New Testament

Leviticus 3:9-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

9. Then you may offer the fat from the communal sacrifice of well-being as a food gift for the Lord: the whole fat tail, which should be removed close to the tailbone; the fat that covers and surrounds the insides;

10. the two kidneys and the fat around them at the loins; and the lobe on the liver, which should be removed with the kidneys.

11. The priest will then completely burn all of this on the altar as food—as a food gift for the Lord.

12. If the offering is a goat, you must present it before the Lord.

13. You must press your hand on its head and slaughter it before the meeting tent. Aaron’s sons will toss its blood against every side of the altar.

14. Then you may present as your offering—a food gift for the Lord—the fat that covers and surrounds the insides;

15. the two kidneys and the fat around them at the loins; and the lobe on the liver, which should be removed with the kidneys.

16. The priest will then completely burn all of this on the altar as food—as a food gift for a soothing smell. All fat belongs to the Lord.

17. This is a permanent rule for your future generations, wherever you live: you must not eat any fat or blood.
