Leviticus 3:1-16

¹“Also tell the people, ‘When the offering that you bring to Yahweh is to maintain good fellowship with him, you may bring a bull or a cow from your herd of cattle, but what you present to Yahweh must be an animal that has no defects.

²You must bring the animal to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it and drain some of its blood in a bowl. Then one of Aaron's sons, one of the priests, will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

³From that offering, you must offer to Yahweh, as a sacrifice that will be burned in the fire, all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, or which is attached to them—

⁴the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

⁵Then one of the priests will burn those things on the altar, along with the other parts of the animal that will be completely burned to be an offering to Yahweh. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.

⁶If that offering to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh is a sheep or a goat, it must also be an animal that has no defects.

⁷If you offer a lamb, you must present it to Yahweh at the entrance to the Sacred Tent. You must lay your hands on the lamb's head and then slaughter it. You must drain some of its blood in a bowl.

⁸Then one of the priests will sprinkle that blood against all sides of the altar.

⁹You must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: Its fat, the fat tail that you must cut off close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the lamb or which is attached to them—

¹⁰the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

¹¹One of the priests will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; it will be as though they will be a special food given to Yahweh.

¹²If your offering is a goat, you must take/present it to Yahweh.

¹³You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it in front of the Sacred Tent. Then one of Aaron's sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

¹⁴From that offering you must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: All the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal or which is attached to them,

¹⁵the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

¹⁶The priest will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; it will be as though they will be a special food given to Yahweh. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. All the fat of the animals that are sacrificed belongs to Yahweh.
