Leviticus 7:1-10

Supplementary Regulations for guilt offerings and priestly dues. Leviticus 7:1 supplements Leviticus 5:16 b. The blood of the victim is to be dashed (not sprinkled) round the altar. The fat, as in other offerings, is to be carefully removed and offered to Yahweh. The priests-' dues are the same with the guilt offering as with the sin offering. (Every guilt offering is also a sin offering, though the reverse, of course, is not the case.) The notice about priests-' dues is fragmentary (see Leviticus 7:28). The priests are to have the hide of the victim; in the sacrificial tariffs of Marseilles and Sippar the hide goes to the priests; at Carthage, to the offerer. Baked, tried, and griddled meal offerings (cf. Leviticus 2:4) go to the officiating priest, meal offerings with or without oil to the priests as a whole; presumably a larger offering is here referred to.
