New Testament

Leviticus 3:6-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. If the communion sacrifice one offers to the Lord is from the flock, be it a male or a female animal, it must be presented without blemish.

7. If one presents a lamb as an offering, that person shall bring it before the Lord,

8. and after laying a hand on the head of the offering, it shall then be slaughtered before the tent of meeting. Aaron’s sons shall splash its blood on all the sides of the altar.

9. From the communion sacrifice the individual shall present as an oblation to the Lord its fat: the whole fatty tail, which is removed close to the spine, the fat that covers the inner organs, and all the fat that adheres to them,

10. as well as the two kidneys, with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which is removed with the kidneys.

11. The priest shall burn this on the altar as food, an oblation to the Lord.
