    A thanksgiving peace offering arrives with an entire little bakery: unleavened cakes, wafers, and fine-flour cakes, followed by leavened bread. The feast is holy, but it also has an expiry schedule strict enough to make a leftover nervous.

    The portions of the holy thingsvv. 1–10

    The guilt offering is slaughtered where the burnt offering is slaughtered, its blood splattered around the altar, while its fat, kidneys, and liver are burned. The priests may eat it in a holy place, and the priest who presents a burnt offering receives its hide. Grain offerings are distributed with equal neatness among the sons of Aaron, which is rather more orderly than most family arrangements.

    The peace offering and its clockvv. 11–21

    The thanksgiving peace offering brings several sorts of unleavened bread, then leavened bread alongside them—a small but striking companion. Its meat must be eaten on the day of the offering. A vow or freewill offering may linger until the next day, but anything remaining on the third day must be burned, and eating it then makes the whole affair an abomination. Meat touched by uncleanness is burned as well; only the ceremonially clean may eat what remains fit for the table.

    Fat, blood, and the portions that remainvv. 22–38

    The instructions then turn from the peace-offering meal to fat and blood: the fat of ox, sheep, and goat is not to be eaten, nor is blood in any dwelling. The peace offering is brought by the offerer's own hands, with fat and breast; the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons, while the right thigh goes to the priest who presents the blood and fat. These portions are called permanent, and the closing lines place the whole collection of laws at Mount Sinai, in the Wilderness of Sinai.

    1. Lev 7:1“Now this is the law of the guilt offering, which is most holy:

    2. Lev 7:2The guilt offering must be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and the priest shall splatter its blood on all sides of the altar.

    3. Lev 7:3And all the fat from it shall be offered: the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails,

    4. Lev 7:4both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.

    5. Lev 7:5The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.

    6. Lev 7:6Every male among the priests may eat of it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

    7. Lev 7:7The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the same law applies to both. It belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it.

    8. Lev 7:8As for the priest who presents a burnt offering for anyone, the hide of that offering belongs to him.

    9. Lev 7:9Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it,

    10. Lev 7:10and every grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.

    11. Lev 7:11Now this is the law of the peace offering that one may present to the LORD:

    12. Lev 7:12If he offers it in thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.

    13. Lev 7:13Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread.

    14. Lev 7:14From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contribution to the LORD. It belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.

    15. Lev 7:15The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day he offers it; none of it may be left until morning.

    16. Lev 7:16If, however, the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, but the remainder may be eaten on the next day.

    17. Lev 7:17But any meat of the sacrifice remaining until the third day must be burned up.

    18. Lev 7:18If any of the meat from his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presented it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

    19. Lev 7:19Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for any other meat, anyone who is ceremonially clean may eat it.

    20. Lev 7:20But if anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.

    21. Lev 7:21If one touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable thing, and then eats any of the meat of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.”

    22. Lev 7:22Then the LORD said to Moses,

    23. Lev 7:23“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘You are not to eat any of the fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

    24. Lev 7:24The fat of an animal found dead or mauled by wild beasts may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.

    25. Lev 7:25If anyone eats the fat of an animal from which a food offering may be presented to the LORD, the one who eats it must be cut off from his people.

    26. Lev 7:26You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your dwellings.

    27. Lev 7:27If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.’”

    28. Lev 7:28Then the LORD said to Moses,

    29. Lev 7:29“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Anyone who presents a peace offering to the LORD must bring it as his sacrifice to the LORD.

    30. Lev 7:30With his own hands he is to bring the food offerings to the LORD; he shall bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the LORD.

    31. Lev 7:31The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.

    32. Lev 7:32And you are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.

    33. Lev 7:33The son of Aaron who presents the blood and fat of the peace offering shall have the right thigh as a portion.

    34. Lev 7:34I have taken from the sons of Israel the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion from the sons of Israel.’”

    35. Lev 7:35This is the portion of the food offerings to the LORD for Aaron and his sons since the day they were presented to serve the LORD as priests.

    36. Lev 7:36On the day they were anointed, the LORD commanded that this be given them by the sons of Israel. It is a permanent portion for the generations to come.

    37. Lev 7:37This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering,

    38. Lev 7:38which the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai.

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
