1 “If one’s offering is a peace offering and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he must present it without blemish before the LORD.

2 He is to lay his hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall splatter the blood on all sides of the altar.

3 From the peace offering he is to bring a food offering to the LORD: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.

5 Then Aaron’s sons are to burn it on the altar atop the burnt offering that is on the burning wood, as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
