1) Leviticus 5-7

LEVITICUS 5

The Guilt Offering

1 (Lev 5:17; Pr 29:24; Lev 7:18 )When a person sins in hearing the spoken 
oath, and he is a witness, whether he saw or knew about the incident, 
if he does not report it, he bears guilt.
2 (Lev 5:17; Dt 14:8) Or when a person touches any ceremonially unclean 
thing, whether it is a carcass of unclean wildlife, or a carcass of 
an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean crawling thing,
and he did not realize it, then he has become unclean and guilty.
3 (Lev 12:1-8; 15:1-33) Or when he touches human uncleanness, 
any uncleanness by which he may become ceremonially unclean, 
and he did not realize it, when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty.
4 (Jdg 11:31; 1Sa 25:22) Or when a person swears by speaking rashly 
with his lips to do evil or to do good, anything that a man may speak 
rashly by oath, and he did not realize it, but when he realizes it,
then he has become guilty of any of these things.
5 (Nu 5:7; Lev 16:21; 26:40) When he becomes guilty of one of these things,
he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing. 
6 (Lev 4:28; 4:32) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord 
for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or goat,
for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement 
for him concerning his sin.
7 (Lev 12:8; 14:21-22) If he cannot afford an animal, then he shall 
bring for his guilt offering, on account of the sin that he committed,
two turtledoves or two pigeons to the Lord, one for a sin offering 
and one for a burnt offering. 
8 (Lev 1:15; 1:17) He shall bring them to the priest who shall offer
 the one for the sin offering first. He will wring off its head at 
its neck, but he shall not sever it. 
9 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin
offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be
poured out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. 
10 (Lev 1:14-17; 4:26; 4:20) But the second he shall treat as a burnt
offering according to the regulation. The priest shall make atonement
for him for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.
11 (Nu 5:15; Lev 2:1-2) But if he cannot afford to bring two turtledoves
or two pigeons, he shall bring for his offering for the sin that 
he committed one-tenth of an ephah
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
 of wheat flour for a sin offering. He shall not place olive oil on it,
 nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. 
12 (Lev 2:9; 2:2) Then he shall bring it to the priest, 
and the priest shall scoop out a handful from it as a memorial portion
and burn it on the altar as a food offering to the Lord made by fire.
It is a sin offering. 
13 (Lev 2:3; 4:26) The priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his sin that he committed from any of these offenses, and he shall be
forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.

[1] And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness,
whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall
bear his iniquity.
[2] Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an
unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean
creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and
guilty.
[3] Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that
a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of
it, then he shall be guilty.
[4] Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good,
whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from
him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
[5] And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he
shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which
he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a
sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his
sin.
[7] And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his
trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
[8] And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is
for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall
not divide it asunder:
[9] And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of
the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the
altar: it is a sin offering.
[10] And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the
manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he
hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
[11] But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah
of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall
he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
[12] Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his
handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according
to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.
[13] And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that
he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the
remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.

Offerings With Restitution

14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
15 (Ex 30:13; Lev 4:2) When a person acts unfaithfully and sins 
unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord, 
then for his restitution offering to the Lord he shall bring a ram
without blemish from the flock - or its equivalent, in your estimation,
in silver shekels (using the sanctuary shekel 
(About 2/5 ounce, or 12 grams.))
-for a guilt offering. 
16 (Lev 22:14; Nu 5:7) And he shall repay the sin that he committed
with regard to the holy thing and shall add a fifth to it and give
it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram
of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.
17 (Lev 4:13; 4:27) If a person sins unintentionally
 and does any one of the things that by commandments
 of the Lord should not be done and he is found guilty, 
he shall bear his iniquity. 
18 (Lev 5:15-16) He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish 
from the flock - or its equivalent value 
(This is a shorthand version of the full formula found in Lev 5:15.)
-for a guilt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his error that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven. 
19 It is a guilt offering: He has indeed incurred guilt before the Lord.

[14] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[15] If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy
things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram
without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver,
after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
[16] And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy
thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest:
and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass
offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
[17] And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden
to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he
guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
[18] And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy
estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall
make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist
it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
[19] It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the
LORD. 

