The Peace Offering
1If someone’s offering is a peace offering, and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he must offer one without defect before Yahweh. 2He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to splash the blood against the altar on all sides. 3From the peace offering he is to present a fire offering to Yahweh: the fat that covers the inner parts, and all the fat that is on them, 4the two kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys. 5Aaron’s sons are to burn it on the altar, on top of the burnt offering that is on the burning wood, a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh. 6If his offering to Yahweh as a peace offering is from the flock, whether male or female, he must offer one without defect. 7If he presents a lamb as his offering, he is to present it before Yahweh. 8He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it before the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons are to splash its blood against the altar on all sides. 9From the peace offering he is to present a fire offering to Yahweh: its fat, the entire fat tail, removed close to the backbone, and the fat that covers the inner parts, and all the fat that is on them, 10the two kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys. 11The priest is to burn it on the altar as food, a fire offering to Yahweh. 12If his offering is a goat, he is to present it before Yahweh. 13He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the tent of meeting, and Aaron’s sons are to splash its blood against the altar on all sides. 14From it he is to present his offering as a fire offering to Yahweh: the fat that covers the inner parts, and all the fat that is on them, 15the two kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys. 16The priest is to burn them on the altar as food, a fire offering, a pleasing aroma. All the fat belongs to Yahweh. 17This is a permanent statute for your generations, wherever you live: you must not eat any fat or any blood.”
