The Restitution Offering

This is the law for the restitution offering.

It is most holy. The restitution offering shall be slaughtered in the same place where the whole burnt offering is slaughtered. The priest shall splash its blood against all sides of the altar. All the fat from it is to be presented: the fat tail, the fat that covers the inner organs, the two kidneys with the fat that is around them on the muscles and sinews, and the protruding lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys. Then the priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a restitution offering. Any male among the priests may eat it. It is to be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

The restitution offering is like the sin offering. The same law applies to both: It shall belong to the priest who makes atonement with it.
