Leviticus 3:1–11

The Law of Peace Offerings

¹‘Now if his offering is a ^asacrifice of peace offerings, if he is going to offer out of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it ^bwithout defect before the Lord.

²‘^aHe shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and ^bslay it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

³‘From the sacrifice of the peace offerings he shall present an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,

⁴and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the ¹lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys.

⁵‘Then ^aAaron’s sons shall offer it up in smoke on the altar ^bon the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire; ^cit is an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

⁶‘But if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord is from the flock, he shall offer it, male or female, ^awithout defect.

⁷‘If he is going to offer ^aa lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it ^bbefore the Lord,

⁸and ^ahe shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and ^bslay it before the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons shall ^csprinkle its blood around on the altar.

⁹‘From the ^asacrifice of peace offerings he shall bring as an offering by fire to the Lord, its fat, ¹the entire fat tail which he shall remove close to 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, which is on the loins, and the ¹lobe of the liver, which he shall remove ^awith the kidneys.

¹¹‘Then the priest shall offer it up in smoke ^aon the altar as ^bfood, an offering by fire to the Lord.
