11 And the preast shall burne them apon the alter to fede the Lordes offrynge withall.

12 Yf the offrynge be a goote, he shall brynge it before the Lorde

14 And he shall brynge thereof his offrynge vnto the Lordes sacrifyce: the fatt that couereth the inwardes and all the fatt that is apo the inwardes

15 and the .ij. kydneyes and the fatt that lyeth apon them and apon the loynes, and the kall that is apo the lyuer he shall take awaye with the kydneyes.
