Leviticus 7:1-6

1 "`Likewise 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 round about upon the altar.

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

4 and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys; it shall he take away.

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

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