Peace Offerings
3 “If someone’s[a] offering is a peace offering[b] from the cattle, the presenter[c] is to offer it without defect, whether the animal[d] is male or female. They are to be brought to the Lord. 2 Then the presenter is to lay his hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. After this, Aaron’s sons, the priests, are to sprinkle the blood on and around the altar.
3 “The presenter is then to bring a gift from the peace offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord. He is to remove the fat that covers the internal organs,[e] all of the fat that is inside the internal organs, 4 the two kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the fatty mass[f] that surrounds the liver and kidneys. 5 Then Aaron’s sons are to burn them on the altar, over the burnt offering that has been placed on the wood over the fire, as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
6 “If his offering to the Lord is a peace offering from the flock, whether male or female, he is to bring it without defect. 7 If the offering that he is bringing is a lamb, then he is to bring it to the Lord. 8 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 are to sprinkle the blood on and around the altar.
9 “The presenter is then to bring a gift from the peace offering as an offering made by fire to the Lord. He is to remove the fat—the entire fat tail near the spine, the fat that covers the internal organs, all of the fat that is inside the internal organs, 10 the two kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the fatty mass[g] that surrounds the liver and kidneys. 11 Then the priest is to burn them on the altar as a food offering made by fire to the Lord.
12 “If his offering is a goat, then he is to bring it to the Lord, 13 lay his hand over its head, then slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. After this, Aaron’s sons are to sprinkle the blood on and around the altar.
14 “The presenter is then to present the gift as an offering made by fire to the Lord, that is, the fat that covers the internal organs, all the fat that is inside the internal organs, 15 the two kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the fatty mass[h] that surrounds the liver and kidneys. 16 The priest is to burn it on the altar, a food offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma. All the fat belongs to the Lord.
17 “This is to be a lasting statute for all your generations, wherever you live. You are not to eat any fat or blood.”

3 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord.
2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the Lord; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
5 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
6 And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the Lord be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.
7 If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the Lord.
8 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
9 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the Lord; the fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
10 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
