The Law of the Trespass Offering

1 ‘Likewise athis is the law of the trespass offering (it is most holy):  
2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the trespass offering. And its blood he shall sprinkle all around on the altar.
3 And he shall offer from it all its fat. The fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails,
4 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove;
5 and the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a trespass offering.
6 aEvery male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. bIt is most holy.  
7 aThe trespass offering is like the sin offering; there is one law for them both: the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.  
8 And the priest who offers anyone’s burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.
9 Also aevery grain offering that is baked in the oven and all that is prepared in the covered pan, or1 in a pan, shall be the priest’s who offers it.

Leviticus 7:1

THE LAW OF THE TRESPASS OFFERING. (Lev. 7:1-27)

Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering—This chapter is a continuation of the laws that were to regulate the duty of the priests respecting the trespass offerings. The same regulations obtained in this case as in the burnt offerings—part was to be consumed on the altar, while the other part was a perquisite of the priests—some fell exclusively to the officiating minister, and was the fee for his services; others were the common share of all the priestly order, who lived upon them as their provision, and whose meetings at a common table would tend to promote brotherly harmony and friendship.
