Leviticus 3

Herd Peace Offering

(1) " 'If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offers it of the herd, whether it is a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.

(2) He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

(3) And he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the inward parts, and all the fat that is on the inward parts,

(4) and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the appendage above the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take it away.

(5) Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt sacrifice, which is on the wood that is on the fire; it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet scent to the LORD.

Flock and Lamb Peace Offering

(6) And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD is of the flock, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

(7) If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before the LORD.

(8) He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation; and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood of it around on the altar.

(9) Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat, and the whole rump, he shall take it off close to the backbone; and the fat that covers the inward parts, and all the fat that is on the inward parts,

(10) and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the appendage above the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take it away.

(11) Then the priest shall burn it on the altar; as a food offering made by fire to the LORD.

Goat Peace Offering

(12) If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD.

(13) And he shall lay his hand on the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood of it around on the altar.

(14) He shall offer from it his offering, as an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the inward parts, and all the fat that is on the inward parts,

(15) and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the appendage above the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take it away.

(16) The priest shall burn them on the altar; as a food offering made by fire for a sweet scent; all the fat is the LORD’S.

Prohibition to Eat Fat or Blood

(17) It shall be a perpetual statute for all your generations in all your dwellings, that YOU eat neither fat nor blood.' "
