Leviticus 3

But if you want to offer a fellowship sacrifice, do this. If you want to offer a bovine, whether the animal is male or female, you should offer a totally healthy animal in the place where I, God, live among the Israelites.

You should place your hands on the head of the bovine that you are offering. You should kill that animal in the entrance to the sacred tent. Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, should take the blood from the bovine and splatter it onto every side of the altar. \*

And from your fellowship sacrifice, you should offer a gift to me, God. This gift should consist of the caul fat that covers all the internal organs and all the visceral fat that is attached to the internal organs.

This gift should include both kidneys and the suet fat that is attached to them near the loin cuts. It should also include the lobes of the bovine’s liver and the kidneys (which you should also remove).

Then {one of the priests} descended from Aaron should burn these fat portions and internal organs on the altar in such a way that it causes smoke to go up alongside the wholly burned sacrifices that the priest is burning on the wood fire {that he has built on the altar}. I, God, will consider this sacrifice a gift, and I will enjoy the smell of the smoke. \*

But if you want to offer an animal from your flocks of sheep or goats to me, God, as a fellowship sacrifice, whether the animal is male or female, you should offer a totally healthy animal.

If you want to offer a lamb, you should offer it in the place where I, God, live among the Israelites.

You should place your hands on the head of the lamb that you are offering. You should kill it before the sacred tent. Then {one of the priests} descended from Aaron should take the blood from the lamb and splatter it onto every side of the altar. \*

And from your fellowship sacrifice, you should offer a gift to me, God. This gift should consist of all the sheep’s intestinal fat, the entire portion of the tail fat (which you should cut off near the backbone), the caul fat that covers all the internal organs, and all the visceral fat that is attached to the internal organs.

Your gift should also include both kidneys, the suet fat that is attached to them near the loin cuts, the lobes of the lamb’s liver, and the kidneys (which you should also remove).

Then the priest should burn all the fat and the internal organs on the altar in a way that causes smoke to go up. You should consider this sacrifice as a gift of food for my holy purposes. \*

Likewise, if you want to offer a goat to me, you should offer it in the place where I, God, live among the Israelites.

You should place your hands on the head of the goat that you are offering. You should kill the animal in the entrance to the sacred tent. Then {one of the priests} descended from Aaron should take the blood from the goat and splatter it onto every side of the altar.

And from your sacrifice, you should offer a gift to me, God. This gift should consist of the caul fat that covers all the internal organs and all the visceral fat that is attached to the internal organs. \*

Your gift should also include both kidneys, the suet fat that is attached to them near the loin cuts, the lobes of the lamb’s liver, and the kidneys (which you should also remove).

Then the priest should burn all the fat and the internal organs on the altar in a way that causes smoke to go up. You should consider this sacrifice as a gift of food for my holy purposes, and I, God, will enjoy the smell of the smoke of the sacrifice. {You should not eat any of this fat,} because all of the fat of any animal that you sacrifice belongs exclusively to me.

This is an enduring and permanent command that must be observed by you and all your descendants, wherever you happen to live: {Because they belong exclusively to me,} you must not consume the fat or the blood of any animal that you sacrifice to me.” \*
