Leviticus 3:17

¹⁷“‘It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.’”a

Leviticus 3 details the regulations for the fellowship offering, also known as the peace offering. Unlike the burnt offering which was entirely consumed, or the grain offering which was partially consumed, the fellowship offering allowed the worshiper to share in the meal with God and the priests. This chapter outlines the specific animals acceptable for sacrifice—cattle, sheep, or goats—and the precise manner of their preparation, emphasizing the burning of the fat and kidneys to the Lord, signifying God's portion and the sanctity of life.
