Leviticus 3

1 “If one’s offering is a peace offering and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he must present it without blemish before the LORD.

And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offerings, and he will offer of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer them without blemish before the Lord.

2 He is to lay his hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his victim, which shall be slain in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the sons of Aaron the priests shall pour the blood round about upon the altar.

3 From the peace offering he is to bring an offering made by fire to the LORD: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

And they shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings, for an oblation to the Lord, the fat that covereth the entrails, and all the fat that is within.

4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.

The two kidneys with the fat wherewith the flanks are covered, and the caul of the liver with the two little kidneys.

5 Then Aaron’s sons are to burn it on the altar atop the burnt offering that is on the burning wood, as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

And they shall burn them upon the altar, for a holocaust, putting fire under the wood: for an oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord.

6 If, however, one’s peace offering to the LORD is from the flock, he must present a male or female without blemish.

But if his oblation and the sacrifice of peace offering be of the flock, whether he offer male or female, they shall be without blemish.

7 If he is presenting a lamb for his offering, he must present it before the LORD.

If he offer a lamb before the Lord,

8 He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

He shall put his hand upon the head of his victim: and it shall be slain in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony: and the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof round about upon the altar.

9 And from the peace offering he shall bring an offering made by fire to the LORD consisting of its fat: the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

And they shall offer of the victim of peace offerings a sacrifice to the Lord: the fat and the whole rump,

10 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.

With the kidneys, and the fat that covereth the belly and all the vitals and both the little kidneys, with the fat that is about the flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys.

11 Then the priest is to burn them on the altar as food, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, for the food of the fire, and of the oblation of the Lord.

12 If one’s offering is a goat, he is to present it before the LORD.

If his offering be a goat, and he offer it to the Lord,

13 He must lay his hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

He shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and shall immolate it in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony. And the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof round about upon the altar.

14 And from his offering he shall present an offering made by fire to the LORD: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

And they shall take of it for the food of the Lord’s fire, the fat that covereth the belly, and that covereth all the vital parts:

15 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.

The two little kidneys with the caul that is upon them which is by the flanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys:

16 Then the priest is to burn the food on the altar as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma. All the fat is the LORD’s.

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, for the food of the fire, and of a most sweet savour. All the fat shall be the Lord’s.

17 This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.”

By a perpetual law for your generations, and in all your habitations: neither blood nor fat shall you eat at all.