LEVITICUS 6

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
2 (Ex 22:7 - 10; Lev 19:11) When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against
the Lord by lying to another concerning something left in storage, 
or entrusted to him, or theft, or by extorting his neighbor, 
3 (Ex 23:4; Lev 19:12) or by finding a lost item and lying about it, 
and he swears falsely concerning one of all the things that a man 
may do to sin in these things, 
4 when he sins and he is found guilty, he shall return whatever he stole,
 or whatever he extorted, or whatever was left in storage with him, 
or the lost item which he found, 
5 (Lev 5:16; Nu 5:7-8) or about which he swore falsely, then he shall 
repay it in full and shall add one-fifth to it. He shall give it to 
whom it belongs on the day that he is found guilty. 
6 (Lev 5:15; 5:18) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord,
a ram without blemish from the flock - 
(or its equivalent value (Shorthand version of the 
full formula found in Lev 5:15.))
 - for a guilt offering to the priest. 
7 (Lev 4:26) And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and
he shall be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his
neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a
thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
[3] Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth
falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
[4] Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall
restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath
deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost
thing which he found,
[5] Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it
in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it
unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without
blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto
the priest:
[7] And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it
shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing
therein.

The Law of the Burnt Offering

8 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
9 (Nu 28:3; Ex 29:38-42) Command Aaron and his sons, saying: 
This is the law for the burnt offering. 
The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night 
until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 
10 (Ex 28:39-43; Lev 16:4) The priest shall put on his linen robe, 
and his linen undergarments on his body. 
Then he shall remove the ashes from the fire 
of the burnt offering on the altar, 
and he shall put them beside the altar. 
11 (Lev 4:12; Eze 44:19) Then he shall take off his garments 
and put on other garments, and he shall bring 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.
The priest shall feed it with wood every morning. He will arrange 
the burnt offering on it, and he shall burn the fat of 
the peace offerings on it. 
13 A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar. 
It shall never go out.

[8] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[9] Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt
offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar
all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in
it.
[10] And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches
shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath
consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside
the altar.
[11] And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry
forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
[12] And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put
out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt
offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace
offerings.
[13] The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

The Law of the Grain Offering

14 (Nu 15:4) This is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron
shall offer it before the Lord on the altar. 
15 (Lev 2:2; 2:9) He shall take from it a handful of the flour 
of the grain offering, and of the oil and all the frankincense
which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar
for a pleasing aroma as a memorial to the Lord. 
16 (Lev 2:3; Eze 44:29) Aaron and his sons shall eat the remainder of it;
it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place. 
They shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting. 
17 (Lev 2:11; 6:25) It shall not be baked with leaven. 
I have given it to them for their portion of My food offerings made by fire.
 It is most holy, as is the sin offering and as is the guilt offering. 
18 (Lev 6:29; Nu 18:10) All the males among the children of Aaron shall 
eat of it. It shall be a perpetual statute in your generations concerning
the food offerings of the Lord made by fire. 
Everyone who touches them shall become holy.
19 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
20 (Ex 16:36; 29:2) This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which
they shall offer to the Lord in the day when he is anointed: 
a tenth part of an ephah 
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
of wheat flour for a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning 
and half at night. 
21 (Lev 2:5; 7:9) It shall be made on a griddle with olive oil. 
When it is well mixed, you shall bring it; and the baked pieces 
of the grain offering you shall offer as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 
22 The priest from among the sons of Aaron who is anointed to succeed 
him shall offer it. It is a perpetual statute to the Lord. 
It shall be completely burned up. 
23 For every grain offering for the priest shall be completely burned up.
It shall not be eaten.

[14] And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer
it before the LORD, before the altar.
[15] And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering,
and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat
offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the
memorial of it, unto the LORD.
[16] And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened
bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of
the congregation they shall eat it.
[17] It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their
portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin
offering, and as the trespass offering.
[18] All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be
a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD
made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
[19] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[20] This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer
unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of
fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and
half thereof at night.
[21] In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt
bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for
a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[22] And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer
it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD, it shall be wholly burnt.
[23] For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall
not be eaten.

The Law of the Sin Offering

24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
25 (Lev 4:24; 1:11; 1:3) Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying:
This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt
offering is killed shall the sin offering also be killed 
before the Lord. It is most holy. 
26 (Lev 10:17-18; Eze 44:28-29) The priest who offers it 
for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten
in the court of the tent of meeting. 
27 (Ex 29:37) Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy, 
and when blood is sprinkled on any garment, 
you shall wash it in a holy place. 
28 (Lev 11:33; 15:12) And the clay vessel where it is boiled 
shall be broken, and if it is boiled in a bronze pot,
it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water. 
29 All the males among the priests shall eat from this offering. 
It is most holy. 
30 (Lev 4:3-21; 10:18) Any sin offering where blood is brought
into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place 
shall not be eaten. It shall be burned up in the fire.

