Leviticus chapter 3

After reading chapter 3:

*Here we have instructions for peace offerings, but we have not yet been told the purpose of peace offerings. It seems that the animals are to be slaughtered and the blood sprinkled in the same way that the burnt offering was. This time, however, only the fatty parts were to be burned. It was to be a permanent law that the Israelites were not to eat blood or fat. This was not because God was worried about their cholesterol, it was because the fat belongs to the lord.
