THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS

 

Leviticus Chapter 3

1 ¶ And if his gift is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offers an animal from the herd; whether it is a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.

2 And he shall lay his hands on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the altar all around.

3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails,

4 And the two kidneys, with the fat that is on them, at the loins, and the caul above the liver, which he shall take away, with the kidneys.

5 And Aaron’s sons shall burn it all on the altar on the burnt sacrifice, which is on the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.

6 ¶ And if his gift for a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD is of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

7 If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before the LORD.

8 And he shall lay his hands on the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood of it round about on the altar.

9 And he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering as an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat of it, and the whole rump, he shall take it off close to the backbone; and the fat that covers the insides, and all the fat that is on the entrails,

10 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, which he shall take away, with the kidneys.

11 And the priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to the LORD.

12 And if his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD.

13 And he shall lay his hands on the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood of it on the altar round about.

14 And he shall offer from it his offering, an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the insides, and all the fat that is on the entrails,

15 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, which he shall take away, with the kidneys.

16 And the priest shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savor: all the fat is the LORD’S.

17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that you eat neither fat nor blood.
