Leviticus 7:1-11

1 Likewise this shall be the law of the expiation of guilt; it shall be most holy.
2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the expiation of guilt, and he shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar.
3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof, the tail and the fat that covers the intestines
4 and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them and that which is on the flanks and with the kidneys he shall take away the caul that is above the liver.
5 And the priest shall incense them upon the altar for an offering on fire unto the LORD; and this shall be the expiation of guilt.
6 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof; it shall be eaten in the holy place for it is most holy.
7 As with the sin, so shall it be with the guilt; they shall have the same law; the priest that has made the reconciliation shall have that which was offered.
8 And the priest that offers anyone’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.
9 Likewise every present that is baked in the oven and all that is dressed in the fryingpan or in the pot shall be the priest’s that offers it.
10 And every present mingled with oil and dry shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
11 And this shall be the law of the sacrifice of peace, which shall be offered unto the LORD.
