The Priest’s Part in the Offerings

1 ‘Now this is the law of the (A)guilt offering; it is most holy. 2 In (B)the place where they slay the burnt offering they are to slay the guilt offering, and he shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 3 Then he shall offer from it all its fat: the (C)fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, 4 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the lobe on the liver he shall remove (D)with the kidneys. 5 The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the Lord; it is a guilt offering. 6 (E)Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy. 7 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. 8 Also the priest who presents any man’s burnt offering, (b)that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has presented. 9 Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in the oven and everything prepared in a (c)pan or on a (H)griddle (d)shall belong to the priest who presents it. 10 Every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall (e)belong to all the sons of Aaron, (f)to all alike.
