Leviticus 3:15-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys. ¹⁶ And the priest shall burn them on the altar as food offered by fire for a pleasing odor. All fat is the Lord’s. ¹⁷ It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood.”
