¹‘And if his offering is a sacrifice of peace-offerings, if out of the herd he is bringing near, whether male or female, a perfect one he doth bring near before Jehovah, ²and he hath laid his hand on the head of his offering, and hath slaughtered it at the opening of the tent of meeting, and sons of Aaron, the priests, have sprinkled the blood on the altar round about.

³‘And he hath brought near from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings a fire-offering to Jehovah, the fat which is covering the inwards, and all the fat which is on the inwards, ⁴and the two kidneys, and the fat which is on them, which is on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver, (beside the kidneys he doth turn it aside), ⁵and sons of Aaron have made it a perfume on the altar, on the burnt-offering which is on the wood, which is on the fire—a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.

⁶‘And if his offering is out of the flock for a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, male or female, a perfect one he doth bring near; ⁷if a sheep he is bringing near for his offering, then he hath brought it near before Jehovah, ⁸and hath laid his hand on the head of his offering, and hath slaughtered it before the tent of meeting, and sons of Aaron have sprinkled its blood on the altar round about.

⁹‘And he hath brought near from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings a fire-offering to Jehovah, its fat, the whole fat tail (over-against the bone he doth turn it aside), and the fat which is covering the inwards, and all the fat which is on the inwards, ¹⁰and the two kidneys, and the fat which is on them, which is on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver, (beside the kidneys he doth turn it aside), ¹¹and the priest hath made it a perfume on the altar—bread of a fire-offering to Jehovah.

¹²‘And if his offering is a goat, then he hath brought it near before Jehovah, ¹³and hath laid his hand on its head, and hath slaughtered it before the tent of meeting, and sons of Aaron have sprinkled its blood on the altar round about; ¹⁴and he hath brought near from it his offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah, the fat which is covering the inwards, and all the fat which is on the inwards, ¹⁵and the two kidneys, and the fat which is upon them, which is on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver, (beside the kidneys he doth turn it aside), ¹⁶and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar—bread of a fire-offering, for sweet fragrance; all the fat is Jehovah’s.

¹⁷‘A statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings: any fat or any blood ye do not eat.’
