Leviticus 7:8
6 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.
As for the priest who presents a burnt offering for anyone, the hide of that offering belongs to him.
9 Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it,
10 and every grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.
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.
