Lev 7:6 | MHM | STEP | v. 6-7 : The trespass-offering was to be handled like the sin-offering. After the blood and fat were offered to God, the priests would eat the rest of the meat in the holy place ( v. 6 ). The priest who actually performed the sacrifice received the right to the meat ( v. 7 ). He could also invite other male priests to share it with him. This encouraged the priests to serve faithfully, since their reward depended on their work. The person who brought the offering did not eat any of it, because the trespass-offering was given because of sin and called for seriousness and repentance, not celebration.
