Context of Leviticus 7:8

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. The skin of the animal is for the priest. 9People may give gifts of grain that they cooked in an oven or on a flat plate. They should give them all to the priest. 10Grain that is dry is also a gift. And grain that a man mixes with oil is also a gift. They should give them to Aaron's sons.
