10 “But if his gift for a burnt offering is from the flock, from sheep or goats,(A) he is to present an unblemished male. 11 He will slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the Lord. Aaron’s sons the priests will sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides. 12 He will cut the animal into pieces[a] with its head and its suet, and the priest will arrange them on top of the burning wood on the altar. 13 But he is to wash the entrails and shanks with water. The priest will then present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

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 must 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 sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar.(C) He will present part of the fellowship sacrifice as a fire 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 fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

32 “Or if the offering that he brings as a sin offering is a lamb,(A) he is to bring an unblemished female. 33 He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. 34 Then the priest must take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He must pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. 35 He is to remove all its fat just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the fellowship sacrifice. The priest will burn it on the altar along with the fire offerings to the Lord. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
