Vayikra (Lev) 3

1(iv) “‘If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offerings, then, if he offers before Adonai an animal from the herd, then, no matter whether it is male or female, it must be without defect. 2He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aharon, the cohanim, are to splash the blood against all sides of the altar. 3He is to present the sacrifice of the peace offerings as an offering made by fire to Adonai; it is to consist of the fat covering the inner organs, all the fat above the inner organs, 4the two kidneys, the fat on them near the flanks, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys. 5Aharon’s sons will make it go up in smoke on the altar on top of the burnt offering which is on the wood on the fire; it is an offering made by fire, a fragrant aroma for Adonai.
6“‘If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Adonai is from the flock, then, when he offers it, no matter whether it is male or female, it must be without defect. 7If he brings a lamb for his offering, then he is to present it before Adonai. 8He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and the sons of Aharon are to splash its blood against all sides of the altar. 9From the sacrifices made as peace offerings, he is to present Adonai with an offering made by fire; it is to consist of its fat, the entire fat tail, which he will remove close to the lower backbone, the fat covering the inner organs, all the fat above the inner organs, 10the two kidneys, the fat on them near the flanks, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys. 11The cohen will make it go up in smoke on the altar; it is food, an offering made by fire to Adonai.
12“‘If his offering is a goat, then he is to present it before Adonai. 13He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting, and the sons of Aharon are to splash its blood against all sides of the altar. 14He is to present from it his offering, an offering made by fire to Adonai ; it is to consist of the fat covering the inner organs, all the fat above the inner organs, 15the two kidneys, the fat on them near the flanks, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys. 16The cohen will make them go up in smoke on the altar; it is food, an offering made by fire to be a fragrant aroma; all the fat belongs to Adonai. 17It is to be a permanent regulation through all your generations wherever you live that you will eat neither fat nor blood.’”

Fellowship Offerings
1When any of you offer one of your cattle as a fellowship offering, it is to be a bull or a cow without any defects. 2You shall put your hand on the head of the animal and kill it at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence. The Aaronite priests shall throw the blood against all four sides of the altar 3and present the following parts of the animal as a food offering to the Lord: all the fat on the internal organs, 4the kidneys and the fat on them, and the best part of the liver. 5The priests shall burn all this on the altar along with the burnt offerings. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the Lord.
6If a sheep or goat is used as a fellowship offering, it may be male or female, but it must be without any defects. 7If you offer a sheep, 8you shall put your hand on its head and kill it in front of the Tent. The priests shall throw its blood against all four sides of the altar 9and present the following parts of the animal as a food offering to the Lord: the fat, the entire fat tail cut off near the backbone, all the fat covering the internal organs, 10the kidneys and the fat on them, and the best part of the liver. 11The officiating priest shall burn all this on the altar as a food offering to the Lord.
