Leviticus 3:10-17

10 the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver, which you shall remove with the kidneys.

11 Then the priest shall turn these into smoke on the altar as a food offering by fire to the Lord.

12 If your offering is a goat, you shall bring it before the Lord

13 and lay your hand on its head; it shall be slaughtered before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar.

14 You shall present as your offering from it, as an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is around the entrails;

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

16 Then the priest shall turn these into smoke on the altar as a food offering 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 settlements: you must not eat any fat or any blood.
