3 Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the Lord. ^aThe fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,

4 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove;

5 and Aaron’s sons ^ashall burn it on the altar upon the ^bburnt sacrifice, which is on the wood that is on the fire, as an ^coffering made by fire, a ^dsweet aroma to the Lord.

9 ‘Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord, its fat and the whole fat tail which he shall remove close to the backbone. And the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,

10 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove;

11 and the priest shall burn them on the altar as ^afood, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

12 ‘And if his ^aoffering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the Lord.

13 He shall lay his hand on its head and kill it before the tabernacle of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.
