Context of Leviticus 7:8

6Any male among the priests may eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy. 7The law is the same for the sin offering and the guilt offering; it belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it. “‘As for the priest who presents someone’s burnt offering, the hide of that burnt offering which he presented belongs to him. 9Every grain offering which is baked in the oven or made in the pan or on the griddle belongs to the priest who presented it. 10Every grain offering, whether mixed with olive oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, each one alike.
