Leviticus 3

¹ If someone in presenting a peace offering makes his offering from the herd, he may offer before the LORD either a male or a female animal, but it must be without blemish.

² He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and then slaughter it at the entrance of the meeting tent; but Aaron's sons, the priests, shall splash its blood on the sides of the altar.

³ From the peace offering he shall offer as an oblation to the LORD the fatty membrane over the inner organs, and all the fat that adheres to them,

⁴ as well as the two kidneys, with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall sever above the kidneys.

⁵ All this Aaron's sons shall then burn on the altar with the holocaust, on the wood over the fire, as a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD.

⁶ If the peace offering he presents to the LORD is from the flock, he may offer either a male or a female animal, but it must be without blemish.

⁷ If he presents a lamb as his offering, he shall bring it before the LORD,

¹¹ All this the priest shall burn on the altar as the food of the LORD'S oblation.

¹² If he presents a goat, he shall bring it before the LORD,

¹³ and after laying his hand on its head, he shall slaughter it before the meeting tent; but Aaron's sons shall splash its blood on the sides of the altar.

¹⁴ From it he shall offer as an oblation to the LORD the fatty membrane over the inner organs, and all the fat that adheres to them,
