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,

4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the net above the liver which he shall take away as far as the kidneys;

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

5 and Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt-offering which [lieth] on the wood that is upon the fire: [it is] an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.

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.

10 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the net above the liver which he shall take away as far as the kidneys;

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

11 and the priest shall burn it on the altar: [it is] the food of the offering by fire to Jehovah.

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

12 And if his offering be a goat, then he shall present it before Jehovah.
