GOD'S WORD® Translation 1[The LORD continued,] "If your sacrifice is a fellowship offering of cattle in the LORD's presence, it must be a male or female animal that has no defects. 2Place your hand on the animal's head. Then slaughter it at the entrance to the tent of meeting. Then Aaron's sons, the priests, will throw the blood against the altar on all sides. 3From your offering remove the fat that covers the internal organs 4and the two kidneys with the fat on them and offer them by fire to the LORD. Also cut off the lobe of the liver along with the kidneys. 5Then Aaron's sons will lay them on top of the burnt offering on the burning wood. It is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD. 6"If your sacrifice is a fellowship offering of sheep to the LORD, you must bring a male or female animal that has no defects. 7If your offering is a lamb, you must bring it to the LORD. 8Place your hand on the animal's head. Slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting. Then Aaron's sons will throw the blood against the altar on all sides. 9Then take the fat from the fellowship offering and offer it by fire to the LORD. Remove all the fat from the tail and the fat that covers the internal organs. 10Also remove the two kidneys with the fat on them along with the lobe of the liver. 11Then the priest will burn the fellowship offering on the altar. It is food, an offering by fire to the LORD. 12"If your offering is a goat, you must bring it to the LORD. 13Place your hand on its head. Slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting. Then Aaron's sons will throw the blood against the altar on all sides. 14Then bring the fat that covers the internal organs 15and the two kidneys with the fat on them as an offering by fire to the LORD. Also remove the lobe of the liver along with the kidneys. 16Then the priest will burn them on the altar. It is food, an offering by fire to the LORD. It is a soothing aroma. All the fat belongs to the LORD. 17This is a permanent law for generations to come wherever you live: Never eat any fat or blood." GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of God's Word to the Nations.
