And the heads of the fathers’householdsof the family of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and before the leaders, the heads of the fathers’householdsof the sons of Israel,

2 and they said, “The Lordcommanded my lord to give the land by lot to the sons of Israel as an inheritance, and my lord was commanded by the Lordto give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

3 But if they marry one of the sons of theothertribes of the sons of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; thus it will be withdrawn from our allotted inheritance.

4 When the jubilee of the sons of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; so their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”

5 Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph are right intheirstatements.

6 This is what the Lordhas commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry whom they wish; only they must marry within the family of the tribe of their father.’

7 Thus no inheritance of the sons of Israel shall be transferred from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall each hold to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8 Every daughter who comes into possession of an inheritance of any tribe of the sons of Israel shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, so that the sons of Israel each may possess the inheritance of his fathers.

9 Thus no inheritance shall be transferred from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall each hold to his own inheritance.”

10 Just as the Lordhad commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did:

11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad married their uncles’ sons.

12 They marriedthosefrom the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained with the tribe of the family of their father.

13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which the Lordcommanded to the sons of Israel through Moses in the plains of Moab by the JordanoppositeJericho.

The Law of Burnt Offerings

1 Then the Lordcalled to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When any man of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of animals from the herd or the flock.

3 If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer it, a male without defect; he shall offer it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord.

4 He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf.

11 He shall slay it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

16 He shall also take away its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar eastward, to the place of the ashes.

Leviticus 4

The Law of Sin Offerings

1 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a person sins unintentionally in any of the things which the Lordhas commanded not to be done, and commits any of them,

3 if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer to the Lorda bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.

4 He shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before the Lord, and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slay the bull before the Lord.

5 Then the anointed priest is to take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting,

6 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

7 The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense which is before the Lordin the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

8 He shall remove from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails,

9 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys

10 (just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings), and the priest is to offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering.

11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh with its head and its legs and its entrails and its refuse,

12 that is, allthe rest ofthe bull, he is to bring out to a clean place outside the camp where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

13 ‘Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the things which the Lordhas commanded not to be done, and they become guilty;

14 when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a bull of the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting.

15 Then the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord, and the bull shall be slain before the Lord.

16 Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting;

18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lordin the tent of meeting; and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

19 He shall remove all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar.

20 He shall also do with the bull just as he did with the bull of the sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven.

21 Then he is to bring out the bull toa placeoutside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly.

22 ‘When a leader sins and unintentionally does any one of all the things which the Lordhis God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty,

23 if his sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a male without defect.

26 All its fat he shall offer up in smoke on the altar asin the case ofthe fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin, and he will be forgiven.

27 ‘Now if anyone of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any of the things which the Lordhas commanded not to be done, and becomes guilty,

28 if his sin which he has committed is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without defect, for his sin which he has committed.

29 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slay the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering.

30 The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and allthe rest ofits blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

31 Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar for a soothing aroma to the Lord. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

Leviticus 5

The Law of Guilt Offerings

1 ‘Now if a person sins after he hears a public adjurationto testifywhen he is a witness, whether he has seen orotherwiseknown, if he does not tellit,then he will bear his guilt.

2 Or if a person touches any unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean beast or the carcass of unclean cattle or a carcass of unclean swarming things, though it is hidden from him and he is unclean, then he will be guilty.

3 Or if he touches human uncleanness, of whateversorthis uncleannessmaybe with which he becomes unclean, and it is hidden from him, and then he comes to knowit,he will be guilty.

4 Or if a person swears thoughtlessly with his lips to do evil or to do good, in whatever matter a man may speak thoughtlessly with an oath, and it is hidden from him, and then he comes to knowit,he will be guilty in one of these.

5 So it shall be when he becomes guilty in one of these, that he shall confess that in which he has sinned.

6 He shall also bring his guilt offering to the Lordfor his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin.

7 ‘But if he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lordhis guilt offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first that which is for the sin offering and shall nip its head at the front of its neck, but he shall not severit.

9 He shall also sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar: it is a sin offering.

10 The second he shall then prepare as a burnt offering according to the ordinance. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed, and it will be forgiven him.

11 ‘But if his means are insufficient for two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then for his offering for that which he has sinned, he shall bring the tenth of anephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall not put oil on it or place incense on it, for it is a sin offering.

12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as its memorial portion and offeritup in smoke on the altar, with the offerings of the Lordby fire: it is a sin offering.

13 So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has committed from one of these, and it will be forgiven him; thenthe restshall become the priest’s, like the grain offering.'”

14 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

15 “If a person acts unfaithfully and sins unintentionally against the Lord’sholy things, then he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord: a ram without defect from the flock, according to your valuation in silver by shekels, interms ofthe shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt offering.

16 He shall make restitution for that which he has sinned against the holy thing, and shall add to it a fifth part of it and give it to the priest. The priest shall then make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and it will be forgiven him.

17 “Now if a person sins and does any of the things which the Lordhas commanded not to be done, though he was unaware, still he is guilty and shall bear his punishment.

18 He is then to bring to the priest a ram without defect from the flock, according to your valuation, for a guilt offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his error in which he sinned unintentionally and did not knowit,and it will be forgiven him.

