offerings, if he offers it from the herd,
whether male or female, he shall offer it
without defect before Yahweh.

offering, and kill it at the door of the Tent
of Meeting. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall
sprinkle the blood around on the altar.
3 He shall offer of the sacrifice of peace
offerings an offering made by fire to Yahweh. The fat that covers the innards, and
all the fat that is on the innards,
4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that
is on them, which is by the loins, and the
cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he
shall take away.

that is on the fire: it is an offering made by
fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

of his offering, and kill it before the Tent
of Meeting. Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its
blood around on the altar.
9 He shall offer from the sacrifice of
peace offerings an offering made by fire to
Yahweh; its fat, the entire tail fat, he shall
take away close to the backbone; and the
fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat
that is on the entrails,
10 and the two kidneys, and the fat that
is on them, which is by the loins, and the
cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he
shall take away.

is the food of the offering made by fire to
Yahweh.