[24] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[25] Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin
offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin
offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy.
[26] The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place
shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[27] Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there
is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that
whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
[28] But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it
be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
[29] All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
[30] And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the
tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall
be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire. 

LEVITICUS 7

The Law of the Guilt Offering

1 (Lev 5:1-6; 5:14-6:7) Likewise this is the law of the guilt offering.
It is most holy. 
2 (Lev 1:5; 1:11) In the place where they kill the burnt offering 
they shall kill the guilt offering, and its blood shall he sprinkle
 on the sides of the altar. 
3 (Ex 29:13; Lev 3:15-16) He shall offer all the fat. 
The fatty tail and the fat that covers the entrails, 
4 and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins,
and the appendage that is above the liver, along with the kidneys, 
he shall take away. 
5 And the priest shall burn them on the altar for a food offering made 
by fire to the Lord. It is a guilt offering. 
6 (Lev 6:29; 2:3) Every male among the priests shall eat from it. 
It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.
7 (Lev 6:25-26; 14:13) As the sin offering, so is the guilt offering;
there is one law for them: the priest who makes atonement shall have it.
8 The priest who offers anyone's burnt offering shall have for himself 
the skin of the burnt offering that he has offered. 
9 (Lev 2:10; Nu 18:9) Every grain offering that is baked in the oven 
and all that is prepared in a pan or griddle shall be for the priest 
who offers it. 
10 And every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry,
shall be equally shared among all the sons of Aaron.

[1] Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
[2] In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the
trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon
the altar.
[3] And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that
covereth the inwards,
[4] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the
flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he
take away:
[5] And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by
fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering.
[6] Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the
holy place: it is most holy.
[7] As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law
for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.
[8] And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest
shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
[9] And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is
dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that
offereth it.
[10] And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons
of Aaron have, one as much as another.

The Law of Peace Offerings

11 This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings 
that a person shall offer to the Lord.
12 (Lev 2:4; Nu 6:15) If he gives it as a thanksgiving offering,
then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice unleavened cakes
mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil, 
and cakes of wheat flour mixed with olive oil. 
13 (Am 4:5; Lev 23:17) Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering
leavened bread with the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings. 
14 (Nu 18:19; Ex 29:27-28) From this he shall offer one loaf 
from each offering, as a gift to the Lord. It shall be 
for the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings. 
15 The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings 
for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered;
he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
16 (Lev 19:5-8; Dt 12:6) But if the sacrifice of his offering
is a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day
that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day 
also the remainder of it can be eaten. 
17 (Ex 12:10) But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice 
on the third day shall be burned up with fire. 
18 (Lev 19:7-8; 11:41) If any of the flesh of the sacrifice
of his peace offerings is eaten at all on the third day, 
the one eating shall not be accepted, 
nor shall it be imputed to him who offers it. 
It shall be contaminated, 
and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
19 The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten.
It shall be burned up with fire. And as for the other flesh, 
all who are ritually clean can eat of it. 
20 But the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings
that belong to the Lord, and who has any uncleanness on him, 
that individual shall be cut off from his people. 
21 (Lev 5:2-3; 11:10-13) Moreover the person who shall touch any unclean 
thing, whether the uncleanness of man or any unclean beast or any 
detestable unclean creature, and then eats of the flesh 
of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord, 
that individual shall be cut off from his people.

[11] And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall
offer unto the LORD.
[12] If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the
sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened
wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
[13] Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with
the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
[14] And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave
offering unto the LORD, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the
blood of the peace offerings.
[15] And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving
shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it
until the morning.
[16] But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering,
it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the
morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
[17] But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall
be burnt with fire.
[18] And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be
eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be
imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul
that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
[19] And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it
shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat
thereof.
[20] But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace
offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even
that soul shall be cut off from his people.
[21] Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the
uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing,
and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto
the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden

22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
23 (Lev 3:16-17) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:
You shall not eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat. 
24 (Ex 22:31; Lev 17:15) The fat of an animal that dies 
of itself and the fat of that which is torn by beasts 
may be used in any other way, but you shall certainly not eat of it. 
25 For whoever eats the fat of an animal that is a food offering made
by fire to the Lord, that individual shall be cut off from his people. 
26 (Ge 9:4; Lev 3:17) Moreover you shall not eat any manner of blood,
whether from a fowl or animal, in any of your dwellings. 
27 Whoever eats any manner of blood, that individual 
shall be cut off from his people.

