Leviticus 7:1-10

More Rules for Guilt Offerings

1 " 'Here are some more rules for guilt offerings. The guilt offering is very holy.

2 You must kill the animal for the guilt offering in the same place where you kill the animal for the burnt offering. Sprinkle its blood against every side of the altar.

3 " 'Offer all of its fat. It must include the fat tail and the fat that covers the inside parts.

4 It must include both kidneys with the fat on them next to the lower back muscles. It must also include the covering of the liver. Remove all of it together with the kidneys.

5 The priest must burn all of it on the altar. It is an offering that is made to the LORD with fire. It is a guilt offering.

6 " 'Any male in a priest's family can eat it. But he must eat it in a holy place. It is very holy.

7 " 'The same law applies to the sin offering and the guilt offering. Both of them belong to the priest who offers them to pay for sin.

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

9 " 'Every grain offering that is baked in an oven belongs to the priest who offers it. So does every grain offering that is cooked in a pan or grilled on a metal plate.

10 Every grain offering belongs equally to all of the priests who are in Aaron's family line. That is true whether it is mixed with olive oil or it is dry.
