71 'Now this is the law of the guilt offering ; it is most holy . 2 'In the place where they slay the burnt offering they are to slay the guilt offering , and he shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar . 3 'Then he shall offer from it all its fat : the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails , 4 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins , and the lobe on the liver he shall remove with the kidneys . 5 'The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the Lord ; it is a guilt offering . 6 ' Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place ; it is most holy . 7 'The guilt offering is like the sin offering , there is one law for them; the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it. 8 'Also the priest who presents any man's burnt offering , that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has presented . 9 'Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in the oven and everything prepared in a pan or on a griddle shall belong to the priest who presents it. 10 'Every grain offering , mixed with oil or dry , shall belong to all the sons of Aaron , to all alike .

(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.
