Leviticus 3:7-17

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

13 ponet manum suam super caput eius immolabitque eam in introitu tabernaculi testimonii et fundent filii Aaron sanguinem eius per altaris circuitum

14 tollentque ex ea in pastum ignis dominici adipem qui operit ventrem et qui tegit universa vitalia

15 duos renunculos cum reticulo qui est super eos iuxta ilia et arvinam iecoris cum renunculis

16 adolebitque ea sacerdos super altare in alimoniam ignis et suavissimi odoris omnis adeps Domini erit

17 iure perpetuo in generationibus et cunctis habitaculis vestris nec adipes nec sanguinem omnino comedetis