19 It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before the Lord.”

Leviticus 6

Guilt Offering

1 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

2 “When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against the Lord, and deceives his companion in regard to a deposit or a security entrustedto him,or through robbery, orifhe has extorted from his companion,

3 or has found what was lost and lied about it and sworn falsely, so that he sins in regard to any one of the things a man may do;

4 then it shall be, when he sins and becomes guilty, that he shall restore what he took by robbery or what he got by extortion, or the deposit which was entrusted to him or the lost thing which he found,

5 or anything about which he swore falsely; he shall make restitution for it in full and add to it one-fifth more. He shall give it to the one to whom it belongs on the dayhe presentshis guilt offering.

6 Then he shall bring to the priest his guilt offering to the Lord, a ram without defect from the flock, according to your valuation, for a guilt offering,

7 and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he will be forgiven for any one of the things which he may have done to incur guilt.”

The Priest’s Part in the Offerings

8 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the law for the burnt offering: the burnt offering itselfshall remainon the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire on the altar is to be kept burning on it.

10 The priest is to put on his linen robe, and he shall put on undergarments next to his flesh; and he shall take up the ashestowhich the fire reduces the burnt offering on the altar and place them beside the altar.

11 Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not go out, but the priest shall burn wood on it every morning; and he shall lay out the burnt offering on it, and offer up in smoke the fat portions of the peace offerings on it.

13 Fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it is not to go out.

14 ‘Now this is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron shall present it before the Lordin front of the altar.

15 Then oneof themshall lift up from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with its oil and all the incense that is on the grain offering, and he shall offeritup in smoke on the altar, a soothing aroma, as its memorial offering to the Lord.

16 What is left of it Aaron and his sons are to eat. It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; they are to eat it in the court of the tent of meeting.

17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their share from My offerings by fire; it is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.

18 Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it; it is a permanent ordinance throughout your generations, from the offerings by fire to the Lord. Whoever touches them will become consecrated.'”

19 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

20 “This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to present to the Lordon the day when he is anointed; the tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.

21 It shall be prepared with oil on a griddle. When it iswellstirred, you shall bring it. You shall present the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to the Lord.

22 The anointed priest who will be in his place among his sons shall offer it. By a permanent ordinance it shall be entirely offered up in smoke to the Lord.

23 So every grain offering of the priest shall be burned entirely. It shall not be eaten.”

24 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: in the place where the burnt offering is slain the sin offering shall be slain before the Lord; it is most holy.

26 The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the tent of meeting.

27 Anyone who touches its flesh will become consecrated; and when any of its blood splashes on a garment, in a holy place you shall wash what was splashed on.

28 Also the earthenware vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken; and if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then it shall be scoured and rinsed in water.

29 Every male among the priests may eat of it; it is most holy.

30 But no sin offering of which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place shall be eaten; it shall be burned with fire.

Leviticus 7

The Priest’s Part in the Offerings

1 ‘Now this is the law of the guilt offering; it is most holy.

2 In the place where they slay the burnt offering they are to slay the guilt offering, and he shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

3 Then he shall offer from it all its fat: the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails,

4 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the lobe on the liver he shall remove with the kidneys.

5 The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the Lord; it is a guilt offering.

6 Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering, there is one law for them; the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.

8 Also the priest who presents any man’s burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has presented.

9 Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in the oven and everything prepared in a pan or on a griddle shall belong to the priest who presents it.

10 Every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron, to all alike.

11 ‘Now this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be presented to the Lord.

12 If he offers it by way of thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakesof wellstirred fine flour mixed with oil.

13 With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving, he shall present his offering with cakes of leavened bread.

14 Of this he shall present one of every offering as a contribution to the Lord; it shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

15 ‘Nowas forthe flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings, it shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it over until morning.

16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a votive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day what is left of it may be eaten;

17 but what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.

18 So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings shouldeverbe eaten on the third day, he who offers it will not be accepted,andit will not be reckoned to hisbenefit.It shall be an offensive thing, and the person who eats of it will bear hisowniniquity.

19 ‘Also the flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. As forotherflesh, anyone who is clean may eatsuchflesh.

20 But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the Lord, in his uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from his people.

21 When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any uncleandetestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.'”

22 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

23 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘You shall not eat any fatfroman ox, a sheep or a goat.

24 Also the fat ofan animalwhich dies and the fat of an animal tornby beastsmay be put to any other use, but you must certainly not eat it.

25 For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which an offering by fire is offered to the Lord, even the person who eats shall be cut off from his people.

26 You are not to eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your dwellings.

27 Any person who eats any blood, even that person shall be cut off from his people.'”

28 Then the Lordspoke to Moses, saying,

29 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the Lordshall bring his offering to the Lordfrom the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

30 His own hands are to bring offerings by fire to the Lord. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be presented as a wave offering before the Lord.

31 The priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons.

32 You shall give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

33 The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, the right thigh shall be his ashisportion.

34 For I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons astheirdue forever from the sons of Israel.

35 ‘This is that which is consecrated to Aaron and that which is consecrated to his sons from the offerings by fire to the Lord, in that day when he presented them to serve as priests to the Lord.

36 These the Lordhad commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel in the day that He anointed them. It istheirdue forever throughout their generations.'”

37 This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering and the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings,

38 which the Lordcommanded Moses at Mount Sinai in the day that He commanded the sons of Israel to present their offerings to the Lordin the wilderness of Sinai.
