Leviticus 3

English Amplified

← Chapter 2 Jump to: Chapter 4 →

1IF A man's offering is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord.

2He shall lay [both] his hands upon the head of his offering and kill it at the door of the Tent of Meeting; and Aaron's sons the priests shall throw the blood against the altar round about.

3And from the sacrifice of the peace offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord, he shall offer the fat that covers and is upon the entrails,

4And the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys.

5Aaron's sons shall burn it all on the altar upon the burnt offering which is on the wood on the fire, an offering made by fire, of a sweet and satisfying odor to the Lord.

6If his peace offering to the Lord is an animal from the flock, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

7If he offers a lamb, then he shall offer it before the Lord.

8He shall lay [both] his hands on the head of his offering and kill it before the Tent of Meeting; and Aaron's sons shall throw its blood around against the altar.

9And he shall offer from the peace offering as an offering made by fire to the Lord: the fat of it, the fat tail as a whole, taking it off close to the backbone, and the fat that covers and is upon the entrails,

10And the two kidneys, and the fat on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver, which he shall take away with the kidneys.

11The priest shall burn it upon the altar, a food offering made by fire to the Lord.

12If [a man's] offering is a goat, he shall offer it before the Lord,

13And lay his hands upon its head, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall throw its blood against the altar round about.

14Then he shall offer from it as his offering made by fire to the Lord: the fat that covers and is on the entrails,

15And the two kidneys and the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys.

16The priest shall burn them on the altar as food, offered by fire, for a sweet and satisfying fragrance. All the fat is the Lord's.

17It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood.
