Leviticus 7:1-7

1 And this is the law of sacrifice for trespass; it is holy of holy things. (And this is the law for the trespass offering; it is a most holy, or sacred, thing.)

2 Therefore where burnt sacrifice is offered, also the sacrifice for trespass shall be slain; the blood thereof shall be shed by compass of the altar. (The trespass offering shall be killed in the same place, where the burnt sacrifice is killed; and its blood shall be thrown against all the sides of the altar.)

3 They shall offer the tail thereof, and the fatness that covereth the entrails,

4 the two little reins, and the fatness which is beside the ileum, and the caul of the maw, with the little reins.

5 And the priest shall burn those on the altar; it is incense of the Lord, for trespass (it is incense for the Lord, it is a trespass offering).

6 Each male of the priests? kin shall eat these fleshes in the holy place, for it is holy of holy things. (Any male of the priests? kin can eat this flesh, but only in a holy place, for it is a most holy, or sacred, thing.)

7 As a sacrifice is offered for sin, so and for trespass, one law shall be of ever either sacrifice; it shall pertain to the priest, that offereth it. (As for the sin offering, so for the trespass offering, yea, one law shall be for both offerings; and it shall belong to the priest who offereth it.)
