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.

Further Instructions for the Guilt Offering
7 “These are the instructions for the guilt offering. It is most holy. 2 The animal sacrificed as a guilt offering must be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered, and its blood must be splattered against all sides of the altar. 3 The priest will then offer all its fat on the altar, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, 4 the two kidneys and the fat around them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver. These are to be removed with the kidneys, 5 and the priests will burn them on the altar as a special gift presented to the Lord. This is the guilt offering. 6 Any male from a priest’s family may eat the meat. It must be eaten in a sacred place, for it is most holy.
7 “The same instructions apply to both the guilt offering and the sin offering. Both belong to the priest who uses them to purify someone, making that person right with the Lord.[a]
