Leviticus 7:1-6

1 This is the Instruction for the compensation offering: It is most holy.

2 The compensation offering must be slaughtered at the same place where the entirely burned offering is slaughtered, and its blood must be tossed against all sides of the altar.

3 All of its fat will be offered: the fat tail; the fat that covers the insides;

4 the two kidneys and the fat around them at the loins; and the lobe on the liver, which must be removed with the kidneys.

5 The priest must burn them completely on the altar as a food gift for the LORD; it is a compensation offering.

6 Any male priest can eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
