The guilt offering

7 “These are the regulations concerning the offerings to be made by people who are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. Those are very sacred offerings. 2 Each animal that is to be offered by such people must be slaughtered in the same place where the animals that will be completely burned on the altar are slaughtered, and their blood must be sprinkled against all sides of the altar. 3 All their fat, the fat tails that are cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animals or which is attached to them, must be burned on the altar. 4 That includes the kidneys with their fat near the lower back muscle, and the protruding lobe that is attached to the liver. 5 The priest must burn them on the altar to be offerings to me, Yahweh. They are an offering for the people to be forgiven for not doing what they were required to do. 6 All the males in the priest’s family are permitted to eat its meat, but it must be eaten in a sacred place, because it is very sacred.

7 “The regulation is the same for the offerings to enable people to be forgiven for the sins they have committed and the offerings for when they are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. The meat of those offerings belongs to the priest who offers them in order that the people will be forgiven. 8 The priest who slaughters an animal that will be completely burned on the altar is permitted to keep the animal’s hide for himself. 9 Offerings of things made from grain that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or ◄in a shallow pan/on a griddle► belong to the priest who makes those offerings for another person. 10 And offerings of things made from grain, whether they were mixed with olive oil or not, also belong to the sons of Aaron.”
