Leviticus

Communion Sacrifices

If anyone offers a peace sacrifice from his cattle, whether male or female, whatever he presents before the Lord must be without any defect.

He is to lay his hand on the victim’s head and kill it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall pour the blood on the sides of the altar.

After that, he is to offer the following as a burnt offering for the Lord: the fat that covers the internal organs, all the fat on the internal organs,

the two kidneys, the fat on them, and the loins, along with the best part that he is to remove from the liver and kidneys.

The sons of Aaron shall burn all this on the altar along with the burnt offering, on the wood in the fire. It will be a burnt offering, and its sweet-smelling odor will please the Lord.

If he offers a sheep or goat as a peace offering to the Lord, he must offer a male or female without any defects.

If he offers a sheep, he is to present it before the Lord;

he is to lay his hand on the sheep’s head and kill it in front of the Tent of Meeting; then the sons of Aaron shall pour out its blood on the altar’s sides.

From the peace offering, he is to present the following as a burnt offering to the Lord: the fat, the tail taken off near the backbone, the fat covering the internal organs, and all the fat on the internal organs,

the two kidneys, the fat on them, the loins, and the best part, which he will remove from the liver and kidneys.

The priest shall burn this part on the altar as food, as a burnt offering to the Lord.

If his offering is a goat, he must present it before the Lord.

He is to lay his hand on the goat’s head and kill it in front of the Tent of Meeting, and the sons of Aaron shall pour out its blood on the sides of the altar.

Then he is to offer the following as a burnt offering for the Lord: the fat that covers the internal organs, all the fat that is on the internal organs,

the two kidneys, the fat that is on them and the loins, and the best part which he will remove from the liver and kidneys.

The priest shall burn these pieces on the altar as food, a burnt offering for the Lord.

All the fat belongs to the Lord. This is a law forever for all your descendants, wherever they may live: never eat either fat or blood.”
