3 “‘If your offering is a fellowship offering,^(A) and you offer an animal from the herd, whether male or female, you are to present before the Lord an animal without defect.^(B) ²You are to lay your hand on the head^(C) of your offering and slaughter it^(D) at the entrance to the tent of meeting.^(E) Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash^(F) the blood against the sides^(G) of the altar.^(H) ³From the fellowship offering you are to bring a food offering to the Lord: the internal organs^(I) and all the fat^(J) that is connected to them, ⁴both kidneys^(K) with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which you will remove with the kidneys. ⁵Then Aaron’s sons^(L) are to burn it on the altar^(M) on top of the burnt offering^(N) that is lying on the burning wood;^(O) it is a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.^(P)

⁶“‘If you offer an animal from the flock as a fellowship offering^(Q) to the Lord, you are to offer a male or female without defect. ⁷If you offer a lamb,^(R) you are to present it before the Lord,^(S) ⁸lay your hand on its head and slaughter it^(T) in front of the tent of meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar. ⁹From the fellowship offering you are to bring a food offering^(U) to the Lord: its fat, the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the internal organs and all the fat that is connected to them, ¹⁰both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which you will remove with the kidneys. ¹¹The priest shall burn them on the altar^(V) as a food offering^(W) presented to the Lord.^(X)

¹²“‘If your offering is a goat,^(Y) you are to present it before the Lord, ¹³lay your hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall splash^(Z) its blood against the sides of the altar.^(AA) ¹⁴From what you offer you are to present this food offering to the Lord: the internal organs and all the fat that is connected to them, ¹⁵both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which you will remove with the kidneys.^(AB) ¹⁶The priest shall burn them on the altar^(AC) as a food offering,^(AD) a pleasing aroma.^(AE) All the fat^(AF) is the Lord’s.^(AG)

The Fellowship Offering

¹¹“‘These are the regulations for the fellowship offering anyone may present to the Lord:

¹²“‘If they offer it as an expression of thankfulness, then along with this thank offering^(A) they are to offer thick loaves^(B) made without yeast^(C) and with olive oil mixed in, thin loaves^(D) made without yeast and brushed with oil,^(E) and thick loaves of the finest flour well-kneaded and with oil mixed in. ¹³Along with their fellowship offering of thanksgiving^(F) they are to present an offering with thick loaves of bread made with yeast.^(G) ¹⁴They are to bring one of each kind as an offering, a contribution to the Lord; it belongs to the priest who splashes the blood of the fellowship offering against the altar. ¹⁵The meat of their fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; they must leave none of it till morning.^(H)

¹⁶“‘If, however, their offering is the result of a vow^(I) or is a freewill offering,^(J) the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day they offer it, but anything left over may be eaten on the next day.^(K) ¹⁷Any meat of the sacrifice left over till the third day must be burned up.^(L) ¹⁸If any meat of the fellowship offering^(M) is eaten on the third day, the one who offered it will not be accepted.^(N) It will not be reckoned^(O) to their credit, for it has become impure; the person who eats any of it will be held responsible.^(P)

¹⁹“‘Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned up. As for other meat, anyone ceremonially clean may eat it. ²⁰But if anyone who is unclean^(Q) eats any meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord, they must be cut off from their people.^(R) ²¹Anyone who touches something unclean^(S)—whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean creature that moves along the ground^[a]—and then eats any of the meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord must be cut off from their people.’”
