Leviticus 7:3-17 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

3. All its fat shall be removed and offered on the altar: the fat tail, the fat covering the internal organs,

4. the kidneys and the fat on them, and the best part of the liver.

5. The priest shall burn all the fat on the altar as a food offering to the Lord. It is a repayment offering.

6. Any male of the priestly families may eat it, but it must be eaten in a holy place, because it is very holy.

7. There is one regulation that applies to both the sin offering and the repayment offering: the meat belongs to the priest who offers the sacrifice.

8. The skin of an animal offered as a burnt offering belongs to the priest who offers the sacrifice.

9. Every grain offering that has been baked in an oven or prepared in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who has offered it to God.

10. But all uncooked grain offerings, whether mixed with oil or dry, belong to all the Aaronite priests and must be shared equally among them.

11. The following are the regulations for the fellowship offerings presented to the Lord.

12. If a man makes this offering as a thankoffering to God, he shall present, together with the animal to be sacrificed, an offering of bread made without yeast: either thick loaves made of flour mixed with olive oil or biscuits brushed with olive oil or cakes made of flour mixed with olive oil.

13. In addition, he shall offer loaves of bread baked with yeast.

14. He shall present one part of each kind of bread as a special contribution to the Lord; it belongs to the priest who takes the blood of the animal and throws it against the altar.

15. The flesh of the animal must be eaten on the day it is sacrificed; none of it may be left until the next morning.

16. If a man brings a fellowship offering in fulfilment of a vow or as his own freewill offering, not all of it has to be eaten on the day it is offered, but any that is left over may be eaten on the following day.

17. Any meat that still remains on the third day must be burnt.
