Leviticus 3

Laws for Peace Offerings

(Leviticus 7:11–21)

1And if his offering be a sacrifice of peace offerings, if he brings near from the herd, whether male or whether female, without blemish he shall bring it near before the LORD. 2And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and slaughter him at the entrance of the tent^a of appointed time (mo-ed); and the sons of Aaron the priests shall dash the blood upon the altar round about.

3And he shall bring near from the sacrifice of the peace offerings a fire-offering to the LORD: the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 4and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the lobe upon the liver, which with the kidneys he shall remove. 5And the sons of Aaron shall make it smoke on the altar, upon the burnt offering which is upon the wood that is on the fire; it is a fire-offering, a soothing aroma to the LORD.

6And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD be from the flock, male or female, without blemish he shall bring it near.

7If he brings near a lamb for his offering, then he shall bring him near before the LORD. 8And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and slaughter him before the tent of appointed time (mo-ed); and the sons of Aaron shall dash his blood upon the altar round about.

9And he shall bring near from the sacrifice of the peace offerings a fire-offering to the LORD: its fat, the whole fat tail, close by the backbone he shall remove it; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 10and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the lobe upon the liver, which with the kidneys he shall remove. 11And the priest shall make it smoke on the altar; it is the bread of a fire-offering to the LORD.

12And if his offering be a goat, then he shall bring him near before the LORD. 13And he shall lay his hand upon his head, and slaughter him before the tent of appointed time (mo-ed); and the sons of Aaron shall dash his blood upon the altar round about.

14And he shall bring near from it his offering, a fire-offering to the LORD: the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 15and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the lobe upon the liver, which with the kidneys he shall remove. 16And the priest shall make them smoke on the altar; it is the bread of a fire-offering, for a soothing aroma; all the fat is the LORD's.

17An everlasting statute^b throughout your generations, in all your dwellings: all fat and all blood you shall not eat.
