Leviticus 7:1-7

1 "'This is the law of the trespass offering. It is most holy.

2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle on the altar round about.

3 He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards,

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

5 and the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to Yahweh: it is a trespass offering.

6 Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

7 "'As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering; there is one law for them. Ihe priest who makes atonement with them, he shall have it.
