Leviticus 7:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:7

As the sin [offering is], so [is] the trespass [offering,
there is] one law for them
The same as in ( Leviticus 6:27 Leviticus 6:28 ) :

the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it;
who by offering it made atonement for the trespass of the person that brings it, as typical of the atonement by the sacrifice of Christ; he was to have all but what was burnt, for himself and his sons; though no doubt but other priests then on duty in the court ate with him.

Leviticus 7:7 In-Context

5 The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.
6 Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.
7 The guilt offering is just like the sin offering; there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.
8 And the priest who offers any man's burnt offering shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering that he has offered.
9 And every grain offering baked in the oven and all that is prepared on a pan or a griddle shall belong to the priest who offers it.
