Leviticus 7:1-6

Listen to Leviticus 7:1-6
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.
