Context of Leviticus 7:6

4He will bring the kidneys and the best piece of the liver. 5Then he will burn the pieces on the altar. They are a gift to the Lord to make a person clean from sin. Aaron'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. 8The skin of the animal is for the priest.
