See Lev 5:14 note. In Lev 7:2 “sprinkle” should rather be cast Lev 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.
This site's exposition
this is the law of the trespass offering
on Leviticus 7:1-7
Chapters 4 and 5 kept the sin offering and the trespass offering apart, and verse 7 puts them under one law. The blood is sprinkled round about the altar, the fat is burnt, and every male among the priests eats the rest inside the holy place, so the offering brought for a wrong done to a neighbour is handled as most holy. The Hebrew name of this offering is asham, and Isaiah 53:10 uses that word of the Servant when it says thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin.

The Reformation1 voice
The sum amounts to this, that they were to sacrifice in the same manner, and with the same rites for sin as for trespass, and make not the smallest alteration in the rule laid down for them. __________________________________________________________________