[22] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[23] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of
fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
[24] And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that
which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no
wise eat of it.
[25] For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an
offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be
cut off from his people.
[26] Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of
beast, in any of your dwellings.
[27] Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul
shall be cut off from his people.

The Priests' Share

28 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 
29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He who offers the sacrifice
of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his sacrifice to the Lord
from his peace offerings. 
30 (Nu 6:20; Lev 3:3-4) His own hands shall bring the food offerings 
of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breast that the breast 
may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord. 
31 (Lev 3:5; 3:11) The priest shall burn the fat on the altar,
but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons. 
32 (Lev 7:34; 9:21) The right thigh you shall give to the priest
 for a contribution offering for the sacrifice of your peace offerings.
33 The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood 
of the peace offerings and the fat shall have 
the right thigh for his portion. 
34 (Nu 18:18-19; Lev 10:14-15) For the breast that is waved 
and the thigh that is contributed I have taken from the children of Israel,
from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to 
Aaron the priest and to his sons as a perpetual portion 
from the children of Israel.
35 This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons, 
from the food offerings of the Lord made by fire, 
in the day when Moses presented them to minister as priests before the Lord,
36 (Lev 8:12; 8:30) which the Lord commanded that they be given this,
in the day that he anointed them, from the children of Israel 
as a perpetual portion throughout their generations.
37 (Ex 29:1) This is the law of the burnt offering, 
of the grain offering, and of the sin offering, 
and of the guilt offering, 
and of the ordinations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings, 
38 (Lev 1:1-2) which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, 
in the day that He commanded the children of Israel to offer 
their offerings to the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai.

[28] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[29] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the
sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto
the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
[30] His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the
fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a
wave offering before the LORD.
[31] And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall
be Aaron's and his sons'.
[32] And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave
offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
[33] He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace
offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
[34] For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children
of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given
them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from
among the children of Israel.
[35] This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of
his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he
presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;
[36] Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in
the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their
generations.
[37] This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the
sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of
the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
[38] Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he
commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in
the wilderness of Sinai.

1 Corinthians 13:4-13

4 (Col 3:12; Pr 10:12) Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not;
love flaunts not itself and is not puffed up,
5 (1Co 10:24; Php 2:21) does not behave itself improperly, seeks not its own,
is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;
6 (2Jn 1:4; Ro 1:32) rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7 (1Co 13:4) bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
and endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they shall fail;
if there are tongues, they shall cease; and if there is knowledge,
it shall vanish.
9 (1Co 8:2; 13:12) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect comes, then that which is imperfect
shall pass away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child,
and I thought as a child. But when I became a man,
I put away childish things.
12 (2Co 5:7; 1Jn 3:2) For now we see as through a glass, dimly, but then,
face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know,
even as I also am known.
13 (Gal 5:6; 1Co 16:14; 1Pe 1:21) So now abide faith, hope, and love,
these three. But the greatest of these is love.

[4] Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
[5] Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil;
[6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
[7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth
all things.
[8] Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;
whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it
shall vanish away.
[9] For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
[10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part
shall be done away.
[11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
[12] For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I
know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
[13] And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of
these is charity. 

At Meredith's wedding, her mother read a beautiful Scripture 
from 1 Corinthians. Often called "the love chapter" of the Bible, the 13th 
chapter sounded perfect for the occasion. 
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, 
it is not proud" (v. 4). Listening, I wondered if modern brides and grooms 
knew what prompted the apostle's stirring words. Paul wasn't writing a love 
poem. The apostle penned a plea to a divided church in an effort to heal 
its raging divisions.

Simply put, the church at Corinth "was a mess," says scholar Douglas A. 
Campbell. Seething problems included incest, prostitution, and rivalry among 
leaders. Lawsuits between members weren't uncommon. Worship was often 
chaotic-with those speaking in tongues competing to be heard first, and others
prophesying to look impressive (see 1 Corinthians 14).

