71 And this is the law of the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy. 2 They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar. 3 And all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to be given as an offering. 4 And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away: 5 They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing. 6 Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy. 7 As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it. 8 And the priest offering any man's burned offering for him, may have the skin of the burned offering which is offered by him. 9 And every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered. 10 And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure.

11 And this is the law for the peace-offerings offered to the Lord. 12 If any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil. 13 With his peace-offering let him give cakes of leavened bread, as a praise-offering. 14 And let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord; that it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the altar. 15 And the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is offered; no part of it may be kept till the morning. 16 But if his offering is made because of an oath or given freely, it may be taken as food on the day when it is offered; and the rest may be used up on the day after: 17 But if any of the flesh of the offering is still unused on the third day, it is to be burned with fire. 18 And if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day, it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who gives it; it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food. 19 And flesh touched by any unclean thing may not be taken for food: it is to be burned with fire; and as for the flesh of the peace-offerings, everyone who is clean may take it as food: 20 But he who is unclean when he takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people. 21 And anyone who, after touching any unclean thing of man or an unclean beast or any unclean and disgusting thing, takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people. 22 And the Lord said to Moses, 23 Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food. 24 And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food. 25 For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people. 26 And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses. 27 Whoever takes any blood for food will be cut off from his people.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 7:1-27

Commentary on Leviticus 7:1-10

(Read Leviticus 7:1-10)

In the sin-offering and the trespass-offering, the sacrifice was divided between the altar and the priest; the offerer had no share, as he had in the peace-offerings. The former expressed repentance and sorrow for sin, therefore it was more proper to fast than feast; the peace-offerings denoted communion with a reconciled God in Christ, the joy and gratitude of a pardoned sinner, and the privileges of a true believer.

Commentary on Leviticus 7:11-27

(Read Leviticus 7:11-27)

As to the peace-offerings, in the expression of their sense of mercy, God left them more at liberty, than in the expression of their sense of sin; that their sacrifices, being free-will offerings, might be the more acceptable, while, by obliging them to bring the sacrifices of atonement, God shows the necessity of the great Propitiation. The main reason why blood was forbidden of old, was because the Lord had appointed blood for an atonement. This use, being figurative, had its end in Christ, who by his death and blood-shedding caused the sacrifices to cease. Therefore this law is not now in force on believers.
