Leviticus 3:7-17 ▼

7 If he is presenting a lamb for his offering, he is to present it before the LORD.

8 He must lay his hand on the head of his offering, then slaughter it before the tent of meeting. Aaron’s sons will sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

9 He will then present part of the fellowship sacrifice as a fire offering to the LORD consisting of its fat and the entire fat tail, which he is to remove close to the backbone. He will also remove the fat surrounding the entrails, all the fat on the entrails,

10 the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins, and the fatty lobe of the liver above the kidneys.

11 Then the priest will burn the food on the altar, as a fire offering to the LORD.

12 “ If his offering is a goat, he is to present it before the LORD.

13 He must lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the tent of meeting. Aaron’s sons will sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

14 He will present part of his offering as a fire offering to the LORD : the fat surrounding the entrails, all the fat that is on the entrails,

15 and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver with the kidneys.

16 Then the priest will burn the food on the altar, as a fire offering for a pleasing aroma.“ All fat belongs to the LORD.

17 This is a permanent statute throughout your generations, wherever you live: you must not eat any fat or any blood.”
