New Testament

Leviticus 3:6-10 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

6. " 'If a man brings an animal from the flock as a friendship offering to the Lord, it can be either male or female. It must not have any flaws.

7. If he brings a lamb, he must offer it in the sight of the Lord.

8. The man must place his hand on the lamb's head. It must be killed there in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then the priests who are in Aaron's family line must sprinkle its blood against every side of the altar.

9. Part of the offering must be brought as a sacrifice that is made to the Lord with fire. It must include the lamb's fat and the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone. It must include all of the fat that covers the inside parts or is connected to them.

10. It must include both kidneys with the fat on them next to the lower back muscles. It must also include the covering of the liver. All of it must be removed together with the kidneys.
