The Guilt Offering

“Now this is the law of the guilt[a] offering;(A) it is especially holy. The guilt offering is to be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offering(B) is slaughtered, and the priest is to splatter its blood on all sides of the altar. The offerer is to present all the fat from it: the fat tail,(C) the fat surrounding the entrails,[b] and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver(D) with the kidneys. The priest will burn them on the altar as a food offering(E) to the Lord; it is a guilt offering. Any male among the priests may eat it.(F) It is to be eaten in a holy place;(G) it is especially holy.(H)

“The guilt offering is like the sin offering;(I) the law is the same for both. It belongs to the priest(J) who makes atonement(K) with it.

Guilt Offerings

“This is the regulation concerning guilt offerings. They are most holy. The guilt offering is to be offered in the same place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. The priest[a] is to sprinkle some of its blood on the altar and around it. As to all its fat—that is, the fat on the tail and the fat covering the internal organs—the one presenting the sacrifice[b] is to offer it. But the two kidneys, the fat over them by the loins, and the appendage on the liver are to be taken away, along with the kidneys. Then the priest is to offer them on the altar, incinerating them with fire as a guilt offering to the Lord. Any male among the priests may eat it, provided that it is eaten at a sacred place as a most holy thing. The law for the sin offering is the same as the guilt offering. It belongs to the priest who made atonement with it.

The Guilt Offering

“‘These are the regulations for the guilt offering,(A) which is most holy: The guilt offering is to be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and its blood is to be splashed against the sides of the altar. All its fat(B) shall be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the internal organs, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.(C) The priest shall burn them on the altar(D) as a food offering presented to the Lord. It is a guilt offering. Any male in a priest’s family may eat it,(E) but it must be eaten in the sanctuary area; it is most holy.(F)

“‘The same law applies to both the sin offering[a](G) and the guilt offering:(H) They belong to the priest(I) who makes atonement with them.(J)
