Leviticus 7:1-10

1“ ‘These are the regulations for the guilt offering, which is most holy:

2The guilt offering is to be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and its blood is to be splashed against the sides of the altar.

3All its fat shall be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the internal organs,

4both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.

5The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering presented to the Lord. It is a guilt offering.

6Any male in a priest’s family may eat it, but it must be eaten in the sanctuary area; it is most holy.

7“ ‘The same law applies to both the sin offering and the guilt offering: They belong to the priest who makes atonement with them.

8The priest who offers a burnt offering for anyone may keep its hide for himself.

9Every grain offering baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who offers it,

10and every grain offering, whether mixed with olive oil or dry, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.
