Leviticus, 3

¹ “‘If his offering is a communion sacrifice^*1 and if he is presenting it from the herd, whether a male or a female, he should present a sound animal before Jehovah.

² He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering, and it will be slaughtered at the entrance of the tent of meeting; and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar.

³ He will present part of the communion sacrifice as an offering made by fire to Jehovah: the fat that covers the intestines, all the fat that surrounds the intestines,

⁴ and the two kidneys with the fat on them that is near the loins. He will also remove the appendage of the liver along with the kidneys.

⁵ Aaron’s sons will make it smoke on the altar on top of the burnt offering that is placed on the wood that is over the fire; it is an offering made by fire as a pleasing^*1 aroma to Jehovah.
