The Fellowship Sacrifice

11 “Now this is the law of the fellowship sacrifice(A) that someone may present to the Lord: 12 If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice,(B) he is to present unleavened cakes(C) mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers(D) coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil. 13 He is to present as his offering cakes of leavened bread with his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship. 14 From the cakes he is to present one portion of each offering as a contribution(E) to the Lord. It will belong to the priest who splatters the blood of the fellowship offering; it is his. 15 The meat of his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship must be eaten on the day he offers it;(F) he may not leave any of it until morning.(G)

16 “If the sacrifice he offers is a vow(H) or a freewill offering,(I) it is to be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and what is left over may be eaten on the next day. 17 But what remains of the sacrificial meat by the third day must be burned.(J) 18 If any of the meat of his fellowship sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted.(K) It will not be credited to the one who presents it; it is repulsive.(L) The person who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.[a]

19 “Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned. Everyone who is clean may eat any other meat. 20 But the one who eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from his people.(M) 21 If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, abhorrent[b](N) creature, and eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice, that person is to be cut off from his people.”

“In peace,” he replied. “I’ve come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves(A) and come with me to the sacrifice.”[a] Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.

  1. 16:5 LXX reads and rejoice with me today

Serve in the holy place by the groupings of the ancestral families[a] for your brothers, the lay people,[b] and according to the division of the Levites by family.(A) Slaughter the Passover lambs,(B) consecrate yourselves,(C) and make preparations for your brothers to carry out the word of the Lord through Moses.”

Then Josiah donated thirty thousand sheep, lambs, and young goats, plus three thousand cattle from his own possessions, for the Passover sacrifices for all the lay people who were present.

His officials also donated willingly for the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, chief officials of God’s temple, gave twenty-six hundred Passover sacrifices and three hundred cattle for the priests. Conaniah(D) and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, officers of the Levites, donated five thousand Passover sacrifices for the Levites, plus five hundred cattle.

10 So the service was established; the priests stood at their posts and the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command.(E) 11 Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs, and while the Levites were skinning the animals,(F) the priests splattered the blood[c] they had been given.[d] 12 They removed the burnt offerings so that they might be given to the groupings of the ancestral families[e] of the lay people to offer to the Lord, according to what is written in the book of Moses; they did the same with the cattle. 13 They roasted the Passover lambs with fire according to regulation.(G) They boiled the holy sacrifices in pots, kettles, and bowls; and they quickly brought them to the lay people.
