Leviticus 3

1And if his oblation be an host of pacifics, and he will offer of beeves, male or female, without spot shall he offer them before our Lord.

2And shall lay his hand upon the head of his victim, which shall be immolated in the entire of the tabernacle of testimony, & the sons of Aaron the Priest shall pour the blood in the circuit of the altar.

3And they shall offer of the host of pacifics, for an oblation to our Lord, the fat that covered the entrails, and whatsoever fat is within:

4the two kidneys with the fat wherewith the guts are covered, and the caul of the liver with the two little kidneys.

5And they shall burn them upon the altar, for an holocaust, putting fire under the wood: for an oblation of most sweet savour to our Lord.

6But if his oblation, and the host of pacifics be of flocks, whether he offer male, or female, they shall be without spot.

7If he offer a lamb before our Lord,

8he shall put his hand upon the head of his victim; which shall be immolated in the entire of the tabernacle of testimony: and the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof in the circuit of the altar.

9And they shall offer of the host of pacifics, a sacrifice to our Lord: the fat and the whole rump,

10with the kidneys, and the fat that covereth the belly and all the vital parts, and both little kidneys, with the fat that is about the guts, and the caul of the liver with the two little kidneys.

11And the Priest shall burn them upon the altar, to the food of the fire, and of the oblation of our Lord.

12If his oblation be a goat, and he offer it to our Lord,

13he shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and shall immolate it in the entire of the tabernacle of testimony. And the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof in the circuit of the altar.

14And they shall take of it to the food of our Lord's fire, the fat that covereth the belly, and that covereth all the vital parts:

15the two little kidneys with the caul, that is upon them about the guts, and the tallow of the liver with the little kidneys:

16and the Priest shall burn them upon the altar, to the food of the fire, and of the most sweet savour. All the fat shall be our Lord's

17by a perpetual right in your generations, and in all your habitations: you shall eat no blood nor fat at all.
