Leviticus 7:6

Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.

Cross-reference

In Leviticus 6:16-18, the grain offering is also eaten by priests in a holy place as most holy, matching 7:6.

In Leviticus 6:29, the sin offering has the same rule: every male priest may eat it as most holy.

Leviticus 6:17 equates the grain offering to the guilt offering as 'most holy', linking both to priestly food.
