2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto יהוה; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.

5 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto יהוה.

10 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Leviticus chapter 3 cover?
Leviticus 3 sets out the peace offering, which could be a male or female animal from the herd, a lamb, or a goat, with the fat, kidneys, and the caul above the liver burned on the altar unto the LORD.
What lasting rule does Leviticus 3 end with?
Verse 17 calls it 'a perpetual statute for your generations... that ye eat neither fat nor blood,' a prohibition rooted earlier in Genesis 9:4.
What happened to the rest of the animal, besides the fat?
Only the fat, kidneys, and liver covering were burned on the altar (vv. 3-5, 9-11, 14-16); the flesh was not entirely consumed by fire the way it was in the sin offering described next in Leviticus 4.
