Contextual Overview

6“If his offering as a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord is from the flock, he is to present a male or female without blemish. 7If he is presenting a lamb for his offering, he is to present it before the Lord. 8He must lay his hand on the head of his offering, then slaughter it before the tent of meeting. Aaron’s sons will splatter its blood on all sides of the altar. 9He will then present part of the fellowship sacrifice as a fire offering to the Lord consisting of its fat and the entire fat tail, which he is to remove close to the backbone. He will also remove the fat surrounding the entrails, all the fat on the entrails, 10the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins, and the fatty lobe of the liver above the kidneys. 11Then the priest will burn the food on the altar, as a fire offering to the Lord. 12“If his offering is a goat, he is to present it before the Lord. 13He must lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the tent of meeting.
