3:1 When you offer sacrifices to ask my blessing, you may offer either a bull or a cow, but there must be nothing wrong with the animal. |
3:2 Lead it to the entrance of the sacred tent, lay your hand on its head, and have it killed there. A priest from Aaron's family will splatter its blood against the four sides of the altar. |
3:3 Offer all of the fat on the animal's insides, |
3:4 as well as the lower part of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat. |
3:5 Some of the priests will lay these pieces on the altar and send them up in smoke with a smell that pleases me, together with the sacrifice that is offered to please me. |
3:6 Instead of a bull or a cow, you may offer any sheep or goat that has nothing wrong with it. |
3:7 If you offer a sheep, you must present it to me at the entrance to the sacred tent. |
3:8 Lay your hand on its head and have it killed there. A priest will then splatter its blood against the four sides of the altar. |
3:9 Offer the fat on the tail, the tailbone, and the insides, |
3:10 as well as the lower part of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat. |
3:11 One of the priests will lay these pieces on the altar and send them up in smoke as a food offering for me. |
3:12 If you offer a goat, you must also present it to me |
3:13 at the entrance to the sacred tent. Lay your hand on its head and have it killed there. A priest will then splatter its blood against the four sides of the altar. |
3:14 Offer all of the fat on the animal's insides, |
3:15 as well as the lower part of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat. |
3:16 One of the priests will put these pieces on the altar and send them up in smoke as a food offering with a smell that pleases me. All fat belongs to me. |
3:17 So you and your descendants must never eat any fat or any blood, not even in the privacy of your own homes. This law will never change. |
