Leviticus 7:1-11

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.
10 And every cereal offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall be for all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.
11 "And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which one may offer to the LORD.
