Leviticus 3:2-12

2 ponetque manum super caput victimae suae quae immolabitur in introitu tabernaculi fundentque filii Aaron sacerdotes sanguinem per circuitum altaris

3 et offerent de hostia pacificorum in oblationem Domini adipem qui operit vitalia et quicquid pinguedinis intrinsecus est

4 duos renes cum adipe quo teguntur ilia et reticulum iecoris cum renunculis

5 adolebuntque ea super altare in holocaustum lignis igne subposito in oblationem suavissimi odoris Domino

6 si vero de ovibus fuerit eius oblatio et pacificorum hostia sive masculum sive feminam obtulerit inmaculata erunt

7 si agnum obtulerit coram Domino

8 ponet manum super caput victimae suae quae immolabitur in vestibulo tabernaculi testimonii fundentque filii Aaron sanguinem eius per altaris circuitum

9 et offerent de pacificorum hostia sacrificium Domino adipem et caudam totam

10 cum renibus et pinguedinem quae operit ventrem atque universa vitalia et utrumque renunculum cum adipe qui est iuxta ilia reticulumque iecoris cum renunculis

11 et adolebit ea sacerdos super altare in pabulum ignis et oblationis Domini

12 si capra fuerit eius oblatio et obtulerit eam Domino
