The priest burns them on the Altar as a gift to God . It is a Compensation-Offering. Any male from among the priests' families may eat it. But it must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

Contextual Overview

¹ And this is the law of the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy. ² They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar. ³ And all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to be given as an offering. ⁴ And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away: ⁵ They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing. ⁶ Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy. ⁷ As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it. ⁸ And the priest offering any man's burned offering for him, may have the skin of the burned offering which is offered by him. ⁹ And every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered. ¹⁰ And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Likewise this [is] the law of the trespass [offering],.... Or the various rites and rules to be observed at the offering of it: the persons for whom it was to be made are described in the two preceding chapters, Leviticus 5:1 both such that sinned through ignorance, and knowingly, and here the place and parts of the offering, and how to be disposed of, are declared:

it [is] most holy; wholly devoted for sacred use, either to the Lord, or to his priests; there were some things the Jews call light holy things, and others most holy in the highest degree, of this sort was the trespass offering.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See Leviticus 5:14 note. In Leviticus 7:2 “sprinkle” should rather be cast Leviticus 1:5. All the details regarding the parts put on the altar are repeated for each kind of sacrifice, because the matter was one of paramount importance.
