Charles Ellicott Commentary Leviticus 7:8

"And the priest that offereth any man`s burnt-offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt-offering which he hath offered." — Leviticus 7:8 (ASV)

The priest shall have to himself the skin. —As the skin was the only part not consumed by the fire, in the case of the burnt offering, it belonged to the officiating priest. According to the rule that was in effect during the Second Temple, all the skins of the most holy things belonged to the officiating priests—that is, those of the trespass offering, the sin offerings of the laity, etc., whereas those of the holy things—that is, those of the peace offerings—belonged to the owners of the sacrificed animals. These skins, which accumulated during the week, the priests whose turn it was to serve divided among themselves every Sabbath evening.
