Leviticus 3
1 Bvt yf his offerynge be a deedofferinge of greate catell (whether it be oxe or cowe) then shal he offre soch as is without blemysh before the LORDE,2 & shal laie his hande vpon the heade of it, and kyll it before the dore of the Tabernacle of wytnesse. And the prestes Aarons sonnes, shall sprenkle the bloude rounde aboute vpon the altare,3 and shal offre of ye deadofferynge vnto the LORDE: namely, all the fat that is within,4 and the two kydneyes with the fat that is theron vpon the loynes, and the nett on the leuer vpo the kydneyes also.5 And Aarons sonnes shal burne it vpon the altare for a burntofferynge, euen vpon the wod that lyeth on the fyre. This is an offerynge of a swete sauoure vnto the LORDE.
6 Yf his deadofferynge be of small catell, whether it be male or female, it shal be without blemish:7 Yf it be a lambe, then shall he brynge it before the LORDE,8 & shal laye his hande vpon the heade of it, and sleye it before the Tabernacle of wytnesse. And Aarons sonnes shal sprenkle his bloude rounde aboute vpon the altare,9 and so offre of the deadofferynge vnto the LORDE: namely, the fat of it, all the rompe with the backe, and the fat that couereth the bowels, with all ye fat that is within,10 and the two kydneys with the fat that is theron vpon the loynes, & the nett on the leuer vpon the kydneys also.11 And the prest shal burne it vpon the altare, for ye meate of the offerynge vnto ye LORDE.12 But yf his offeringe be a goate, and bringeth it before the LORDE,13 he shal laye his hande vpon the heade of it, and kyll it before the Tabernacle of wytnesse. And Aarons sonnes shal sprekle the bloude rounde aboute vpo the altare,14 & shal offer therof a sacrifice vnto the LORDE: namely, the fat yt couereth the bowels, and all the fat yt is within,15 the two kydneys with the fat that is theron vpon the loynes, & the net on the leuer vpon the kydneys.16 And the prest shal burne it vpo the altare, for the meate of the sacrifice to a swete sauoure.17 All the fatt is the LORDES. Let this be a perpetuall lawe amonge yor posterities in all youre dwellynges, that ye eate no fatt, ner bloude.
