1“When anyone wants to give an offering of thanksgiving to the Lord, he may use either a bull or a cow, but the animal must be entirely without defect if it is to be offered to the Lord!

2The man who brings the animal shall lay his hand upon its head and kill it at the door of the Tabernacle. Then Aaron's sons shall throw the blood against the sides of the altar

3and shall burn before the Lord the fat that covers the

4inward parts, the two kidneys and the loin-fat on them, and

5the gall bladder. And it will give the Lord much pleasure.

6“If a goat or sheep is used as a thank-offering to the Lord, it must have no defect and may be either a male or female.

7“If it is a lamb, the man who brings it

8shall lay his hand upon its head and kill it at the entrance of the Tabernacle; the priests shall throw the blood against the sides of the altar,

9and shall offer upon the altar the fat, the tail removed close to the backbone, the fat covering the internal organs,

10the two kidneys with the loin-fat on them, and

11the gall bladder, as a burnt offering to the Lord.

12“If anyone brings a goat as his offering to the Lord,

13he shall lay his hand upon its head and kill it at the entrance of the Tabernacle. The priest shall throw its blood against the sides of the altar,

14and shall offer upon the altar, as a burnt offering to the Lord, the fat that covers the insides,

15the two kidneys and the loin-fat on them, and the gall bladder.

16This burnt offering is very pleasing to the Lord. All the fat is Jehovah's.

17This is a permanent law throughout your land, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.“
