Leviticus 3:1–11

The Fellowship Offering

3“If his offering is a fellowship sacrifice, ^zand he is presenting an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he must present one without blemish ^abefore the Lord. ²He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the tent of meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests will sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar. ^b3He will present part of the fellowship sacrifice as a fire offering to the Lord: the fat ^csurrounding the entrails, ^dall the fat that is on the entrails, ⁴and the two kidneys ^ewith the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver ^fwith the kidneys. ⁵Aaron’s sons will burn it on the altar along with the burnt offering ^gthat is on the burning wood, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

⁶“If his offering as a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord is from the flock, he must present a male or female without blemish. ⁷If he is presenting a lamb for his offering, he is to present it before the Lord. ⁸He must lay his hand on the head of his offering, then slaughter it before the tent of meeting. Aaron’s sons will sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar. ⁹He will then present part of the fellowship sacrifice as a fire offering to the Lord consisting of its fat and the entire fat tail, ^hwhich he is to remove close to the backbone. He will also remove the fat surrounding the entrails, ⁱall the fat on the entrails, ¹⁰the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins, and the fatty lobe of the liver above the kidneys. ¹¹Then the priest will burn the food on the altar, ^jas a fire offering to the Lord.
