Leviticus 7:1-11

1 [The LORD continued,] "These are the instructions for the guilt offering. It is very holy.
2 It must be slaughtered in the same place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. [A priest] will throw the blood against the altar on all sides.
3 He will offer all the fat, the fat from the tail, the fat covering the internal organs,
4 and the two kidneys with the fat on them. He will also remove the lobe of the liver along with the kidneys.
5 The priest will burn them on the altar. It is a guilt offering by fire to the LORD.
6 Any male among the priests may eat it. It will be eaten in a holy place. It is very holy.
7 "The same instructions apply to the offering for sin and the guilt offering. Both offerings belong to the priest to make peace with the LORD.
8 The skin of the burnt offering belongs to the priest who sacrifices it.
9 Every grain offering, whether baked in an oven or prepared in a skillet or a frying pan, belongs to the priest who offers it.
10 Every grain offering, whether mixed with olive oil or dry, will be shared equally by all of Aaron's sons.
11 "These are the instructions for the fellowship offering that you must bring to the LORD.
