Context of Leviticus 7:8

6Every male among the priests may eat it; it shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy. 7The guilt offering is like the sin offering, there is one law for [both of] them: the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it for himself. The priest who presents any man’s burnt offering shall have for himself the hide of the burnt offering which he has presented. 9Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in the oven and everything that is prepared in a pan or on a griddle shall belong to the priest who presents it. 10Every grain offering, mixed with [olive] oil or dry, all the sons of Aaron may have, one as well as another.
