Leviticus 7:1-9

1 "This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy;

2 in the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the guilt offering, and its blood shall be thrown on the altar round about.

3 And all its fat shall be offered, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails,

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

5 the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.

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

7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering, there is one law for them; the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.

8 And the priest who offers any man's burnt offering shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.

9 And every cereal offering baked in the oven and all that is prepared on a pan or a griddle shall belong to the priest who offers it.
