Leviticus 3

1 “When you want to give a peace offering and you offer an animal from a herd of cattle, whether male or female, you must present one without any defects before the Lord.

And if his offering is given for a peace-offering; if he gives of the herd, male or female, let him give it without any mark on it, before the Lord.

2 Put your hand on the head of the offering and kill it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron's sons the priests will sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar.

And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death at the door of the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.

3 From the peace offering you are to bring a food offering to the Lord: all the fat that covers the insides,

And he is to give of the peace-offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts,

4 both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which you are to remove together with the kidneys.

And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away;

5 Aaron's sons are to burn this on the altar on top of the burnt offering that is on the burning wood, as a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.

That it may be burned by Aaron's sons on the altar, on the burned offering which is on the wood on the fire: it is an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.

6 When you want to give a peace offering and you offer an animal from a flock of sheep or goats, either male or female, you must present one without any defects before the Lord.

And if what he gives for a peace-offering to the Lord is of the flock, let him give a male or female, without any mark on it.

7 If you are giving a lamb as your offering, you must present it before the Lord.

If his offering is a lamb, then let it be placed before the Lord:

8 Put your hand on the head of the offering and kill it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron's sons the priests will sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar.

And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons are to put some of its blood on and round the altar.

9 From the peace offering you are to bring a food offering to the Lord made up of its fat: the whole fat tail removed from close to the tailbone, all the fat that covers the insides,

And of the peace-offering, let him give an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat of it, all the fat tail, he is to take away near the backbone; and the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts,

10 both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which you are to remove together with the kidneys.

And the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away;

11 Then the priest is to burn this on the altar as a food offering, a food offering to the Lord.

That it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering made by fire to the Lord.

12 If your offering is a goat, you are to present it before the Lord.

And if his offering is a goat, then let it be placed before the Lord,

13 Put your hand on its head and kill it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron's sons the priests will sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar.

And let him put his hand on the head of it and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron are to put some of its blood on and round the altar.

14 From your offering you are to present a food offering to the Lord made up of all the fat that covers the insides,

And of it let him make his offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts,

15 both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which you are to remove together with the kidneys.

And the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, let him take away;

16 Then the priest is to burn this on the altar as a food offering, an offering to the Lord using fire. All the fat is for the Lord.

That it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet smell: all the fat is the Lord's.

17 You must not eat any fat or any blood. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations everywhere you live.”

Let it be an order for ever, through all your generations, in all your houses, that you are not to take fat or blood for food.
