Leviticus 7:6-7 sits inside this longer paragraph.
“ ‘This is the law of the trespass offering: It is most holy. In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle around on the altar. He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards, and he shall take away the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys; and the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to Yahweh: it is a trespass offering. Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.
“ ‘As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering; there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with them shall have it. The priest who offers any man’s burnt offering shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered. Every meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is prepared in the pan and on the griddle, shall be the priest’s who offers it. Every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.

Lev 7:7-8. As is the sin-offering, so is the trespass-offering — In the matter following, for in other things they differed. The priests shall have it — That part of it which was by God allowed to the priest. The priest shall have to himself the skin — The note of Bishop Patrick is worth transcribing here: “All the flesh of the burnt-offerings being wholly consumed, as well as the fat upon the altar, there was nothing that could fall to the share of the priest but the skin, which is here given him for his pains. It was observed upon Gen 3:21, that it is probable Adam himself offered the first sacrifice, and had the skin given him by God, to make the garments for him and his wife. In conformity to which the priests ever after had the skin of the whole burnt-offerings for their portion; which was a custom among the Gentiles, (as well as the Jews,) who gave the skins of their sacrifices to their priests, when they were not burned with the sacrifices, as in some sin-offerings they were among the Jews, see Lev 4:11; and they employed them to a superstitious use, by lying upon them in their temples, in hopes to have future things revealed to them in their dreams. Of this we have a proof in Virgil’s seventh Æneid, line 86. See Dryden’s translation, 7:127.”

7. there is one law for them] It is doubtful whether these words, and those immediately preceding them, can be taken as enjoining the sìmîkah or laying on of hands (see on Lev_1:4). But according to tradition, that ceremony was applied in the case of Guilt-Offerings, and this passage was quoted in support of the practice.
the priest … shall have it] Cp. 2Ki_12:16, where both Guilt-and Sin-Offerings are assigned to the priest. At the close of the injunctions concerning the ‘most holy’ sacrifices, a short summary (Lev_7:8-10) of the priests’ dues from such sacrifices is given. Most of them have been mentioned before; the priests’ due from the Guilt-Offering is settled in Lev_7:7; their dues from the Burnt-Offering and Meal-Offering are assigned in Lev_7:8-10.

Vers. 7-10 contain a general precept or note as to the priests" portion in the sin offering, trespass offering, burnt offering, and meat offering. The officiating priest was to have the flesh of the trespass offering and of the sin offering (except the fat burnt on the altar), and the skin of the burnt offering and the cooked meat offerings (except the memorial burnt on the altar), while the meat offerings of flour and of parched grains, which could be kept longer, were to be the property of the priestly body in general, all the sons of Aaron,... one as much as another. The skins of the peace offerings were retained by the offerer ("Mishna, Sebaeh," 12, 3).
