Leviticus 7:1-6

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

2 at the spot where the burnt offering is slaughtered, they shall slaughter the guilt offering, and its blood shall be dashed against all sides of the altar.

3 All its fat shall be offered: the broad 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 shall be removed with the kidneys.

5 The priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the Lord; it is a guilt offering.

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