Leviticus 7:1-8

1 Likewise this [is] the law of the trespass-offering: it [is] most holy.

2 In the place where they kill the burnt-offering shall they kill the trespass-offering: and the blood of it shall he sprinkle around upon the altar.

3 And he shall offer of it all its fat; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,

4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which [is] by the flanks, and the caul [that is] above the liver, with the kidneys, that shall he take away:

5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar [for] an offering made by fire to the LORD: it [is] a trespass-offering.

6 Every male among the priests shall eat of it: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it [is] most holy.

7 As the sin-offering [is], so [is] the trespass-offering: [there is] one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement with it shall have [it].

8 And the priest that offereth any man's burnt-offering, [even] the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt-offering which he hath offered.
