1And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offerings, and he will offer of the herd, whether male or female: he shall offer them without blemish before the Lord.
2And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his victim, which shall be slain in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony: and the sons of Aaron the priests shall pour the blood round about upon the altar.
3And they shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings, for an oblation to the Lord: the fat that covereth the entrails, and all the fat that is within,
4The two kidneys with the fat wherewith the flanks are covered, and the caul of the liver with the two little kidneys.
5And they shall burn them upon the altar, for a holocaust, putting fire under the wood: for an oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord.
6But if his oblation and the sacrifice of peace offering be of the flock, whether he offer male or female, they shall be without blemish.

8He shall put his hand upon the head of the victim. And it shall be slain in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony: and the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
9And they shall offer of the victim of peace offerings, a sacrifice to the Lord: the fat and the whole rump,
10With the kidneys, and the fat that covereth the belly and all the vitals and both the little kidneys, with the fat that is about the flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys.
11And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, for the food of the fire, and of the oblation of the Lord.
12If his offering be a goat, and he offer it to the Lord:
13He shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and shall immolate it in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony. And the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
14And they shall take of it for the food of the Lord's fire, the fat that covereth the belly, and that covereth all the vital parts:
15The two little kidneys with the caul that is upon them which is by the flanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys.
16And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, for the food of the fire, and of a most sweet savour. All the fat shall be the Lord's.
17By a perpetual law for your generations, and in all your habitations: neither blood nor fat shall you eat at all.
