Leviticus 3
1 And if his gift to the Lord be a
peace-offering, if he should bring it of the oxen, whether it be male or
whether it be female, he shall bring it unblemished before the Lord.
2 And he shall lay his hands on the
head of the gift, and shall slay it before the Lord, by the doors of the
tabernacle of witness. And the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood
on the altar of burnt-offerings round about.
3 And they shall bring of the
peace-offering a burnt-sacrifice to the Lord, the fat covering the belly, and
all the fat on the belly. 4 And the
two kidneys and the fat that is upon them; he shall take away that which is on
the thighs, and the caul above the liver together with the kidneys.
5 And the priests the sons of Aaron
shall offer them on the altar on the burnt-offering, on the wood which is on
the fire upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a
smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
6 And if his gift be of the sheep, a
peace-offering to the Lord, male or female, he shall bring it unblemished.
7 If he bring a lamb for his gift, he
shall bring it before the Lord. 8 And
he shall lay his hands on the head of his offering, and shall slay it by the
doors of the tabernacle of witness; and the priests the sons of Aaron shall
pour out the blood on the altar round about.
9 And he shall bring of the
peace-offering a burnt-sacrifice to the Lord: the fat and the hinder part
unblemished he shall take away with the loins, and having taken away all the
fat that covers the belly, and all the fat that is on the belly,
10 and both the kidneys and the fat
that is upon them, and that which is on the thighs,
and the caul which is on the liver with the kidneys,
11 the priest shall offer these on
the altar: it is a sacrifice of sweet savour, a
burnt-offering to the Lord.
12 And if his offering be of the
goats, then shall he bring it before the Lord.
13 And he shall lay his hands on its
head; and they shall slay it before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of
witness; and the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour out the blood on the
altar round about. 14 And he shall
offer of it a burnt-offering to the Lord, even the
fat that covers the belly, and all the fat that is on the belly.
15 And both the kidneys, and all the
fat that is upon them, that which is upon the thighs, and the caul of the
liver with the kidneys, shall he take away.
16 And the priest shall offer it upon
the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a smell of sweet
savour to the Lord. All the fat belongs to the Lord.
17 It is a
perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your habitations; ye
shall eat no fat and no blood.
