Leviticus 3:10-17

10 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away.

11 The Kohen shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to the LORD.

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

13 and he shall lay his hand on its head, and kill it before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aharon shall sprinkle its blood on the altar round about.

14 He shall offer from it as his offering, an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,

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

16 The Kohen shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savor; all the fat is the LORD's.

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