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 gift to the Lord be a peace-offering, if he should bring it of the oxen, whether it be male or whether it be female, he shall bring it unblemished 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 shall lay his hands on the head of the gift, and shall kill it before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. And the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood on the altar of burnt offerings round about.

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

And they shall bring of the peace-offering a burnt sacrifice to the Lord, the fat covering the belly, and all the fat on the belly.

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 that is upon them; he shall take away that which is on the thighs, and the caul above the liver together with the kidneys.

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.

And the priests the sons of Aaron shall offer them on the altar on the burnt offering, on the wood which is on the fire upon the altar: [it is] a burnt offering, a smell of sweet savour 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 his gift be of the sheep, a peace-offering to the Lord, male or female, he shall bring it unblemished.

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

If he bring a lamb for his gift, he shall bring it 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 shall lay his hands on the head of his offering, and shall kill it by the doors of the tabernacle of witness; and the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour out the blood on the altar round about.

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 he shall bring of the peace-offering a burnt sacrifice to the Lord: the fat and the hinder part unblemished he shall take away with the loins, and having taken away all the fat that covers the belly, and all the fat that is on the belly,

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 both the kidneys and the fat that is upon them, [and] that which is on the thighs, and the caul which is on the liver with the kidneys,

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

the priest shall offer these on the altar: [it is] a sacrifice of sweet savour, a burnt offering to the Lord.

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

And if his offering be of the goats, then shall he bring it 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 he shall lay his hands on its head; and they shall kill it before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness; and the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour out the blood on the altar round about.

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 he shall offer of it a burnt offering to the Lord, [even] the fat that covers the belly, and all the fat that is on the belly.

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 both the kidneys, and all the fat that is upon them, that which is upon the thighs, and the caul of the liver with the kidneys, shall he 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.

And the priest shall offer it upon the altar: [it is] a burnt offering, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. All the fat [belongs] to the Lord.

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

[It is] a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your habitations; you shall eat no fat and no blood.
