Leviticus 7:1-6

1 And this is the law of the trespass-offering: it is most holy.

2 In the place where they kill the burnt-offering shall they kill the trespass-offering; and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle upon the altar round about.

3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof: the fat tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards,

4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away;

5 and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto Jehovah: it is a trespass-offering.

6 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in a holy place: it is most holy.
