| 1“If you present an animal from the herd as a peace offering to the LORD, it may be a male or a female, but it must have no defects. | 1“If one’s offering is a peace offering and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he must present it without blemish before the LORD. |
| 2Lay your hand on the animal’s head, and slaughter it at the entrance of the Tabernacle. Then Aaron’s sons, the priests, will splatter its blood against all sides of the altar. | 2He is to lay his hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar. |

| 4the two kidneys and the fat around them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver. These must be removed with the kidneys, | 4both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys. |
| 5and Aaron’s sons will burn them on top of the burnt offering on the wood burning on the altar.
