Additional Laws for Guilt Offerings

1 " 'And this [is] the regulation of the guilt offering; it [is] {a most holy thing}.
2 In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering, they must slaughter the guilt offering, and he must sprinkle its blood upon the altar all around.
3 And he must present all of its fat: the fat tail and the fat that covers the inner parts,
4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which [is] on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys.
5 And the priest shall turn it into smoke it on the altar [as] a food offering made by fire for Yahweh; it [is] a guilt offering.
6 Every male among the priests may eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place; it [is] {a most holy thing}.
7 [The] instruction [is] {the same for the guilt offering as for the sin offering}; {it belongs to} the priest, who makes atonement with it.
