Leviticus 7:1-7

New International Reader's Version

More Rules for Guilt Offerings

7 “ ‘Here are some more rules for guilt offerings. The guilt offering is very holy. ² You must kill the animal for the guilt offering where you kill the animal for the burnt offering. Splash its blood against the sides of the altar. ³ Offer all its fat. It must include the fat tail and the fat that covers the inside parts. ⁴ It must include both kidneys with the fat on them next to the lower back muscles. It must also include the long part of the liver. Remove all of it together with the kidneys. ⁵ The priest must burn all of it on the altar. It is a food offering presented to the Lord. It is a guilt offering. ⁶ Any male in a priest’s family can eat it. But he must eat it in the holy area. It is very holy.

⁷ “ ‘The same law applies to the sin offering and the guilt offering. Both of them belong to the priest who offers them to pay for sin.
