Leviticus 3

1 “And if his offering [is] a sacrifice of peace-offerings, if he is bringing near out of the herd, whether male or female, he brings a perfect one near before YHWH,

“‘If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offerings; if he offers it from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without defect before Adonai.

2 and he has laid his hand on the head of his offering, and has slaughtered it at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and sons of Aaron, the priests, have sprinkled the blood around the altar.

He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

3 And he has brought near from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings a fire-offering to YHWH, the fat which is covering the innards, and all the fat which [is] on the innards,

He shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to Adonai; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,

4 and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, which [is] on the flanks, and the redundance on the liver above the kidneys—he turns it aside,

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away.

5 and sons of Aaron have made it an incense on the altar, on the burnt-offering which [is] on the wood, which [is] on the fire, [as] a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH.

Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Adonai.

6 And if his offering [is] out of the flock for a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, male or female, he brings a perfect one near;

“‘If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Adonai is from the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without defect.

7 if he is bringing a sheep near [for] his offering, then he has brought it near before YHWH,

If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before Adonai;

8 and has laid his hand on the head of his offering, and has slaughtered it before the Tent of Meeting, and sons of Aaron have sprinkled its blood around the altar.

and he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

9 And he has brought near from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings a fire-offering to YHWH, its fat, the whole fat tail close by the bone—he turns it aside, and the fat which is covering the innards, and all the fat which [is] on the innards,

He shall offer from the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to Adonai; its fat, the entire tail fat, he shall take away close to the backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards,

10 and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, which [is] on the flanks, and the redundance on the liver above the kidneys—he turns it aside,

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away.

11 and the priest has made it an incense on the altar [as] bread of a fire-offering to YHWH.

The priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to Adonai.

12 And if his offering [is] a goat, then he has brought it near before YHWH,

“‘If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before Adonai:

13 and has laid his hand on its head, and has slaughtered it before the Tent of Meeting, and sons of Aaron have sprinkled its blood around the altar;

and he shall lay his hand on its head, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting; and the sons of Aaron [Light-bringer] shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

14 and he has brought his offering near from it, a fire-offering to YHWH, the fat which is covering the innards, and all the fat which [is] on the innards,

He shall offer from it as his offering, an offering made by fire to Adonai; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,

15 and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, which [is] on the flanks, and the redundance on the liver above the kidneys—he turns it aside,

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away.

16 and the priest has made them an incense on the altar [as] bread of a fire-offering, for refreshing fragrance; all the fat [is] YHWH’s.

The priest shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma; all the fat is Adonai’s.

17 [This is] a continuous statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you do not eat any fat or any blood.”

“‘It shall be a perpetual regulation throughout all your generations in all your dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.’”
