3 “Now if it’s a sacrifice for a peace offering, if it’s from the herd, then either a male or female can be presented to Yahweh as long as it has no defects. 2 The presenter must lay their hand on the head of the bull or cow, then he must slaughter it in front of the sacred tent. Then the priest Aharon’s (Aaron’s) sons will splash the blood on the altar on each side. 3 From that peace offering, he must present the fat covering the innards and which is part of the innards as a gift to Yahweh, 4 along with both kidneys and the fat that’s attached to them, and the lobe on the liver (all of which need to be removed from the animal). 5 Then Aharon’s sons must burn them on the wood that’s burning on the altar as a gift—to become smoke as a pleasing aroma for Yahweh.
6 “However, if the sacrifice for a peace offering is from the flock, then either a male or a female can be presented to Yahweh as long as it has no defects. 7 When the offering is being presented, it must be presented in front of Yahweh, 8 and the presenter will put his hand on the head of the animal being offered, and slaughter it in front of the sacred tent. Then Aharon’s sons must splash its blood on the altar, on each side. 9 From that peace offering, he must present the fat as a gift to Yahweh, along with the entire fatty tail (cut off near the backbone), the fat covering the innards and which is part of the innards, 10 both kidneys and the fat that’s attached to them, and the lobe on the liver (all of which need to be removed from the animal). 11 Then the priest must burn them on the altar as a food offering made to Yahweh by fire.
12 “Similarly, if the offering is a goat, then it can be presented to Yahweh. 13 The presenter will put his hand on its head, and slaughter it in front of the sacred tent. Then Aharon’s sons must splash its blood on the altar, on each side. 14 From that peace offering, he must present the fat as a gift to Yahweh, along with the fat covering the innards and which is part of the innards, 15 both kidneys and the fat that’s attached to them, and the lobe on the liver (all of which need to be removed from the animal). 16 Then the priest must burn them on the altar as a food offering made to Yahweh by fire as a pleasing aroma. All the fat belongs to Yahweh.
17 “This regulation must be permanent for all future generations: All of you must never eat fat or blood.”
