6 ‘If his offering as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord is of the flock, whether male or female, ahe shall offer it without blemish.
7 If he offers a alamb as his offering, then he shall boffer it cbefore the Lord.
8 And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of meeting; and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.
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.

What Does Leviticus 3:8 Mean?
Leviticus 3:8
The Aaronic priests were purified for service to God through the transferal of their sins to a bull. Similarly, when an Israelite presented a peace or a sin offering, he laid his hands upon the animal being offered, identifying himself with it and transferring his guilt to the animal. Thus, the animal was set apart by God through the laying on of hands.
