Leviticus 3 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. If his offering is a peace sacrifice, and if he is offering from the herd, whether male or female, then he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord.

2. He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the door of the tent of meeting, and the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood on the sides of the altar.

3. He shall offer from the peace sacrifice, as a food offering made by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,

4. and the two kidneys with the fat that is above them, which is on the loins, and the appendage on the liver which he shall remove with the kidneys.

5. Then the sons of Aaron shall burn it on the altar on the burnt sacrifice that is on the wood that is on the fire, as a food offering made by fire, which is a pleasing aroma for the Lord.
