The Statutes of Peace Offerings

3 ‘Now if his offering is a (A)sacrifice of peace offerings, if he is going to bring near one from the herd, whether male or female, he shall bring it near (B)without blemish before Yahweh. 2 (C)Then he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and (D)slaughter it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash the blood around on the altar. 3 From the sacrifice of the peace offerings he shall bring an offering by fire near to Yahweh, 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, which is on the loins, and the [a]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. 5 Then (E)Aaron’s sons shall offer it up in smoke on the altar (F)on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire; (G)it is an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh. 6 But if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh is from the flock, he shall bring it near, male or female, (H)without blemish. 7 If he is going to bring near (I)a lamb for his offering, then he shall bring it near (J)before Yahweh, 8 and (K)he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and (L)slaughter it before the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons shall (M)splash its blood around on the altar. 9 And from the (N)sacrifice of peace offerings he shall bring near as an offering by fire to Yahweh its fat, [b]the entire fat tail which he shall remove close to the backbone, and the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, 10 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the [c]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove (O)with the kidneys. 11 Then the priest shall offer it up in smoke (P)on the altar as (Q)food, an offering by fire to Yahweh.

12 ‘Moreover, if his offering is (R)a goat, then he shall bring it near before Yahweh, 13 and he shall lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the tent of meeting, and the sons of Aaron shall splash its blood around on the altar. 14 And from it he shall bring near his offering as an offering by fire to Yahweh the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, 15 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the [d]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove (S)with the kidneys. 16 And the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire for a soothing aroma; (T)all fat is Yahweh’s. 17 It is a (U)perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your places of habitation: you shall not eat any fat (V)or any blood.’”

Laws for Fellowship Offerings

3 “‘Now if[a] his offering is a sacrifice of fellowship offering, if he brings it from the cattle,[b] whether male or female, he must bring it without defect before Yahweh. 2 He[c] must lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance of the tent of assembly, and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood on the altar all around. 3 He shall present[d] from the sacrifice of the fellowship offering an offering made by fire for Yahweh consisting of[e] the fat covering the inner parts[f] and all the fat that is on the inner parts,[g] 4 the two kidneys,[h] and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys. 5 Aaron’s sons shall turn it to smoke on the altar in addition to the burnt offering that is on the wood, which is on the fire; it is an offering made by fire as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

6 “‘But if his offering for a sacrifice of fellowship offering for Yahweh is from the flock,[i] he must bring a male or a female without defect. 7 If he brings a sheep as his offering, then[j] he shall present it before Yahweh, 8 and he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and he shall slaughter it before the tent of assembly, and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood on the altar all around. 9 He shall present[k] from the sacrifice of the fellowship offering an offering made by fire for Yahweh: he must remove its fat, the entire fat tail near the tailbone, and the fat covering the inner parts[l] and all the fat that is on the inner parts,[m] 10 the two kidneys,[n] and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys. 11 The priest[o] shall turn it into smoke on the altar as a food offering made by fire for Yahweh.

12 “‘And[p] if his offering is a goat, then[q] he shall bring it before Yahweh, 13 and he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and he shall slaughter it before the tent of assembly, and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood on the altar all around. 14 He shall present[r] his offering from it as an offering made by fire for Yahweh: the fat covering the inner parts[s] and all the fat that is on the inner parts,[t] 15 the two kidneys,[u] and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys. 16 The priest[v] shall turn them into smoke on the altar as a food offering;[w] all the fat is an offering made by fire as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. 17 This is[x] a lasting statute for your generations in all your dwellings: you must not eat any fat or any blood.’”
