Leviticus 7:6

4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.

5 The priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.

Every male among the priests may eat of it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the same law applies to both. It belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it.

8 As for the priest who presents a burnt offering for anyone, the hide of that offering belongs to him.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
