Leviticus 3 explains the peace offering. Whether the animal comes from the herd or flock, it must be without blemish. The worshipper lays a hand upon the offering, the animal is killed, the priests sprinkle its blood, and specified fat portions are burned upon the altar. The chapter repeatedly states that all the fat is the LORD’s and closes with a statute prohibiting Israel from eating fat or blood.
