« | Leviticus 7 | » |
1 Likewyse this is the lawe of the trespasse offering: it is moste holy.
2 In the place where they kyll the burnt offering, shall they kyll the trespasse offering also, & the blood thereof shall he sprinckle rounde about vpon the aulter.
3 All the fat thereof shall he offer, the rumpe, and the fat that couereth the inwardes,
4 And the two kydneys, and the fat that is on them, and vpon the flankes, and the kall that is on the liuer shalt thou take away with the kydneys.
5 And the priest shall burne them vpon the aulter, to be a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lorde: for it is a trespasse offering.
6 All the males among the priestes shall eate thereof: it shalbe eaten in the holy place, for it is most holy.
7 As the sinne offering is, so is the trespasse offering, one law serueth for both: that wherwith the priest shall make attonement, shalbe his.
8 And the priest that offereth any mans burnt offering, shall haue the skynne of ye burnt offering whiche he hath offred.
9 And all the meate offering that is baken in the ouen, and that is dressed in the panne, and in the frying panne, shalbe the priestes that offereth it.
10 And euery meate offering that is mingled with oyle, and that is drye, shall pertayne vnto all the sonnes of Aaron, and one shall haue as muche as another.
11 This is the law of the peace offering, whiche he shall offer vnto the Lorde.
12 If he offer it to geue thankes, he shall bryng vnto his thanke offering vnleauened cakes mingled with oyle, and vnleauened wafers annoynted with oyle, and cakes mingled with oyle of fine floure fryed.
13 He shall bryng his offering, with cakes of vnleauend bread for his peace offeringes, to geue thankes:
14 And of all the sacrifice he shall offer one for an heaue offering vnto the Lorde, and it shalbe the priestes that sprinckled the blood of the peace offeringes.
15 And the fleshe of his peace offeringes for thankes geuing, shalbe eate the same day that it is offred: And let hym leaue nothyng of it vntill the morowe.
16 But if the offering of his sacrifice be a vowe, or of his owne free wyll, it shalbe eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and if ought remayne vntill the morowe, it may be eaten.
17 But as muche of the offered fleshe as remayneth vnto the thirde day, shalbe burnt with fire.
18 And if any of the flesh of his peace offeringes be eaten in the thirde day, then shall he that offereth it obtayne no fauour, neither shall it be reckened vnto him, but shalbe an abhomination: therfore the soule that eateth of it, shal beare his sinne.
19 And the fleshe that toucheth any vncleane thing, shal not be eaten, but burnt with fire: and of this fleshe all that be cleane, shall eate therof.
20 But if any soule eate of the fleshe of the peace offering that pertayneth vnto the Lord, hauing his vnclennesse vpon him: the same soule shall be cut of from among his people.
21 Moreouer, the soule that doth touche any vncleane thyng, that is of the vncleannesse of man, or of any vncleane beast, or any abhomination that is vncleane, and then eate of the fleshe of the peace offering whiche pertayneth vnto the Lorde: that soule shal be cut of from his people.
22 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
23 Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and say: Ye shall eate no maner fat of beeues, of sheepe, and of goates.
24 Neuerthelater, the fat of the beast that dyeth alone, and the fat of that which is torne with wilde beastes, shalbe occupied in any maner of vse: but ye shall in no wyse eate of it.
25 For whosoeuer eateth the fat of the beast, of which men vse to bryng an offering made by fire vnto the Lorde: that soule that eateth it, shall be cut of from his people.
26 Moreouer, ye shall eate no maner of blood, whether it be of foule or of beast, in any your dwellynges.
27 Whatsoeuer soule it be that eateth any maner of blood, the same soule shall be cut of from his people.
28 And the Lorde talked with Moyses, saying:
29 Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and say: He that bringeth his peace offeryng vnto the Lorde, let hym bryng his gift vnto the Lord of his peace offering:
30 Let his owne handes bryng the offeringes of the Lorde made by fire: euen the fat with the brest shal he bryng, that the brest may be waued for a waue offering before the Lorde.
31 And the priest shall burne the fat vpon the aulter, and the brest shalbe Aarons and his sonnes.
32 And the ryght shoulder shall ye geue vnto the priest for an heaue offeryng of your peace offerynges.
33 The same that offereth the blood of the peace offeringes and the fat among the sonnes of Aaron, shall haue the right shoulder for his part:
34 For the waue brest and the heaue shoulder haue I taken of the chyldren of Israel, eue of their peace offeringes, and haue geuen them vnto Aaron the priest, & vnto his sonnes, by a statute for euer fro among the chyldren of Israel.
35 This is the annoynting of Aaron, and the annoynting of his sonnes cocerning the sacrifices of the Lorde made by fire, in the day when he offred them to be priestes vnto the Lorde.
36 And these be the [portions] whiche the Lorde commaunded to be geuen them in the day of their annoynting from among the chyldren of Israel, by a statute for euer in their generations.
37 This is the law of the burnt offering, and of the meate offering, and of the sacrifice for sinne and trespasse, for consecrations, and for the peace offering:
38 Whiche the Lord commaunded Moyses in the mount of Sinai, whe he commaunded the children of Israel to offer their sacrifices vnto the Lorde in the wyldernesse of Sinai.
The Bishop’s Bible (BB)
The Bishop’s Bible (BB) is a significant English translation of the Bible that was first published in 1568 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It was commissioned by the Church of England as a revision of the Great Bible and as a response to the Geneva Bible, which was popular among the Puritans but contained marginal notes that were considered politically and theologically contentious by the Anglican establishment. The primary goal of the Bishop’ s Bible was to create a translation that would be more acceptable to the ecclesiastical authorities and suitable for use in Anglican churches.
One of the distinguishing features of the Bishop’s Bible is its effort to maintain a high level of accuracy and scholarly integrity while also ensuring that the language used was dignified and appropriate for public reading. The translation was undertaken by a team of bishops and other scholars, hence its name. The translators aimed to preserve the poetic and literary qualities of the original texts, drawing on previous translations such as the Tyndale Bible, the Coverdale Bible, and the Great Bible, while also incorporating their scholarly insights and linguistic refinements.
The Bishop’s Bible was notable for its large, folio format, which was designed to be read from the pulpit. It included extensive marginal notes, though these were more restrained and less controversial than those found in the Geneva Bible. The translation also featured elaborate illustrations and maps, as well as a comprehensive introduction and various prefaces that provided context and guidance for readers. Despite its grandeur and scholarly merit, the Bishop’s Bible did not achieve the widespread popularity of the Geneva Bible among the general populace.
Although the Bishop’s Bible played an essential role in the religious and cultural life of Elizabethan England, it was eventually overshadowed by the King James Version (KJV), which was commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611. The KJV drew heavily on the Bishop’ s Bible, as well as other earlier translations, but ultimately surpassed it in both scholarly rigor and literary quality. Nonetheless, the Bishop’s Bible remains an important milestone in the history of English Bible translations, reflecting the theological and political currents of its time and contributing to the development of subsequent translations.
