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 will bring a perfect one near before YHWH, 2 and he will lay his hand on the head of his offering, and slaughter it at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and sons of Aaron, the priests, will sprinkle the blood around the altar. 3 And he will bring 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, 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 will turn it aside, 5 and sons of Aaron will make it an incense on the altar, on the burnt-offering which will be on the wood, which will be on the fire, as a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH. 6 And if his offering is out of the flock for a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, male or female, he will bring a perfect one near. 7 If he is bringing a sheep near for his offering, then he will bring it near before YHWH, 8 and will lay his hand on the head of his offering, and slaughter it before the Tent of Meeting, and sons of Aaron will sprinkle its blood around the altar. 9 And he will bring near from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings a fire-offering to YHWH, its fat, the whole fat tail close by the bone—he will turn it aside, and the fat which is covering the innards, and all the fat which is on the innards, 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 will turn it aside, 11 and the priest will make it an incense on the altar as bread of a fire-offering to YHWH. 12 And if his offering is a goat, then he will bring it near before YHWH, 13 and will lay his hand on its head, and slaughter it before the Tent of Meeting, and sons of Aaron will sprinkle its blood around the altar. 14 And he will bring 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, 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 will turn it aside, 16 and the priest will make them an incense on the altar as bread of a fire-offering, for refreshing fragrance. All the fat will be YHWH’s. 17 This will be a continuous statute throughout your generations in all your settlements: you do not eat any fat or any blood.”
