13 and he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and he shall slaughter it before the tent of assembly, and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle its blood on the altar all around.

14 He shall present his offering from it [as] an offering made by fire for Yahweh: the fat covering the inner parts and all the fat that [is] on the inner parts,

15 the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which [is] on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys.

16 The priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar [as] a food [offering]; all the fat [is] an offering made by fire [as] an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.

17 [This is] a lasting statute for your generations in all your dwellings: you must not eat any fat or any blood.'"
