Leviticus 3:7-17 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

7. If you bring a lamb as an offering to the Lord,

8. you must put your hand on the animal’s head and kill it in front of the Meeting Tent. Then Aaron’s sons will splash the animal’s blood on all four sides of the altar.

9. The priest will take part of the fellowship offering to the altar as a gift to the Lord. The priest must cut off the tail close to the backbone. Then he will offer the tail with all its fat and the fat that is over and around the animal’s inner parts.

10. He will also offer the two kidneys and the fat covering them near the lower back muscles. He will also offer the fat part of the liver. He must remove it with the kidneys.

11. Then the priest will take that part to the altar to be burned up as food, a gift to the Lord.

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

13. You must put your hand on the goat’s head and kill it in front of the Meeting Tent. Then Aaron’s sons, the priests, must splash the goat’s blood on all four sides of the altar.

14. The priest will give part of the fellowship offering as a gift to the Lord. He will offer the fat that is over and around the animal’s inner parts.

15. He will offer the two kidneys and the fat covering them near the lower back muscle. He will also offer the fat part of the liver. He will remove it with the kidneys.

16. Then the priest will bring that food as a sweet-smelling gift to the Lord. The fat belongs to the Lord.

17. This rule will continue forever through all your generations. Wherever you live, you must never eat fat or blood.”
