Leviticus 3:11-17

11 And the priest shall burn it on the altar as food offered by fire to the LORD.

12 "If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD,

13 and lay his hand upon its head, and kill it before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall throw its blood against the altar round about.

14 Then he shall offer from it, as his offering for an offering by fire to the LORD, the fat covering the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails,

15 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys.

16 And the priest shall burn them on the altar as food offered by fire for a pleasing odor. All fat is the LORD's.

17 It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood."
