Additional Laws for Guilt Offerings
7 “‘And this is the regulation of the guilt offering; it is a most holy thing.[a] 2 In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering,[b] they must slaughter the guilt offering,[c] and he[d] must sprinkle its blood upon the altar all around. 3 And he must present all of its fat:[e] the fat tail and the fat that covers the inner parts,[f] 4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys. 5 And the priest shall turn it into smoke it on the altar as a food offering made by fire for Yahweh; it is a guilt offering. 6 Every male among the priests may eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place; it is a most holy thing.[g] 7 The instruction is the same for the guilt offering as for the sin offering;[h] it belongs to[i] the priest, who makes atonement with it.

The Guilt Offering
7 “Now this is the law of the guilt[a] offering;(A) it is especially holy. 2 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. 3 The offerer is to present all the fat from it: the fat tail,(C) the fat surrounding the entrails,[b] 4 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. 5 The priest will burn them on the altar as a food offering(E) to the Lord; it is a guilt offering. 6 Any male among the priests may eat it.(F) It is to be eaten in a holy place;(G) it is especially holy.(H)
7 “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.
