Leviticus 3

The Peace Offering

The Peace Offering

1And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace-offerings; if he offer of the herd , whether male or female , he shall offer it without blemish before Jehovah . 2And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his oblation , and kill it at the door of the tent of meeting : and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about . 3And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace-offerings an offering made by fire unto Jehovah ; the fat that covereth the inwards , and all the fat that is upon the inwards , 4and the two kidneys , and the fat that is on them , which is by the loins , and the caul upon the liver , with the kidneys , shall he take away . 5And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt-offering, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah .

The Role of the Priest

6And if his oblation for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah be of the flock ; male or female , he shall offer it without blemish . 7If he offer a lamb for his oblation , then shall he offer it before Jehovah ; 8and he shall lay his hand upon the head of his oblation , and kill it before the tent of meeting : and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about . 9And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace-offerings an offering made by fire unto Jehovah ; the fat thereof , the fat tail entire , he shall take away hard by the backbone ; and the fat that covereth the inwards , and all the fat that is upon the inwards , 10and the two kidneys , and the fat that is upon them , which is by the loins , and the caul upon the liver , with the kidneys , shall he take away . 11And the priest shall burn it upon the altar : it is the food of the offering made by fire unto Jehovah .

The Regulations for Offerings

12And if his oblation be a goat , then he shall offer it before Jehovah : 13and he shall lay his hand upon the head of it , and kill it before the tent of meeting ; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about . 14And he shall offer thereof his oblation , even an offering made by fire unto Jehovah ; the fat that covereth the inwards , and all the fat that is upon the inwards , 15and the two kidneys , and the fat that is upon them , which is by the loins , and the caul upon the liver , with the kidneys , shall he take away . 16And the priest shall burn them upon the altar : it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savor; all the fat is Jehovah ’s. 17It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings , that ye shall eat neither fat nor blood .
