Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
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 preliminary regulations obtained in this case as in the burnt offerings, (see the note at Leviticus 1:1-17.) The fatty parts were to be consumed on the altar, as in the sin and the peace offerings (see the note at Leviticus 3:9; Leviticus 4:8-10), while the flesh was a perquisite of the priests (Leviticus 6:26). Some portions fell exclusively to the officiating minister, and were the fees for his services (Leviticus 7:8); 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 (Leviticus 7:6: cf. Leviticus 6:29).
