New Testament
Leviticus 3
Regulations for the Fellowship Offering
31When someone presents a sacrifice as a fellowship offering,[] if he presents it from the herd, either a male or a female, he shall present before the Lord an animal without blemish 2and lay his hand on the head of his offering. He shall slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Aaron's sons, the priests, are to splash the blood against all sides of the altar. 3From the sacrifice of the fellowship offering he is then to present as an offering made by fire to the Lord these parts: the fat that surrounds the inner organs and all the fat on the inner organs, 4the two kidneys with the fat around them on the muscles and sinews, and the protruding lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. 5Aaron's sons shall send it up in smoke on the altar. Place it on top of the burnt offering that is placed on the wood on the fire. Offer it as an offering made by fire, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
6If he presents a male or a female from the flock to the Lord as the sacrifice of a fellowship offering, he shall present an animal without blemish. 7If he presents a sheep as his offering, he shall present it before the Lord 8and lay his hand on the head of his offering. He shall slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron's sons shall splash its blood against all sides of the altar. 9Then he shall present the fat from the sacrifice of the fellowship offering as an offering made by fire to the Lord. Include all of the fat tail, which is cut off from the base of the spine, the fat that surrounds the inner organs, and all of the fat on the inner organs. 10Also include the two kidneys with the fat around them on the muscles and sinews, as well as the protruding lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. 11The priest shall send it up in smoke on the altar as food, as an offering made by fire to the Lord.
12If his offering is a goat, he shall present it before the Lord 13and lay his hand on its head. He shall slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron's sons shall splash its blood against all sides of the altar. 14He shall then present his offering from it as an offering made by fire to the Lord: the fat that covers the inner organs and all the fat around the inner organs, 15as well as the two kidneys with the fat around them on the muscles and sinews, and the protruding lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. 16The priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar as food, as an offering made by fire, with a pleasing aroma. All fat belongs to the Lord. 17This is a permanent regulation throughout your generations in all your settlements: You must not eat any fat or any blood.
