Leviticus 7
38 verses
Chapter seven completes the priestly regulations for the guilt offering, burn offering, grain offering, and fellowship offering. The guilt offering and sin offering share the same most holy status and the same requirement for eating within the sanctuary area by the officiating male priests. Priestly compensation is systematically established: the officiating priest keeps the hide of the burnt offering; cooked grain offerings belong to the officiating priest; uncooked grain offerings are shared equally among all the sons of Aaron. The fellowship offering section addresses the three sub-types — thank offering (eaten same day), vow offering, and freewill offering (both may be eaten over two days) — with strict rules against eating on the third day (piggul) or while ritually impure, both carrying the cut-off penalty. The chapter closes with the declaration that God took the wave breast and presented thigh from the fellowship offering and gave them to the priests as their perpetual share — the priestly provision is God's redistribution, not human charity.
