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 shall be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he shall offer it of the herd; whether a male or female, he shall offer it 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 offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood around 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 he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

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.

And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the fat above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.

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 Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a 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.

And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD shall be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

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

If he shall offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it 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.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood of it around 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 he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD; its fat, and the whole rump, that shall he take off close to the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

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.

And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the fat above the liver, with the kidneys, that shall he take away.

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 it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to the LORD.

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

And if his offering shall be a goat, then he shall offer it before 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.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood around 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 he shall offer of it his offering, even an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

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.

And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the fat above the liver, with the kidneys, that shall he take away.

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: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat is 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.”

It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
