Leviticus 3:1–17

The Peace Offering

3‘When his offering is a ^asacrifice of a peace offering, if he offers it of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it ^bwithout ¹blemish before the Lord. ²And ^che shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of meeting; and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall ^dsprinkle the blood all around on the altar. ³Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the Lord. ^eThe fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, ⁴the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove; ⁵and Aaron’s sons ^fshall burn it on the altar upon the ^gburnt sacrifice, which is on the wood that is on the fire, as an ^hoffering made by fire, a ⁱsweet aroma to the Lord.

⁶‘If his offering as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord is of the flock, whether male or female, ^jhe shall offer it without blemish. ⁷If he offers a ^klamb as his offering, then he shall ^loffer it ^mbefore the Lord. ⁸And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of meeting; and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.

⁹‘Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord, its fat and the whole 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, ¹⁰the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove; ¹¹and the priest shall burn them on the altar as ⁿfood, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

¹²‘And if his ^ooffering is a goat, then ^phe shall offer it before the Lord. ¹³He shall lay his hand on its head and kill it before the tabernacle of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. ¹⁴Then he shall offer from it his offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord. The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, ¹⁵the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove; ¹⁶and the priest shall burn them on the altar as food, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma; ^qall the fat is the Lord’s.

¹⁷‘This shall be a ^rperpetual ²statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall eat neither fat nor ^sblood.’ ”
