Leviticus 3:16 in Context — Leviticus 3

14 De la victime, il offrira en sacrifice consumé par le feu devant l’Éternel: la graisse qui couvre les entrailles et toute celle qui y est attachée,

15 les deux rognons, et la graisse qui les entoure, qui couvre les flancs, et le grand lobe du foie, qu’il détachera près des rognons.

16 Le sacrificateur brûlera cela sur l’autel. Toute la graisse est l’aliment d’un sacrifice consumé par le feu, d’une agréable odeur à l’Éternel.

17 C’est ici une loi perpétuelle pour vos descendants, dans tous les lieux où vous habiterez: vous ne mangerez ni graisse ni sang.