Underlying this chaos, says Campbell, was "a basic failure in relating to one 
another in love." To show the more excellent way, Paul preached love because 
"love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where 
there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, 
it will pass away" (13:8).

Paul's loving reminders can certainly encourage a wedding party. 
May they also inspire all of us to live out love and kindness too.

Reflect & Pray

How do you show kindness and love in your relationships?

Your love never fails, loving God, so please guide
me in relating to all with the excellence of love.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 6 - It is Finished

John 5:24

24 (Jn 3:18; 1Jn 3:14; Jn 3:36) "Truly, truly I say to you, whoever hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life
and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "

[24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth
on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

"PLEASE BE PATIENT - GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET,"
the sweatshirt read. In this case, the message was an ironic one,
for the occupant of the shirt was a snaggle-toothed, freckle-faced six year
old!
In one sense, God is not finished with the work he has to do in each of us.
Life in Christ is an ongoing process of change and growth as we become
more like him. Certainly, the more we see of ourselves, the more we hope
he isn't finished with us!
Yet whatever plans God has for making us into the men and women he created
us to be, certain aspects of our life in Christ are finished, finalised.
Jesus declares with absolute assurance, "whoever hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life
and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "
Because we do not have to earn or deserve God's grace, because we are not
called to prove ourselves worthy of Salvation, we can have immediate
and total assurance of the security of life in Jesus Christ. The one who
put his trust in the Lord has eternal life; he will not be condemned;
he has crossed over from death to life.
This "crossing over" into life happens in the split second when we acknowledge
our dependence upon Christ alone. And the rest of our lives is given over to
the development of his image in us.
God is not finished with us yet.
But his work of salvation is finished - complete,
fully dependable an accomplished fact.

Application

a) Have I ever doubted the "accomplished fact" of my own salvation? Why?

b) How can today's verse help me realise that, although I may have a lot of
growing yet to do, my salvation in Jesus Christ is secure?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Deut 29:9

9 (Dt 4:6; Jos 1:7)Therefore, keep the words of this covenant
and do them, so that you may prosper in all you do.

9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,
that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

When you are ill or injured

Psalm 103:1-5

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits,
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,
who heals all your diseases,
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)

Alberta 

Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta

Alberta 2015 population  4121700

est Muslim Population       195240

CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton

It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor.  It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries 
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still 
continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.

Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
  in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their 
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
  in these growing Muslim population centres.

Adding further

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020 

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid  celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that 
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you 
know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 :  17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; 
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants 
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. 
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below: 
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.  20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes
	Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15  : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under 
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the 
house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people - 
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims 
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days! 

My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

8 ) Fast and Pray   
   
day nineteen:

may they find peace

As we watch our loved ones navigate life, we often feel a deep concern for
their struggles with hopelessness, anxiety, regret, and discontent. It's 
heart-wrenching to see them entangled in fears and unable to grasp the hope 
that lies in Jesus.


Just as we have found peace in Christ, they too can discover the profound
peace that comes from surrendering their worries to Him. Let our hearts cry
out with Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour 
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ".

VERSE OF THE DAY:

John 14:27

27 (Jn 16:33; Php 4:7; Col 3:15) Peace I leave with you.
My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

[27] Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid. 

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION:

John 16:33, 

33 (Jn 14:27; 1Jn 4:4; Jn 14:1) "I have told you these things so that in Me
you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But be of good
cheer. I have overcome the world."

[33] These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In
the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world. 

Psalm 29:11, 

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) The Lord will give strength to His people;
the Lord will bless His people with peace.

[11] The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his
people with peace. 

Isaiah 26:3, 

3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on You,
because he trusts in You. 

[3] Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee. 

Philippians 4:7

7 (Jn 14:27; Col 3:15; Isa 26:3) And the peace of God, which surpasses all
understanding, will protect your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

[7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

prayer:

Lord, I pray that my loved ones, including the prodigals, will return to You,
recognising that true peace can only be found in You. Break off all negative
thinking and help them embrace Your peace, joy, and love. Transform their
thought patterns, guiding them to recognise, reject, and replace thoughts
that are not pleasing to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

REFLECTION:

How do I show God's peace in my own life? What can I do to help them find
the peace that only God can provide?

Conclusion:

Pray to the Lord and pray to consecrate yourself to Him and act honourably.

Pray to the Lord: "Your love never fails, loving God, so please guide
me in relating to all with the excellence of love."
