Then Aaron's sons the priests will sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar. 3 From the peace offering you are to bring a food offering to the Lord: all the fat that covers the insides, 4 both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which you are to remove together with the kidneys. 5 Aaron's sons are to burn this on the altar on top of the burnt offering that is on the burning wood, as a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.
