Leviticus 3
Peace offerings
Here are the instructions for when people bring me peace offerings.
If the animal is from the herd it can be either male or female, but it must be without defect for me. The person bringing the offering should lay his hand on the offering’s head and kill it at the meeting tent’s entrance. Aaron’s sons (the priests) will then throw its blood against the sides of the altar. Then that person needs to offer the fat from the animal’s guts as a food offering to me. He should remove the the two kidneys, the kidney fat (near the loins), and the liver. Then Aaron’s sons can burn it on the altar on top of the animal (which will be directly on top of the burning wood). This will be a food offering that smells fragrant to me.
“If the peace offering is an animal from the flock it can be either male or female, but it needs to be without defect. If the animal is a lamb, then he should offer it to me by laying his hand on its head and killing it in front of the meeting tent. Aaron’s sons will then throw its blood against the sides of the altar. Then he will offer the animal’s fat as a food offering to me. He should remove the fat tail (cutting it close to the backbone), the fat near the guts, the two kidneys (with the fat near the loins), and the liver. Then the priest should burn it on the altar as a food offering to me.
“If the offering is a goat, then he should offer it to me by laying his hand on its head and killing it in front of the meeting tent. Aaron’s sons will throw its blood against the sides of the altar. Then he will offer the fatty guts, the two kidneys (with their fat by the loins), and the liver as a food offering to the Existing One. The priest should burn them on the altar as a food offering which will give off a nice fragrance. All the fat* belongs to me.
Make it a rule to never eat fat or blood throughout all the generations of your people forever, no matter where they live.
*The fat was considered the best part
