Leviticus 3

Offerings of Well-Being

1"If a man's offering is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offers an animal from the herd, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord. 2And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering and kill it at the door of the tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons the priests shall throw the blood against the altar round about. 3And from the sacrifice of the peace offering, as an offering by fire to the Lord, he shall offer the fat covering the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, 4and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys. 5Then Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt offering, which is upon the wood on the fire; it is an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the Lord.

6"If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the Lord is an animal from the flock, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 7If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before the Lord, 8laying his hand upon the head of his offering and killing it before the tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons shall throw its blood against the altar round about. 9Then from the sacrifice of the peace offering as an offering by fire to the Lord he shall offer its fat, the fat tail entire, taking it away close by the backbone, and the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails, 10and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys. 11And the priest shall burn it on the altar as food offered by fire to the Lord.

12"If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the Lord, 13and lay his hand upon its head, and kill it before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall throw its blood against the altar round about. 14Then he shall offer from it, as his offering for an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat covering the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails, 15and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys. 16And the priest shall burn them on the altar as food offered by fire for a pleasing odor. All fat is the Lord's. 17It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood."
