The Fellowship Offering

“If his offering is a fellowship sacrifice,(A) and he is presenting an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he is to present one without blemish(B) before the Lord. He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the tent of meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests will splatter the blood on all sides of the altar.(C) He will present part of the fellowship sacrifice as a food offering to the Lord: the fat(D) surrounding the entrails,(E) all the fat that is on the entrails, and the two kidneys(F) with the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver(G) with the kidneys. Aaron’s sons will burn it on the altar along with the burnt offering(H) that is on the burning wood, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

“If his offering as a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord is from the flock, he is to present a male or female without blemish. If he is presenting a lamb for his offering, he is to present it before the Lord. He must lay his hand on the head of his offering, then slaughter it before the tent of meeting. Aaron’s sons will splatter its blood on all sides of the altar. He will then present part of the fellowship sacrifice as a food offering to the Lord consisting of its fat and the entire fat tail,(I) which he is to remove close to the backbone. He will also remove the fat surrounding the entrails,(J) 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,(K) as a food offering to the Lord.

12 “If his offering is a goat,(L) 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 splatter[a] its blood on all sides of the altar. 14 He will present part of his offering as a food 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 food offering for a pleasing aroma.[b]

“All fat belongs to the Lord. 17 This is a permanent statute(M) throughout your generations, wherever you live: you must not eat any fat or any blood.”(N)

The Law of Peace Offerings

‘Now if his offering is a (A)sacrifice of peace offerings, if he is going to offer from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it (B)without defect before the Lord. And (C)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 sprinkle the blood around on the altar. From the sacrifice of the peace offerings he shall then present an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, 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. 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 the Lord. But if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord is from the flock, he shall offer it, male or female, (H)without defect. If he is going to offer (I)a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it (J)before the Lord, and (K)he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and (L)slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons shall (M)sprinkle its blood around on the altar. From the (N)sacrifice of peace offerings he shall then bring as an offering by fire to the Lord, its fat, the entire fat tail which he shall remove close to the backbone, 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 [b]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 the Lord.

12 ‘Now if his offering is (R)a goat, then he shall offer it before the Lord, 13 and he shall lay his hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting, and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 14 From it he shall present his offering as an offering by fire to the Lord, 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 [c]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove (S)with the kidneys. 16 The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire as a soothing aroma; (T)all fat is the Lords. 17 It is a (U)permanent statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places: you shall not eat any fat (V)or any blood.’”
