Leviticus 3
1 “‘If his offering is a fellowship sacrifice, and he presents it from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer an animal without blemish before the LORD.
2 He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the tent of meeting. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall splash the blood all around the altar.
3 From this fellowship sacrifice he shall present as an offering made by fire to the LORD the fat covering the entrails and all the fat on the entrails,
4 the two kidneys, the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove along with the kidneys.
5 Aaron’s sons shall burn these on the altar, on top of the burnt offering that is on the wood over the fire. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
6 If his offering to the LORD as a fellowship sacrifice is from the flock, he shall offer a male or a female without blemish.
7 If he presents a lamb as his offering, he shall bring it before the LORD.
8 He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it before the tent of meeting. Aaron’s sons shall splash its blood all around the altar.
9 From this fellowship sacrifice he shall present its fat as an offering made by fire to the LORD: the entire fat tail, which he shall remove near the backbone, the fat covering the entrails, and all the fat on the entrails,
10 the two kidneys, the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove along with the kidneys.
11 The priest shall burn these on the altar. It is food, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
12 If his offering is a goat, he shall present it before the LORD.
13 He shall lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the tent of meeting. Aaron’s sons shall splash its blood all around the altar.
14 From it he shall present his offering as an offering made by fire to the LORD: the fat covering the entrails and all the fat on the entrails,
15 the two kidneys, the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove along with the kidneys.
16 The priest shall burn them on the altar. They are food, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma. All the fat belongs to the LORD.
17 This is a lasting ordinance for your generations, wherever you live: you shall eat neither fat nor blood.’”
