Context of Leviticus 7:5

3The priest will bring all the fat from the tail and the inside parts to the altar. 4He will bring the kidneys and the best piece of the liver. Then he will burn the pieces on the altar. They are a gift to the Lord to make a person clean from sin. 6Aaron's sons can eat the meat that is not burnt. They must eat it in a holy place because it is most holy. 7The rules are the same for sacrifices for sin and for a person who is sorry for his sins. The gifts of meat are for the priest who brings them to the altar.
