CHAPTER 3
If
one’s offering
is a peace offering
and he
offers
an animal from
the herd,
whether
male
or
female,
he must present
it without blemish
before
the LORD.
He is to lay
his hand
on
the head
of the offering
and slaughter
it at the entrance
to the Tent
of Meeting.
Then Aaron’s
sons
the priests
shall sprinkle
the blood
on all sides
of
the altar.
From the peace offering,
he is to bring
an offering made by fire
to the LORD:
the fat
surrounding
the entrails,
all
the fat
that
is on
the entrails,
both
kidneys
with the fat
on them
near
the loins,
and
the lobe
of
the liver,
which he shall also remove
with
the kidneys.
Then Aaron’s
sons
are to burn
it
on the altar
atop
the burnt offering
that
is on
the burning
wood,
as an offering made by fire,
a pleasing
aroma
to the LORD.
If, however,
one’s peace offering
to the LORD
is from
the flock,
he must present
a male
or
female
without blemish.
He is to lay
his hand
on
the head
of his offering
and slaughter
it
in front of
the Tent
of Meeting.
Then Aaron’s
sons
shall sprinkle
its blood
on all sides
of
the altar.
And from the peace offering
he shall bring
an offering made by fire
to the LORD
consisting of its fat:
the entire
fat tail
cut off
close to
the backbone,
the fat
surrounding
the entrails,
all
the fat
on
the entrails,
both
kidneys
with the fat
on them
near
the loins,
and
the lobe
of
the liver,
which he shall remove
with
the kidneys.
He must lay
his hand
on
its head
and slaughter
it
in front of
the Tent
of Meeting.
Then Aaron’s
sons
shall sprinkle
its blood
on all sides
of
the altar.
And from
his offering
he shall present
an offering made by fire
to the LORD:
the fat
surrounding
the entrails,
all
the fat
that
is on
them,
both
kidneys
with the fat
on them
near
the loins,
and
the lobe
of
the liver,
which he will also remove
with
the kidneys.
Then the priest
will burn
the food
on the altar
as an offering made by fire,
a pleasing
aroma.
All
the fat
is the LORD’s.
This is a perpetual
statute
for the generations to come,
wherever
you live:
You must not
eat
any
fat
or any
blood.’”
