Leviticus 7:1-7

1 This is the lawe of the trespaceofferynge which is most holy.

2 In the place where the burntoffrynge is kylled, the trespaceoffrynge shalbe kylled also: ad his bloude shalbe sprikled rounde aboute apon the alter.

3 And all the fatt thereof shalbe offered: the rompe and the fatt that couered the inwardes,

4 and the .ij. kydneyes with the fatt that lyeth on them and apon the loynes: and the kall on the lyuer shalbe taken awaye with the kydneyes,

5 And the preast shall burne them apon the altare, to be an offerynge vnto the Lorde: this is a trespaceofferynge.

6 All the males amonge the preastes shal eate thereof in the holy place, for it is most holy.

7 As the synneofferynge is, so is the trespaceofferynge, one lawe serueth for both: and it shall be the preastes that reconcyleth therewith.
