Leviticus 7:4-14

4 the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the long lobe of the liver that he shall remove ¹with the kidneys.

5 The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.

6 ²Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. ³It is most holy.

7 The ⁴guilt offering is just 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 that he has offered.

9 And ⁵every grain offering baked ⁶in the oven and all that is prepared ⁷on a pan or a griddle shall belong to the priest who offers it.

10 And every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall be shared equally among all the sons of Aaron.

11 "And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that one may offer to the LORD.

12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice ⁸unleavened loaves mixed with oil, unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and loaves of fine flour ⁹well mixed with oil.

13 ¹⁰With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving he shall bring his offering with loaves of leavened bread.

14 And from it he shall offer one loaf from each offering, as a ¹¹gift to the LORD. ¹²It shall belong to the priest who throws the blood of the peace offerings.
