Polyglot Bible: Leviticus: Leviticus 7

This is a liturgical-legal religious text from the Hebrew Bible, specifically Leviticus chapter 7, presented in a parallel Bible format showing multiple ancient versions side by side: the King James Version (English, with Strong's concordance numbers), the Septuagint (ancient Greek translation), and what appears to be a Tanakh or Hebrew source text. The passage belongs to the Priestly legal tradition and functions as a codification of sacrificial law, detailing procedural requirements for several types of offerings: the trespass (guilt) offering, burnt offering, grain offering, and peace offering. The text specifies which portions of each sacrifice belong to the priests as their ordained portion — including the skin of burnt offerings, the breast and right shoulder of peace offerings, and various grain offerings — and establishes these allocations as permanent statutes. A distinctive concern throughout is ritual pollution: flesh left until the third day becomes an "abomination," meat touching anything unclean must be burned, and any Israelite who eats fat or blood from sacrificial animals is to be "cut off from their people." The closing verses frame the entire chapter as a summary of the laws given to Moses at Mount Sinai, presenting the priestly system as divinely mandated in its totality.
