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.

‘Now this is the law of the (A)guilt offering; it is most holy.

Then he shall offer from it all its fat: the (C)fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins; and he shall remove the lobe on the liver (D)with the kidneys. The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the Lord; it is a guilt offering. (E)Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy. The guilt offering is like the (F)sin offering: there is one law for them. The (G)priest who makes atonement with it [a]shall have it.
